    LOL I’ve done this many times. It’s a matter of pride. I don’t want people to be like, did a cat park this?

      maaan, one time i pulled in awkward to the corner of a parking lot at a trail head to wait for my friend. i was pulled forward and at an angle so i could see past the other cars and know if my friend had driven past the lot. the was no cell service so i had to go flag him down when i saw him since the rail head wasn’t very well marked. I made sure i wasn’t in anyone’s way, but it was an ugly ass park job if it had actually been a park job.

      as I was sat there with my windows cracked two dudes walked past and spent like 5 minutes shitting on Subaru drivers because of my park job. they didn’t see me in the car i guess. like, they were just making incorrect assumptions, but it still kinda hurt…

        Sometimes it helps if you remind yourself that criticizing a group they don’t belong to fills some peoples need to feel more powerful. For me adjusting my bad parking is just perfectionism or OCD. I even edit most of my comments after posting LOL.
