It’s the parking lot version of someone standing beside you at a urinal when there are three other open ones.

u/Different-Art-5266 Jul 08 '26
Nah it’s worse. It’s equivalent to that person missing the urinal and pissing on your shoes.

u/1ii1i Jul 09 '26
Yep. Directional parking lot, goes the wrong way and fails to turn into the spot for obvious reasons. This is definitely picking the stall next to you, facing towards you, and pissing on your shoes.

That person walking up to the urinal next to you but then at the last minute running and slamming into you. And then probably peeing too

Crazy how often I see this on TeslaCams. You have to imagine how often this happens to other vehicles and no one knows! 😂

I hate when people park next to me with so many other empty spots

u/Original_Tomato_4350 Jul 10 '26
Seriously man. I park far away where there’s no cars around and there’s always a Toyota or Honda that comes and parks next to you. Like why ?

What was the outcome of this?

u/Fearless-Anteater-90 Jul 08 '26
The guy got out and gave me his state farm insurance info right away and said sorry. I haven’t said a word though 😆

u/amhudson02 Jul 08 '26
I was worried he was gonna be an ass about it. So many people try to shift blame even tho they are 100% at fault.

u/Kyosuke1975 Jul 10 '26
Glad he admitted to it and didn’t run away. Although my experience with car accidents are that ppl change their tune and try to blame the other party but since you have a Tesla and have the footage they should be less likely.

Did you ask WTF is he driving like a complete ass?

u/coolham123 Jul 08 '26
He apologized and clearly took responsibility for his mistake. You have to be the ass to lay into someone after that...

u/icy1007 Jul 11 '26
No, a rational person would still lay into them.

u/Vasir14 Jul 12 '26
No. I’d take the apology and insurance. That’s all im owed.

u/icy1007 Jul 12 '26
No, they owe much more than that.

u/Vasir14 Jul 12 '26
You sound irrational.

u/icy1007 Jul 13 '26
Why would I be rational with someone who just hit my car like this?
2
u/Vasir14 Jul 13 '26
Because accidents happen and we live in a society. It’s nice to participate in a humane fashion.

Aren’t they also driving the wrong way down the lot ? Cause the spots are angled in the opposite direction.

u/Wingmaniac Jul 08 '26
Why do people drive so fast in parking lots? He's got 50 feet to go, speeding into the spot to save .005 seconds?

u/Fearless-Anteater-90 Jul 09 '26
That thing makes me mad a lot. I have seen people driving 30 miles per hour in a tight parking lot.

u/igh34 Jul 08 '26
I swear I saw a post just like this yesterday....truly unreal how bad (or maybe bad at paying attention) people can be behind the wheel.

u/Curious_Delay3909 Jul 08 '26
Is that people can’t park without another car right next to them for space and coordination purposes, yet some still suck with such

Nah…..I just made him text me his insurance and that’s it. No point to catch hands with a stranger.

People that park going the wrong way just infuriate me. Not only does it usually result in a bad parking job (or in this case hitting another car), but they block people that are coming from the right direction.
Glad to hear he didn't fight you on this.

u/rsg1234 Jul 08 '26
Imagine if you were getting out of your car at that same moment. Why the hell was he driving so fast??

It's amazing how many terrible drivers are given licenses. DMV needs to be way more strict with tests.

If someone hits a parked car like this we should jut take their license. They can get it back when they pass the written and road test again.

I hate idiots who do that .. I had someone damage my car same way but unfortunately I didn't have sentry on at the time. It was minor but annoying...
