Jeep Driver Teaches a Multi-Space Parker a Lesson



Taking up two parking spots with your car has its benefits...and its potential consequences.

That is pretty funny, but too much effort.

 

Love it.

 

It would be 'relatively' funny to watch except the title states PARODY. The goober does videos like this all the time. He's got a video where he slashes a jeep's tire.......yet you're forwarding views to his channel. Is that what we want for the community?

 

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of pictures of people zip-tying grocery carts to the door handles of these multi-space parkers' cars. I'd love to witness the moment when one of these a**hole parkers returns to their car and discovers the big cage on wheels attached....and only to find that they do not have any convenient way to cut the zip ties.

 

I'm a rather big dude but I have gotten out of my doors on parking spaces that tight. Basically if there is about 6" past the tire it isn't that hard to get out the door.

The zip tie idea however is pretty great.

 

I tend to stay as far away from people like that as possible. They have already qualified as an A-hole. Natural selection will do the rest.

 

Over 15 years of daily driving I did have to climb in through the open top of my Miata more than once due to people parking way, way too close. And it's not like a Miata really takes up a lot of parking lot space. You have to try pretty hard to park so close that you can't get in the driver's door.

Now the Jeep takes up a lot more space but half the time it has no doors on it to begin with so nobody's going to door-ding it and I don't have much trouble getting in and out.

The problem around here is rarely some rude driver who intentionally parks across the line. It's way more often a suburbanite who uses a gigantic truck or SUV to grab a bag of groceries and parks way over the passenger side line because that's the only way they can fit in the space and leave themselves enough room to get out of the driver's side. The solution to this is either smaller cars or bigger parking spaces. I know which way I'd vote but I doubt most Jeep owners would agree with me. JKs with tires sticking way out are just as bad as the oversized trucks and SUVs.
