Parking at work is not an issue for me. We have extra large underground parking with assigned spots. The guys that park on either side of me both work in my office, and they are as pick about their vehicle as I am about mine. There is nothing behind us, and a wide Chained Off area in front of the vehicles. I work at General Motors Headquarters, so I don't drive my baby (F150) to work, I take the SS (Trailblazer).

Once I leave work, I am in the same scenario as the rest of you, but at least 10-12 hours of my day while out of the house, I am not concerned about my vehicle.

 

Happends To Me All The Time! You Saw Where I Parked When You Saw Me At Benihanna! I Parked At The Home Depot The Last Parking Space In The Corner! Some People Just Dont Give A Crap, So Far I Have No Door Dings!

 

Been there, done that. It wasn't parking related, but I let some guy borrow my jumper cables one day while I was at work on the condition that I got them back before I got off. 4:00 rolls around and these guys are nowhere to be found. But their (dead) car was still in the parking lot. I hooked up the chain and dragged it across the parking lot and into a field. Then I wrapped the chain through their rim and gave it a pretty good jerk. Let's just say that their mechanic probably had a hard time balancing that tire after that. The next day the guy came up to me and asked me how much the cables were ($20). I told him $40 and he gave it to me. No word on how his car is doing...

 

I always thought it would be interesting to park perpendicular to a car, hook the chain up to my truck, and throw the other end of the chain over the car and hook it to the frame, etc. on the other side. Give it a good pull and see if I could flip it.

 

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I just keep thinking of more stuff to say lol. The other day I was pulling into work and some guy parked crooked with the front right corner of his car about a foot over my line. I deliver Food and the parking spot is labeled for delivery drivers only, so yes it is my parking spot. So I pulled up and put my driver tire as close to his bumper as I could get it, then I turned the wheel until it started cracking his plastic bumper. I turned my truck off and left it just like that. When I came back out the guy was just leaving and he pulls up and says "Next time you park like that I'm gonna cut all your tires." I was like "So you're saying next time I'm inside my lines and you're taking up two spots, YOU'RE going to slash MY tires?". He says "Oh, there was a shopping cart in my way, give me a break." I said "Sir, there are 400 other parking spots and the whole lot is empty, you could have parked anywhere else." He got pissed and drove away.

The way I look at it, if he slashes my 33s, my next set will be 37s. Then I'll just park on top of his hood.

 

I'm not going to lie...I usually park where no one can get next to me. There have been a few occasions where there is someone in a spot like you describe with a 1.5 wide spot. I'll usually hug the line right next to that truck/car leaving like 3-4 feet on my other side...

I always wonder if that dude will be mad that I parked on the line or if he'll understand that what we have going there is a team effort...like two trucks that we care about ... heck if anything, they should know I'm careful about my truck and look to it as me protecting him a little bit more.

What do you think about that?

 

Heck no, I park on the side walk right in front of the doors so I can reach out the door and get crap out of my truck.

Seriously I do......

 

But seriously, why do you have crap in your truck??

 

Cause I can!

 

Ewww!! I'll haul all sorts of stuff but I refuse to haul crap and if I did, you can be darned sure somebody else would be unloading it!!...messy, messy

 

i'll be sure to park within the lines whenever i swing by lake worth...lol

 

I thoroughly enjoy it when someone parks diagonally way out in the middle of a parking lot, because all I have to do is get my buddy to drive up to the lot with me and we park on either side of him, in spaces, between the lines..... sometimes. either that or we'll park like opposite jerkwads, either way, he's not going anywhere.
