ASSHOLE PARKING

It was very tempting…

 

My dad’s already said that woman crossed a line since a week ago I was allowed to park there, and the spot is not marked; I’ve learned my lesson and am never gonna park there again…

Just about everyone on TW knows that I used to work as a barback at a venue called Puck that is just steps away from this parking space; I’ve known the owners since 2010 and I worked there from November 2014 to January 2019. The bar closed indefinitely for renovations in February 2019; and then COVID hit…

Anyway, this is not my first encounter with some self-righteous Karen over something on that property, and this incident I’m about to tell you about didn’t even involve parking; In 2017 or 2018, I threw something in the dumpster on the property. I had some food wrappers and plastic bottles or something in my truck, and as an employee of Puck at the time, I was allowed to use the dumpster within reason. I tossed whatever it was in the dumpster, and the next thing I know some unfamiliar woman in a burgundy Toyota Sienna is bitching at me about it being a private dumpster…

I told her that I worked at Puck and was thus within in my rights to use the dumpster; She went full Karen and was like “Do you really?” I gave her a homicidal glare, told her again that I did in fact work there, and name-dropped the owner of the property who also owned the bar where I worked, and that shut her up. I told the owner about this, she took my side, and I never had a problem again…

 

And another time in Doylestown I was walking my boss’s dog; I was on a street with no sidewalk and saw a car speeding, so I jumped up onto the grass to avoid getting hit. The owner of the adjacent house started going off on me about “how I’d better not let that dog shit in his yard.” I ended up giving him a piece of my mind and telling him exactly what I was doing, and it shut up him up…

The verdict? Doylestown Borough is full of assholes who automatically assume the worst; One of the most common issues is people who act like they caught you pissing on their mother’s grave when all you did was unwittingly park in “their” spot. I am not the only person this happens to, sadly…

 

I don't think I've ever seen a 6 post explanation for a parking spot.

 

That’s because it’s an ongoing issue in Doylestown; Unwittingly park in someone’s spot, and you may as well be pissing on their mother’s grave…

 

BRB, going to find the asshole parking thread on HighlanderWorld for the full story.

 

And it’s not Friday

 

The other spots are marked reserved.

Lady needs to get out there with some stencils and a rattle can.

 

I use random dumpsters all the time, it's kinda what they're for.

 

just flew into Chicago and my partners family was just telling me how people block off their alley with dumpsters and he has to move them to get to his parking spots in the back.

 

The way the bar looks, it was either mounted close to the bumper or has already been used once. It should have a little between cover and bar to collapse before hitting the bumper. I have a few inch gap on mine. @PennSilverTaco

 

The body shop that fixed the truck when the drunk driver hit me in 2015 installed it in July; Maybe he mounted it too far back on the frame?

Am I gonna have to it moved forward?

 

Also, can I see a side profile of your truck?

 

I will send you one sat. Ideally if you have a bull bar, you want it a bit off the bumper, otherwise it ruins the usefulness of it. The bar should absorb some of the low speed impact and bend before it hits the bumper. As your sits right on the bumper it does not provide much protection.

To be honest I use mine more for looks than damage mitigation. A lot of times it causes more damage in high speed impacts. BUT in low speed impacts it will totally save your vehicle.

 

It was uh.. More of a joke shot the wall ha but yeah you're probably he's living in the year 2050

 

I try and put myself in other peoples position to try and figure out why they would do something a particular way. I couldn’t figure out why someone would purposely want to get out of their passenger side door. He could have backed in but then people wouldn’t be able to see his Black Rock Coffee Bar decal on the back window. Verdict: probably an asshole.

 

Call a tow truck. No need to make a scene. Just have the blocking car towed. The car owner pays the tow bill.

Done.

 

You should have ran her over in the parking lot. That way she’ll get primo parking for life and to her it’s like being employee of the month for life
