Be thankful it's not dog shit š¤·

Is that what that means? Someone left a green bag of dog poop on my car a few weeks ago, and I had a feeling it was because they didn't like the way I parked. Which for starters I can't figure out why. I was parked normally on the street like everyone else. Maybe I parked in someone's saved spot or something.

This is how I was parked if it makes you feel any better. I drive a compact so there was plenty of room to go around me, park behind me, etc. Someone probably wanted your spot.

Yeah I don't know what that person was thinking. This looks perfectly acceptable to me.

Even if I am not close enough to the curb, like you said I donāt think itās that big of a dealā¦

You said you were an inch away from the curb, that aināt an inch! Lol jk, but seriously though on a side street you need to be closer to the curb
forgottentaco420 OP t1_jcyirp2 wrote
Itās not the middle of the street like a dickhead either! Iām scared of getting too close because I said it in another comment, my neighbors tires got slashed for parking too close to the curb and got a note too. Also I park in this spot 99% of the time, so I think someone just wants the spot.

Youāre right and I was giving you shit. Lol. Itās tough, youāre damned if you do and youāll get called a ā stupid fucking dickheadā if you donāt. Lol. God I miss being home

Looks like you might be too close to the intersection. If youāre too close there isnāt enough room for people to make the turn

There was an entire spot open behind me, and someone had parked there last night after me.

I can see it.

It's tough to tell from this angle, but I'm guessing that bollard is the further back you can legally be parked. Anything behind it will obstruct turning radiuses and sight lines. If your tail end is too close you're parked illegally, even if there's enough clearance for a car to fit behind you and not be int the intersection itself.

My car is a super tiny compact, so my car ends before the pole. But people park up against that corner all the time, including big ass trucks. I donāt because I donāt want to get hit.
Indiana_Jawns t1_jcysdgb wrote
Fair enough, I'm reacting based on past experience with people who think because they aren't a full foot into the street they're parked legally. It's especially common in Fishtown and Port Richmond.
forgottentaco420 OP t1_jcysvq0 wrote
Oh trust me, Iād never š I see it all the time, people who do that must have enough money to not give a shit about their car. I do not, lol!

Straighten the wheel outā¦ your car could quickly get all sorts of damage if they make contact with your wheel as itās angled out. We have a couple compact cars where I live and they tend to be the worst offenders of parking to ensure thereās room for everyone. Tbf, the worst offenders tend to have license plates from NJ

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you left too much space in front, between the other car. But I've never heard of people getting upset about that here in Philly, and you said someone fit behind you. But that is something people get upset about in places with terrible parking, as if you leave too much space then not as many cars can fit on the block. So it could be that, and the person who left the note has a long car.
Not accusing you or anything, just theorizing here
forgottentaco420 OP t1_jczexjn wrote
Unless the person who I parked behind pulled out, which is totally possible, I parked right behind them. But that would totally make sense because it was a large car I parked behind, if a smaller car pulled in it probably looked goofy. When I went out this morning to leave for work my car was the only one left on the block so Iāll never know!!
_jeremybearimy_ t1_jczf7up wrote
Ohh ok yah this is my guess then - people left and it resulted in you looking like you just chose a random ass spot on the block. Doesn't really justify the note but hey, notes are a good way for people to get some anger out of their system LOL
forgottentaco420 OP t1_jczfecj wrote
If thatās the case the note is now 100 times funnier to me.
