Not double parking, but say at walmart or something, is it illegal to take 2 spaces up? I know it's rude and everything, but I'm curious. I've seen many people do it but idk what happened, I never cared to stick around for the owner or a tow truck lol.

Private property, depends on the lot owners. Your shit can get towed anytime

Even at private businesses its up to parking enforcement or security , to me ,not worth it .

I always think about doing that, but then if some assshole comes and keys it for taking 2 spots, then I'd be twice as pissed compared to just a door ding. I always just park as far as possible. I need the exercise anyway.

I also park as far as possible!

I also park as far away as possible. Most people have gotten so damn lazy that walking more than 50 feet to the entrance of the store is too far of a distance.

I would NEVER take 2 spots, since it makes you look like a total douche, and a lot of people will see that and mess with your vehicle. Just not worth it.

I always park far away as well...but SOMEHOW, there is always a cart or car that wants to piss me off o_0

People park in two spots everyday at my work. I never see them ticketed, nor bothered. I would assume, well at least the way I see it, is if it's a nice ass car, people wont mess with it. But if your parking your bucket 87 Toyota pickup in two spots, you a douche. Especially if it's a known busy day, like black Friday, or week before Christmas.

I do it though at the Starbucks I used to work at. That parking lots huge. Plus it makes me look hella cool and whatnot.

This thread got me paranoid now i'm parked in 2 spaces right now

Posted by fredfifty (Member # 10320) on :

if someone takes up two spots, on purpose, especially if they have a nice car...i will park so that my passenger door is right up against their driver door...that is if i see no indications of the parker being elder with a placard, etc...and i will copy down their plate...

that shit is unacceptable, and just because you have a shiny and expensive car, you are not entitled to 2 spaces, ever...

i park far away and take up two spots. i can understand someone getting upset if i took two spots right in front of the store. that's just wrong lol. but if your mad at me for parking in the deep end of the lot and having two spots then f*** u. [patriot]

The only time i take up 2 spots is early in the morning when i am running in to get my lunch, i don't pull up all the way so my bed and rear tire are in the parking spot behind me still. Usually its a good distance from Safeway and there's a lot of parking spots around. I do it cause all the tree trimming and tow truck drivers are all there too and i don't want them taking the front of my truck off when they leave.
