[Financial News] As disputes over parking methods continue to flare up between drivers in the underground parking lots of apartment complexes and commercial buildings, a story has drawn attention after one driver said he was subjected to "retaliatory parking" for parking close to a pillar to avoid door dings.
On the 31st, a post titled "Parking Villain Legend" was uploaded to the online car community Bobaedream.
A said, "I parked close to the pillar so I could avoid door dings and park more comfortably, but in return, the other driver parked so close to the passenger side of my car that people could not pass by." He also shared photos.
The photos attached to the post show two black SUVs parked extremely close together in an underground parking lot, making it difficult to open the doors.
Parking next to a pillar is a common tip among drivers, since the space by the pillar is more likely to be hit by a door ding. By parking close to the pillar, drivers can leave more room on the other side.
However, the driver who parked beside A's car said A had blocked the walkway by parking against the pillar. As a form of protest, the driver deliberately parked tightly against the passenger side of A's vehicle, making it difficult to get in and out.
A complained, "There are all kinds of people in the world. I just can't believe it."
After hearing the story, online users reacted with comments such as, "If you park like that, it only makes things inconvenient when you get out yourself," "It would be enough to just follow common sense," and "The parking lot is wide enough, so they could have just parked normally."
