But what nerve, what is wrong with these people.

Well I can understand he's mad at the world for being born without brain cells. But still he doesn't have to take it out on you. Instead he could just pretend he does have brains, couldn't he?:doh:

*I say this, and I am only 18, I am just more mature I guess

Today's youth is okay, it's just those gangsta rappers that aren't.
They've always got those attitudes of "oh look how tough I am, I killed my little sister because my pathetic gangsta boss asked me and after that I stole some brand new bling bling stuff to make my utterly small d*ck look a little larger"
:stare:
And now try to be so tough without having your guns on you. I beat your *sses so hard you won't be able to sit down for the entire rest of your pathetic little lives. Which won't be long probably, cause luckily those gangstas tend to have a rather short lifespan.:yeah:

Don't worry about those gangsta wannabees. They'll most likely live half their life in jail anyways.:88)

Back on topic, those douchbags should take lessons on an expert on parking. Check this out, my mother sent me this link from Belgium!

Now that's what I call utilising every centimetre of space :o

Anyone just taking up two spaces is just not trying hard enough.

It's always funny to me when I see someone in a car they likely think is really special taking 2 spaces. The chances that I think it's anything to right home about? Virtually zero. You know what, far away from the "good" spaces close in to a store, if I saw a DB-9, or even a nice bimer taking 2 spaces, no big deal. Instead, it's some goon with a Mitsubishi or something, really close to the store wasting two spaces. Or some SUV.

A key sign for SUVs is backing into spaces. I see many a soccer mom with 3d spacial impairment backing some SUV bus into a space—presumably because they are afraid of backing OUT after they leave. Their ability to stay between the lines seems to be small—doesn't help their truck takes all but a couple inches of the space.

About the SUV thing, I have yet to back into a space, I find it much easier to pull straight in, backing out of the parking space is easy in my mind

Every other day when I go down to the local Dunkin' Donuts, there's this REALLY blinged out DAY-GLO GREEN station wagon (and I mean BLINGED with a capital BLINGED. The thing has shiny rims, tires that look solid and are only about an inch deep, air intake on the hood, tinted windows that look jet black, always super shiny and pristine, etc...) Well, every day I see this piece of work, it's always parked next to the handicapped space ON TOP OF THOSE BLOCKED OFF YELLOW SPACES WITH THE DIAGONAL LINES ON THEM. I'll try to get a pic of it when I go down there next.

I don't think I could get away with dropping off one of those flyers from "YouparklikeanA******.com around here though. In this town that I live in, the urban "thug life" is the "social norm" and what people seem to aspire to be here. And the "thug-lifes" vastly outnumber the "non-thug-lifes". I would probably be shot or something if anyone saw me putting something on their car around here.

I dunno, I can understand the 2 parking spot thing at times. Lets face it most people are jerks who only give a damn about themselves. As such they have a tendency to open their doors and hit the side of your car in the process. Some cars, like mine don't have that side protection strip and can get dented as a result of these jackasses, and even with that strip it will still get screwed up with some people.

So sometimes I will do the 2 parking space thing, but I generally do it in the back where people aren't parking and when there is lots of space.

PS that septic truck in the first page is parked legally. Trucks of that size have to park like that as they are too long to park straight in over 4 spots. Semi trucks do that all the time in lots that don't have semi sized spaces. Now of course they are suppose to do it in the back of the lot which the septic truck seems to have done.

Eh, usually when I back in with our big-arse suburban I don't have a problem, but then again I'm not a girl ;) :shifty: My dad is insanely good at backing into any space, probably something to with 20+ years as an aviator...

Last night some friends and I were hanging out at the local massive strip mall/IMAX place near us.

Well one of my friends had to climb on to my hood and in through the sunroof, i have an SUV so i did not care. But my other friend refused too. He wanted to confront the guy.

So we wait like 10 mins, and this guy ~18 comes out and he is dressed like one of those rappers but he is white :nope: what is wrong with todays youth*? Anyway he sees us waiting and notices my door touching his car. So he starting cursing and pretending to be "gangster" my friend and him get into a verbal fight which ending with me yelling at my friend to enter my car. As we pull away, he says "yea thats right, run away you crackers"

Now I am thinking, I drive a close to 3 ton SUV, and he is in this beat up POS old small Honda. I could drive over his car! But what ever, I stopped and thought about it, and drove off.

But what nerve, what is wrong with these people.

*I say this, and I am only 18, I am just more mature I guess

If you do decide to become more immature, then turn your wheels onto full lock and move a few inches - then it's just your tyres v thin metal door and I know which would give in first :yep:, not that I've done it... yet :D

I get POed about far less than those images. IMO, if you so much as touch the line between spaces, you should have points taken off the license. Make a special cop car that drives around taking pictures like yours, and if the car is not between the lines, they get a ticket.

If you have such a large vehicle you cannot reliably get it between the lines, you're not a good enough driver to deserve it.

If someone parks and touches the line so I have trouble getting in the car, I will intentionally bang them with my door.
