Ever go to, say, The Olive Garden at lunchtime, and there's this gigantic parking lot which is nonetheless packed to the gills, because the Olive Garden is for some reason a mecca for people who eat lunch.
Anyways, as you troll up and down, searching for a spot, there's always one or two assholes who have parked their giant-size Hot Wheels diagonally in two spots, because their tricked-out Honda Civic is so very, very precious that they cannot risk someone scratching it.
Now, if I owned a franchise where this happened on a regular basis, I'd have a towing company on the premises every day at noon to help themselves to any car that tried this. Since this never seems to happen, I know some people (no, it wasn't me in my rusty 85 Tercel, no way, no how, never me, uh-uh) who drive85 Tercels rusty old cars that purposely scrape their shitbox car along the edge of such egomobiles. I would never do such a thing, but it's been known to happen, and I can't say as I feel much sympathy for the owners of the tricked-out shitbox-in-waiting.
But leave it to the geniuses at XKCD to come up with this bit of brilliance. It would take a bit of engineering skill and heavy equipment to pull it off, but we can all dream, can't we?
