I've heard people use the excuse "I was only staying there for a couple minutes, so I didn't try"

But parking isn't that hard lol

Yeah I’m pretty sure I only ever have to “try” to park in the lines when it’s a real tight parallel park.

u/AlexDaMan22 13h ago

Oh no you're one of those people 😂 hey as long as you're not affecting other people who want to park, then go for it lol

But for me, I'm the type of person that will re-park if it doesn't pretty. That's just my ocd coming in

u/crit_crit_boom 11h ago

Haha no, I’m saying it’s so easy for most of us to park within the lines that we don’t really have to “try” to do it right.

Ohhh gotcha.

Time to retire your license, granny.

Seems like she shouldn't be driving anymore, like most people responsible for the parking in similar pictures.

Just stay off of the highway Grandma.

So you can like readjust your spacing if necessary.

There's a decent percentage of the driving population that thinks they have just a single go at it. No. You can backup and reattempt if you need to.

CR-V: the official vehicle of old age.

Doesn’t want anyone parking next to her new car, doesn’t want to park in the back 40 and definitely doesn’t give two shits what anyone thinks.

u/jim914 11h ago

Yeah it’s always the old people! But give her some credit at least she’s not crosswise I’ve seen that more often than this!

Yes,people really don't care that much about how they park

2

u/4350Me 10h ago

New car, give her a break! Probably isn’t used to parking it yet, and/or doesn’t want it scratched. OR, she doesn’t know how to drive!😂

That's not giving two fucks going on three.

u/Affectionate_Art8770 7h ago

I look forward to the day when I’m the one irritating everyone else with my driving/ parking.

u/Bulky-Association708 6h ago

I'm an old man and if I'm in my really really big vehicle, that's how I park. Oh God I'm so sorry but yes, I'm the person you make fun of also.Lol

She just spent the last of her life savings…. Leave her alone 😂😂😂 she’s lived.

Was it my wife?

u/Disastrous-Place7353 12h ago

You had me at "old lady" nothing more has to be said.

u/NoOnSB277 22h ago

Well there’s your answer, maybe it’s time to retire from driving. But still, you still bothered to post instead of help an older lady out- you could have offered to help guide her in between the lines.

6

u/Appearedperson 21h ago

Well she had another person with her who was very capable of that😃👍

5

u/_AlwaysWatching_ 21h ago

If she can't drive, she shouldn't have a fucking license 😭

1

u/NoOnSB277 12h ago

Yes, agreed… hence the “maybe it’s time to retire from driving” comment. 🤔 (That doesn’t mean others should be nasty humans, though.)

u/Machinist_68 1d ago

Well she's old so there's that.

u/Casey_in_Portland 21h ago

Which means.... she's had a LIFETIME of practice 🥴

u/chickenskittles 15h ago

And a steady loss of fine motor skills, reaction time, cognition, etc.

u/Machinist_68 14h ago

If we all would understand and empathize with the stages of life...

u/Dulce_Sirena 7h ago

If they can't drive and park safely and correctly they don't need to be driving.

u/Machinist_68 5h ago

It's not super terrible in a nearly empty parking lot. Could it have been better, yes.

0

u/Dulce_Sirena 4h ago

It is super terrible. It's a careless parking job that there's no valid excuse for. Only people who park like assholes defend asshole parking

u/Machinist_68 4h ago

Mature people can see that all people make mistakes from time to time.

1

u/Dulce_Sirena 4h ago

People with functioning brakes understand that parking this badly isn't an accident, it's laziness, and that not correcting it is selfishness.

u/Machinist_68 4h ago

Have you ever watched an old person try and park correctly and to continue to re adjust several times to still end up bad. This is the understanding we all need to have. We will all be there some day.

Most people in those awful ugly suv's dont care about anyone but themselves.

u/chickenskittles 15h ago

CR-Vs are small.

u/mike-manley 14h ago

Calling a Civic on stilts a "SUV" is quite a stretch. It's a crossover.
