do you enjoy a good paraLLeL parking job?

[sniffa]

i sure do. many a time, i'LL stop what i'm doing to watch someone paraLLeL park.

if they're a bad parker, i become consumed with rage; especiaLLy, if they're one of those puLL in forward kind of parkers.

[StopTheMorans]

1. i fucking hate those pull in forward parkers

and how about the fuckers who take up a half a spot so that another car can't park in front of them? :grr:

[Zuni]

5. I like to ram the bumpers of asshole parkers on purpose

when I park behind them, just to let them know they are dicks

[StopTheMorans]

12. that is the perfect answer to the problem

:thumbsup:

[Mutley]

2. I love it when i do a good job parallel parking

And I'll stand there for a few seconds admiring my lovely park job.

[sniffa]

9. oh, same here

i Love it when you get it one shot - no straightening out. those are the fucking best!!

[Mutley]

15. Yeah!

And you're about two inches from the curb and the spaces in front and behind are perfectly even. ahhhhh.

[Zuni]

3. I am an excellent parallel parker

nothing teaches you faster than city living.

[Mutley]

7. Do you live in BMore?

I do! I do!

[Zuni]

20. I live in Annapolis

I used to live in Baltimore at one time. Love the town

[Mutley]

21. YAY!

Hi there fellow Marylander!!! :hi:

[Zuni]

23. Hey there! We rule!

:hi:

[flvegan]

Thankfully for me,

now, if I were to see one of those pull in forward bad parkers, I can claim that I felt threatened and shoot them (Florida).

4. pull in forward doesn't work!

I love watching them - then they start getting self concious with me standing there...
one time they were so embarrassed, they drove off!!


PS - I aim for parallel parking without having to pull back forward at all. That is the true mark of an excellent job.

[Zuni]

10. it only works if you have several spaces open

I'll do it if there is a 3 car length hole

[kick-ass-bob]

13. well, yeah. that's a given.

I like watching them try on a single space.
:rofl:

Then they can't figure out why they can't park well!

[Dhalgren]

6. Yes, yes I do.

[flamingyouth]

8. I actually do

I'm proud of my own skills and I appreciate someone else's good parking job.

I've had lots of practice. :D

[chickenscratching]

11. this one time

this guy and i had a standoff on the curb because he was forward pull in parker

[DS1]

14. Depends if there's an oral exam afterwards

:D

[kick-ass-bob]

17. d'oh!

:rofl:

[bleedingheart]

16. I am the QUEEN of Parallel Parking!!!!

I swear one of the reasons my future husband fell in love with me was because I am so good at it... ;-)

I had to learn to parallel park in a city where people are unforgiving if you can't do it quickly.

So once when he was with me I parked on a steep hill in record time and I was just 1 inch from the curb...it was a thing of beauty!!!

recently I saw a coworker trying to park his car...and it was pathetic...and he knew it....took him forever ..I wanted to just tell him to get out and let me park it...

[-..__...]

18. Learn to do it while pulling a trailer.

then you can have bragging rights. B-)

[bleedingheart]

19. how big is the trailer?

I think we have a challenge...

;-)

[auntAgonist]

22. I used to be a truck driver then ..

a truck driver trainer. Part of the training program was to be able to parallel park a 48 foot trailer. (53' trailers weren't common yet).
I was very good at it! Should have seen the looks on students' faces when they watched.

:hi:

I never drive my car into parking spots either, I always back in.

[Ivan Sputnik]

24. I love it

when I can do it in one try without having to do any back-and-forth straightening afterward -- hard to do when there's a line of cars behind you waiting to get by. It's especially impressive when you can get into a space that's not much bigger than the car. I've had plenty of practice -- even in Hoboken, NJ, which has to be the toughest parking city on the planet.

[miss_kitty]

25. Yes I live on a hill and it is fun to see someone pull up & park on one go

It is also fun to watch people try and try and try, then leave.
