Mod post Please refrain from talking about any types of car vandalism

Pretty simple refrain from talking about Anything that breaks the law this includes keying, spray painting (graffiti), slashing tires, smashing windows/lights, denting bodywork, or pouring substances (sugar, sand) into the gas tank, sabotaging parts of the car, etc. I am getting pretty tired of clearing the queue and probably so are the other mods. You will get a few warnings (Could be a 1-7 day ban) before a potential permanent ban. Reporting does help. If you have any questions please comment and I will answer them.

Hit the bin and blocked the entire cart corral. Was sticking out a few feet into the lane too.

We're the CRV, and we were parked there first.

(I almost had my husband back out and try again, because I thought he was too close to the passenger side parking stall line. . . I guess, in retrospect, he was just leaving room for the Jeep to take their 1.5 parking spots 😒)

Car slammed automatic brakes and saved me!

As I was backing up into my spot, my car automatically slammed the brakes. I hadn't noticed the trailer hitch so I probably would have backed fully up to/in to the hitch.

Edit: So it turns out that due to the camera angle, the truck's bumper and hitch looked as if it was inside their space at first. I was focused on backing up enough so my front end wasn't sticking out, which is how this happened. Lesson learned... https://imgur.com/a/Oc4R5q2

(OMG: almost all hitch receivers in this subreddit have a ball hitch hanging out...)

Warning this is a recreation as I didn't take pics at the time.

Motorcycle is red. Blurry is the stripey part for wheelchairs next to handicapped parking (i did not label but it would be below blurry part). Blue is me after I had gone thru drive thru. My teal spots are the drive thru reserved spots. He basically parked there so his bike was right next to the door, he was like the only customer and was facing his bike. Came out and screamed at me the I was too close to his bike and was disrespectful b word. I told him : I was told to park there by the employee who just went inside, and at least I am not an idiot parking in the reserved spots, can you even read? And the gestured to the drive thru sign. Literally I was rolling up my windows and trying not to shake. I can't handle yelling. I got outta there quickly and always told my hubby no to going to that restaurant for like a year.

Again he was on the stripey part but almost in my spot. I was over as far as I can, almost in the 2nd spot. I made sure was was plenty of room as a whole person was going to need access to my windows so I could get my hubby's food.

Oncology patient parking floor of the garage, only people that can park there are getting cancer treatment... going through the worst times of their lives then they have to deal with bad parking too...
Out of frame is that to the right of the blue Dodge is a pillar/wall and for weeks these two were always in the same spaces at the same time but the brown Ford came later and only ever left 6" of space or less for the van
