jamesqI get to work this morning to discover that five different people have double parked in our already at-maximum-capacity reserved lot. There were no spots to be had.
Now when we have courses, we're allowed to park on the street with a special permit. I go to fetch one of these, take it back to my car in time to see someone leaving the lot, so at least I got a spot.
But seriously people, how difficult is it to park without seeing the lines? You should know how close to park to a neighboring vehicle (hint, you should be able to open the door and get out comfortably, but you probably shouldn't be able to open the door all the way). If someone is parked in spot "A" and someone is parked in spot "D", you shouldn't be parking half on "B" and half on "C", that's just ignorant. That five different people did this indicates that there was a special on retard pancakes this morning.

Except, by being a douche he was endangering his car more. Really, doesn't it make you want to key the car instead (or stick a I Park Like an Idiot sticker on it). We probably wouldn't do it, but not everyone's as generous as we are.
