View Full Version : People can't park
I would have set something on fire just to give the firefighters a chance to practice their window breaking skills. Or maybe they just use the big fire truck to shove it out of the way?
I like how you think my friend! [Coffee]

Better let him know that he probably caught something from your door handle.
Just now. Idiot near Bellco Credit Union on 128th.
Look at how Silverado is parked. I left there asap to avoid possible parking lot altercation.

My buddy I work with is selling his F150 after less than a year, partially because he's just sick and tired of dealing with parking it, with how crowded most parking lots have been.

Yep. My CCLB truck has 169.5" wheelbase.
Gets backed in most spots, they're all so narrow.

This one irritated me simply because the parking lot was full otherwise with dozens of people circling around in hopes to find someone leaving. This was at Anschutz. The parking there can be a PITA. And this guy wasted a spot. Seems like novelty plates parking bad are common...

I could squeeze my truck in the other spot backwards...
P.S. Not defending, but sometimes you don't see what was going in in the other spot(s) next to that when he parked there... Been there.

In my ugly old dodge, I just back in & over the side curb if need be...
But only if there isn't going to be any landscaping/irrigation damages.
Guess I'm only sort of an asshole.
If I can't block a fire hydrant, or park on a giant pile of snow, I shop somewhere else.

I cant count the number of times having my own plow has been handy for making myself a parking spot in some random lot.

Not a full sized truck, not without parking on the curb or rutting out the muddy area getting ready to be landscaped.
But I agree. Who knows what the situation was when he parked like that. Maybe there was a mini cooper on the right and someone over the line on the left when he parked.
Or maybe he did it on purpose (people do that frequently at the back of parking lots as this was).
Or maybe he just sucks at backing in.
Whichever the case, it made me grumble just for a minute. But only a minute.
Why do you just assume it was a he?
Definitely looks like she-parking.

I have been known to get a little creative when parking my motorcycle but this clown just pretty much parked where people drive through the parking lot. He was on older guy so not sure if he is just full stupid or just gives zero fucks.

Why to bikes park on the sidewalks by an entrance? Everytime I see this I want to knock them over

Because sometimes if you actually try and use a parking spot some douche bag in a car/truck will hit them in the parking lot and just leave. If you park them on the sidewalk then nobody fucks them up and it just pisses off a few people who don?t ride.
Ice cream bike will park in front the sidewalk by entrance of a business, because some fools keep stealing ice cream off of it.

On average this happens a couple times a year to my old dodge - Hurried folk dropping off kids at school & apparently its a magnet for hit & runs. They usually hit the plow when its loaded (I even put cones out for that) but unfortunately they catch the bumper on occasion too, like today.
Anyhoo.. there's a scuff but agreed, no real damage.
Dont imagine I'll be AT ALL forgiving when someone hits my new Tundra. Just saying.
Going to talk to my neighbor about the resolution on their new security cameras. Hoping they adequately cover the blind spot (for my system) on the driver side by my truck & can/will hopefully help me out if & when there's a next time.
Unfortunately, there's little to no preventative options here. Parking is a premium & frankly, most people can't park dammit. It's called sa & tail swing people - sheesh.
Bloody annoying.

They parked well, though.

It was a chick Ray. Well done. : P
So years ago I was walking up to a Walmart in Lexington, Kentucky and a woman in an immaculate, jet-black HUGE SUV (Expedition or Suburban?) turned a corner in front of the store and struck a parking lot bollard with the left front fender.
Her solution to the problem? To floor it, dragging the bollard across the entire left side of the car, from stem to stern. I was completely gobsmacked as this unfolded right in front of me.
I can still almost hear the several seconds of rending metal.
O2
I was at a small gas station once. The way the pumps were arranged it was a tight squeeze getting a full size truck on one side of the pumps. Watched a guy with a truck pulling a big camper try to pull in on that side. Drug the side of the camper along the bollard until he caught the first tire and blew it out. As he got out to investigate what he had just done all I can remember is his wife just chewing him out.

I was in San Francisco in the Seventies looking at Lombard Street when a large Cadillac went down.
It hit each of the curved concrete walls, scraping the sides and knocking off the door handles.
Never Stopped!
One of the residents came out to see what the noise was and calmly commented it happened 2 or 3 times a month.

Somewhat related to parking, though wish I had a pic. I could probably pull the dashcam video.
Went to get gas this morning. I'm pulling up but a car is in front of me. There are no cars in the lane we're both going for, and two pumps on that side. The woman driving decides to stop at the closest pump instead of pulling up to the farther pump. What the hell... a few choice curse words come out of my mouth, so I pull around and back up. I love backup cameras, I got with 6 inches of her car. Honestly, I'm not sure she even noticed. Total main character syndrome coming off her the entire time. I wanted to pimp slap her father for not teaching her how to get gas and not be an asshole.

And no, this isn't because there was snow on the ground when they parked.

Yhea, we've talked about handicapped areas before. Sometimes you need to park in the hashed area. I know I have to allow room for my mom to get out.
