Feeble attempt to park far away from others....

Came out of Buffalo Wild Wings to find this



Thought it was ridiculous. Had to laugh and take a pic.

I would be less worried about that than a regular vehicle... I would venture to say a truck driver is more cautious than the everyday joe

When parking far away i always take 2 spots up. I never do when the lot is near full, But with the pic you took ,you should of parked in the far corner and hogged 2 spots , The extra 20 feet to walk is worth it to me.

Aren't you depending on everyone else to follow the basic tenet you yourself are breaking.... 1 space per car. You're asking for trouble by taking 2 spaces.

i go back and forth on that , Has anyone ever got their car keyed when they park as far as they can ,and only take 2 spots when there are plenty of spots left. and far away from any other cars. If i am in a 3/4 filled lot then i will not take 2 spots, I supppose someone has had there car keyed ,but was it because they parked in the "good spots " I would think the chances of getting keyed when parked in a half fulled lot all the way in the back corner has to be pretty slim. But i will reconsider this, Maybe i should just use 1 spot, BUT DAMN I HATE WHEN SOMEONE PARKS NEXT TO ME, ???

How does taking two spaces prevent someone from parking next to you? They could still park an inch from your door, and now you've got a better chance of being keyed.

Man, I've been parking all wrong. Taking two spots is a win-win.
