This story starts with the sentence: "People who think parking is only for them," and that's just one of those sentences that can get every adult immediately worked up. Life isn't regularly the most peaceful experience, but there's just something about being in a car that gets the rage going quicker. And when you're in a car, and you're just lucky enough to meet one of those folks who treat parking spot lines like they're suggestions and leave the rest of us to play Tetris around their vehicle, it's like a perfect storm.

Saturday at the mall is already minor-league purgatory. Add in a car parked smack in the middle of the driving lane, like someone decided straight lines are for losers, and it starts to feel like a test sent straight from the universe. Not only is the row blocked, but someone in a small car is now locked in place, collateral damage in a parking lot melodrama.

  • I am trying to drive down a row of parking spots at a busy mall parking lot on a Saturday afternoon close to Christ I see a car parked so badly it's the middle of the row.

  • You see the chaos, the forced reroutes, the full-on reverse-maneuver ballet required just so everyone else can escape. People get out, sigh, shake their heads, toss a note on the windshield for good measure. Security hardly bats an eye. A tow truck is already on speed dial. It is pure, high-octane entitlement, the kind that comes with a bill and a lot of honking.

  • I was so confused I had to back out because there was no room to go down.

  • I park and walk over there and they apparently double parked. There was a small car parked in the parking spot and they parked behind them both blocking them in and blocking the whole row.

  • It was funny someone put a note on their windshield basically calling them a jackass for blocking the whole row of cars.

  • I let the security for the mall know and they said they had a tow truck coming and they towed it.

  • I just wish I understood people's mentality sometimes. It was bizarre and such weirdly entitled behavior.

  • Why in the hell would someone block a whole row of traffic AND block some poor car in?

  • Getting towed is expensive and humiliating. But honestly, seeing that car dragged away feels less like schadenfreude and more like justice. Sometimes the parking gods deliver, and sometimes they just serve up a reminder of how fast chaos shows up when one person decides the rules don’t apply to them.

  • I know they are going to be PISSED when they come out. I hate when people get towed but being an asshole can be expensive.

  • SuperDouble Decker Some people are pieces of shit. The main reason why I hate driving. Then there's a bunch of dummies that are just oblivious that other people exist. They combine to ruin things for all the decent folks.
