You know it and we see it on a daily basis, someone parks over the line, takes up 2 spots, and the like. So here's your chance to remind those who do it that their lack of talent transcends into assholism the moment they stop caring about how their poor parking skills affects everyone else.

It's simple, you just tick a few boxes and leave it on the car. Assuming the offending parker has internet access, they can visit youparklikeanasshole.com and learn all about their problem.

Have fun!!! [laugh]
Here are the downloadable notices:

I love it!! Can I get a stack of 500? They'd be used up by Thanksgiving!! [bang] Too bad there isn't a "you drive like an asshole" card that could be shot out of a dart gun and suction cupped to their window as they zoom by! [thumbsup]
LOL - just download the PDF notice and start printing them off!! [laugh]
Funny, I was just thinking about posting this site a couple days ago... It's actually been around a long time. They did a redesign no so long ago - the diagrams are a nice touch. I might have to make a holiday color themed version of their PDF... hmmm
You park like a DERBY!

It's funny...but not... [laugh]

i like to park in the space with the nice cars when they do what the ferrari does.
afterall, if they like their car that much they normally won't hit your bike at that point and will just pull out. i would totally park on the passenger or driver side in the spot next to the ferrari with a motorcycle.
Then do you go inside and complain that somebody parked too close to your bike and you are afraid of scratching their car, and you think it should be towed? Hmmhmm? Yeah, you know it sounds like a good idea. Not that I would want to have somebody's car towed.

We used to turn our wrestling coaches Yugo 90 degrees in the parking space. Good times!
Just a reminder about this site. In the past 7 days I've seen some of the most moronic parking jobs and each time I realized having one of these notes would have been....nice.
Instance 1
While attending a bike night, a 30 something year old guy pulls up in his orange Lamborghini Gallardo, takes 3 tries to back it up into a spot (never actually getting it into a single spot) that's actually right in the middle (of course) of where the motorcycles were parking.
....a$$hat.
Instance 2
At a nearby gas station, a 60 something year old guy pulls up in his riced out Vette and takes up 2 spots (literally parking his car on top of the split line for two spots). He and his wife get out and walk away like they didn't even notice. [bang]
Gotta say, I was pretty pleased to put one of these on a car window at a local shopping plaza last weekend. It was the first time I used one, but some A-hole parked his car in a clearly marked "Motorcycle Only" parking spot.
Nothing says "you park like an asshole" more than that!!
I've got to get some of those. It's one thing to park your car (nice/expensive or not) taking up a couple of spots away from everyone else given the mass of door dingers in this town. But doing it in close in the middle of a crowded parking lot is being an asshole. What really pisses me off more are the people that park in handicap spots when they are not and those that use the "take away only" spot reserved in front of restaurants when that's not what they are really doing. There's a favorite restaurant that my family likes to get take out from and it's in a crowded/popular area. The one spot they have reserved by the door for take out customers is ALWAYS occupied and most of the time I go in and I am the only take out customer! The bar tender says he hears that complaint from take out customers every single day.
Again, I need a big stack of those You Park Like... slips!
you guys really should be handing out swift justice instead of flyers.

I'm going for the passive aggressive action as opposed to the smash and bash of good ol'buford.
you can still leave a passive aggressive note afterwards pretending you are a second person:
"saw the smashed tail lights. looks like you won't be too worried about a door knick now, better park in just one spot"

...people's stupidity just pisses me off anymore. I'm starting to think that stupidity is a genetic problem in dire need of correction.
You can't fix stupid or lack of common sense.. we're all doomed..
Ex: in my work garage, a lot of us park our cars where our trucks go.. guy in my row has the right side last spot.. he parks his car and truck in a way that some times it hinders others from passing easily. I'm 2 spots down from him.. I've left numerous notes stating to park right.. hasn't worked yet.. I even moved his truck up to the right position and thrown his keys so he has trouble finding them.. still nothing.. I've driven behind him once while on our way work... I had to shoot around him just to be on time.. idiots will be idiots..

Hmm beg to differ. I saw a contractor van parked near perpendicular to the rest of the cars, across two handicapped spots with the corner of his bumper impinging on a third. That might be king asshole.

...ok, I'll give you that one! [cheeky]
i have never done this, but i have heard of people parking on the drivers side so close like in the ferrari picture so that the driver has to then climb through the passnger side to get in.
of course the person that did this usually has a really crappy car so there is no way the ferrari owner would purposefully door the other car and damage their car.
its annoying if people just would park courteously and make an effort not to damage other people's cars this stuff wouldn't be necessary at all.
I have always wanted an old, large junked out car just to make the beast with two backs with asshole drivers/parkers. Any large American made 4 four sedan or wagon made in the early 70s would do... Caddy, Buick, any GM or Ford. It's got to be really beat up and rusted. Just like sbrguy said, no one would dare mess with you or your car figuring your sled got that way honestly and with a lot of hard work and there is no way you'd waste money insuring it! It would better than a M1 Abrams tank!! [laugh]
a couple of weeks ago, this doucher blocked my garage at apt. I could not leave until 2pm. I had the apt mgr call the tow company but they were busy with a 7 car pile up. he lucked out and got his car before the tow company. I wish I had printed this instead I had to leave a sticky and something something....
The guy tells me that the previous night he did grocery and forgot he left the car blocking my garage.

Does that in any way imply that he said he was sorry?

Well I saw his car in the complex and followed him. As he parked his car, I parked right behind him and knock at his window. He seemed a bit dazed. I asked him wtf is the matter with him. He just said sorry but he seemed a bit dazed. I just told him that karma will get him back. It just wasn't worth getting into it with him.
He on da drugs.
