freestyle parking

A local Wendy's has a stretch of parking lot with no lines. I think this is interesting because once somebody is parked there, everybody else seems to park in the same manner. Most people pull in perpendicularly. Today there was another guy who decided to parallel park there which puts a whole new spin on it. I always pull in at an angle because that section is really only ever approached from one direction, and I also like to mess with people. If I'm the first one there, incoming people tend to also park at an angle just because they see I did it. With enough people coming and going, this pattern I created could conceivably continue long after I've left.
