SDS Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 How is it that someone will drive for 15-20 minutes in their car looking for a parking spot that is 50 feet closer to the store than the available ones???? Or they will sit in their car - RIGHT NEXT TO AN OPEN SPOT - while they wait for 5 minutes until the car 6 spaces closer finally leaves? Just how lazy are people that they can't just park in a spot and walk an extra 50-75 feet or so and get on with their day???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 My favorite is the "take the handicapped spot". I stand right next to the vehicle and call 911 on my cell phone. Everytime. I think I should be allowed to wound them, just so they can justify the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I park way back in left field and walk when I absolutely have to go into civilization. People are stupid and I want to not have dinged doors on my new old Jeep. AD, my dad had a phrase for situations like that. It went, "Most people carry one spare tire. Some people carry two. A few may even carry three. But no one carries four." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux of Borg Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What about when they park their car sideways and take up 3 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 These same people will happily park one mile away and crawl through broken glass to reach the front door of a Casino. Go America ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I ALWAYS park at the end of the lot and walk in... Better yet, I ALWAYS park up hill/up wind of any shopping carts! Of course, I am nuts!... PS: I ALWAYS take only 1 spot!... And I joke I heard (when you see someone parking in a handicap spot and they are running into the building): Shout: "HEY BUDDY! That sign says handicap parking... NOT MENTALLY HANDICAPPED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBillsFan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Not all handicaps are visible so dont be so quick to judge a person who parks in a handicap spot. 195178[/snapback] I think in NC being fat is justification for a handicap plate. I get so pissed. I was Christmas shopping and saw an elderly woman with a walker have to walk 50 feet to a store while three fat ass people got out of their cars after putting their little tag on the mirror and walking comfortably into the store. It's like they hide their tag until it's convenient for them to use it. Pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Parking lot pet peeve: anyone who doesn't yield to pedestrians (not that pedestrians can't be idiots too). I also can't stand the people who park beyond the end of a row as though it kept going, when there isn't really room for cars to get by in both directions. Driving pet peeve: I hate anyone who hits their brakes less than 3 seconds after cutting in front of me. The worst will cut in, hit their brakes for no reason, and then accelerate.

The handicap tag is only if the person who is handicapped is in the car. If not they are required to park in a normal spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 There's a fat guy in our building that pulls the double whammy of parking at an angle in a handicap spot. It's actually a trifecta because he has several really nice cars that he drives (Mercedes, Porche). One day last week when he had the top down on his convertible Benz, the skies darkened. The guys here were doing a rain dance hoping that his leather seats would get wrecked. Just in time, he waddled out to the car, and moved it... TO THE FIRE LANE!!! I have to remember to bring my camera to work to document this. I could start a web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an "in" joke between them to see how long they can circle the store before she says something. I hate it when you are the first car to park in a lot. The next car comes in and parks tight next to you - in an empty parking lot - and then "doors" you. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am in remission 99% of the time, it would just be a free parking sticker, so I walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
