I agree, it's funny how many people on this site act like we drive Bentleys or something the general public cannot afford. "How DARE you park next to my car!!"

Hmm, let's see. I've raised 3 kids that have turned out to be pretty good people and I get laid on a pretty regular basis, so I'd say it's ok for some of us to point our A-hole parkers! No, it doesnt keep up at night and snapping a picture is actually pretty easy and quick to do! Apparently you have enough time to comment about us on here! Just sayin!

No, most of us don't think of our cars as a Bentley, but we do value them and care for them. We spent our hard earned money on them!

I'd rather drive a Camaro than a Bentley! (Not my cup of tea)

No matter how close I park to the end or how much extra room I give others next to me, they always park over the line. OCD nightmare I tell ya.

"First move front," "park to leave" or most often titled "first move forward" is a policy that most companies with fleet vehicles adopt because it is orders of magnitude safer to back into spots and pull out of spots head first than the latter.

If you actually look around, these signs are found in parking lots quite frequently:



I don't know what you mean by "subjectivity." Have you ever waited for people to back out of spots vs pulling out head-first immediately? Backing in takes slightly longer than pulling in head-first, but pulling out head-first is much faster than backing out.

Collectively, backing in/pulling out head-first is faster than how most people typically park and much, much safer. For some reason, when this is brought up, people tend to get offended. Camaro drivers will park in the middle of nowhere a mile away from the door in parking lots and that's OK, but they won't admit they park incorrectly

Sometimes A Good Offense Is The Best Defense.
Did you know that the average driver operates a vehicle in reverse for only about one mile annually, yet statistics show that 25-30% of all accidents occur while vehicles are backing up? Consider that drivers looking for parking spaces are distracted; people backing out of parking spaces are concerned with avoiding collision with the vehicles on either side. Both drivers are distracted and so accidents happen.
Park correctly. Back into spots, don't pull in head-first.

Instead of taking a picture, why dont you grow a set of nuts and wait for the guy or gal and straighten them out for parking next to your preicous camaro. Because you rather come to a message board and bash them, call them names because your too afraid to really do anything about it.

Don't recall saying they were parking next to my precious camaro and other than saying A-hole parkers in general, dont recall any bashing. I'm sure you're balls are big enough for everyone on here so I'm not worried about needing to grow mine any bigger! Last time i checked, this was a forum to post about camaros which may or may not include discussions on A-hole parkers. If you don't like topic, stay off the post!

Kind of off topic but not really. I went to verizon to pay my bill earlier today and parked too myself with co worker in the car, while I was inside the verizon store my phone rings and its my co worker telling me to come outside bc some chick just bumped my car (the ss). I go out and thankfully it was very minor damage (pretty much not obvious), I was nervous at first but once I viewed the tiny mark i sent her on her way (was not a big deal), plus its just a car.
