When they park real close to your car for no reason, just spit on the driver's window real nasty.

I wouldn't chance that. Regardless of how frustrating it is.
In my neck of the woods, the car wrongfully parked will just back up all over that nice motorcycle until it's on its side and rotated enough on the rearsets for the SUV to test its all wheel drive capabilities, by running over forks and front fendor.
I've seen many a bike on its side after an angry parallel parking episode.

I guess people are more tolerant in your general area. In Brooklyn and Manhattan, I see knocked over bikes parked like that multiple times a week.

Yeah but he's saying he's parking behind his wife's car so unlikely she's going to drive over his bike.

I would hope so! Definitely safe being co-parked with a loved one. Unless she doesn't want him riding it anymore...lol

When they say "Construction zone, no parking", you should listen.

Perfectly balanced between the lines. He gets a pass. A+ for effort.

It really hurts watching this attempt at parking.

I always watch these videos and wonder if anyone has ever taught the driver how to parallel park. If you haven't been taught then it can be a little nerve wracking maneuvering around other cars. Of course this car should have been able to drive straight in and not even need reverse at all with all the space available.
In the end, some people are naturals at parallel parking while others couldn't do it to save their sole.

One would think that the inconsiderate drivers who parked on the sidewalks were the bigger morons, at least in the views of people on this side of the pond.....

Parking partially and even fully on sidewalks was a legal and common practice in Germany (And other Euro Countries) because of the narrow streets.
