What a parking job!

What a parking job!

This morning I drove into the Walgreen's parking lot in Woodstock and watched a man in a white Ford Explorer pull partially into a parking spot. It looked like he was about to drive up Mount Everest, as he pulled a the pile of snow. And then he stopped.

You can see about how far he pulled in. Now, it's not like the lot was full. There were plenty of parking spaces. Of course, he was closer to the door by parking halfway out into the driveway.

From the directional arrow painted on the pavement, it's easy to see how much of the driving lane is blocked by his vehicle.

Could he have pulled farther in? Certainly. Picked a different space, instead of blocking a lane? Certainly.

Are some people just inconsiderate? Rude? Or is it something else?
