If there's one thing in this world that sets me off, it's this! I get so damn angry when someone parks next to me, and can't even put it between the lines! Even more so when it's a minivan...damn I hate those things with a passion! Just the sight of one pisses me off, and they're everywhere!

 

I carry fake parking tickets in my armrest for such occasions.

 

Because had she simply apologized (rather than teaching her daughter to be rude) I would have let it go as a mistake.

The single ding that her daughter did was on the crease and cost over $700 to fix properly.

The next time her company will not let cars go out as often, and she will have to think twice before using such poor behavior.

 

Man, I don't understand this at all. I usually hunt out a curb spot to park against, and park as close to it as I possibly can without scratching a rim. For some reason, this seems to be an invitiation to the people with the crappiest vehicles to park partially in my spot (meaning over the lines) and there have been a few times where I see where they have at least rested their doors on my car.

It is one thing if it is somebody who respects their vehicle and they park on or just barely over the line, because you know they will respect your car just as much as theirs. I rarely see these people though...

I considered this once. I wanted to Photoshop a real-looking parking ticket and change it to a civilian issued parking ticket with my address as the return point for payment.

 

You should have jimmied your way in, and torqued a moonfish right onto the driver's seat.

I don't believe in inflicting permanent damage in these situations. My solution could easily be cleaned up with a full interior detail and copius application of Lysol.

 

100% Agree!

But if I saw this red highlighted event I would probably...... .......uh, let's just say it won't end well.

 

Just keep a few BB's handy. Take valve stem cap off offender's wheel, place BB in cap, screw cap back on till you hear a lovely hissing noise. Leave.

 

I'm a self admitted woss, but this parking situation has happaned so often with my MINI, I'm going to buy BB's, I like your approach. I just hope my fellow NAM'ers will bail me out if I get caught.

 

Love it!!!!

 

Isn't that the damn truth! Parking in an end slot anymore is just a magnet to a$$wipes.

I get mad when I see people park like this next to someone else's car. My car doesn't even have to be involved to upset me. Cops should patrol parking lots and revoke licenses or car's parked like this

 

Doesn't have to be a mini to get whapped. Mine is an X3 and I too park it near an island away from as many folks as possible and still see people almost go out of their way to whack it.

The other thing I will do is take down the license of someone who does this to another car and leave a note on the car that was whacked.

One thing I won't do is damage another's car in retribution. Kharma train always get you for that.

Call the police. Cops usually have nice cars and hate this too.

 

Ya that's a good point. Seeking retribution for something will only hurt you in the long run.

Our office parking garage seems to attract terrible parkers. To wit:



I've taken to printing out notices from this site:

http://www.youparklikean*******.com/

EDIT: Sigh. Forums appear to have messed with the link. Just replace the asterisks with that seven-letter word that rhymes with "glass bowl"...

Pretty much covers the range of crappy parking.

 

Not only would this be a dangerous thing to do to someone, but illegal also.

Lol "rhymes with glass bowl". Pretty funny site though, thanks for that

 

I'm sure the people who park so badly are also the lazy ones who don't put their shopping carts back!!!!! Nothing ticks me off more! A small breeze is all that thing needs to take off and do some damage! This commercial really is pretty accurate!

 

1. You can't call the cops unless there was damage. Parking lots are private property.

2. Never said the BB's were legal. Karma can work either way. Either it will visit you, or you are being an instrument of karma by visiting karma upon the parking idiot.

 

I would think there was damage done if a BB were in my valve stem.

Karma shmarma
Potentially killing someone by making their tire go flat seems a bit harsh. Oh, I'll rebuke your rebuke before you write your rebuke. You can't know their tire was completely flat, and they deal with it, as you slithered away. So now there is the potential that the tire goes flat as they hit highway speeds, causing a loss of control, killing the pregnant mother driving, and her 3 year old. If karma works, things don't look good for ya.

I bet that thing was a BLAST to shoot!

 

These are what I use. They are AWESOME to leave on those cars parked by idiots or jerks! It's a pack of parking tickets that say different sarcastic comments. Some are safe to use on friends or co-workers, others are perfect for drivers you will never see and don't know. They are extremely satisfying to tuck into a driver side window or under a wiper blade! One of my favorite sayings on the tickets is, "It was either this or put a crowbar through your window" Another good one is, "I used to park like this, then I turned 6" LOL!

I have a very bad hip and right leg. I park in a handycap spot when my hip is really hurting and need to open my door all the way to get into or out of my car. Because my Mini is small I have at times came out of a store or the doctors office and found a big SUV squeezed in the open space between my car and the car in the spot next to me. I then have to wait for the creep to come out and move their car so I can get into mine. The shame is that the stupid drivers of the offending cars need a handycap permit like they need another hole in their stupid heads.
I have now resorted to calling the police when this happens and not get all worked up enough to shoot some fool. The police have found two people out of the last five using a permit that does not belong to them. Both at Walmart in Port Orange. They got tickets and court dates to prove they did not steal the permits. The other three had legal permits but still recieved tickets due to illigal parking.
Calling the police is much better then what I want to do and at Walmart there is usually a cop on site.
I also have lung problems and don't walk very far without having trouble breathing.

I,m over in the VA hospital now for Two months and the VA puts us up in the Embassy suites while getting cancer treatment. I looked out one night and guess what? A stupid woman squeezed her car right in between my car and another. I caaled the cops and She was in a rental car and the permit she had was not hers. She told the cop it was her grandmothers and the cop wanted to speak to the permit owner. She was back in New Hampshire so the cop arrested her and the rental car was towed away withen the hour. I did see her in the Hotel the next evening so I guess she did not spend much jail time. All I got was a evil glare from her.

I hope this was not to long but I just can't understand why people have to park so close to a nice car and doorbang it.

 

Lack of situational awareness and extreme self-centeredness, or what I like to call "mefirstitude".

Bad parking is just one of the outward expressions. There's also those people who wait until they're at an intersection to realize they're in the right turn only lane, then stop and put on their blinker to get over. Or those people who try to bypass traffic by driving on the shoulder. Or those who can't keep their car in a lane because they're too busy staring at their phone.

Oh...and Hummer H2 owners.
