I almost always reverse into parking spots at the shops, 1. You're better off if someone hits you when driving out forward (reversing out of parking gives you practically no rights if an accident happens) 2. It's really quite easy to get it centered with reversing in.

Great thread, im gonna have to start taking pics at work. people parked on corners of tight driveways despite yellow paint and no parking spraypainted there, some of the B-Double drivers we have would just drive over the corner of them or take their bumpers clean off. Harsh but fair.
and the truck company next door has replaced their own fence 3 times in the last year cos their drivers are totally useless or clapped out and they dont know they have just driven over concrete and HUGE log barriers.

I tend to notice alot of people who get frustrated with people taking time to get into a car spot. I'd be happy to wait a few minutes if the person was actually atempting to get it right.... even up to the point of them getting out of the car to double check. All it takes is one person in a row of spaces to f*ck it up big time and it"ll put every one else out. I hate parking next to someone who's obviously blown the driving instructor to get their license (be it male or female, both instructor and learner), because murphy's law basically means that they'll leave 5 minutes after I park and I'll be the one looking like a f*cktard for not parking correctly.

Ive got a pick on my phone of a guy in a white liberty that decided to park in a laneway in a uni carpark. There was even an empty space behind him that he must have reversed into then back out into the laneway.
It was there when i arrived at 9am, and still there at 4pm when i left.
Ill try to put it up, but i took it from a bit of a distance

Found it

The forester is pulling out of a parking spot into the little laneway so you get the idea.

The place I worked at until recently had replaced iron sheeting on one of the warehouses on three or four occasions in the time I was there because of B-double drivers. Granted, the corner is very tight for a double but if hugged correctly other drivers had no trouble. I love the complete disregard by the offending drivers, as they barely shrug before continuing on to their next job.
