ASSHOLE PARKING

I don't miss living in a condo with a parking lot like this.

Ours had pillars every second stall. There was one to the left of my stall and one to the right of the stall on my right. I would always tuck my car right up against the pillar.

If my car was there when my neighbour came home, she would park nice and close to her pillar. If my car wasn't there, she would end up half in my stall. And it's not like she went in and out frequently; I'd have to deal with that for a day or two usually. It's like she somehow thought if my car wasn't there it never would be again?

 

Got a winch? Winch it forward a foot, winch the driver tire to the line, open it up, put it in nutral push it back in the stall by hand, because the steering wheel is locked, put it in park and lock the door. It should be centered in the spot.

 

How's he going to open it and put it in neutral?

 

Lock out tools, the car might not even be locked.

 

Because penal code 466 is only a misdemeanor, we should all carry a slim Jim on us. Take one for the team.

edit: PC466 is CA law, but I assume all states have something on the books about laypersons carrying around lock picking equipment.

 

Nobody is going to repark another persons car. Why would they? It wouldn't be much work to do those things I listed, but it would have been easier for the driver of the vehicle to center their car.

 

Jeep guys…

Actually it’s a good friend of mine at work. We tried to get the security guard to write up a bogus citation.

 

Are you OK? That’s purely rhetorical as I truly couldn’t care less between this & the EV thread. But my God it’s getting bad.

 

Need to get 4 heavy duty rough surface jack up wheel dollies. Put dollies under each tire then move the vehicles from one spot to another and turn them around to confuse the owners...

 

There's always those people who think the rules are for the other guy. The Jeep is within his marks, it's you that parked your behemoth in a compact spot.

 

what about being an asshole to someone who just had a bad day and parked kind of fucked up?

 

Meh I don't really see the problem. He's well within the lines, looks like it's a curb on his other side, and backed in so he wouldn't have his ass sticking out into the lane.

 

Problem is the space is marked for compact and he’s not. I personally don’t care but if your going to do that don’t bitch about someone else. Can’t have it both ways.

 

I’m sure you are all aware that Teslas like to record things when you get too close to them. Whenever I have to park next to a Tesla that is badly parked, which is 100% of the time, I remark how somebody with a self driving car somehow can’t get it to fucking park properly.

 

should have gotten a pic of how far that fugly F250 is sticking out into the travel lane :\

 

That's not an F150?

 

erm... haha I thought they only made the 250/350 that ugly

I saw the tow mirrors but I guess they can come on the 150 as well


actually, you're correct, took me a few minutes to actually find the grill style

F150 "Lariat" as other grills are different

 

To be clear, you're talking about the white truck that's the main focus of the picture, right?

Those aren't tow mirrors...

 

Don't they pull out? I thought that was what the crease in the middle of the black part was for, if not, then bleh

 

Not as far as I know. Even if they do, they're pretty dinky.
