I've seen this happen before with other cars and the culprit is usually an elderly person.

But then there's the guy in back, who took the space in front also. Good thing there's plenty of open spaces.

A few years back I kept noticing all these tiny little balls of bird crap in a straight horizontal line on my passenger door right below the window and for the life of me couldn't figure how they got there. Fast forward a few days, I'm sitting in my office looking out the window at my car and I see these small birds on the lower window trim, walking back a forth looking at their reflection in my nice clean windows and pooping as they walked back and forth. I wanted to shoot them. |

In this thread I have found my people. How many of you also leave notes on cars that park too close to you?
The worst is when you park at the edge of a large end spot and some f*ckface squeezes their car in between you and the next. There ends up being essentially 3 cars within 2 spots These people are living pieces of trash. It's happened to me twice in the past 6 months!! |

Your car isn't nice enough to park in two spots. I used to park like this. Then I turned 6. If parking were a game of chess, you'd lose. Maybe a GPS system could've helped you find the middle of this parking spot. It was either this, or put a crowbar through your window. Didn't know it was National Let Your Child Drive to Work Day. Double parking hints at something deeper. Hope you're better between the sheets than you are between the lines. Apparently you have boundary issues. Aliens searching for intelligent life would see your parking job and leave. Did you park like this or was there an earthquake? And my personal favorite: The way you pulled in makes me wish your dad would've pulled out.

I agree with most of what is being said. The end spot is super important when it comes to minimizing risk. However, sometimes I will park it in an inconspicuous spot. Meaning the end spot or isolated spot is preferred, but if it draws unwanted or unsupervised attention then I am careful. A lot of punks and losers out there that hate seeing people happy. Basically I try not to park like a douche. I try not to flaunt my happiness for fear of someone "flicking boogers" or guy skateboarding down my hood for a cool you tube video.

Jaysus. If he drove, say, a brand-new M5, I could almost understand this.
But a compact panel van? I'd suggest deflating the tires, but that would just mean the damn thing would be stuck there longer.

At my University there is a spot by our building with two spots, that is it. During the day they are always taken. I roll in around around 10am and damn one of the spots is open so I whip into it and park. Just as I am about to get out I notice it is now a reversed spot. Damn, backup and go park across the street in the big lot. A colleague did the same thing. We then both learn the new permit holder is for the University's former President who we work with. We laughed.
Oh yeah notes on cars, #9 is for BMWs http://boredomtherapy.com/windshield-notes/ |

Happens a lot, I am convinced it is intentional.

I know I'm being a d*ck about it as the elderly, especially in the setting of a hospital, have limited mobility and their senses aren't what they used to be, but the car lover in me cringes. |

I never did it cuz I'm an elitist douche, it was solely to protect my car from the eventual a-hole who comes and parks next to me in the empty lot, but I digress. |

When self-driving cars become commonplace enough for some elderly to use, I'm a proponent of requiring a full re-examination for Driver's Licenses at age 65. The more of those we can get out of a driver's seat, the better.

I am 54, and would be willing to do this to ensure I am safe on the road. My current license is good for 8 years. Imagine how much I can change between 54 and 62, then again at 70.
