When I had a small car, I used to like to squeeze in next to someone who took two spaces. I’d pick the wide side unless they centered it up perfectly. I was skinny in those days, and it didn’t take very much room for me to wiggle out of the car door.
That was it? He didn’t do anything, he didn’t even block the guys door.

I woulda parked so close he wouldn’t be able to get his door open.
He parked like a male member....but should have parked someplace else less crowded. Always park way out in the north forty. Doesn’t hurt me to walk a little.
Disappointing.
He left enough room for the corvette driver to open his door.
Back when I drove expensive sports cars, I parked way out in the lots. I preferred to walk rather than have door dingers parked next to me. Plus, if the alarm went off, it being off by itself, everyone could see which car alarm was going off.
I used to work with a guy who always had nice cars.
He would always park maybe 50 yards from the main area just to avoid scratches etc.
I am too lazy but in a way I admired him.
Big deal! I’ve done that too. Parked so close, at the same angle, the the jerk in the Beamer had to get into his car from the passenger door. I’m talking 2 inches away from his driver’s side. And I watched, just in case he would decide to key my car. Copied his plate number, and had my camera at hand. Had to hang around for 15 minutes, but it was worth it. If they wanna park like that, they should go to the back of the lot, where there are no other cars! But then, I call the cops on people parking in handicapped spots. That’s a $250 ticket in our town!
Corvette driver there is guilty of Douchebaggery in the First Degree ... deserved a lot worse than he got.
The guy laughed it off, adding on a ‘what are you going to do about it?’
The owner shrugged, and I leaned over and suggested to the guy, ‘best move the car, you only have a few minutes.’ Again, the laugh and he took his beer over to join his trophy girlfriend.
Five minutes passed, and 30 motorcycles pulled up into the lot, the riders paused, then about half of them went and parked around the car, the rest across the front of the spaces in a second line. The guy got livid, he's blocked in, and if there's a scratch on his car...
The bikers laughed, went on to take over most of the bar, and the guy went to the owner, saying he had to do something. ‘I did buddy, I told you to move your car. He warned you as well,’ he added, pointing at me.
‘I'll call the police, get them to move those damn bikes.’
The owner shrugged, ‘go ahead; it's a thirty minute hike to the top of the peak over there, you might, if it is a clear day, get a signal on your phone. And maybe in an hour or three, an officer might stop by. ‘course, then he'd have to call some tow trucks, and those will take two hours to show up. So if you got five hours to blow, you could do that. Or you could go tell those guys that you were a jerk, and you're sorry, and you'd like to go park your car properly. If you do it nice enough, they might even move their bikes.’
The idiot passed by two pay phones on his way out the door to go hike up to the peak to place his call to the police to get someone to move those cars. Came back about an hour later, grumpy, because he couldn't get a signal. ‘course, in the mean time, the bikers had finished their lunch and already left.
As the economy goes down the toilet and society crumbles, people are becoming increasingly snippy towards each other. So the corvette driver parked like a jerk. Get over it.
I’ve seen jerks with nice cars take up FOUR parking spots by parking halfway across two spots and halfway pulled into the spot in front of him.
The guy is fortunate that someone didn’t key his shiny toy.
There really are people in the world who resent nice cars and do go out of their way to park their banged up rust bucket too close and ding the door. It feels like you’re marked and the first ding comes within weeks, even with parking out in the empty part of the lot, they’ll wedge right up beside you with the two being the only vehicles in a hundred feet.
That said, taking up two spaces right at the front door was asinine. His used Vette (and he bought it used, you can see the temporary tags on it and that’s not the new model) was more important than inconveniencing people.
He deserved the derision. Maybe he’ll park his precious perfect baby out of the way next time and inconvenience himself instead of others.
I would have parked close enough that the puke would have to crawl in the passengers side
I did something similar at work about 15 yrs ago. One of our guys with a nice new Olds or something like that used to always park near the fence/gate and take up 2 spots. One night I saw that I had a chance to park inside his 2nd spot and did so.
He came back in and said, “parked kind of close, didn’t you?” I said, “I’m between the lines.” He started to say something then realized he didn’t have a decent reply and walked away. He still took up 2 spaces after that but did so in the far side of the parking lot. He has not parked by the fence/gate since.
I can’t see why that went viral video. Not worth watching actually. Did I miss something?
