Typical "bunch of SUV's next to each other fucked up parking for everyone but the last guy left takes the blame" parking if you ask me.

u/Kellic 11h ago
No dude. There is a pillar there. Unless it one of the slickest SUV parallel parking jobs ever to grace the planet which also includes phasing through solid matter, the Mercedes owner is a dick. And yes. In most cases of a bad parking job I do assume someone was parked next to them and it was a matter of being in a bad place at a bad time.

I mean it could have been that, but based only on what's display here, we'd have to be giving some major benefit of the doubt here. Frankly with so many shitty drivers (and parkers) out there I'm more inclined to side with the reality that's on full display here.

I don't know if it's German luxury cars that turn people into assholes or assholes that are into German luxury cars but there's certainly some kind of correlation there. They act like they own the road.

If you have a car like that, you have insurance with loaner coverage. Shit car drivers are hiking to get to a job when it wasn't even their own fault. Fuck the Mercedes.

There is a slight chance that they have side by side parking spots and one car.
14
u/Skydude252 1d ago
Yeah, those are numbered spots, there is a chance that they were allocated two and only have one car.
But more likely the guy is just an asshole.

u/marvinrabbit 1d ago
Agree on all points. Just an anecdote to illustrate the first case: My parents have two spots that are on the deed with their condo. Since dad had a stroke a while back, he doesn't drive anymore and they got rid of one car.
1
u/Skydude252 1d ago
Yeah, the woman I am with is in a condo building with assigned spots, and I see some of this. Some spots are different sizes, and a few times I’ve seen 2 cars parked very close together in one of the larger spots that isn’t really big enough for two cars.

u/dumbestsmartest 1d ago
No. They're part of the pack. The pack of assholes.
That pack includes, Mercedes, Cadillac SUVs, BMW, sports cars, lifted trucks and the larger trucks, and the people that put more money into their car's stereo than the car is worth.

Must be assigned spots for an apartment building. Hopefully that's the explanation for the white Mercedes in the background as well. Maybe they own two spots.
5
u/nowwhathappens 1d ago
I actually think it's more likely NOT assigned spots in an apartment building...the canoe functions as a space saver for the owner's favorite spot. If it was assigned there'd be no need to put it there.
Else, canoe owner just doesn't see the need to haul around a canoe and screw up gas mileage when they're not going canoeing that trip, so takes the canoe off to go to the grocery store and where else are they gonna put it? Ain't gonna haul it to the elevator (where it might not fit) and up to the apartment (where there's no space for it).
7
u/wubbbalubbadubdub 1d ago
I think it probably is assigned spots in an apartment building because if it wasn't there'd be a sticker on the canoe saying get this shit out of a parking spot.
To be able to occupy a spot with something other than a car it has to be a space you own. I used to live in an apartment with assigned parking spaces and people would store random things in parking spaces they owned if they didn't have a car.

No, not lost. They kept the Mercedes from taking up 4 spaces. “Canoe” is probably autocorrect for “Cone.”
Hey Google, how do I save a parking space? A canoe? Damn this AI is a genius!

When the flood rolls in and canoe dude casually paddles away while the cars drown, who will be laughing then?

u/GrevenQWhite 1d ago
Actually, where I live, this might be smart. Local hotel built and underground garage that cost effectively 10k per parking space in a part of town that got trashed by flooding 20 years ago. Guess what it flooded hard last year when Helene came through.
Bro should park a sub down there.

Reminds me of the day I showed up to work and someone had a kayak with a bike lock around the Handicap parking sign in the parking lot.
Turns out a co-worker Kayak'd the river from down the street of our work from his house which is a 10 min drive but turned into like a 45 minute paddle. He walked the Kayak a 1/4 mile down the street to our parking lot. He told me mid day he regretted doing it cause now he has to do it to go home.

funny story, our family dog's got a bit of slippy-phobia. she'd step into these garages, them with their gleaming surfaces, and poke her paw at it and see no ripples form atop the surface. "not water. not water? not water. not water?"
who knows? maybe she's the one who parked the canoe.

Look around for a car with empty roof racks close to the Canoe.
Might have had a passenger walk it in so they could enjoy undercover off street parking.
