Taking up multiple spots just because?

I currently live in a pretty decent condo-plex with townhouse style condos. It's really quiet here and in the 2+ years that I have been here all neighbors have been friendly and respectful of each other. We all have 2 assigned spots in front of our condos, and the chances of one of your spots ever being taken is extremely rare. It's only happened once in the more than 2 years that I've lived here where I had a visitor inconvenienced.

Now there is someone new here that backs her SUV in splitting both of her spots everyday. Initially I though she just likes to back in but can't do it to well. I figured that she just doesn't care how she parks, but I actually so her pull up in one spot, empty the kids and groceries, then back in splitting both spots again.

I know she can do what she wants with her spots, but am I wrong for thinking that is pretty shitty to be that kind of person.

Her spots. Trying to confine her is sexist.

Plus, lot better for those on either side of her as well. No one has to worry about how wide their doors swing out or whatever. Seems like a smart move to be honest.

She's parking her car so that It takes up both of her assigned spots?

What is the problem here? Why do you care?

I get that it's her spots. I'm single, but I do have a fair amount of visitors, and it has never crossed my mind to do something like that. I mean that is really not a problem here. She does park in one spot when she has a visitor obviously.

Never considered this, at least it's an excuse that can help restore my faith in humanity.

So to be clear, she uses both of her assigned spots to park, similar to say using up the middle of one's own driveway, and you are asking if you should be bothered by this?

Eta
And upon further review, this has caused you to lose faith in humanity as a whole?

Maybe not a complete loss faith in humanity, but like I said, I don't think like that. It doesn't really bother me. I mean most of the time I have an extra spot anyway. I just find it extremely weird. No one else here does it.

If no one else can park in her spot, who cares? My condo has two spots per unit as well, but they're covered and it is extremely tight quarters between the two poles.

I have a friend who lives in a complex with assigned spots too. His neighbor, however, has a dually and pulls in diagonally taking up not one, not two, but three spots. They are the worst people ever.

Kids will ding the hell out of your doors and give no fricks about it. I'd call her strategy a good thing, for her and whoever is parked next to her.

What does she look like and what does she drive?

I'm not worried about he ability to back in, she is female....


You sound like a Female worried about the wrong things

I do that at my office, it's fricking annoying watching people just pull into my second spot that says reserved. I pay for 2 spots for a reason and it's not so randoms can park close and in the shade when it is 120 degrees out.
