Parking lot etiquette can make or break someone\u2019s day, especially for anyone who takes care to protect their pride and joy from dings and scratches. On TikTok recently, we saw how one BMW owner\u2019s carpark strategy backfired when an inconsiderate driver decided to make his space their business.<\/p>\n
TikTok user @webb.77 shared his frustration in a 17-second video posted on Aug. 15, showing what he calls his \u201cbiggest pet peeve ever.\u201d The clip, overlaid with text reading \u201cMy biggest pet peeve!\u201d, captures the BMW M3 owner walking across a parking lot toward his Daytona Beach Blue sports car and the vehicle parked uncomfortably close beside it.<\/p>\n
@webb.77\u2019s parking strategy was textbook protective driving. In a 2024 article<\/a> on \u201cdefensive parking,\u201d Consumer Reports advises that \u201cparking in the first or last spot on the block is ideal because it prevents being bookended by other cars.\u201d According to Automotive Fleet<\/a>, AAA recommends that drivers look for pull-through parking, or if that\u2019s not available, back into parking spots in order to avoid backing out when it\u2019s time to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n @webb.77 did everything experts recommend except for parking under a tree\u2013AAA tells drivers that doing so might cause problems, especially in the Fall. He positioned his BMW M3 as far right in the space as possible, right up against a landscaped median with a tree, leaving plenty of room on the left side of his parking space.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I parked as far to the curb as I possibly could, so no one would park next to me,\u201d he explains in the video. \u201cAnd then this person parks next to me. Like, what? Like, come on. Are we [expletive] for real?\u201d<\/p>\n The culprit? A charcoal-colored Honda Ridgeline that not only chose to park in the adjacent space despite having the entire lot to choose from, but also crossed over the parking lines, occupying more than a foot of @webb.77\u2019s carefully chosen spot.<\/p>\n The TikTok community overwhelmingly sympathized with @webb.77\u2019s plight, with many sharing similar experiences and frustrations.<\/p>\n \u201cI swear it\u2019s done on purpose,\u201d commented rachelxautumn, receiving over 700 likes from fellow viewers.<\/p>\n \u201cIt definitely is. It\u2019s a power thing to them,\u201d added Dpc08, while butterbeef shared, \u201cYep, when I had a new car I would purposely park all the way in the back and it would never fail.\u201d<\/p>\n Many commenters noted that larger vehicles seem to be the worst offenders. \u201cIt\u2019s always a pickup truck that does it,\u201d wrote rockmetstone, echoing a sentiment shared by numerous others who specifically called out trucks and large SUVs.<\/p>\n User higginsbob offered a broader critique: \u201cSo many people have no business backing in to parking spaces. Just go in straight if you can\u2019t do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n The comments section revealed a subculture of parking lot justice warriors who take matters into their own hands. Paris G. admitted, \u201cI have fake parking tickets I place on peoples cars when they do this.\u201d<\/p>\n Others shared more creative solutions. User berrzerq wrote, \u201cThis is why I have pre-printed notes in my car that say \u2018The lines have a purpose, park within them.\u2019 Yes I\u2019m that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Some suggested more drastic measures, with ltdangles claiming, \u201cI keep \u2018learn to stay in the lines\u2019 coloring sheets and boxes of crayons to leave on cars parked like this.\u201d<\/p>\n @webb.77\u2019s experience highlights a real everyday frustration for conscientious drivers: No matter how skilfully you park, there\u2019s always someone with substandard driving skills or bad manners willing to ruin your day. While @webb.77\u2019s BMW still had enough room on the driver\u2019s side for him to get in, it was a close call.<\/p>\n The incident serves as a reminder that parking lot courtesy requires us to respect each other\u2019s boundaries.<\/p>\n \u00a0 Parking lot etiquette can make or break someone\u2019s day, especially for anyone who takes care to protect their pride and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4590"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4593,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590\/revisions\/4593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Community Solidarity<\/h2>\n
