ASSHOLE PARKING

I (publicly) feel bad about even thinking about laughing about this ^^^.


... but privately

 

What a slap in the face to Prius owners.

 

They drive too slow, they don't signal when they turn, and they attempt to keep you from passing; There are exceptions to the rule, but from what I've seen they're generally obnoxious. I do remember that you and your wife used to have a Prius, but like I said, there are exceptions to the rule and you were one of those exceptions...

 

Drivers of older Nissan Altimas are even worse; I've encountered more aggressive drivers in 2002-2012ish Altimas than any other car. One time in like 2016 or 2017, there was this guy in an Altima of that year range riding my ass in the left lane; I would have gotten over, but there were lot of people in the right lane. I brake-checked the guy, and as soon as the right lane cleared up he roared up next to me at a red light and started screaming "You got a problem, bro? You got a problem?!?!"

It was young guy with a beard, probably in his 20s; It was warm out, so I had the windows up and the A/C on, and I was also jamming to Tom Petty. I simply turned the radio up, continued to look straight ahead, and didn't engage; He gave up and sped off as soon as the light turned green.

 

I think I've posted pictures of this before, but my parents' house is located right at the entrance to a culdesac; For some reason, when someone has a party or is getting work done on their house, people like to park direct across from our driveway...

My neighbor was getting an in-ground swimming pool installed in like 2017-2019; One of the workers parked their shitbox late 1990s Camry in that dubious spot. When I back out of my driveway, I go straight back and the cut the wheel to the right; It was early in the morning, I was going to work, and I was not fully awake...

My truck has a backup camera, but I was just on autopilot, and I backed into the Camry; My truck was not damaged, and the Camry was so beat up that I couldn't tell if I'd damaged it. Nobody came to running out screaming, but I'm sure someone saw since I just stood there staring at the Camry for several minutes. I made an executive decision to just leave and notified my neighbor who the owner was working for about it later; The owner of the Camry started parking in the culdesac after that incident and I never heard another word about it!

 

More recently, probably in the last month and a half, I got into it with my next door neighbor's daughter's drunk boyfriend after he parked the daughter's Mazda in the same spot the Camry had been in (He was so sober when he parked the car); I came out to get in the truck and meet some some friends at a movie, which I was already running late for, and saw the sort of familiar Mazda in that infamous spot...

The neighbors were having a party in the backyard, and I asked them who owned the white Mazda SUV; I forget whether it was the daughter's or the boyfriend's, but I got a lot of shit from the boyfriend, who'd clearly been drinking.

I demanded that the car either be moved or risk getting back into; Still-sober daughter was sent out to move the Mazda and wasn't happy about it, I made it to the movie on time, and my neighbors who own the house apologized for both the car being parked where it was and the boyfriend's behavior...

 

Lol I just bought a Prius V for my DD. IMHO Volvo drivers are the worst. Always out of blinker fluid and think they are indestructible.

 

Volvos are safe vehicles, but no vehicle is indestructible!

 

Out here in Cali it’s the Audi and bmw drivers

 

I've been in socal all my 50 years. Audi and BMW come with full blinker fluid tanks most of the time.

 

You should see them up here in the Sierra when they think their AWD is superior in the snow. Especially the Audis. Lol

 

No blinker fluid?

 

I feel it’s the Camry’s and rav 4 here in so cal

 

I've been saying this for a while now!!

 

The problem isn’t the vehicle’s capability. It’s the driver’s gullibility. They see a commercial and think they can just buy the vehicle and do Paris to Dakar.

Heck that fellow Matt makes a living off folks like that. I cannot count the number of new, capable four wheel drives I’ve pulled out of the local desert.

If they adjusted tire pressure and learned how to drive off road they’d have motored on through.

 

Just stay the hell out of the fast when lane when I'm coming up on you in the M3.......

 

Not a busy parking lot but still. Taking up two spots, and parked 3-4 feet from the curb.

 

Ugh, that paintjob.

Does he miss his 1974 LTD wagon?
