It happens to me whenever I go grocery shopping. I usually go late at night, to miss the crowds, and park as far away from other people as possible so I can get my huge Ford door open wide when I come back to load the stuff in. Of course, some ****weed is parked about a foot and a half from my door so I can barely squeeze myself in the door. So far I've managed to avoid doing deliberate damage to the offending vehicle...

regards

Somebody with some connections needs to add that phrase to the Urban Dictionary.

I find it amusing that someone intentionally parks next to someone who intentionally parked to avoid someone parking next to them. It's funny when the obvious, "I'm parking here to **** you off," vehicle is there. In some cases, it’s better to park like the average Joe than park like your truck/car is made of crystal.

I park in a parking deck that is full every day. I am lucky just to get a spot that I can pull into easily as most of these spots are very narrow. Also, it is very hard to back out of most of these spots. The designers of the deck obviously didn't have full size pickups in mind when designing the deck.

I drive the Samurai to work and am not overly concerned who parks next to it. My truck, when I put it in a lot somewhere, is always in the back of beyond. I figure I need the exercise and it's safer out there. Occasionally some jerk parks on top of it but usually I'm out there by my lonesome. When said jerk parks too close, I accidentally leave my shopping cart directly behind his/her vehicle so they have to move it before they can go anywhere or run into it if they aren't paying attention...my bad

This stuff happens to me every once and awhile. I try to park like 50 miles away from everything... and you know, that idiot has to park right next to me. Almost like there is no other parking spaces on the rest of the lot.

I've got to try that shopping cart trick... the last time someone parked like 3 inches away from me, almost to the point where I couldn't get into my vehicle, I accidently left a decently empty tire foam aerosol can under one of his wheels, as it was pretty empty, I got a hammer and beat it while holding down the spray button so the tire would catch it, and not roll away. So I got in my truck, after placing the semi-flattened spray can under his rear wheel of his Suburban, and move a few parking spaces away. I sat there and I watched him in his truck, and I watched him run it over. When he did, it sounded like a gun shot!! He quickly got out of his truck and was trying to figure out what had happened.

He never parked next to me again!

Whenever I see some jackass with a mercedes or hummer taking up four spots in a crowded lot I park as close as I can to them. I dont give a **** what your driving, one space per vehicle (unless you have an RV or trailer). I also tend to do the old shopping cart trick to them

I hate the parkade at the arena. No matter how I park the mirrors are always over the lines, and if theres another full-size in the space behind me its almost impossible to back out.

A friend did that to a kid's Civic... attached his winch to a heavy duty tow chain and wrapped it around the rear suspension (through the rear control arms) and pulled like 40 feet.

Why might you ask? It's his business and it's his parking lot, with a sign that says, "Parking lot is private property. No Trespassing. Parking only intended customers. No Overnight or Semi Parking. Vehicles towed at owner's expense. Not responsible for damages to towed vehicles or vehicles parked in parking lot. Park at your own risk." '

So anyways, back to the Civic, since it was stick Civic, and he was pulling it from the rear, the front wheels were dragging, and then you heard like a loud "clack" and the front wheels started moving. Looks like something broke up there.. haha

Too bad he didn't rip off the rear wheels or something. I would have laughed soooo hard!!

A few hours later the kid comes in and starts like cussing and shooting my friend out, who owns his business. He even called the cops. So the cops come and my friend showed the cops the sign, posted in multiple places. Cops basically told the kid, "Hey look man... you shouldn't have parked there. It's private property." Then the cop asked my friend if he owed anything for the tow... he said no.

I was tempted to do the same thing to some jerkoff who parked in my driveway. Some people on my street were having yardsales and this moron decided he would park in my driveway (I wasnt selling anything) and look around the block. Felt like hooking his sunfire to my Explorer and leaving it in the road. I guess he saw my truck sitting in the approach and me talking to the neighbors. This ***** had the ***** to ask me what the big deal was. Had a few words for him, he promised to never do it again.

That don't bother me. Most people don't want to dent up your vehicle. What pisses me off is when you are pulling a trailer and take up two parking spaces in the main parking lot. One guy drives an F250, but he wants to pull a trailor with 1 fourwheeler on it. Why not just drive it up on the back of the truck and strap it down. Our building gets crowded so parking is scarce unless you wanna walk a long way. Which i usually end up walking, because I have to go to college every morning.

I was just thinking about this with that idiot's Civic... dunno why I didn't think of this earlier...

Play tug of war. I'll attach a chain to my truck, and he attaches a chain to his truck... I'll wrap my chain around the front axle of the Civic, he takes the back. Then we floor our trucks in opposite directions.

Do you think we could have torn a Honda Civic in half? I wonder what the kid would do if he saw that!? LOL

2"x2"x2" of the cheap wood of your choice, 8 penny nails driven thru 4 sides of your choice.. distribute beneath tires, front, back, your choice, as you see fit.. they take up little room in the tool bag/box and justice is swift and assured.. use only if YA REALLY NEED TO!!.. ok..
