A prius parked like that next to my gf in downtown SJ last year. after my gf left, the prius owner came back to find someone (not my gf LOL) carved "one parking space b$&ch" into the side that was over the line...long story short, the chick tried to sue my gf for vandalism by illegally obtaining her personal info through the DA...

I could barely get in my car. Not to mention its not like there weren't 30+ real spots available in the garage. It was a practically empty garage and that is where he chooses to park.

If the endless supply of retards that park in, in front of, and across my driveway directly in front of the NO PARKING sign and FOR NO REASON had some damage happen to their cars instead of me "just getting over it" every day, maybe people would stop, and think about where they are putting their car for the split second it takes to not be a douche. But no, people continue to do it. I came home yesterday for lunch to see an Accord blocking my driveway, when the space in front of him was open - he could have simply let his car roll another 5 feet and I could have gotten into my driveway. Sure, I can drive around the block for a while and find a place to put my car, and then walk back to my house but... WHAT THE ****?????
This dude wins the idiot award for the week:
I mean... I dunno. Wow.
Here's the Accord:
No, I do not own a Prius:
This woman was sooo sorry after my wife parked across the back of her car when she got home from work. Everyone is sooo sorry... They just didn't SEE the huge "NO PARKING" sign 4 feet in front of where they were parking....
Maybe I need to install one of these:

you realize, if you guys have such a problem with people illegally parking, you can always have thier car towed.
The prius is parked next to that yellow pole, which if im not mistaken means its a tow away zone....
Instead of vandalizing people (*which i think is ****ing stupid*), be smart and do it the legal way.
And BTW ^ that parking arrangement sucks, but you can have people towed for parking infront of a driveway like that.
IM WILLING TO BET after a few people start paying $300 to get thier car back, your driveway may seem a bit more open. (lol help your local economy out!)

I'd never vandalize someone's car ever, just to be clear.
I don't think you realize what it would be like to call a tow company or the police or whatever for every jerk that does this. This is an every day - sometimes 3 times a day (if I am coming/going to my place) thing - happens to my wife when she comes home for lunch. It's a busy area, and we pay for the spot so we don't have to deal with this. I would say maybe 5% of the occurrences leave the car remaining there for more than say 30min so in most cases, unless I had a deal with a local close tow truck, the people would be gone too fast anyway. It's just a timing thing. Sucks to come home expecting to pull in your driveway, and have to park your car and try to find the Douche of the Day. Sitting there and calling someone only to have nothing done or the situation continue and deal with the same crap daily anyway, would be worse than what it is now. If it gets worse or cars linger, then I will add one of those "will be towed at the owner's expense" signs, but honestly I would feel petty for getting someone's car towed even though, it does suck. The thing is for me, and maybe this is coming from living in SF, I just do not understand what makes people park in someone's driveway. I would never do it - just wouldn't.
It would also suck to have someone vandalize my car because I called tow on them. I dunno. Just another stupid situation brought to you by stupid people.

Yeah except it has only 45 mpg....
My old geo metro got 50 and it was STRAIGHT GAS. Plus with the straight exhaust and intake I had on it, I could run down a Prius bwhahaha
