This person pulled straight into a 45 degree parking spot. I'm parked on the left. It's a daycare and I'm curious if their kids can color inside the lines yet.

it's no big deal if if doesn't functionally prevent anyone from getting in and out and if it's just a quick move

They're still an asshole.

Or very distracted. Not excusing them, just saying. Not every action is a purposeful asshole. They could be an innocent asshole lol

Distracted drivers are even worse. They literally kill people.

I'm sure the lives of those in this parking lot are in very little peril.

That's what people who park like assholes tell themselves. It takes ten extra seconds to straighten out and park correctly.

The daycare I take my kids to, there are six regular spots in front of the building and two handicapped spots. There's tons of parking on the side of the building, it's just not as convenient.

Without fail, there are mothers who will absolutely park in the handicapped spots if the other spots in front are taken. Some of them will even park their massive SUV in BOTH handicapped spots. It blows my mind, the privilege these people display. They can park on the side of the building and walk an extra ten feet like s normal human being, but no... they are more important than anyone else.

I make sure to point out to my kids that those people are breaking the rules because they don't want to deal with a very slight inconvenience.

Reminds me of the people who will practically block our street by parking on both sides because they don't want to be slightly inconvenienced using their driveways. I don't think a fire truck could get down our street unless they sideswiped every car.

handicapped spots

if they're not being used, maybe they don't need to exist?

I've seen people say it's kind of weird people want the "handicapped" to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?

Again, things assholes tell themselves.

You don't understand how wheelchairs work, do you?

If you can't park properly, you don't deserve to drive in public.
