My favorite bad parking story occurred back in the 80's at my former employer, where business expansion had resulted in an overcrowded parking lot barely large enough to hold the cars of the following shift when already crowded with the cars of the shift currently at work. One day I came into work to find no available parking spaces and the shiny new car of a 1st shifter parked so as to take up two spaces. So a co-worker and I (he drove an MG midget and I drove a 68 VW bug) parked on each side of him with our cars completely within the lines of the parking space leaving about 2 inches of space between our sides of our beaters and his pristine gem, then went into watch the fun at shift change. He ended up having to open his trunk, lower the back seat, slither into the back seat, work his way to the front, carefully back out to avoid scratching his paint, then get out and close his trunk. That was the last time we saw him park taking up two spaces.
