Sometimes you just wonder why..

Yes I had my valid permit displayed VW, but regardless why would anyone choose to park in this manner right next to the only other car in the lot.

Didn't realize it was your VW

As to why--some people have the mentality that they are "teachers" and want to "teach a lesson"---obviously not this situation, and not the proper way.

Only other guess I could make--did they have a "urgent toilet" need? Been there---done that

 

[redbaron]

First, we are talking about someone we know here; @Joe Goodxrvn, and I doubt that he would not have the proper tag displayed. Second, there is no valid excuse for parking in a cross-hatched access area.

Second-guessing this situation is “out of bounds” in my book.

Seriously?? I was just looking for reasons why they would do that. NOT justifying their actions--just having a discussion..you know those actually can exist right? Debates don't have to be argumentative and reasonable people can discuss opposing opinions, no matter who they are, or what the situation is.

Of course, all parties have to be reasonable.

Sadly, yes, there are people that will say that.

Neal to your point regarding security, the car in this position would make a nice screen for a carjacking.

Absolutely and it would cause you, in your situation, to take a predefined path to get into your car. A definite huge red flag situation. Worth going back in and asking for security.

I would suspect, that it being Florida, with a great deal of elderly drivers and the age and brand of the car, that this is not only how they park, but how they drive. My folks as they aged, especially my mother became terrible drivers. It's hard to drive well when you can barely see over the steering wheel and dash board.

At the Costco where we normally shop there is a row of maybe 20 designated handicap spaces and they are ALWAYS full. Interesting how spry many of the people are existing & entering their vehicles.
Now I know, you can’t judge a handicap person just by observation. Totally understand that. I bring it up because illegal handicap parking is rampant , at least in the area where we live and it is so unfair to those that truly need it (I’m not one thank God). Sure wish those that use the system illegally would get their just due.

I also note that they are in a designated pedestrian cross walk. Idiots.

The other day I went to the market. It was an off tome to avoid crowds. The lot as expected was almost empty.
Returning to my vehicle I found someone else had come to market. Not sure what they were thinking when they parked next to the only car in the lot.View attachment 8746

That is weird!

We thought Chicago driver's were rude until we became Florida residents. In our experience the Florida drivers under 40 years old are the worse at parking and driving.

Yes, and when I left the Midwest for Florida my car insurance rate went up, due to higher risk in Fl.

FL is not a safe state for vehicles.

 

[Joe Dutchstar]

In Florida approximately 20% of drivers are uninsured. Unfortunately that effects your and my insurance rates.

 

[Old Bubblehead]

but they self identify as insured folks

Joe, Is that in St. Augustine?
I ask, because there was an old "Caddy" parked in a similar position at the Publix on A1A & the Beach Rd!
People are plain crazy; especially down here. To me, it's the only real negative living in Florida! These IDIOTS do not know how to drive!!
