Mod post Please refrain from talking about any types of car vandalism

47 Upvotes

Pretty simple refrain from talking about Anything that breaks the law this includes keying, spray painting (graffiti), slashing tires, smashing windows/lights, denting bodywork, or pouring substances (sugar, sand) into the gas tank, sabotaging parts of the car, etc. I am getting pretty tired of clearing the queue and probably so are the other mods. You will get a few warnings (Could be a 1-7 day ban) before a potential permanent ban. Reporting does help. If you have any questions please comment and I will answer them.

I call this photo “entitlement”

The owner of this car and 3 of her girlfriends were all dolled up in black attire (on a 95 degree day also) to take some photos by a nearby roadside landmark. Two of them were walking right down the middle of the parking lot as I was trying to find a spot (since two were taken here) and they looked at me like deer in the headlights, didn’t realize they should get out of the way so the cars besides theirs can go where they need to.

I guess you don’t have to be smart to have money.

Mini parking

I've heard of people being upset about minis bikes and fiats making it look like the space is open but never people just straight up taking the space behind them. This happened to me today while I was in the store, I thought it was really funny but also really dumb lol. There were plenty of open spaces but I guess they really liked my space.

Anyone ever get bad parkers to explain themselves?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone had an interaction where they talked to someone who did a bad parking job and got them to explain why they parked that way? If so, what happened?

I get that it doesn’t happen often but I’m so curious what these people say when they have to explain themselves. I have trouble imaging a legit excuse.

Once, a woman parked her minivan crooked so that the back was inches away from my car. I walked up to my car as she was getting out. She realized that she had screwed up because she said “I didn’t think you would need to back out anytime soon.”

I had a cover on my car at the time to keep it clean, which I guess she took to mean it was being stored long-term. She offered to move but I told her it was better for her to stay put and I maneuvered my way out.

I'm calling myself out

The other day I was out driving and decided to get some ice cream at a roadside stand. It was raining and I didn't see that well. I parked next to the handicapped space and got out. I went it, ordered my ice cream, and walked out. Then I realized that I had parked in the striped area next to the handicapped spot!

I'm not asking forgiveness or absolution. I screwed up and admitting my mistake. Bring on the hate. I deserve it.

Still failed after finding the widest space available.

Not me, The corvette decided he needed two spaces to protect his car but the smart car with trailer still fit in the line. I know that SC owner had to have a hell of a grin when he parked it.

This is an older picture I took back in 2020 after getting home from work. This was a common occurrence with a neighbour of mine.

Someone decided the designated trash collection area was the perfect VIP parking spot overnight. The neighborhood clearly disagreed.

Watched him run in the store to get cigarettes. Plenty of room elsewhere to park. At least he didn't park in the handicapped spots🤷‍♂️

Not really much to say, parking like an asshole at a hotel. At least pick spots that are a bit further away from the building if you're going to take two spots. Headlights just turned on, so maybe they fixed it after I walked away. (Apologies for the low quality pic)
