Default Double Space Bastards

Just went to Boarders to find a book and in the parking lot is some Jack A$$ who decided to take up two perfectly good spaces right up front w/ her 22” chrome wheeled H2. Why not head down to the outskirts of the lot and get a place away from everyone? What amazes me is that people pay money to go to a gym and then circle parking lots trying to find the closest spot…….

…….so there is juuuuuust enough space for the Disco right between the driver’s side and the next car for me to slide in, so slide in I do. I walk inside, get something cool to drink and my book then find a chair in the café w/ a view of the offender’s vehicle. Finally the driver emerges and I see her clad in a cream colored dress suit, high heels and big gold rimed sunglasses (so cliché) with her hands on her hips gazing between our two vehicles. The Disco has a couple inches lift on some 32s and stepped out rock sliders, so she can’t just open her door and smack one of my panels – not to mention I had to collapse the side view mirror to squeeze in. There are only two ways to get to her steering wheel: one involves lubrication and a shoehorn, and the other is via the passenger’s side. I almost shot iced coffee out my nose when she stomped her foot like a two-year-old. It was very satisfying to watch her navigate the center console in a very undignified fashion, only made better by the three people who stopped to watch her do it.


I don’t have anything against H2s; they’re just another vehicle on the road I wouldn’t own……like a ’72 Cordoba…….it’s the driver behind the wheel. I didn’t change her, but I sure as hell changed her day.

I do that also...... When someone park close and takes 2 spots I back in as close as possible...... Watch as they get pissed..... The best was when a friend and I did it to someone..... He parked sideways across 2 spots like a moron..... But we happened to still fit.... We blocked both sides.. and the rear of his Tahoe was against a wall....He was mad....HE waited for us to return..It was about 2 hours later after the movie...LMAO!!! He kept yelling...But I was laughing to hard to understand...Just to be an ass and prove a point we walked up...started our cars....shut them off..grabbed some ice cream then returned...That will teach him!!!!!

I too, salute you my man!!

Same thing happens out here in MI, and sometimes on campus in Lima. As a matter a fact, there is a guy on campus who drives a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, and it is riding on these gay-ass 24" Giovanna wheels. How this college kid could get these $10K wheels, I dunno.

But one day a few sessions ago, he too took up two spots, and most the guys with trucks and SUV's do it the right way and lift the truck up and put more rubber than rim for the wheels. One guy in a F-350 Diesel Parked, just like you did, real close to the door. And the other guys got in on it and adjusted their trucks to the point where the only way to get in is through the trunk.

We all laughed, and as a matter fact, he got ticketed for it, the others got away.

I do that all the time. I go out of my way to block those jackasses in. Out here in Vegas it seems to be epidemic as well. I wish I cold just attach my recovery strap and physically move them.

I did see a guy park right in front of a Vons (grocery store) in the fire lane. Brand new 911. I guess they had a medical emergency inside and a huge Firetruck rolled up to the store. It got right on the bumper of the Porsche and pushed it about 100 yards. Due to the trucks high bumper it totally caved in the rear of the 911. Ruined it. The guy came out fuming and threatened the FD guys. The cops showed up and cited the guy in the 911. We were all cheering and laughing.

Thats awesome....

I really like when the Rice Rockets park diagonnally on a parking spot at the end of the lot to get looks....I bet people look when it put my D90's front tire up on his hood.....

KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A few years ago I purchased a brand new Red BMW and went to the race track (horses)...I returned to my car after the 6th race to find a badly beaten up and dented toyota parked next to my rearview mirror....this guy had other places to park..lots. After all I was parked right next to a tree!!!!!
I guess he did'nt like my car. I found a big dent in the Bimmer where he left his mark as he exited. I was in a hurry and needed urgent satisfaction. I found my double cerated edged skin divers knife and immediatly deployed it.
I still dont see that son of a bitch having four spare tires..........
