However, I also object to calling her names.

I don't see where saying her behavior is disgusting is calling her names.
Coruscation said what I was thinking.

I was referring to the people in the article.

Sorry. I thought you were referring to posters here.

Actualy, one poster, though not saying the word, was suggesting a certain word, which is name calling in my book.

I think regardless of what other descriptions apply, the lady was a SS. But can we move on now? I'd hate for this thread to get locked.

I had a special snowflake today - the parkingspothogges
at the rec center there was a mostly empty lot in front of the gym/weight lifting/pool wing - and a mostly packed lot in front of the soccer field wing
A guy in a little convertable parks in the soccer lot, notices that people start to park next to him then change directions - he gets out, discovers he's about 4-5" inches at an angle over the line (the rear of his car was over the line which prevented anyone from using that parking spot) - then he walks over to the gym wing
if he wanted empty spaces by his car there was plenty of room in the other lot - where he went; but taking 2 spaces in front of the soccer wing - when there aren't that many open spaces ... ::)

Rain, I think the parking spot hog is the SS that drives me the most crazy. Last week at church I really wanted to key this person's car as it was taking up *four* spaces. Then I reminded myself that I was at church and that probably would be frowned upon.

I usually can fit my car into a space that someone has deliberately over-flowed into and I often do. It's worth it to watch them squeeze back into their badly parked car and inch out.
