Just Why?!!

Is it me or does this happen to others? Why do you have to park right on top of my car regardless of how remote my parking spot? I mean so close I can’t even fully open my car door? I’m talking about in the boonies of each lot, ABI, and not a car within spiting distance when I park and every damn time I return my car is damn near surrounded by other cars, trucks and today a damn school bus. Just why?!!

Doesn't matter where you park or how far. Someone will cozy up next to you.

Aalfred · 10-20-2022, 10:50 AM

I think they want you to think that you are NOT safe anywhere u park. I normally just find a spot between 2 small sedans and park mine. Atleast its safe between them...No SUV's..lol

Man I'd be pissed on either. Such disrespect. People are so oblivious and could care less about your stuff. In fact they'd be pissed at you if you confronted them! Happens all to often.

The only significant door ding I ever got on my E46 was from a drug rep at a hospital. I parked in the middle of nowhere and this lady kicked her door open because her hands were full.

Why did she have to park next to me in the middle of nowhere?

She was probably on drugs?

At least you were actually outside by your car when it happened. What are the odds?

snareman · 10-20-2022, 01:06 PM

I work in an ER and this where we park outside it. These spots were sized for AMBULANCES. They are super wide. One of my coworkers came in and confessed to me that she opened her door and hit my car. Thankfully just a small ding on the mirror I might not have noticed otherwise. I said, how did you possibly park that close to me in a space that large? She suggested, maybe you are parked over near the edge? Nope, I'm anal about parking in the middle of the space.

I don't know what's more upsetting, the car parking so close or you almost scraping the front bumper on the curb 😂

GixY2K · 10-21-2022, 06:26 AM

Really!
I've been tempted to just ask, "excuse me, but what motivated you to park so damn close to my car having so much space on the other side?".
Just as a social experiment

And yes, most recently on Tue of this week at the MB dealership.

Looks like Jeep owners exhibit the same traits in Europe.
