Karma is a BEE-YOTCH when you're an selfish asshole driver
So last night I left work late and driving home. I get to my house and there is a car parked in front of it that was clearly taking up 2 parking spaces (I live in the city - it's all street parking). I knew the car behind it was there when I left (I had parked right in front of it and the person that owns it rarely drives it) and this driver parked their brand new car (had a temp license on the back) in a way that it took up two spaces along the curb. I tried to squeeze into one of the spaces but it was way too tight. And when I woke up the next morning the car was still there hogging up two spaces.

All tha driver had to do was back up or move forward about 3-4 feet and a 2nd small car might have easily fit in there. Instead the driver, I guess because they had a new car, decided to be a selfish bastard and park in a way that no other driver could fit in there.

I leave for work this morning (trying to remember where I parked - it was around the corner) and I looked at this car still parked in front of my house - the sideview mirror had be wiped out. I heard a small crash around midnight and thought it was my cats knocking a pan off the counter. Turns out someone hit that car last night.

Selfish bastard thought he/she was being smart parking their car in away that no one else could park close it it along the street.

:rofl:

And to think if my car was there that might have been me - although my car is not as wide as this one.

1. I used to sabotage such cars.
I'd carry extra ketchup packets, and squirt ketchup under the door handle of cars taking up two parking spaces.

Not advocating such actions, just mentioning an historical detail.

4. Maybe not for someone else.
One person's karma is another person's revenge.

3. If it has flat enough roof, or better yet - a sunroof...
pour some bird seed on the roof and let the pigeons take care of "redecorating" it.

5. judging by their parking skills they weren't using it so they probably won't miss it.
I bet that person takes it back to the dealer and whines that the mirror is "defective".

:dunce:

6. It was a new car but I don't think brand new
It looked a high end sedan but not the most recent model year. Probably one of those certified pre-own cars.
