    Because if you park too far out, there’ll be an idiot that will hit your car.

    Edit: not excusing their behavior, just providing their reasoning.

      If you park on the lawn there will still be some idiot who finds a way to hit your car.

      That is no excuse to park like an asshole.

      They don"t fit in the spot then. Need to find a bigger spot or a smaller car.

        I’ve been on the middle of a parking lot, in a smaller car then both my neighbors, with my bumper (on front and back) less far out than my neighbors and still got a nice $500 bumper-rub.

        Being remotely close to the edge is not in your personal self interest.

          Sounds like it doesn’t matter where you park, someone is just as likely to be an asshole and hit your car. So why not take the high road and not park like an asshole?

          Parking near other cars is not in your best interest if you want to avoid damage. If someone has to block walkways to keep their car safe they are in the wrong spot. There is no excuse.

          When visiting Hollywood, I have learned that the ideal parking spot is in a tree, which is just about the only place where other cars can’t reach you.

        No, they need a car stop bar or whatever that informa the driver when they are safely parked

          So better not drive at all, then. Cause if there’s that many idiots, you’re getting dinged anyways.

      Maybe, but depending on where you live, parking like this will get your car scratched up and headlights broken. which is the right thing to do

      That’s clearly a residential area if someone would hit their cars it would happen either way… you’re supposed to drive slowly there.
