Though that is annoying, that doesn't bother me as much because you don't know what that person had to squeeze into when he got there. Maybe he was behind a Suburban and the Sub left and a Miata pulled in.

 

Not me, but funny nonetheless

That's great. I should make a form letter like that and keep it in my glove box.

great thread!

i went grocery shopping and saw a new TL parked in two spots diagonally. my gf was with me and noticed it too. we came back after shopping and unloaded our stuff into the trunk...then i put the metal grocery cart as close as possible to the TL...hahaha...i'm sure they took a long time to circle the car when they came back searching for dings and dents. it didn't have a license yet; just the paper sticker.

i think next time i'm going to use that letter posted from earlier and just change it for supermarket grocery use. =)

 

Fat's a CHOICE, not a handicap!!

What I love is that they park in handicapped and then jump on one of those motorized shopping scooters compounding the issue.

Skinny people should get to park up front and the fatter you are the further out you have to park.

Now it is true that fat can lead to diabetes, heart disease, joint and hip issues, perfectly acceptable handicapped parking place issues, but the underlying prob is still the fat.


Of course not all people who park over the line had a choice. As someone else mentioned, when they parked they might not have had a choice. But once everyone else left it may have looked like they did it on purpose with their beater car.

I think the S is a car magnet. I can park 3 miles from the front door and come back to find someone parked 6" from me. They will have had 100s of other choices but choose to park close to me. Of course I may be maligning them unnecessarily, maybe they were a fatty looking for the exercise.

 

We have a bunch of people in our parking garage (medical building so 90%+ are women) who seem to have a lot of problem getting their vehicles parked between the lines. I may have to print off some of those youparklikeanasshole notes and put them on their cars.

 

It peeves me too.

But I have an overdeveloped sense of fairness.

In my mind, if cars represent their owners:
=

Obviously, pickups used for work are a different story.

 

We had one or two of those types where I work, in a packed lot. So I drafted a quick flyer and stuck it under a wiper. It had a little stick figure of a car "this is your car," the lines of a parking spot "these are the lines," and then an image of the car parked between the lines "this is your car, parked BETWEEN the lines." "Got it?"

These ones must just not have been paying attention because they straightened up the next day (embarassed I hope).

 

side note: it also annoys me when, at a gas station, there is a clearly marked entrance and exit, and people pay absolutely no attention to them, fouling up the works.
