Why? My truck is a long bed crew cab. It doesn't fit in most parking spots. I get it. I park out in the back 40 to avoid people and also so I don't get door dings. But when people do this I feel the itch to slap a couple of 4 oz tape weights to each of their wheels in random places so they get to feel the discomfort of being an idiot.

Not sure how to embed the video but here it is.

Fyi I removed
review/381716326/9cfe28b75c from your link and clicked on the video in there and pasted the link. Since I'm obviously not you and not signed it I'm sure that's why the link I posted worked.

I totally get your frustration. I purposely park way out back away from idiots and to avoid getting door dings. Invariably I’ll come out to some clueless fucking idiot parked like that or right next to me!

I expected to see a bunch of carts circling you in or a note for taking two many spaces or...

What I see is somebody who also is trying to keep their car away from knuckleheads and felt a kinship to you and where you parked. I see a brotherhood of people who are banding together to keep each other safe from the real idiots ...

Or not.

I feel your pain I do the same thing and the idiots still somehow are next to or in front of me with not another car within ten spots.

I agree that he likely was trying to protect his car as well and thought he wasn't encroaching since he parked in front of you. That said, I park my truck in the boonies to avoid assclowns too and this shit pisses me off also....

I park as far away as possible in the back 40 with the dually because it is big. No other reason it's just a big pig.
I come out and am surrounded.

Lolz..
How does the posi-traction on the rear end of a Plymouth work? It just does.. :D

If you want to get back at the stupid people on this Earth, it isn't going to happen. Nor can it be explained.

We rub it in their faces and pollute their minds with the greed.

Take up the full 2 spaces.

They want you to jack their car up for insurance and took pictures before they left it parked there. Pretty common practice with some shit headed people.

You can’t fix stupid. Go find a stray cat hold his ass over the cowl air intake and give him a little friendly squeeze so he pisses down the intake vent.

Think about it, that BMW is doing the same as the truck. Eliminate possibility of dings by eliminating where others can park around you. And,usually, nice car next to nice car is safer than the alternative.

This very shit happens to me either in the 2500 or excursion. What really pisses me off is when they make me squeeze to get in. I'm ordering those weights

I always let the rear hang over the line, not the front. If they do bump you, they hit the hitch and not my front bumper. Then I don't mind if someone squeezes in behind me.

On time I was at the DMV at the end of an isle. My space had the little triangle in front of it (no parking). As I'm walking in I see some dude riding a mint green scooter. I shook my head.

When I went to leave, I was going to pull through. I put the truck in drive and somehow I saw a reflection of mint green in a chrome bumper on another car. I backed up instead. The dude had parked his scooter in the triangle, almost against my bumper, of a lifted truck on 37's. Thank God I happened to notice that reflection. It would have ruined my day.

BMW guy is an idiot for parking with his nose out so far in the driving lane. He's never even thought about who is parked straight across the driving lane from his front bumper.
I will never park behind a long truck like yours in a parking lot because I know your turning radius is slightly shorter than a football field
All it takes is for a long truck to have to back out of parking spot, with front wheels at full lock ....and the driver to not notice the BMW dumbass with his front bumper 6 feet into the driving lane.....and crunch.

At least he didn't park right next to you. I hate when I park way out and some guy parks right next to me.

I drop my wife off at the front door at Smith’s Grocery in LHC. Parking lot is a zoo. I proceed to the back wall, back in and wife calls me when she’s done. Looked around, there were 2 other new Suburbans and 1 Escalade with guys doing the same thing.
