If the explorer parked first, then the ST driver is an ass hat.

Just Ford drivers being Ford drivers.

Nah. More between the lines than the Explorer.

They’re both assholes, but one asshole’s only inconveniencing another asshole while one doesn’t care about who he or she inconveniences. #TeamST

ST is a complete dicksneeze, park with courtesy or park elsewhere.

Saves everyone from a confrontation.

Yeah, you’re supposed to do this with a beater, not the car you’re making payments on.

Explorer driver is an asshole for not parking in the lines and FoST driver is an asshole for parking so close to the door of the Explorer to “prove a point”

Explorer parked first, that makes the Explorer an idiot and the ST and asshole.

Especially because we have no parking lot context. Is this a prime spot right near the building? Is it in the far back corner of the parking lot? Maybe the Explorer driver knows they suck at parking so they’re courteous and park in the back corner away from people.

Maybe (like most people) the Explorer was in a rush and just screwed up. That happens.

The sad part is on matter WHAT the Explorer was doing, the ST driver was an asshole - with only ONE exception. IF it was the last spot in the entire parking lot (which I doubt) I find this acceptable. That’s the only case.

CobraJoe > P5guy now GTIguy

Ya know, there might be more information necessary to decide that.

If the ST parked there because it was the only spot left, then he had the right to park it between the lines so he could get out (something the Explorer driver didn’t think of).

But if there were many spots open and ST parked there only to troll the Explorer, then boo on the ST.

I’ll admit, I do this sometimes (Nowhwere near as close though, I just like to make it difficult for them to get in), but only when the parking lot is pretty full and that spot is left open because of a car parked over its lines.

Between all the “wrecked ST” posts I used to see on oppo and this.... I’m beginning to think that ST drivers don’t care about their car’s well being.

Party-vi > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 14:42

Assuming the ST is a manual, I would expect a broken window and the car rolled back a few feet.

Also, if the explorer was a beater car, I would be tempted to slam the drivers door into the FoST, because ¯\_()_/¯

It’s a favourite of mine.

ST is within the lines. Explorer is on the line. Call on the field is reversed, no foul on the play.

08/29/2016 at 14:50

But what if the Explorer is over the lines because there is a vehicle on the other side of the Explorer which is on the line and the Explorer didn’t want to be an ass. Need more context! Either way, unless that spot was the last one available, it’s a jerk move by the ST.

SidewaysOnDirt still misses Bowie > hike

It’s hardly ever that.

Trying to figure out what that says about you....

kidding!

Show me the other side. ST also parked as close to the right as humanly possible to further illustrate his dickishness.

He’s probably a hero on reddit though.

InFierority Complex > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 14:53

Explorer sucks at parking probably, unless another car was parked too close on their passenger siding causing them to adjust accordingly. It could happen. That said, shit happens and we have all parked badly at least once before.

ST is just a dick , the deadpool window sticker and possible vanity plate would also support this assumption.

Leon711 > random001
08/29/2016 at 14:55

Well Asshat is a bit American for me. Dicksneeze is sufficiently odd enough to crack a smile.

Urambo Tauro > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 14:56

The Explorer is parked offensively toward anyone and everyone who even thought about parking next to it.

The ST is parked offensively towards one inconsiderate driver.

diplodicus > Party-vi
08/29/2016 at 14:58

I think the ST is manual only.

random001 > Leon711

One of the guys at work uses “dicksmack” a lot. Similar responses...

Wrong Wheel Drive (41%) > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:00

This just tends to escalate things. I know if I were the explorer, I would loosen some of the lug nuts on the focus, or steal all of the valve caps, air down a tire, or maybe steal a windshield wiper.

Party-vi > diplodicus
08/29/2016 at 15:00

I’ve never been bothered to check. In that case, it should be easy to move it out of the way.

Stapleface > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:04

Parking like that is just plain dumb. The Explorer is on the line. What purpose does this serve except pissing the guy in the Explorer off? I’d find a new space, especially since I don’t want my car all dinged up. If the guy parked like a true asshat and I had a POS that was already beat, then yeah I might park like that. Otherwise, the Focus dude is just being a dick.

Leon711 > random001
08/29/2016 at 15:04

Maybe you could surprise him with the term Dicksneeze or dare I say it, Thunderc*nt.

Tripper > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:08

If I was the explorer guy, I’d hop in through the passenger door and move the car out. Take a quick look around before I put my foot into the side of the Focus, then it’s off to lunch!

jjhats > Tripper
08/29/2016 at 15:13

same.

jjhats > CobraJoe
08/29/2016 at 15:17

the st chose to park there to be an asshole and say hey dickwad learn to park. he could have been an adult and avoided this situation but he didn’t. also he claims he was only inside for 5 minutes and knew he would be gone before explorer. with all this said he still snapped a pic and posted it online saying haha get fucked dude

BigBlock440 > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:34

So many people here bitter about their inability to park between the lines that they’d take it out on the car next to them that does, holy crap you people have anger issues.

His Stigness > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:37

Because people are asshats.

CobraJoe > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:38

But was it the only spot? That means the Explorer was the bigger jerk and the ST made do.

The Explorer isn’t that big of an offender, but it really isn’t that hard to park between your own set of lines. It’s called being considerate to the other people who have to park in that lot.

Now, if there was any other reasonable space to park in, the ST would have been an inconsiderate jerk (or maybe even if he had more room to move over in the spot).

450X_FTW > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:38

Need to see a farther back photo. If the ST purposely hugged the right side of the parking spot, asshat. if he’s in the middle, not an asshat

TheTurbochargedSquirrel > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 15:41

I have no idea why the Focus would have parked like that if the Explorer was already there. That’s a guaranteed way to get door dings.

jjhats > TheTurbochargedSquirrel
08/29/2016 at 15:42

because asshole

TheTurbochargedSquirrel > jjhats

Die-Trying > jjhats
08/29/2016 at 16:15

i’d be using the rolling floor jack that i keep in the truck, and i’d help out the other guy so i had room enough to get in.......... might see how sideways i could get the car before i left...........

08/29/2016 at 19:31

so what you are saying is that you are an asshole who cant park? got it.

He’s so ashamed of driving a Focus he took the badge off. Note: I drive a Focus ST. It has all the badges.

Passive aggressive douche bag. He thinks he’s gonna teach the guy in the Explorer a lesson.

08/29/2016 at 20:16

Who knows how other cars were parked when the Explorer parked. Maybe he had no choice.

random001 > Leon711
08/29/2016 at 20:48

That last might be too extreme in my work environment, but dicksneeze may come out....

jjhats > Batman the Horse
08/29/2016 at 22:01

There is a surprising hate for that focus badge among owners. I have mine and don't mind it but so many take it off. Also the cars in Europe don't come with a focus badge so this is their equivalent of making a car eudm as fuck

I think part of the problem is the fact that the Focus badge does not line up with the ST badge.
