I am going to start driving around with pre-printed “ASSHOLE” and “FUCKER” stickers…

Note to self: Avoid San Francisco due to irrational vigilante car keyers.

And neither was the person who received the note – at least, not necessarily. Even if she was the first one parked in line, there could have been a large vehicle BEHIND her, and when that left and the next car only pulled up so far. It does the same thing – leaving a honking big gap between cars.

Thinking…..it’s awesome. And so is reading comprehension.

But then you weren’t the first person in the line of cars, now were you?

It’s most cerainly the FIRST person to park in a line of parallel spots that screws it up, if they haven’t considered the space they leave around them. Leaving 3/4 of a spot is unacceptable unless you’re the LAST to park there. In any case you should always pull to the END of the line. Friend of #1 would get keyed in San Francisco, forget about notes.

Not all areas with parallel parking have lines. My neighborhood doesn’t.

So, you could have large pickup truck, space for one car, and a large work van in a row. I could park my little car in the single spot in the middle, have the two trucks leave and have two regular cars pull in on either end of my car, leaving what looks to be a badly-parked me (with tons of room on either end of my car). Happens all the time.

However, all my neighbors are familiar with this and don’t leave notes.

How can a car parked behind yours make it appear that you have taken up MORE space? Don’t those line-thingies on the pavement show where one space ends and the next one starts?

Technically….. But how often do you see dedicated motorcycle parking?

Well, I offer one possible scenario to explain the printed-note phenomenon, in comment #8.4.

I have a question: why are a majority of these notes typed up? I understand having a piece of paper and pen with me most of the time. But I wouldn’t drive to the nearest printer just to type up a note and come back to tape it on someone’s car. And I certainly don;t have a waireless printer in my back seat. Even if I did, my phone charger has already laid claim to the cigarette lighter.

Shelfish pig might be awesome, but it sure ain’t kosher.

*cough*

TECHNICALLY, a motorcycle isn’t a compact car, either.

Just sayin’.

YES!
“BAD PARK YOU” stickers are a brilliant idea. We could sell them and make a killing. We could also make “BAD ________ YOU” stickers for those other annoying PA situations that come up every once in a great while. This could be a gold mine. Where is my phone book so I can look up a good print shop.

What’s that? Technology has made phone books and print shops obsolete? Well then, so much for my fortune. (insert frowny face) But it is still a great idea to print your own stickers and pass the PA cheer around. (Insert one of those smiley face things that I also don’t know how to insert)
