Don't you just love those people who park stupidly?

Ample naman yun spaces of each slots, kaso you need to really park you car exactly on the middle of the lines. Kinaiinis ko lang is yun katabi ko sa kaliwa, since yun kabilang side niya is poste ayaw niya iparada ng maayos yung kotse niya, i mean wala siya sa gitna, he's inside his slot pero gabuhok na lang yun distance ng gulong niya dun sa linya. Sakto naman if he will park it properly on the middle, hindi naman siya tatama dun sa poste pero hindi ko magets parang ilang na ilang siya sa poste. ang ending hindi ako makalabas sa pintuan ko.

I'm thinking if i should call his atention, logicaly he's inside his box but still for me mali pa din.

Reminds me of the one parking in the middle of 3 slots in our condo basement. We're on the slot to her (yes, owner is a middle aged lady) right. Sinasagad niya yung napakalaki niyang CRV Gen 1 sa rightmost part nung slot. Within the lines pero sagad to the right, tapos di pa niya isasagad paharap. So when I park the Prado on our slot, sagad din ako sa poste sa kanan, with some difficulty turning into the slot coz front parking dapat, Di naman siguro mas mahaba yung CRV diba? Grrr...

Anyhow, I suggest you ask the owner nicely. Baka he can adjust a bit since nasa gilid na siya at libre naman yung driver's door niya for him to alight without difficulty, unlike you who have to eke your way out. If he gives you attitude or does nothing about it, then why don't you park forward, pinahan mo din yung linya. At least you get to maximize your slot as well. Donwside, if he's as stupid as we think he is, then baka sabitan ka.

I feel you, nag tataka nga ako sa mga ganyan mag park, nasa poste na, hindi ka na nga tatamaan pag lumabas sila, takot padin.

Sa mall nga pag sa tabi ng poste ako nag papark, mas dinidikit ko sa poste yung kotse kasi mas confident ako na hindi tatama yung poste kumpara sa pinto ng tatabi sakin.

Pakiusapan mo lang, approach him nicely. hehe.

Hindi ko kasi alam ugali niya, he might get annoyed thinking na he's parked between the lines ng slot niya baka ako pa mukhang maarte at tanga.
Before my slot is beside the post and sagad ako sa poste i even fold my side mirrors on my side kaya ang luwag talaga ng clearance para dun sa gitnang slot. Regarding your suggestion parking facing wall, hindi talaga ako sanay lalo na pag andyan na yun dalawang katabi ko. Kahit anong hirap and sikip mas comfortable ako na pumark paatras.

Minsan naisip ko pag nauunahan ko siya dumating if bakawin ko naman yung space ko, ang takot ko naman baka sabitan naman niya ako.

Ask him if he's willing to swap slots with you. Ayaw naman niya gumilid sa poste eh.

Ito ok to.

Pero try mo rin indirect confrontation, pabanggit mo sa guard na pag nadaanan sabihin sa kanya:

"Sir, medyo maluwag ho space natin sa left side (kung facing wall), kung maari naman sir usog pa natin para hindi mahirapan yung nasa gitna."

I'll try to talk ti him, hopefully maayos naman siya kausap. If he asks me why should i be frank to him and tell him my concerns? kung pwede lang directly sabihin na "tanga ka kasi pumarada!" hehe

Inabutan ko na yan, guide pa niya yung guard mag park wala din. seeing na he's between the lines tingin ng gwardiya ayos na.

Yun nga lang bro. Kaya ingat lang with the double edged sword approach.

Can you ask for another slot?

Dito naman sa office, I just recalled, ako nga pala yung nasa gitnang slot. To the left is an Expedition EL and to the right is either an Accord or Civic. As much as I can, I try to park the Grand Starex or Prado in the dead center of the slot, so as not to inconvenience the other 2. Sometimes, of course, I sorta miss that dead center, but still am far from either dividing line, so I'll see who ever left and came back, that he made a bit of an adjustment to get a few more cms of space. Thankfully, they both are not scared of the posts adjacent to their respective slots.

Sino ba yung in-charge na mag assign ng slots sa inyo?
Yung HR? Facilities Dept?

Pwede mo rin sila lapitan para sila na yung mag implement ng slot re-assignment.

Ginawa ko na yon dati sa office ko. Sneaky...but it worked.

Kadalasan naman, for people who park sloppily, the only thing that matters to them is that they have a slot where they can park. Bali wala sa kanila kung solo slot, edge slot or middle slot yon. Basta libre at allocated, okay na yon.
So kung bigla siyan pagsabihan ng HR or Facilities na na-move yung slot niya, malamang okay lang sa kanya yon.
Ikaw naman mag patay malisya ka na lang pag nangyari yon. :D
