haha oh man!! Somebody do something he borke the rules and posted about parking where he shouldn't, we should definately just kick him off the webiste, hahahahah, give a break. Living in NY makes you deal with parking all the time specially when one way street get blocked an filled with traffic cuz this one person cant parallel and keep on pulling out to start over.
I was in front of my shop once and witness a woman in her late 20's early 30's parallel parking like an '02 saturn into this kinda tight spot , but definately do-able. She was trying to get into this spot for about 20 minutes, finally i walked over and asked her if she would like me to do it for her, and without hesitation she agreed. what she had spent 20 min tryin to do i did in 30 sec. i was a little shocked by the event.
Being late for school the other day i saw a spot that no one else was willing to take, they would slow down but then keep on going i look at it and said i can fit in there. (so thankful for the size of S13's coupes). There was a brand new chevy avalanche behind me and in front was a KIA suv with the spare on the back gate. Had about 6-7 inch between the KIA and i, and just got as close as i could to the chevy, who had room in the back to back up. i felt really bad about parking so close, i was probably about half a cm away from the chevy, so i left the person a note apoligizing for parking so close and telling her that i was very careful and didn't touch the chevy, which was true. By the time i was gonna leave the truck was still there so i took the note and left.
I worked valet at a catering hall, which has it's own lot for all the guest, from time to time you would have people just coming in to plan their future party and they would take up two spaces as shown above. So what we did was we would take cars of the guest from the party leaving last (1-2AM) and park two of them right next to the car on both sides so that they can't get in without moving the other two cars. And usually they'd come and ask for the cars to be moved while we're busy gettin other cars so we can't really help them at once. it was great. but nothing beats having someon block your driveway and then comes back to find their car has been towed. you should see the look on their faces.
