A woman living in my building cannot seem to park straight to save her life. She’s always parked at a 10\*-35\* angle and parks so damn close 80% of the time that you’re forced to hit her door trying to get into your car. To make matters worse, she’s got all kinds of damage on the car from what appears to be caused from parking spots. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before mine or one of my neighbors cars gets hit. I tried saying something about it this morning and got ignored. :banghead: what would you do short of beating her with a tire iron? It’s really starting to get old. The ONLY way that it doesn’t happen is if you get the “good” spot (a single space… no cars can park on either side) but that’s not an easy one to get. ---

I used to have these Mickey Mouse parking “tickets” for parking so close, with a picture of Mickey Mouse giving the finger and a message that read “Next time why don’t you leave a can opener, you selfish prick!”. Had a stack of them, let me see if I can find a jpeg and just print them out. ---

Park as far away from her as possible? If she’s within the lines you can’t really do much other than talk to her. ---

image isn’t working :\ didn’t someone make bumperstickers for shitty drivers/parkers? Can you get in any kind of trouble for doing something like that though? I wonder if the main office would take the complaint seriously if I ratted her out (she’s a strange one… I don’t think her name is really on the lease. She’s NOT one of the couple that originally moved in, but her car is from the same state. She doesn’t appear to work either… something isn’t right there) ---

Wheel dollies. Or if it’s a piece of shit with loose suspension just get a few friends to rock it and it’ll move over with enough force. ---

My apartment complex in VA has terrible parkers, and always have constant incidents with people hitting other cars and driving away (this is gated community too btw) I found a nice section at the opposite end of my apartment where there are no cars, I just park there each night. Sure it’s a little walk but well worth it knowing my car is safe from idiots. ---

Find someone with a POS truck or something and park right next to her - maybe one on each side will work. ---

Take one of her valve-stem caps off and jam a small stone in it. Screw it back on until it slowly leaks air from the tire. It’s not going to stop her from parking like a moron, but it will make her cry when she has a flat tire that won’t go away, lol. ---
