Ever wanted to leave a note for a rude parking job?

I saw small business cards at a Spencer's Gifts long ago that read: "I hoe you don't f*ck like you park, because you'll never get it in."

 

There was a guy, at a plant in MA, who used to arrive early and park a big old Ford sedan across four parking spaces -- basically, paying no attention to the marked spaces at all. There wasn't a lot of spare parking at that plant, so one car in four spaces was massively inconsiderate.

I decided I'd give a subtle hint: a coloring book and a box of crayons, with a note reading, "Practice staying between the lines.".

To my dismay, I couldn't find coloring books in any of the stores in MA. Just "scribble pads".
I guess "staying between the lines" is now considered "too conventional", even for kids.


The other day, I took a quick trip to the store for supplies. When I came out, there was a big beat-up SUV/minivan parked at an angle, crossing half into my parking space. (It hadn't hit me, or the driver would probably have moved to another space rather than staying there.) Since I know where my corners are, I was able to get out.
But I was looking at the two bumper stickers on that beat-up vehicle, proclaming "my child is an honors student", and I thought,
Obviously "driver's ed" wasn't one of the high grades.

 

This is one of my pet hates,,,I think Facebook has a group dedicated too this,, some fab photo's on it.................

 

LOL. I AM the rude parking job. Especially in a tight space. Seriously, though, I do think it's rude to take up several spaces unless you're in a large lot with plenty of space. Also hate it when you're in a crowded parking lot and you think you've finally found a space only to see a single motorcycle parked there.

 

I know someone who has a beat up old Chevy truck that specifically squeezes in next to these people so that they have to get in their car on the passenger side.

 

I hate when you go to the very back of the parking lot and park in a nice end spot(just one space). Empty spaces all around. When you come back some a hole is parked right next to you.

 

"... who can afford having his car keyed mercilessly."

I don't understand the angle parking thing. It only protects your paint until someone decides they think you're so much of a dew shabag, that you need a new stripe down the side of your car...

 

I've often considered getting some bumper stickers that say. "*******." I plan to put those on the windshield of cars that are parked across several parking spaces. That way the driver of that car can feel my pain as he or she scratches the bumper sticker off the windshield with their finger nails. Even if the carry a razor blade it will still take enough time so that they can consider the error of their ways, unless of course their temper has taken over, as it did for me when I had to keep looking for a parking space.

You can get bumper stickers from an ad in the back of Rolling Stone magazine if you should decide that this idea suits you too.

 

I have submitted a picture to that website, though I'm not sure if they put it on.

I once actually got a note from a girl saying "you parked too close to me and I had to climb in my passenger door." SHE was parked like an *********! In a VERY crowded lot with no empty spaces she parked her damn Camry waaaaay over the line into the next space. It was like the only spot left in the lot, so I crammed my car in within a couple of inches of her driver door and had it right evenly spaced between my lines. Glad I pissed her off.

 

that explains everything....a freakin' Camry driver.

I think if you go into a Toyota dealership to buy a Corolla or Camry, you should automatically lose your driver's license for life.

 

....keys do more than unlock doors.

 

I'm a little down on that sort of vigilante justice. After all, we don;t hold anyone responsible in a criminal or a civil action for a wrong done, no matter how damning the physical evidence, without giving them an opportunity to be heard and an impartial hearing. Keying a car because it is parked improperly seems to sidestep lots of important things. You are the person wronged, the persion gathering and weighing the evidence, trying the case and dispensing punishment, you might be selective in your vision, biased in your judgment and disporportunate in your retribution.

And you should not claim that in this case guilt is crystal clear, every biased person thinks, believes, that their conclusion is crystal clear.

Also, I can;t imagine anyone owning a Ferrari advocating or appreciating keying a car for a wrong done because the Ferrari owner is suffering so much more punishment for the same infraction (imagined or real) than other car owners. Parked in too tight to get out? key the Camrey in front of you and the Ferrari behind you and feel vindicated.

 

They start ignitions after knuckling words "Death Soon" into dustycardust.

 

Just get a few of these and keep them in your car. Slap one on the back of the offender's car. Might be hilarious if they don't notice.

There are quite a few good ones on that site. The "Paycuts for Cops" one could be a real problem for someone if they drive around without knowing it is on their car.

 

So we have several jerk-offs here who would key a car because a person cannot park straight or tried to protect their car's paint job? Really great comment on human nature. Anybody who would key a car deserves to be gutted.

So there's no misunderstanding, I've never keyed a car. Only scribbled love note in dust.

 

Anyone who would "gut," i.e. eviscerate / disembowel someone for keying their car should be (and probably would be) imprisoned for life.

C'mon, do you seriously advocate murder to avenge relatively minor damage to propety?

If so, your priorities aren't just twisted, they're inverted.

 

Mr V- Get near my car with a key and ill intent and find out. People who key cars are scum without whom the gene pool would be vastly improved. If you think keying cars and "minor propery damage" is no big deal, you are part of the problem.

Wax- I already knew that.

I went to lunch about 6 months ago with a friend in a 430, he took the end spot and I took the next spot over. We arrived very early so we were the only 2 cars in the lot. When we came out there was a car parked around 4 inches from my car. There were only a couple other cars in the lot with ample parking available. I thought about hanging around or going back into the restaurant and having the manager locate the driver. I ended up entering the Scud through the passenger door. Decided to take the high road.

 

We had one fella come out to eat where I was working one night in his little riced out S2000, where he parked over 4 spaces. He thought he was a big deal, evidently.

When I finished my shift, I left the little note below:

"All staff have called you an ass**** at one time or another tonight. Your service sucked for a reason. Act human and you'll be waited on by one. -Management."

I don't take generally poor parking personally. I've seen situations where a whole row is askew and the only way to park is crooked, then came out and I was the only ***** parked like an idiot. However I drive rental cars almost constantly so I am happy to park within my lines and within inches of another car, even if it means I have to climb out my passenger side. It actually gives me joy to mess with people who don't know how to park. No damage and I think they learn. And if they beat up my rental I have the coverage.

 

I think if I parked on the dark side of the Moon, I'd come out to find two lunar rovers parked next to me --- one with a banged up fender.

My guess is that they're hoping their &#!%box will learn something from a Ferrari, by proximity.

But I have figured out that leaving empty spaces around your car means you have no control over who parks next to you.
Or worse, who might try and then go elsewhere after running into you.

Now I just try to park next to the cars someone has been taking care of.

Saves trouble for both of us.
