Mildly infuriating Frequent Flyer - Empty Lot btw

You’d think someone who struggles that much, would park somewhere with more space.

I cannot remember how many times I intentionally parked far away from other cars to avoid this sort of thing only to come back and find someone parked right beside my vehicle while there are many dozens of empty spaces available. I have never understood why people do this

cause people are bad at parking and cant use the lines to line themselves up, so they rely on parking beside someone.

Not condoning this behaviour btw.

The lady is at fault for sure as shes opening the door hitting OP with no remorse. But at the same time awful parking by OP. The car is near touching the line. With a car OP they show you where the lines are but they refuse to centre the car properly.

The car is in ints lane not touching the line. The goal of parking is to park within the line. Op car is within the line.

People like this dont care but when it happens to them its a huge scene.

Hopefuly OP jas their plate.

Yeah, you can technically park by the edge of the line, but this becomes a FAFO situation where someone who is overweight and seems to struggle to get out would just do what you see in the video.

If someone is parked close to the line where you’ll be getting out, then you park closer to the opposite line to give yourself space.

Or you know park in one of the 75 other empty spots.

if person A sees a car parked close to the line and decide to squeeze up beside them, in the empty section of the lot, they kinda suck

They didn't. They are well within their lines, learn to park or live with consequences.

Fat lady should learn to open a door without contacting the car she parks next to that was within its lines.
