I work for a large company, and often our parking lots are packed (over 5,000 employees at our main location), making the task of locating a parking spot difficult...especially if you arrive any later than 8:30 am.

I am usually one of the first 30 or so cars in the three lots closest to my building, arriving by 7:30 every day. The last couple weeks, the weather has been great here in Kansas City and I have been taking my S2000 to work. For the most part, I always grab the same parking spot because it is extra wide, and on the end of a row, which I love because door dings aren't a worry. The downside is it means I park a full city block from the building I work in.

It is ironic that today I took a couple of pictures of the car immediately after parking. Here is the car parked this morning after arriving at work:




But then, after work:




Essentially, the jackass owner of this Buick did not care to search for a parking spot and/or did not want to find a spot any further away and add to his/her walking distance to the building. The result is TWO cars parked in the SAME parking stall.

Fortunately for this car's owner, I had just finished puking in our bathroom and was headed home to rest - otherwise I can't say what I would have done - given that the stupidity that is provoked within many people while behind the wheel of a car is one of my biggest peeves.

The good news is we have security on our company's campus that will love to see the above picture, along with the picture I snapped of the Buick's license plate, and address the owner directly - because all license plates have to be registered in an online system to receive a parking permit.

I think most non-gearhead people would say, "It's just a car, what's the big deal?". Well, the 'big deal' is that the situation is not a matter of cars - it's a matter of respecting other people's property - and not driving/parking like a complete asshole.

EDIT:
Forgot the note I left for this person...

 

what a jerk off

 

did he ding you?

 

Thankfully he did not. Or he would have had four flat tires.

 

That would set me off too. Most people just don't get it. Car is beautiful by the way.

 

Thanks Mark.

Not gonna lie, I peep out the windows while at work often - both on my '12 Si and the S2000 to see who parks in the vincinity just in case. You simply can trust other people.

 

FEEL YOUR PAIN! hate assholes like that. happens to me quite often. i always park where i can keep an eye on it. like you, i don't trust people.

 

I always worry about this too.. I always park in the garage and when I'm about to head out I always give a quick walk around the car to see if everything looks in order lol.

 

I do the same thing at work. If anybody would have the balls to ding me i would kick a dent in their door.

 

Happens to me at school, go to a downtown school where you either get free parking 20 mins off campus or pay $325 every 3-4 months. I park for free and our lot is our hometown baseball stadium (you can imagine the narrowness of the spots). Some jerkoff put a quarter sized dent in my driver door, I get to look at it every time I get into my baby now.
