This is a question for people who have two-car garages (or a two single garages) and who also sleep with a spouse in a double (or full, or king) bed. If you sleep on the left side of the bed, do you also park in the left spot of the garage?

There are people who put cars in their garages?

It’s a little used feature of America’s favorite storage space.

Why do people not use their garages????

Because they’re full of STUFF. Washing machine, dryer, beer fridge, work bench, tools, fabric, craft supplies, lumber, extra tile for the bathroom floor, all the kids’ sports equipment, camping gear…

at least, if I had a garage, that’s what would be in it. Haha

In Alaska, in the winter, if you have a garage you want to put your car in there to avoid the cold.

I don’t always share my bed, but when I do neither of us has a side. He kind of sleeps in the middle, and I try to fit into any space he leaves me…I imagine it would be the same way with a garage.

Where I used to live, in a townhouse neighborhood, overnight garage parking was a requirement. During the day you could park outside (unloading groceries) but at night…

My wife sleeps on the right and I’m on the left. My toys are on the right side of the garage while her car (toy) is on the left. I so wish I had the whole garage for my shit. She has the whole walk in closet for her stuff. Next house will have a detached garage, I’ll build the damn thing if I have to.

Well I park on the left side of the garage and sleep on the right side of the bed.

Hmm, still too small a response for a statistically valid sample.

Looking out?
Left side of the bed.
Left side of the—-storage—- garage.

If it makes a difference? I have the farthest—-storage—- garage bay from the door, and the nearest bed-spot from the door.

Just to confuse the issue.

Lol. I love this question. I park where I can swing my door without much worry, or we park depending on the length of the space in the garage. The truck needs more space.

The door swing has to do with the fact the I sit closer to the steering wheel, might be wearing heals or a skirt, and am usually carrying at least my purse when I get out of the car. I’m juggling all sorts of shit, and it’s more difficult for me to worry about hitting something when I exit or get into the car.

@Seek Some states are better at using their garage than others. FL we have no basement, so a lot of people use their garage for storage. In northern states it’s a little better, because of basements and not wanting to clean the snow off of cars. Although, still, many garages across America are full of junk and not cars. My husband stereotypes Americans as using their garage as storage space.

It’s too confusing. Left side when in the bed or facing the bed at its foot? The same holds true for the garage! Easier to state the same side of the bed or garage. The answer is that the wife always arranges matters such that her side of the bed is closest to the bathroom.

My husband sleeps on the left of me in bed. He is very fixed on this. I am very fixed on which side of people I walk beside. It has to be my right. So we walk together one way and sleep together the other. We don’t have a double garage. We do have a double car width garden but one side is Tarmac and the other stone chippings. The Tarmac is the preferred side for both of us.

Your husband should always walk on the street side, @Stinley. It’s traditional! What if a buggy splashes horse doodoo on your street-length dress??

My husband walks on the street side.

As he should, @JLeslie, as he should.

What a gent @JLeslie. I only wish I was less ocd and could insist on mine being one!
