I was actually sitting in the car waiting for someone when the driver of the truck pulled in and parked.
Should I call the number? Wonder if they have an email address?
I doubt he has kids. If he :censored: like he parks then I know he doesn't...
If he can't park that big :censored: any better than that he ought to not be driving it...
Mississippi tag - that figures. Alabamians thank the Good Lord daily that there's a Mississippi. Mississippi exists solely to keep Alabama from being the absolute bottom of the barrel.

Oh I hate people who don't know how to park and never consider to re-park their cars/trucks properly.

If that were me, I woulda rolled the window down and said... "HEY BUDDY!!! Mind moving your truck over so I can get out of this car????"
Since he was in a "work truck" I'd doubt he'd actually have a gun or some other device of immediate harm on him. :heh:
i dislike double parking, with or without a car in the neighboring stall :thumbdown:

my ex-cab f-150 8 ft high covered box can be a bitch to park . the trucks seems lik it takes a 1 1/4 parking spaces in length alone . and i alway have to adjust when pulling into a parking space .the thing has one long turn radius. and ton of blind mirror spots so im really careful not to bump anything. the cap is taller then the cap of the truck and it's also got to service doors one on each side that's 7 ft long .i let anyone try parking this thing in a open parking lot its a pain !

Isn't "double parking" when you parallel park next to a car that is already parallel parked to the curb?
The image above just looks like "bad parking outside of your space" rather than double parking. :D
Having had that happen to me before (Minor difference - I didn't back in, my drivers' side door would have been the one pressed against his door), there is nothing more satisfying than vandalizing that vehicle.
A nice note telling them how to park is also nice.

I would agree with calling. They have the numbers there for a reason. Most likely the guy won't get fired, but he might think twice in the future.
If it were in a San Diego parking lot in Mission Valley, I would say don't call. Because the spaces there are way too small. I used to have a hard time parking my Civic in there.

do calling those things actually do anything? i've always wondered what those do.

For most companies they do. At the least a 'mark' goes on his record. If they get more than one or two, it can grounds for firing or re-assignment. If the boss loves the guy, nothing may happen, but if he doesn't it can give the ammunition they need to get rid of him.

About a year ago I saw a driver in a truck (I think it was a 6-wheel pickup type) driving like a maniac (I think it started when he was on my back bumper when I was already doing around 15mph over the limit). I saw him swerving through traffic, and almost caused an accident when he suddenly tried to switch lanes before a construction 'Y' where they divided the lanes. I called him in, and it seemed like they were taking things seriously.

I would hope that they have them on there for a reason. But I'm sure some companies do it just to look good. (And maybe some insurance thing?)
