Oh noes... I have a few pics. My silver '91 Justy used to be the star of a website called JustyJustice but my friend took it down. It was basically my Justys (Justies? Justi? I dunno) parked all over SF in ridiculously tight spaces, basically the leftovers from bad parking. With a Justy, you can park "badly" and still stay in one spot (I have a pic somewhere).

LOL I guess it's on FB now (but I don't have an account). https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justy...46301472056216

Found the pic, nasty zoomed mobile pic from an office.. But still!

^ that's not bad parking! They are both pushing the non-occupied edges in order to create more space between each other.

Bad parking is when you prevent someone else parking in an adjacent space because you are overlapping so badly.

The Justy is mine, I parked it like that on purpose - I just posted the photo to back up my comment that you can park a Justy "badly" and still say inside the lines!

I see what you are saying, but even when I am driving my Mondo Beefcake Barge I never have a problem staying inside the lines. I don't see why people can't just stick the car in the spot. I can't imagine any other reason than just being really bad at operating a car, combined with not caring how you affect others. There are certainly extenuating circumstances when there is a problem with a parking spot, but in most cases, there is no reason to park like a douche.

There's a guy that works at our datacenter and often parks sideways across a few spots. There are never very many cars in the lot, but still, it just seems douchey. I guess I don't get it.

There is no other reason. People suck.

You don't "get it" because you're not a huge douche.

That really not bad. They just don't want anyone to park by them and it's not like they are taking up another spot. Also Santa Rosa plaza has a lot of spots you can do this. Excessive yes but awful parking not really.
