Double parking is vain and lame
I arrived at church on Sunday only to find the second to last parking spot double occupied by a similar BMW X5 (not pictured). Heaven forbid mere mortal cars like my ’99 Jeep Cherokee meddle with such fine German engineering in a car park. I only wish I had the guts and lack of a moral compass to do this:

Dude….
That is a huge pet peeve of mine, as well.
If I’m in my blazer (and alone) I usually just park in the spot to the left – leaving about 1 inch between our mirrors. If I park any farther away, I fear I’ll get a ding. Parking this close, they can’t even get to their door, much less open it into mine 😉
Second pet peeve is the large SUV’s and diesel trucks that park similarly. They don’t usually double park, though – they just park on the lines because the driver is not competent enough to park in the middle. That is a definite perk to the gas crisis – less large suv’s around.
Oh I HATE double parkers. Please ram them the next time it happens. I will go in on the repairs if you need me too. It’s worth it!
I do like the fact that you couldn’t find parking at church. Our ward has millions of open spots. Unless we are serving food afterwards and then people come out of the woodworks!
Too funny. I saw this note on the web somewhere, and I couldn’t remember where – so I’m glad to see it again. I have to show this to my wife. Double parking is her number one aggravation.
But I have to ask Chatelain, what happens when they can’t get into their car and you show up to drive away? I’m assuming they’re stuck there waiting for you. lol
But you know what really bugs is the guy who either a) speeds up the “wrong way” in the parking lot to get your spot before you do, or b) gets right up behind you when you’re trying to back out so no one will get “his” spot – requiring you to make a ten point turn just to clear the car next to you!
[…] Oh Harold, you are so spot on! […]

Double space parking is truly one of the most annoying things ever unless its a Lambirghini or a Bugatti (let’s be honest, I want them to take two spots so I can marvel in their glory). 🙂
