Here's another approach to stupid people parking... TAWANDA! You better have good collision insurance though.

Or, how about grown adult pulling up beside you at W. and opening the door and hitting your car while your waiting inside:mad:, then moseying into the store.

My favorite: someone pulls in across from you and pushes a shopping cart out of the way and it hits your vehicle while you're in it! 30 ot 6.:mad:

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

I pulled into a double parking space with my boat, bought some ice, and when I pulled out the car next to the trailer had 2 doors opened against my trailer so they could load 1500 lbs of horse food in it. Needless to say, I took one of them off with the boat trailer fender, and it was deemed my fault.


John,

Accident or on purpose? I would love to have seen their faces. :eek:

Accident. Felt about like hitting a possum. My wife didn't even feel the bump.

The broad that owned the car about went berzerk. After I got her calmed down, we took care of business, got her an appointment with my insurance adjuster to get her car fixed, feed loaded in the car, put her in the drivers seat, and tied the door back on with a couple of dock lines so she could get home with the horse feed.

I lost a 20 year old clearance lamp and put a small nick in the rub rail of the boat. (and of course, lost the dock lines)

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

I have an 88 jeep pick up that I love to drive for this reason. I fabricated a nice steel bumper from scrap industrial shelve tubing along with a hitch. Well, over the years I have been rear ended several times. So you can say along with the age and crook-ed but (still)straight bumper you might say its looks has a bit of additude. I can park it anywhere...lol....the bumper bothers folks but it works even better now protecting the rest of the vehicle..:)

I have an 89 Jeep Comanche. Great running lil truck.
I do see ppl leave PLENTY of room when parking next to my work truck.
No worries.

Bottom line.......if ya have a nice car, park in the boonies. This girl has no clue. Still wondering why she had to have "that" parking space, not one of the empties next to it.
but like I said she has no clue.

Read quote #2 below...........

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

Last week wife and I were stopping for fuel at the gas station as we were leaving the lake. I have my travel trailer behind me so there is verry limited places to pull into. Any way Im pulling in and this RV Cuts me off. I was a little bugged but I let it go. So I watch this guy pump his fuel then he gets in his camper and nothing its just sitting there. after about five minutes i walk over and ask his wife if the could move and she tells me that we will have to wait cuz her husband is taking a shower. Boy was I Mad.

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

I fuel our boat up at the same convenience store. It is always busy. I have a long bed quad cab pickup, and my boat trailer is approx 26' long. I have to wait to pull up, and I block 2 pumps, BUT as soon as I am done I pull up to another part of the parking lot, and ice my coolers down.

Yesterday, Eminem is in his Caddilac Escalade in the pump in front of me. I pulled up to one pump equal to my truck, but my boat was way back. I had to wait for him to pull out before I could fuel up. He never fueled up. He talked on the phone for a good while, then went into the store. I figured he was prepaying and going to fuel up. He comes back with a soda, and gets in and starts another cell conversation, still no fueling. I started revving my diesel truck, because it's straight piped and loud when given the skinny. I'm staring right at his GF in the passenger seat. Finally, I jumped out, to ask him if he planned on moving anytime soon, he threw it in reverse and took off.

Yeah, ol Vanilla Ice was just messing with me I guess...

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

When I see a car parked in the middle of two spaces so no one will ding the doors, unless it is a restored classic, I sometimes leave a note "Your car isn't really all that special to need 2 spaces."

But I don't park near someone I might make mad.

i prefer to leave a note that says "sorry i scratched your car" even though i didn't they go crazy looking for the scratch,.

Re: Was on the way to the boat when I saw this..

I was parked at a wal-mart waiting for my wife.

I'm about 1/2 back in the parking lot sitting on the tail gate of my truck havin a soda.
I see this real nice Cuda pull through, Drops his girl off and rumbles though the parking lot past me and parks. No cars around him any where. He gets out and starts to wipe the chrome on the car. Out of no where an old pos car pulls up and parks right next to the Cuda.

I hear the guy politely say there is a whole parking lot can you move your car? This guy didn't say a word and walked off. I couldn't believe it, The guy in the cuda gave him the finger and moved his car.

Gotta love the wal-mart types.

POS parked near a Cuda. Where the finger smilie when you need it...

I gotta love this. I always park as far away from the building and walk in. As I do. You seems to pass all those people in a rush that were behind or in front of you driving in waiting for a spot in front. Seems when I come out there are now other people parked right around me. I always park were there is no one else around and plenty of spots to the crunched bunch near the door.

And the angle park jobs get boxed in too. :rolleyes:
