When visiting a friend's house, do you:

A) Park on the street in front of their house?
B) Park in their driveway?
C) Park at an angle with your front wheels at the base of he driveway
in such a way as to block both their driveway AND a portion of the
street (see photo)?

I'd park in the street; parallel to the traffic lanes and where
permitted, ofcourse.

Looks like your friend choose option "c," though.... ;)

The photo looks like it's in a cul de sac, when we lived in a cul de
sac we diagonally parked facing the curb for parties to get the most
cars parked in limited space.
Myself, I usually park along the curb in the street when visiting
friends unless they have one of those 1/2 mile long "country driveway".

This punk is a regular visitor to that house, and he always parks like

Would you ever park in such an asinine "Look at me! Look at me!!" kind
of way? Do you PURPOSELY park in such a way as to MAXIMIZE the amount
of inconvenience to everyone else?

Yeah, I guess there is a Bermuda Triangle in front of that house that
causes vehicles to break down and roll down into some sort of
mysetrious gravity well:

http://i19.tinypic.com/4cwcntf.jpg

This time, he not only managed to block the driveway and part of the
street, but he blocked the entire sidewalk, too.

OBTW, I happened to notice when the culprit left his friend's house.
After resting there in the driveway for about half an hour, the
Bermuda Triangle must have reversed polarity because this guy just got
into his "broken-down" minivan and drove away.

WTF is this guy thinking? Is he trying to be a MFFY a.shole? Or does
he think he's "cool" for parking this way? Or is he just an attention
whore, saying "look at me! look at me!!"

I'll tell you one thing: any shithead that parked like that in front
of MY house would never be invited back.

They're doing it just to f.ck with you.

The owner of the house tells his friends to park like that because it
drives his neighbor who's always filming sh.t up the friggin' wall.  :-)

I can't think of any other reason.

They could pick something more effective. For example, they could
install a car alarm that false-triggers all the time. Or they could
let their dog bark all night long.

Maybe. I've been in cul de sacs where the driveways were close enough
together to make it almost impossible to park without blocking at
least part of one of them. Plus since the curb is circular, it is hard
to park parallel to the curb. And in a cul de sac, blocking the
sidewalk is not much of a problem, since it is my experience that
people don't take a circular path around the cul de sac, they just
walk across the middle. I assume the person in the Sienna was visiting
someone they knew, so blocking the driveway was unimportant.
Personally, I would have pulled into the driveway if I was going to
block it as shown in your picture. I hate parking on the curb in cul
de sacs because it always seems like you are blocking something.

Not true in this one.

The cul-de-sac is actually rectangular, with only a couple of curved
portions. And there is plenty of room to park properly even on the
curved portions.

What I find absolutely fascinating, however, is how some of you guys
try SO HARD to make excuses for this guy's anti-social behavior. First
it's "his car broke down," now it's "the curb is hard to park
against." What is your objection to calling a spade a spade and a jerk
a jerk?

I don't keep up with rice, either, although I've always liked the

Inconvenience to everyone? Or just to his(?) friends who live in that
house? If its not your house, its not your problem unless it blocks the
street as well. If its blocking the street, just pull up behind it with
your big 4x4, blow the air horn and when the car's owner comes out, just
ask (nicely) if his car needs a push. My front bumper looks like it
lines up with his taillights perfectly. ;-)

His front wheels are in the rain gutter that runs next to the curb;
the a.s end of his car is sticking out into the street. There's room
to go around on the other side, but that doesn't mean it's not

Looks to me the Celica driving retard is parking his vehicle in front
of the driveway of the house he's visiting, out in the middle of the
cul-de-sac. That would be a major inconvenience to anyone who wanted
to use the cul-de-sac to turn around in.

If that were true, you should've mentioned it in your original post.
Since you didn't, I must presume you are now inventing facts to support
your frail perspective.

That is your solely your interpretation.  Why do people buy "Screaming

Spurious conclusion.  You don't know how much inconvenience was
experienced by anyone but yourself.  I suppose if that were the MAXIMUM
amount you would have been completely blocked and knocked on the door
of the house seeking relief from the "offender".

Since you didn't mention that (either), and have arrived somewhere to
access r.a d., I must conclude you are exaggerating to a great degree.

You're good at making errant assumptions. Now if you were good at
reading, you might be onto something.

Why don't you argue that the faster one drives the less time spent driving and available to be involved in an accident?

Heh. An ex-coworker of mine and I went to eat lunch one day. The
parking lot of the restaurant we were eating at was packed. Some
jack-a.s racer boi parked his car straddling two lanes almost directly
in front of the door. My buddy pulled his car in front of the
ricer-boi's car, turned off the ignition, and said "we're here."

Ricer-boi wasn't going to back out of the situation, because behind
him was a retaining wall, fence, exit ramp, and then interstate.

Lunch was at a sit-down casual restaurant, and considering how busy
they were, service was a little slow. After lunch, my coworker and I
decided to sit there and chat a bit, as we certainly weren't in a
hurry to get back to work. Lunch hour was more like lunch hour and a
half.

As luck would have it, ricer-boi was waiting for us to leave so he
could move his vehicle. He didn't appear too happy for some reason or
another. I wonder if he would have made an issue of it had he not been
outnumbered?

Situations like these are why I always take a camera with me when I go
out to lunch. :)

I would have loved to have had a camera with me. Unfortunately this
occurred sometime back, before digital cameras with sufficient
resolution were in the price range I wanted to spend. Though I've got
some experience exposing and developing 35mm, I really never developed
the desire to pay for the cost of the film. In fact, the job I held at
the time was a software engineer authoring digital image processing
applications that performed a lot of the same functions I could do in
the dark room years ago. :-)

Now, though, I keep at least one camera in the vehicle I'm driving at
all times. Unfortunately I don't remember to pull it out of the bag
before I start my journey. I'd like to get a decent mounting bracket
for it so that I could have one of the cameras in video mode for the
work commutes; I'd like to capture one of my "median passes."

No; however, that photo does not give anyone enough information to
conclude why that car was parked that way. For example, it could have
stalled out and the driver simply stepped out of the car to call for
emergency road side service.

D) What I attempt is to never do is judge situations of which I am
almost totally ignorant.

I highly recommend it.  That, and getting a life.

Liar. The group is full of content you've posted where you disprove
that.

>I highly recommend it.  That, and getting a life.

And yet you don't follow your own recommendation. Wow, imagine
hypocrisy coming from a retard like you.

Is this a trick question or do you offer it for extra credit?

I've parked like that.  Here's the situation.  In a Cul-De-Sac, you
want to get off the street because it's a tight fit, but since your car
leaks oil, you're considerate enough to not pull up in your friend's
brand new driveway and put a puddle of oil in the middle of it.

Why not park parallel to the road's edge, instead of perpendicular to
it? That way you don't have the a.s end of your vehicle in the middle
of the cul-de-sac, making a cluster-f.ck for everyone else?
