You must not have to deal with narrow parking spaces and SUVs. One nice thing about my Fusion compared to the SUV I used to drive - I have lots of room to open the doors.

Good point - the same is true when comparing our Sequoia to the Avalon or Lexus, but more due to the Sequoia not having a tight a turning radius as the cars. I was thinking more in terms of parallel parking and maneuvering into a parking stall with an additional 2.4 inches.
I see your point, but then you can get an even smaller car like the Yaris and get into even more spots! ;-)
Or, get to work earlier when there are more parking space choices (something I admittedly am not good at)
Or, post pictures of the idiots who can't park between the stripes where everyone can see, like the employee lunch room in hopes of shaming them into being more considerate.
True. But I don't want a Yaris.
Something I am terrible at. Then... lots of others who use that lot drive vans & SUV's - they'd have an even more diffcult time...
Well, when one can *see* the stripes - during the winter they're often obliterated by snow.

One of my pet peeves is people who take up multiple spots when the stripes are covered by snow. It takes a lot of willpower to not key their cars or let the air out of their tires!
I hate it when people leave ~half of a car's width between their car & the one they parked next to. Esp. when they -know- the parking lot has limited space. Grrrr. But retribution... would be liable to make for a lousy work environment. The more cohesive the faculty/staff is, the better.
