You Park Like An Idiot

[Subnuts]

I like to practice my own form of vigilantism - not with bullets, but with pixels. Few things irritate more than people who park diagonally across multiple parking spaces, park illegally in handicapped spots, park down the line, park in access zones, and so on.

So enjoy these picture I've taken of people in my neighborhood parking like douchebags.

I hate it when people do that.

There's a whole site dedicated to this.

(word filter: youparklikeanass****.com, where as " **** " = hole )

Unfortuantely the picture gallery is coming up with SQL errors (at least on my machine), so that kinda kills the fun.

I hate it when people straddle between two parking stalls. They do it on purpose because they think their special. When i had a beater car, if they leave *JUST* enough room, i'd park right next to them and block their driver side door to where they can't open it.

We had a guy in our building who used to do that. He'd park his precious whatever-it-was (not an expensive, new, or especially "cool" car, either) so it was straddling two parking spaces... not only that, but he'd take two spaces right in front of the entrance (and thus closest to the door).

So I got in the habit of pulling in and parking right up next to him anyway, as though I didn't realize that I was also straddling two spaces as a result. Just parking in what looked like the next spot, doncha know. Then somebody else would do the same thing to him on the other side.

I used to love to look out my front window and see that.

BTW I was told by a relative who used to work for the building's manager that the same dude once called 911 because a utility truck went in and out of our lot on a wet day and splashed mud on his car as it passed.

I wish they were doing this here too. I hate it to see an athletic guy jumping out of his BMW, Mercedes, Porsche etc. which he had just parked on a handicapped spot.

You'd have a field day around here Subnuts...that much is certain. I've seen some corkers every summer when the tourists descend. Not that some of the more elderly residents are that much better, one of them decided to park her car in a shop quite a few years back now.

I also hate when people park like douches just so they don't have to walk an extra five feet. I work at a gas station that is actually it's own exit off a major highway(you can only get to it and leave it through the Highway in question), and we have people park in places they shouldn't all the time.


The other thing that really bugs me is during rush hour traffic, we have people speed through our gas station to bypass the traffic. I love watching our local FHP officers sit there and pull everyone that does it over.

Oh! I have a story!
Last night some friends and I were hanging out at the local massive strip mall/IMAX place near us. We went to Taco Bell(my 1st time) and I parked 1 space away from the nearest car.(Something I always do) When we left Taco Bell like 20mins later some as*hole parked less then 3inches from me!(I know this because I went to Home Depot earlier and had measuring tape in the car. 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 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
