I watched this for 10 minutes or so, and to think that this circus goes on all day every day, amazing.

That parking structure is about a year old, for reference. Every other surface looks brand-new :P
Good news is, at this erosion rate the curb should be gone in a couple more years

Same with most new parking lots. I get that the off set driveways and random islands are supposed to slow down and control traffic flow but I don't want to try to put my maze completing skills to use every single time I want to visit Hobby Lobby. Even worse when there is deep snow and you are not sure where the hidden curbs even are.

Hahaha, that looks like it would be fun come winter-time.
Clearly you need a winter ride:

I can see how those curb islands could be quite dangerous in the snow.

Yeah, I don't understand how cars get bigger every year and parking lot spaces seem to get smaller. In the BRZ and the 911 I freqently pull into spaces where I'm perfectly dead-center yet cannot open my doors. Thank god I do rock-climbing for a hobby and can mantle out of my car with the door cracked open eight inches or so...
Then there's the fact that most people driving their gigantic fucking cars can't even be bothered to park straight or inside the lines. I'm gonna stop typing about that shit now: it makes me too mad. I always freak out when I find someone with a big car or truck who's parked neatly-- it's so nice to see that some people still have a sense of spatial orientation / can drive.
