the iparklikeanidiot.com site sells “I PARK LIKE AN IDIOT” bumper stickers. good for the parking enforcement vigilante in all of us.

Karen, sounds like you’ve got it pegged, but there may have been a structure renumbering since you were there because I believe the office building I was in was called either LA1 or LA7.

Building R9, by any chance? Looks just like the parking structure at my old job, and there was a lot of that going on.

Ok… I have no idea what “trouble” the author could possibly be in for exposure a parking ‘tard. Not liable or slander…no false accusation there, it is what is….bad parking. Seen worse litigated and lost. And prior to the failing of text america I had hundreds over of these tards blogged with full plates and guess what no ramifications at all. Let’s not even go into the ‘tards who parked in handicapped spaces and shouldn’t have that I sent to the DMV. Urban Guerilla Warfare is never pretty.

Pinky the way I remember it is that on any given level of this structure, the inside spaces on one side are designated for compacts, but the outside are all full sized so it seems there’s pretty much a 50-50 split.

not to be the devil’s advocate, or anything…(I ride a motorcycle myself) but is that one of those garages where there is a disproportionate amount (esp. considering how much Angelenos love their oversized vehicles) of compact spaces? I think some newer garages squeeze ‘em in as tiny as possible because the city requires they have a certain # of spaces for the building, and rather than build a big enough garage, they just cheat and make a bunch of tiny spaces. Right? City nerd?

Every time I see crap like this, I resist the temptation to key their car. If your car is so big or so precious that you can’t park it in a normal L.A. parking space, maybe that’s a sign that you shouldn’t be driving that car in L.A.

Just a thought.

#1: The top car is still parked in a place clearly marked for SMALL cars.
#2: The second car is next to a pillar, so there’s no excuse for taking up two spots whatsover.

So excusing the bad parking on previous bad parking is moot in all but the last photo.

A fine point DB and very true in regards to the other cars, but it still takes quite the pair of ballbearings to rationalize parking that way. Me, I woulda moved on up the line until I found a legit space I could fit in… which is just what I did.

If there are no consequences for these parking tards, they’re just going to keep doing it. And not just in that structure…
