There is someone who works at the office next door to mine who simply cannot pull his/her car into a parking space at the proper angle. This person used to own a biga$$ Caddy, now it's some kind of ginormous SUV.

The parking spaces in our shared lot are spacious enough to allow either vehicle to pull in straight and be completely within all the painted lines but this doofus just doesn't care. Every single time either the front or back end of the vehicle has one wheel/corner over the line into the next space because this person just pulls in at any old angle and then leaves it there. Sometimes a front corner is jutting into one adjoining space and a back corner is jutting into the space on the other side. :nope:

Considering that the lot is essentially empty when he/she arrives in the morning, there really is no excuse. It's not like some other vehicle is making it impossible or difficult to maneuver the thing properly into the space.

It's all I can do not to key the thing on my way past every day. What I'd really like to do is get someone else to pull straight into one of the adjoining spaces, as close to the offending portion of the vehicle as possible without hitting it. Then I'd pull into the space on the other side, doing the same to the opposite "corner" of the car. Thus making it impossible for this moron to go either forward or back without hitting one of us. So far it hasn't happened, but I can dream.

This thread feels like girl-related,
 

:O:

I wonder what the chances of seeing that car in New Haven are...I swear I have seen such a vehicle.

My friend Rocky lost a leg to an infection fifteen years ago. He was formerly athletic. Now he's sixty-two, wears a prosthetic, drives a minivan and...

...absolutely refuses to get a handicapped sticker or use a handicapped parking spot. When one of us asked him why, he replied "Why should I? I can walk. Those spots are for people who really need them!"

Reminds me of a friend's father - in his early 80s he was still working part-time, as a driver for one of the local medical labs. Going all over town, picking up specimens and dropping off supplies.

His kids were concerned about him spending so much time behind the wheel in heavy traffic areas, on the highways, etc. They gently suggested that maybe he could find another type of job if he still wanted to work. He asked what they had in mind. Someone mentioned applying to be a greeter at the new Wal-Mart opening up nearby.

He was shocked and insulted because, as he said, "that's for old people!"

:rotfl2::rock:

Not a great place to park I reckon :hmmm:

That's fantastic. :haha:

Are the Newcastle Police in action...
 

:hmmm:

This actually happened to one of my colleagues (not this actual photo) so he arrested the Traffic Warden for 'threatening a breach of the peace'

The situation soon turned messy and a face saving end for both parties was agreed....the ticket was cancelled and the cuffs were removed :DL

I hope that the police had no injuries.
 

yes, there are many nuts :yep:

Hey, hey, hey what are you talking about? If you see "athletic guy jumping out of his BMW, Mercedes, Porsche etc. which he had just parked on a handicapped spot" he has every right to be parked at that spot. He is suffering from "very small penis" (can I even say the p-word here in subsim, oh hell it's in English dictionary after all). That is as bad (if not worse) disability than any other... :nope:

I was licensed to drive the D-10 when I was in the military. Talk about power! There were two choices equally available to the D-10.

1. Go through it
2. Go over it

The D-10 really did not care which. Most of my time was with the D-7 and 9, but the times I worked the D-10 were fun. :yeah:

With those two choices... I'd be a happy camper. :DL

That D-10 looks like a bit of a monster....wouldn't have minded having that close at hand on the odd occasion :DL

Hey, that gives me an idea. :hmmm: I have an uncle who works for a CAT distributor. I wonder if he'd swing me a ride in one sometime. :)
