I saw this 'small' looking parking place, and was late to class...but my old '56 VW bus was easy to steer, and I could look almost straight down in front. (later models had more 'front' in front.) So, I eased in....back until I just gently touched the car in back, then forward (turning sharply) until I heard metal touch metal in front... then repeat...and repeat... more times than usual- maybe 10-12 back & forth- until I could see I was straight. Got out and looked--- the car in back had a pointy hood (bonnet)and my vertical rear door was about 1/4" from it. Went to front...and laughed- my front bumper had a broken mount and was wired on for safety with baling wire, but sagged. It seems that every time I went forward, that bumper slipped a tiny bit UNDER the bumper of the car in front! When I stopped, it extended under that bumper.
The car in back was last in line, so it had no issues, but the car in front 'probably' had no room to get out. That was the only time I ever found a note both congratulating me and calling me a bad name.

I always wish I'd had a camera along.
