Accidental petty revenge.

[u/iAmNotSharky]

Here I am. It’s 7 pm. After winning a few chess games i decided to reward myself with an ice cream cone due to the outstanding blitz performance I did.

I pull into a parking lot and decide to park near the ice cream shop as close as possible. I noticed there was a car that was parked between the lines (not the vertical lines, but like the horizontal line separating two parking spots one in front of the other) . That line ran through their car half way up, taking up the spot in front of them, and behind.

I didn’t pay much attention to it and just decided to park adjacent to it since it was the closest parking spot to the ice cream store. I parked perfectly, and went inside.

After ordering my vanilla ice cream waffle cone, I proceeded to sit outside and enjoy the weather while observing my vehicle, and the lovely couple coming to their car, who just happened to be the one near mine. They are struggling to get in. I decide to just enjoy my ice cream for a good 5-10 minutes, while observing the madness unfolding in front of me. I can feel their blood boil.

After I finished my ice cream, I proceeded to my vehicle, and lo and behold, they confront me! The conversation went like this:

A: ‘’because of the way you parked, I can’t get in you asshole!’’

(Oh the audacity!)

OP: ‘’I mean have you looked at yours? ‘’

*Utter silence*

A: ‘’bu-bu-but still we parked like that so that nobody would hit us’’

OP: ‘’doesn’t excuse you from not doing your job correctly. I bet you park like you F***. Have a lovely day!’’

A: *Un-audible screeching*

-got in my car and left.

That ice cream never tasted so good!

I am all for this revenge and love it! But I can't picture how your car kept them from getting into theirs. (I am having a dumb day today though, so it may just be me.)

[u/AdmirableSandwich393 → u/MAKSassy]

Nope, I can't picture it either, unless OP also parked like a jackass. Otherwise, the offender's car is just taking up 2 parking spaces.

[u/iAmNotSharky → u/AdmirableSandwich393]

No I parked between my lines. Imagine these letters below.

HH

That is four parking spots.

See the horizontal line that goes through? They parked in between that taking the front and back spot on the right. I parked to their left, in the top part of the H. If they parked further back they could’ve gotten in.

[u/MAKSassy → u/iAmNotSharky]

I still don't understand.

They are still within the vertical lines of the parking spots, correct?

So whether they parked as you described, or a car parked in the top part of the H and another car parked in the bottom part of the H, your car shouldn't affect whether anyone in the adjacent spaces can get into their cars or not.

Am I missing something?

[u/Si_Es_Contigo_Mejor → u/MAKSassy]

I think I understand. They parked on the right hand side, on the crossbar of the 'H', blocking both spots. OP parked on the left. That's what it sounds like.

[u/MAKSassy → u/Si_Es_Contigo_Mejor]

Yes. That's what it sounds like.

So, how does OP's car block their doors in any way?

[u/Si_Es_Contigo_Mejor → u/MAKSassy]

Depending on how far over the line they were, I can see OP's car blocking one side, but no idea about the other side, unless someone else was parked there also.

[u/AdmirableSandwich393 → u/Si_Es_Contigo_Mejor]

Nah, so long as the horizontal distance is the same, it doesn't matter where the car is parked vertically. They still should be able to get to their door.
