    Hear that. I was at one last night. They were parked 3 deep next to the scale. The guys parked facing that had a tight angle getting out, considering trailer swing to neighbor mirror ratio. I avoid Loves most of the time.

    Actually, he wouldn’t get up. The guy next to me was sitting up smoking cigarettes, he offered to back up a little ways. I thanked him and he still has his hood mirror.

    The one that gets me is the 'creative parkers' who fanagle spots when there are still quite a few regular spots. It's like some drivers have an aversion to actually using a designated parking spot.
    It also helps to not be lazy I think. IDK. Last night I'm coming into Coachella California. There is a casino called Spotlight 29. They have a really big and nice truck parking lot. I've never seen it full and usually it is fairly empty. I exit off I-10 where there's a Love's on one side and a TA on the other side. Trucks all over the place, including the exit and entry ramps. Drive over to Spotlight 29 and there are open spots for at least 50 trucks there. I chuckled as I didn't even have to back into a spot. And, driving a reefer, I do try and avoid parking close to other trucks, if I can, so I won't bother others with my reefer unit. IDK, I was just like really guys, there a crapload of spots here and you have to bunch yourselves up like there are no parking spaces within 100 miles.
