Definitely right.
I always make a point to straighten mine out, and sometimes others at the station when I dock.
Even worse is non-CaBi devices parked in front of docks. How many times have I seen scooters parked at CaBi stations? Many. Sometimes obstructing one of more docks, other times so bad as if the guy deliberately parked with anti-CaBispite in mind, as one scooter sideways properly positioned can block three docks. Sadly I see this with some regularity. And some of the scooters are heavy to move, enough to injure shoulders of the weaker among us. Not cool, scooter people.
(Scooter people parking at CaBi stations proves the point again that CaBi’s original model of stations was and is right; a system like this, as great as it is, needs predictability, meaning people want and feel the need to have designated ‘station’ areas; cannot just toss in a few thousand bikes to be parked anywhere and hope for the best).
I used to see other rideshare bikes doing this too, parking next to, or occasionally in front of, bikeshare stations. Most of these dockless guys are out of the market now, of course, but few are making a comeback, afaict all electrics.)
