As long as he's not boxing anyone in, it's not -that- big of a deal. There's a golf cart in the space behind him, a motorcycle in the space in front of him, so it's not like he's preventing anyone from parking in either space. It's annoying, but nothing worth calling the press over. If it happened while I was walking by, I'd probably mutter "idiot" under my breath and get over it.

I likely wouldn’t even notice. Don’t focus on everything needing to be perfect. And I certainly wouldn’t call someone an idiot just because they parked on a line.

I once got yelled at for parking too far over to the left or the right in a supermarket lot, until I explained to the guy yelling at me that the guy on my left to right it'll also parked too far over and I was just fitting in. However in this case I think it's a matter of someone being too damn lazy to find another spot and they don't want to walk, as much parking as there is, some places in the villages with theaters in auditoriums and restaurants simply do not have enough spaces for all the old people who can't walk far.

Parking is at a premium, especially when the snow birds are here. Nothing against them whatsoever; I’m glad to have the crowds and revenue injections! However, I see way too many idiots that cannot parallel park to save their lives.

OMG, someone parked on the line!!!! And wait..... look at how far from the curb they are.
Wow! You’re buttons sure are easy to push.
I appreciate those who are not of such an anal mindset.

50 posts about parking a car. Wow...........

The people doing just what they want to do with no regard to rules and laws are rude, ignorant and narcissistic and I'll add entitled and in some stage of dementia. People complain about them because those law abiders are frustrated and need to vent so they don't become like those they are complaining about. The" complainers" are normal and coping in a normal way. It's an acceptable way of handling the situation. Kudos to them!

And if the car was there first, the motorcycle should not be there!

I agree with you but if your main focus that day was to take pics of illegally parked cars and post them you really need a life. Enjoy your time while you have it and live your life to the fullest

100% correct

Check out the "golf carts are too fast thread"
once you get past the bellyaching and blubbering,
you still have the whining and complaining.

Curious? Unless you saw both cars park, who get the ticket? Where were the cars before these two parked? If they were across the lines theses two may have simply filed in the available space. Absent knowledge of the prior situation you could well be giving a ticket to a good Samaritan. Are they squeezing two vehicles in essentially one space and making the best of what was there? I do believe our police have better things to do than investigate possible traffic violations. After seeing the original thread I’m reminded of Forest Gump, “Rude is as rude does”. Rise above it and move on.

It's difficult to think of a bigger problem in life.

I know many people will say “get back in the box”, literally.

Are you joking or is this sarcasm... it’s difficult to call it a space without lines. I do agree without knowing the situation you really don’t know why these vehicles parked the way they did. Somebody was really thinking smart by making the parking spaces in TV slightly larger to accommodate its senior population IMHO.

The streets around the TV Squares are apparently public not private. You can get a ticket for sitting in your cart and drinking alcohol, however, never saw it enforced. When it comes to “enforcement” careful what you wish for...
