Car Forum / BMW Cars / May 2009Parking lot Rage
So here I am parking in the Home Depot parking lot - for our international readers, Home Depot is a very large store that sells home improvement products. And they have a LARGE parking lot. So I head off to the farthest space in the lot in my X5 (keeping on topic for the BMW NG) - maybe 200 yards away from any other parkers. Except for a new red Corvette - the one with the wingy looking rear emblem (keeping on topic for the Corvette NG). He's parked in the last spot in the lot next to a curb on his right side. So I park one space away from the Corvettes left and head into the store. Around us is a sea of empty parking spots. When I return, there is a Ford F250 pickup with dual rear wheels wedged in between us. There is nowhere near enough space to open my passenger side door for my wife. I'm not sure how the Ford driver was able to get out without damaging my door, but there were no signs of damage (or there would have been a big problem). But, if the Corvette driver returned with the pickup still jammed up against his side, there would be no way to get in. Well, through the passenger door - but that's all. I'm still irritated.. I'd say the contractor has Penis Envoy. I don't think I'd take my Vette to the Depot. I'll drive the F-150. Spud ps, What's the difference in an M5 and a X5? Take a breathe and smile! OK I understand: You're the king of your distcict, correct ? And everybody is used lick your boots everyday correct ? One failed to do this today ? Still correct ? Or was your diaper remaining unchanged ? Why are you whining ? Nothing happened. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mikep" <mikep@NOSPAMturboware.com> Newsgroups: alt.autos.corvette,alt.autos.bmw Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 8:30 PM Subject: Parking lot Rage bla bla bla > But, if the Corvette driver returned with the pickup still jammed up against > his side, there would be no way to get in.

Sometimes, I see a shiny car parked diagonally across 2 or 3 marked spaces in a parking lot. I guess the owner wants to avoid door dings, or let everyone know that he's "special" or something. If I happen to be in my beater, I park as close as I reasonably can to him, certainly close enough to make the point, even if he's at the far end of the lot. Call me a troublemaker if you like. Hey, that's just me. >>Take a breathe and smile! >>OK I understand: [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Call me a troublemaker if you like. Hey, that's just me.

Why do you want to screw with someone who has worked very hard for something, is proud of what they have, and is willing to walk a ways to keep it in nice condition? Is that some sort of affront to your sensibilities? If so, what are you doing in usenet groups for people interested in cars?

If so, what are you doing in usenet groups for people >interested in cars? Well, to be honest, I'm more likely to do it if he's taking up extra space in the busy part of the lot. Added bonus : happening to be around to see the owner frantically scuttling all around his car to make sure his precious baby hasn't been touched. The diagonal parting beasties are, however, one step up the evolutionary ladder from the twats who park in the fire lane with their flashers on while they run into the store for a pack of smokes. What is it that goes on in their micro-encephalitic skulls that makes them think they're so special? > What is it that goes on in their micro-encephalitic skulls that makes > them think they're so special? As a person who takes it on himself to aggravate strangers, I'd think that you would be able to answer that from personal knowledge. >> What is it that goes on in their micro-encephalitic skulls that makes >> them think they're so special? > >As a person who takes it on himself to aggravate strangers, I'd think >that you would be able to answer that from personal knowledge. I'm simply pointing out the "aggravating" behavior of certain others, I'm not trying to aggravate anybody. Tell me, do you not get somewhat "aggravated" in a busy parking lot when you find that some twat has selfishly parked across 2 or 3 spaces because he and his car are so damned special? >>> What is it that goes on in their micro-encephalitic skulls that makes >>> them think they're so special? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > selfishly parked across 2 or 3 spaces because he and his car are so > damned special? I do get aggravated when someone takes multiple spots in a crowded parking lot. That feeling usually passes in about a second or so. It doesn't bother me at all if they do it out away from the crowd. I wouldn't do what you do in either case. You take it on yourself to "show them". That is because you think that you are special just the same as them. But, you can't see that can you? >I wouldn't do what you do in either case.

Ummm, as postulated, the car's parked 200 *yards* away from other cars, so he's been careful to not inconvenience anyone else. And you go out of your way to park right next to him? Why? It's pretty clear that you're the one begging for trouble. Let's hope you find it. Now if he did that in a crowded parking lot, or in a manner to inconvenience others, that's another story entirely. -- Larry > On Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:01:46 -0400, Dean Dark > <dmdrake@gmailNOTTHISPART.com> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > -- Larry Sometimes, I see a shiny car parked diagonally across 2 or 3 marked spaces in a parking lot.

How did you buy into this Bad-boy mentality and how would you like others doing the same to you ? >Well, why would you want to purposely be a Jerk who aggravates a >Corvette owner who parks his car clear at the end of the Lot ?

Because you're a prick! Calm down. Re-read the thread and try to follow how the discussion progressed from the original point. Read for comprehension, if you can. It's certainly been interesting (and rather surprising) seeing so many people getting all cranked up and defensive of selfish parkers taking extra spaces in busy parking lots. Not that *I* would do it, but I can see why certain other types might key such a car drawing attention to itself like that. And if it matters, I got a brand new car keyed down all panels both sides once, while it was parked quite properly. I have no idea why it was done. >> Huh?

It's not my responsibility to have to go back and read all the entries in this thread just because you failed to include enough context to be understood properly. IOW *you* failed in your communication bud. Don't be blaming that on me.! And don't be telling me to bone up on my comprehension skills - bone up on your writing skills! >>> Huh?

They do that because of people who cant act civily , even in a Parking Lot. Do try to behave and have respect for others and their property. > ps, What's the difference in an M5 and a X5?

Its plain to see that the Pickup owner has a case of envy . You should have put a note on his windshield asking him to have much more consideration and asking him what is behind his motive . This is why some vette owners take up two parking spots way out at the end of the parking lot ...but that too can infuriate some people who have uncontrolled jealousy. > So here I am parking in the Home Depot parking lot - for our international > readers, Home Depot is a very large store that sells home improvement [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > I'm still irritated.. Shove a shiv in one (or all) of the tires. You can bet the farm he'll (and it's ALWAYS a he) never park like an idiot again > I'm still irritated.. Some how ... all three of you guys (BMW, Vette, Joe the Plumber Truck) wanted to park way ... a way ... from the entrance of the shopping place for different reasons. There was a whole sea of parking ... and somehow ... you wanted to park near the vette. A whole parking lot ... and yøu wanted company ... and Joe the Plumber wanted it that way as well for other reasons. All of you were spotting on the fire hydrant you know ... you were, vette dude was and then the duel truck did it ... all for different reasons in the same place. The sh.t behind all of this is the toddler tantrum was not handled well in your childhood ... as well as the vette driver and .. big time of course with Joe the Plumber. He had the most foxed up childhood and this kind of child abuse makes people immature, stuck in their toddler tantrum. Full of judgment, expectation, justification, invalidation, and magical thinking. The Octomom is stuck in her toddler tantrum. Bush the Worst is stuck in his toddler tantrum. Were not raised in love, they have no emotional IQ, no consideration, just anger and fear and all that sh.t that comes with that. THE FIX .. for all this is love. If you want to go there and make a better life, better future ... is to fix the toddler tantrum in side ... for you, for vette dude, and Joe the Plumber, all of you must have the love burn through all that fear, anger, irritation, judgement, expectation, invalidation, justification and magical thinking .. it is where the hurt and pain is. Love takes that hurt and pain away. There is much more to this in the science of it ... however the quick the dirty solution to the problem ... is inside. You did not see this coming, fear and anger is blind, thus it is so you can not see it coming. Now in hindsight you get some vision. Put the love inside, and you will see this coming ... and get out of the way accordingly. No more will you have poor judgement. Love heals that and brings vision. People who hate their mom, are off with drugs, medicine, food, therapy, magic and making good healing ... hence they will be addicts. People who hate their dad, are off with taking in money, paying off debt, putting a roof over their heads, and engaging in husbandry making strong healing ... hence they will get divorced, have extramarital affairs, and dead children. To make good strong money, to make good strong medicine, to make good strong magic ... you must .. you must have that devoted love for your mom and dad like you would for the love of your life who you would die for. When you love a woman soooo much you would die for her, what mackeral can she slap in your face that is worst then that. Love has this kind of power, and vision. You want to make good strong money and a happy future ... here is the way. IMO and all that rot. sumbuddie wear blind sea ;? >> I'm still irritated.. .....don't be. you're all wrong. I parked over there and walked to the store to get some exercise! :) -- pj >So here I am parking in the Home Depot parking lot - for our international >readers, Home Depot is a very large store that sells home improvement [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >I'm still irritated.. Get used to it. Happens to me all the time, nomather where I park either my or the wife's bimmer. It also seems to always be Ford F150 or F250's. Somehow BMW's and Corvettes act as a magnet for those. I'm not kidding. My wife tells me to always park in between two cars that are there already. At least then you know what's there and with a tad of luck they will still be there when you return. If you park way in the outfield, INVARIABLy, a Ford F150 (almost always a rustbucket to boot) will park inches next to you. Sometimes it might be something smaller like an Explorer. I've even had it where they back-parked it in instead of wedging themselves in straight. >>So here I am parking in the Home Depot parking lot - for our international >>readers, Home Depot is a very large store that sells home improvement [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >smaller like an Explorer.

Never have > had a problem. I always park as far away as possible. I have no door dings in my '93. I also get the pleasure of seeing how nice my car is as I walk all the way back across the parking lot. It is looking good approaching 17. I have a nice flat belly as I approach 60, and my wife still has a great figure in her mid 50's. It is working out well for all of us. -- Jim > I always park as far away as possible.

I park the '68 in left field.... no problems ever. When I took it to a rowdy beach in Mass, I'd park it over in the impound lot for towed vehicles - worked well. :) -W >I always park as far away as possible. I have no door dings in my '93. I >also get the pleasure of seeing how nice my car is as I walk all the way >back across the parking lot. If you find a primo spot, like next to a curb, so that you can park over to one side, no one can get near you, unless they literally encroach into your space (over the line). I've never had a problem. |
