Dear Driver on a crowded parking lot...

Back when I was a kid in Tahoe someone did that at the bar. My friend shoved it into the next spot with his truck. Then we went to a different bar.
 
That is sort of bullshit considering those are really niced sized spaces.

That said though someone recently beat the shit out of my front fender with a cart (luckily no paint damage but four nice creases I will have to roll out) so I can't blame the guy.

Today I parked in an end space next to grass. I was just about on the grass itself leaving a good 18-24" between my car and the space dividing line so I could come back out and load.

Some fucker parked stradling the line to make some kind of point or something. Didn't do any damage to my car fortunately.

I waited, leading against my car passenger door...some older dude (50ish?) came out and stopped in the lot about 20 yards away.

I finally asked "Is this your fucking car?"...he acted all apologetic and said 'he didn't realize'

I'll give him benefit of the doubt since it is thanksgiving. I had to tell someone else Saturday that the big blue area next to the handicapped spots are not a space. They got all irate on me. I'd not have said anything there except they pulled in about 6" in front of me as my wife and I were walking...it was a fucking K-Mart though...goes with the territory there I guess.
 
My favorite is the people with their giant trucks that park diagonally over 6 or more spots.

They tow them here in many lots especially when they pull in front.

Some rednecks will pin them in (park one in front and one behind) I always lol at seeing that.
 
Some people just think their shit stinks a little bit better than everyone else's. I think it's the universe's task to bring these people back down to earth.
 
You park like an asshole.

Reminds me of how some people park at the local Intel fab in the gravel parking lot. Maybe they don't do it on purpose - or maybe they can't park correctly without LINES - but it's annoying especially when they leave just enough room so you can't park between them and the next car.

Would the police respond quickly enough if you called and said someone was parked illegally in a handicap parking spot?

I'd say if you see this guy again - go get a few bananas and try to sneak them up the tailpipe... 🙂
 
Years ago my friends and I were going out drinking to a bar in an area with almost no parking. We cruised the lot and found nothing, the only available spots were handicapped spaces and one idiot who parked a Camaro across two spots like that. We wanted the spot, so we moved the Camaro. It's not that hard with 3 or 4 guys, you all bounce the car on its springs and on the upward rebound the car gets really light. If you do it right you can move the back end about a foot on a bounce and the front a few inches. Bounce-bounce-shift, bounce-bounce-shift. We moved the Camaro over into a single spot in under a minute and then decided to screw the guy. So we kept bouncing until we moved him into a handicapped spot.

Granted, that's something you can do in a dark lot at night, not something you can do in a crowded mall during the day, but it's something to keep in mind.

lol what?!
