Douchecanoes, is that sort of like douche-kayaks?
Oh, I get it, douche + volcanoes!
I used to work with a guy (good driver/parker, but bad temper) who kept a baseball bat in his car to deal with the cars of people who parked so closely he had to use his hatch.
Of course the Benz owner could have parked flush in a single spot. The D-bag routine is because these ātypesā of drivers will intentionally block 2 or even diagonally across 4 parking spaces because they donāt want any other peon close enough to their vehicle to cause a door ding etc.
The truck did the right thing. What is missing is a 2nd truck parked equally as close on the other side - itās a nice public & overt āF-you!ā to the selfish parker.
FIrst, Never black out the license plate of a duchebag. Second you park as close to the door as possible inches so its impossible to get in on that sideā¦ Then you point your dashcam at the car so if they do something to yours they are on tape and you can have them charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
I donāt see how the benz straddling the line could have possibly been the result of someone else taking up two spaces. If someone was occupying the other half of the spot the benz is currently taking half of, the benz could have parked in the curb spot.
The truck, however, could have parked closer to the driverās side of the benz. If the asshole can still get in his car, youāre doing it wrong.
Sometimes, in places like Calgary, this happens when thereās a dusting of snow overnight, and people start parking early in the morning before the snow melts and they canāt see the lines. The end stall will stay partially empty until the eventual truck driver just parks on the curb.
While I am offended by idiots who park like the driver of the Benz, Iām pretty sure that calling 911 about a parking violation would cause me far more trouble than the offending driver.
So, Benz driver comes back, gets annoyed that he canāt get in on the driverās side, enters via passenger side, andāon the way out of the parking lotācalls whichever towing company is undoubtedly listed prominently on a sign in the parking lot to deter non-customer parking about a truck illegally parked. If the towing company bothers to call anybody at building to which the parking lot is attached (spoiler: towing companies donāt bother with niceties like that), that person looks out the window and sees a pickup truck apparently parked by Rob Ford halfway up on the grass. āYup, looks like an illegal parking job to me.ā
Benz driver is inconvenienced by having to climb in through the passenger side; truck driver has to call a friend to drive him to the impound lot and pay $150 to liberate his truck.
