Parking Crisis on the Lookner Channel
A relatively short live stream video entitled “Parking Over The White Line: World’s Worst People” is now on the Lookner channel on YouTube.
The video takes place in the parking garage of apartment building that Steve Lookner lives in. The noisy road plate crises of some of his earlier videos has been fixed, but there is now a new crisis. For a second straight time, the car parked in the spot next to Steve’s parking spot has parked a little bit across the white parking spot separator line.
Steve explains how he has an assigned or reserved parking space, but the one next to his spot is not assigned parking, so it can have different people parking in it at different times. He says that the previous user of the parking spot next to his had left the car parked across the line for several days, and now the latest user has done the same thing, as he’s showing us.
He thinks it’s very disrespectful for somebody to park like that. He even shows the other side of the parked car, showing that there’s room on that side. Steve says he would never park like that, and if he accidentally did, he would back out and try parking again. Even if the car tire is only partially over the line, the side mirror extends into his spot’s air space.
A viewer asks in the live chat if Steve thinks it’s worse than the steel plates. Steve explains that it’s different. He doesn’t consider the steel plates a personal attack on him directly, while the parking situation is. He indicates that it feels more personal than the road plates, which affected the entire area.
Another viewer suggests that maybe it’s because of the structural concrete pillar on the other side. Steve suggests that drivers shouldn’t park in a space near a pillar if they can’t handle it, and names the other driver “Overly-Cautious Chris”.
Steve explains how somebody who parks like that must not care about other people at all. It even makes him feel like a non-person. There’s just no excuse for it. Such people must be among the worst people in the world, according to Steve.
I can understand why Steve would be frustrated by this situation. It isn’t as bad is it could have been, but it is unnecessary. Also, I think this may be the first live stream video I’ve seen filmed in a parking garage!
