At my company car park some of the bigger car owners park their oversized ego trips straight over the middle of the line separating the (atmittedly narrow) parking spots, as if they want to say "Hey, my car is just too big to fit into these tiny spots".
I need to bring my kids to school, and when I arrive at work the last available slot has just been filled, but there would still be several empty spots if not for these... colleagues...

What aggravates the situation is that parking licenses have been issued to all women and furthermore to people of a certain age and company history. But when the beams go up the younger men try to sneak by tailgating someone who has the parking license, filling the lot prematurely and forcing the elderly to use a general parking spot at 10 minutes walk away.
(to be honest I'm not old yet; sending regards to Abraham soon but I do have the license)

They may wonder who keeps putting their windscreen wipers off their windows. They do no damage. I do no damage. I hope they are annoyed, though.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
