If someone took your parking spot what do you do?

*X~FACTOR* · 03-11-2004, 02:49 PM

You're waiting for the car to pull out. You have the blinker going. You're waiting patiently then BAM! Someone else pulls in out of no where. You both know it was your spot! What do you do?

rhyno · 03-11-2004, 03:01 PM

Let him know that I was waiting. If he does not move, I will simply double park behind so he can not get out. Only if there is no chance of me getting towed though.

sounds like a perfect time to try out my new winch!!!

*Texplorer* · 03-11-2004, 03:12 PM

This has happened to me a bunch of times with the curtious drivers of this great city

I will pull up to their door, tell them that I have been waiting before they got there and that they need to give me my spot. If they decide to be a normal NY'er and be an a$$ about it I simply tell them with a menacing voice, "Go ahead and leave your car there, dont worry about it". This usually gets the trick done, if they still decide to take the spot, well lets just say that there isnt much that a Leatherman cant do

Carry a box of birdseed in your car. Sprinkle some all over their car, Birds love to poop when they eat!

*IAmTodd* · 03-11-2004, 08:07 PM

I'd prolly just move on. For godsakes, its a parking spot. They say America has an obesity problem. So whats a few more feet to walk. Besides, parking at the empty end of the parking lot reduces your chances of getting dings in your door.

*Texplorer* · 03-11-2004, 08:25 PM

Youve obviously never tried to park in NYC. There are no parking lots, you have to wait forever just to get a spot in Brooklyn. I have numerous times circled a block for about an hour just to get a spot.

*jimbo74* · 03-11-2004, 08:28 PM

just find another spot..... it isnt worth pissingt the wrong people off and having flat tires or worse a gunshot in your head later because of a parking spot

*ahhjaws* · 03-11-2004, 08:35 PM

I like the birdseed Idea. Or it's a time to check your flex. lol

*Stic-o* · 03-11-2004, 08:36 PM

Just say " move it or I will!" Then if they give you finger and walk away...break out your towstrap, put her in 4LO and move'em out!

Acually this has happend to me. I just jump on the horn and put hands up like WTF! Then they move.

Once at Costco this lady was waiting to turn into a spot and the guy in the spot had not backed out yet. But this other guys pulls up behind her telling her to move cause she was blocking the way through the parking lot. He kept honking his horn being a real ass. So after about 5 mins. of this the lady gets out of her car closes the door hit the alarm and walks away, leaving her car right in the middle of the way.

It was great!

Hook up you logging chain, 4-wheel low and gently yank them the hell out of you way (sarcasm).

mosinman · 03-13-2004, 07:07 AM

I just move on and find another. I used to be more aggresive, but as a married man and a father, I think I have a responsibility to my family to sometimes swallow my anger, even if justified, and do the safe thing. Too many crazies out there.
I also let stuff go by on the road that I used to respond to for the same reasons. I must admit that sometimes it bothers me I didn't "teach someone a lesson". Oh well, they'll get theirs someday, And I'll live to see another day.

*Texplorer* · 03-13-2004, 02:40 PM

Good Job showing your maturity

Remember to use smilie faces so people know your kidding. Cause we all know your not even old enough to drive.

X, these guys just dont know that in Brooklyn you cant just move on to the next spot, that means that you will be waiting another half an hour on top of the half hour you just waited for that first spot.

*Texplorer* · 03-13-2004, 02:54 PM

Theres the maturity again, calm down kid, dont get your Sponge Bob undies in a bundle. Im Kidding, but I will get upset if you ever take my spot. You dont want that

This was the part that showed your maturity, or lack there of.

Does Alaska have a public school system?

mosinman · 03-13-2004, 05:23 PM

The ones that teach spelling need to be sued for sure.

Hmm, I've never wanted to ban someone for what they did OFF the site, but this sure is tempting... Wanna know why? BECAUSE I CAN... And I'm MORE POWERFUL THEN YOU... Naa Naa Naa How's that for maturity.

So for now instead of being banned I'll just add a little tag under your username because I can and you can't do anything about it :p

To those who said the kids teacher should be sued for not teaching him to spell I have to disagree with you. How can you teach a rock to spell?

*IAmTodd* · 03-13-2004, 05:44 PM

duh..im in public school..we are about to brign them to fed court tho..they need to do there job..

Obviously they're not. That doesn't even show the capitalization mistakes either.
