    I agree, I always have driven through the lot looking for a place, I'm not that lazy.

    Hey - when they start building 120' long 14' wide parking spots, I will park less creatively....

    maybe the property owner or manager needs access to whatever is next to the curbs you are parked along. Maybe your creative spots are making it too tight for trucks to drive on the property. I've noticed over the last few years that these creative parking spots are the FIRST spots to be used, not last ditch emergency parking. Daily, where I fuel the majority of fuel pumps are blocked by parkers while there are DOZENS of easy legal parking spots everywhere.

    It's their property, they decide. Boycott them if you must.

    At 2 in the afternoon noon it is because of lazy & incompetent drivers. Half the driver's first choice is block the fuel pumps for hours, block the driveway, par along the curb no matter how many parking spots are available. To those types anything less than 300 feet directly in front of a back-end spot might as well be defended by an Army division. Everybody in this industry needs exercise, get some walking more than the 6 feet from curb to front door.

    Heck, it might encourage some drivers to actually learn how to back. <shudder>

    Parking is your own problem, not somebody else's problem. You say you weren't blocking anyone or anything. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I would be a millionaire. Furthermore, taking someone else's parking spot is the same as stealing. Grow up!

    It's pretty annoying when i need to take my 30 min break, or just want to get some food with a set of doubles and every possible spot I can pull up in is taken by vans, while there are open spots in the lot.
    Happens more often than not.

    I spent the night at that j in vandalia a few weeks ago , got there about 2 pm and it was dang near full .
    Before dark they were parking on the curbs etc and cops were running em off .
    That area of Ohio always has had a hard on for trucks and as another poster said in another thread vandalia cops are a little heavy handed .
     
    OLDSKOOLERnWV and x1Heavy Thank this.
