Parking Job of the Year Award!

[PriusRos]

This afternoon, I came out of Trader Joe's to find this car "parked" next to my Prius. It took me about 15 minutes to try and figure out what to do and, with the help of a friendly stranger, maneuver out of that spot without damaging my car.

With a park job like that I would have called the cops as well as a tow truck to have that car towed at the owners expense.

Likely some jack%$# that wanted to play games and try to block you in because they thought it was funny. Either that or someone left their keys where their 8yr old could reach them.....

I'd have left him a few heavy foot prints in rear door and quarter panel.

Yeah, I did want to call the cops but I didn't know what number to call without calling 911.

I don't think it was anybody that had brains enough to even think that far. I suspect it was someone drunk or high who just saw the space and pulled in, without bothering to straighten up. I'm just glad he/she didn't bang my car.

With a few burly friends you could have just tilted it into the landscaping.

I was going to say the same thing: just roll it over until it's out of the way.

A friend of mine was hit in a parking lot and when he called the police he was told that the police don't have jurisdiction because the parking lot is considered private property. Can anyone confirm this?

Anyway, some form of personal vindication would be nice. Perhaps you can take that picture, put it on a funny poster saying like, "I spent all day painting those lines; please take ten seconds to use them." Then take it into Trader Joe's for posting.

TJ's generally has an in-store PA that they're always calling
fellow employees on. You could have asked to use that to either
have them ask who the numbnuts in the blue Accord was, or do it
yourself with a few choice linguistic embellishments to maximize
public humiliation within the confines of the store.
