Professional. But the jeep is going to need to remove that tire to exit. 🤣

It took me 15 mins to extract my car from it’s spot the other day due to a narrow street with bollards on both sides surrounded by close parkers.

No lie I got out of my car 3 times to check to make sure I wasn’t going to scrape the car in front of me. I swear it should be an Olympic event at this point lol.

Other day I walked past my car and someone had parked their POS not only touching mine but physically pushing my bumper in. On what fucking planet is that acceptable. I get that theres going to be a bit of contact every once in a while in tight spaces but that's just next level selfish behavior

This is just impressive at this point. I'm not even sure I'm mad anymore.

I would be mad if I owned that Nissan. That’s really wild

Impressive but only if completed sans front-facing camera. Otherwise it's cheating.

Also, if you're gonna park like that, you've gotta be comfortable with the fact that there's gonna be some contact when the Jeep goes to leave. Just cause you're the Criss Angel Mindfreak of parking doesn't mean everyone else is going to hold themselves to the same standard.

Came out to my car once to go somewhere, just for it to be this close on both sides. Just said nope, not today! Luckily wasn't going anywhere important

Never realized that the jeep spare tire actually doubles as a bumper protector.

Oh I’m sure there were some love taps. My car is already “citified” enough with various dents and scrapes from street parking. I was trying not to tear off my front bumper because I wouldn’t be able to get away with not getting that repaired.

For all the disagreements I have with the Redditors in this sub, I see a post like this and I smile the rest of the day.

My mother, known for her terse comments, would see someone park like this and would say, "Talent wasted."

I still don't know exactly what she meant, but this post made me think of that.

Thank you.

This got me thinking. I regularly park with about 12-18 inches between me and the car in front of me (or just far enough for someone to squeeze between the two cars). The idea being to hopefully maximize parking space, maybe fit an extra car in there. I always get mad when I see cars parked with like 5 feet between them when I'm parking, because down a single block you're probably losing 3-4 spots.

But is this a dick move? I often have to shimmy out, going back, forward, back forward, back, out. It doesn't bother me as much as parking blocks away, but maybe other people think it's a dick move.

Then I would be mad as the jeep owner. I have a neighbor that does this and it’s inconsiderate to other people’s car. If I think a spot is too tight I’d rather walk a block then try to squeeze in to a spot. Can’t stand people who bang ppls shit up just to save a 1 minute walk from the crib

You're doing it right. We live in a city with parallel parking, it's much harder to get into a tight spot than it is to get out of a tight spot, but it's a curse on the whole block when multiple people leave 3 feet between their cars and effectively erase two otherwise viable spots as a result.

It's not coincidence that those things on the front and back of our vehicles are called bumpers.

Yet.

When that 300pounds dude with wife, children, dogs and groceries all get in that car, it will touch!

Maybe.

I feel you on that. I live in the NE and my partner lives in south Philly and I drive down to her place just to pick her up so I don’t have to park overnight on her street. After 5pm, parking is a nightmare in south Philly. And if you do find a spot, you come out in the morning with a new dent, scratch, or your bumper is just hanging off… Honestly, parking is the main reason why I would never consider living in any other neighborhood in the city unless the house I bought had a garage or an assigned parking spot. (Yes I do commute via septa often to center city from the NE)

Someone is the problem in this pic! The blame could go either way depending on who parked last! Hahaha if I ever park close it’s because the other person has a significant gap behind/in front of them. Then it’s justifiable
