I have to park in a parking garage at my work. It has it’s benefits like being covered when it’s raining and your car being cooler in the Summer time. Wanna know what I hate the most about parking garages? (You’re about to find out so you might as well say yes.) I hate when I’m driving around looking for a spot, and then I see one so I get excited, until I go to pull in and there’s a damn compact car already in the spot. I couldn’t see it because the driver pulled all the way up to the front of the parking spot. Who does that? How much of an inconsiderate jerk do you have to be? There should be a rule that all cars must align with the back of the parking spot so that I don’t get excited for no reason. It’s just the right thing to do and everybody knows that.
If someone didn’t park in the back of the spot that should get something put behind their car to prevent them from getting out. In order to get whatever that would be moved, they would have to apologize over a loud speaker that you could hear all over the garage AND give out their license plate number for others to retaliate if they so choose. If you embarrass them enough times and their car gets keyed a couple of times, they’ll probably quit doing it. I know this may sound a bit extreme, but when I’m running late for work, the last think I need is false hope that I’m actually going to find a spot on the lower levels and be on time (which is rare enough already).
