Parking "Excellence"

So I'm picking my girlfriend up from work the other day. She works at a call center in a high rise building. There is a pickup/drop off spot big enough for three cars in front. I pull into the pickup area and am parked at the rear. There is a car in the first spot. There is an empty spot between us. This White Montana van noses in.



Now, there is a reason why parralell parking is taught by backing in. The van is now angled in and the left rear is still sticking out into the right lane of traffic by 3 feet. They then proceeded to turn on their right blinker...

There was also the instance of the Mercedes Benz that just stopped in the right lane and turned on his signal. Of course, other people decided that since he was doing it, they could too. There was a huge public parking lot, not 100 yards away.

I'm pretty sure expensive cars must come with a special membership card that says you can park like a retard.
