A distraction for sure, doesn’t excuse for the inconvenience of course, but if you ask why is then is because:

  1. People are buying increasingly stupid ass huge cars
  2. The ability of the average driver to actually drive well is decreasing as much more automation/aiding systems are injected into the driving experience
  3. It follows that then people will often graze the cars parked just aside theirs, when manoeuvring into or out from a parking slot, especially on the corners of the bumpers
  4. Any owner will then try to avoid this by moving his car outside of the possible trajectory of the driver who parked/will park the car just aside theirs and who most likely can’t park a car, while yet choosing to buy a stupid huge ass car, and they do this by moving the farthest away from the rear parking line.

Of course they could have bought a small car instead and avoid invading the walkway, a small car surely also would have paired well with the smallness of their brains and/or appendages, but the lack of taste is since long time well past endemicity levels.

so the proper response is to start scratching the front of a few cars to incentive them to pull back a bit?

Because some idiots don’t feel like they’re parked until the front mud flap is scraping and eventually ripped off.

My whole neighborhood looks like this and I fucking hate it. Sometimes I fantasize about having a giant Flex and cut every car where the sidewalk begins

Here on the UK you occasionally come across someone with a ‘yank tank’. Massive impractical things… they take up more than one parking space and still poke out into the road. How in hell they get in and out of car parks is beyond me.

Luckily it’s rare probably because of the sheer impracticality of them. I can barely get down my street with my large buy not stupid car… one of those they’d have to get out and walk…
