Taking more than one parking spot

[angellous_evangellous]

Here in Fort Worth, TX, the police do not bother to issue tickets to the ********** who take up to five parking spots at a time.

Obviously, these jerks do this to keep their precious cars and trucks away from any possible harm from other jerks who will ding their vehicles.

Now, what's the proper revenge?

I thought about parking right next to them if possible, and ding their car about 20 times (my personal favorite).

Or taking a baseball bat to the headlights.

Or pee on it.

Another favorite: write "*********" on the car windows with shoe polish.

I'm not advocating this... I'm just telling you what I've seen.

I know a guy who, upon seeing cars owned by people who park like ********, would kick off the driver side rear view mirror.

Most of those wouldn't be worth being arrested for vandalizing. If someone parks out in the farthest area, that's fine with me, but if they are doing this close in, then that would be problematic.

If it's a store with shopping carts, there's this idea:

....but accidents do happen:

How can one car take up 5 parking spots?

 

[Me Myself]

Does invisible paint exist? (you know, the kind that is suposed to banish after some time)

Because writing "I park like an *******" in the front mirror would feel awesomely tempting if this paint existed.

If the guy is driving a Benz then I think it's perfectly understandable if he takes up a couple parking spaces. If he's a driving a Ford Aerostar minivan I think it's fair game to take few swings of a baseball bat to the windows

It doesn't bother me if the person is parking far out in a lot anyway. In fact, most people with show cars will do that and it's understandable. These people put in a lot of time and effort to maintain their vehicles. However, someone who drives an old beat up POS taking up two spaces or more is just insane.

Wow, and I thought LL Dangerous was just humor !
I nailed it, obviously

Push a potato into the exhaust pipe ? Superglue the doors shut ?

Were I not such a quiet kind of guy, the idea of superglue in the door lock ....

... never mind.​

Two toothpicks,held parallel together and jammed in all the way then snapped off flush with the lock would have a similar effect....but it isn't a very nice thing to do.

In freezing temperatures, a spray bottle or squirt gun shooting water into the lock would have do it too.

I would never do this but paint in the washer fluid bin.I would do this but I think some one would get hurt so I won`t do not want that happen when their out on the road driven

 

[Draka]

Would any of you guys actually do any of the things mentioned here? I just keep thinking "two wrongs don't make a right". Stupidity may be frustrating but counter-attacking it is usually on the same level.

I was thinking the same thing, but I figgered it's a fantasy thread, & didn't want to rain on it.

 

[Road Warrior]

Yes, that's it. A fantasy thread....because public confessions are just stupid.

Agreed about "two wrongs don't make a right". As mentioned previously, going to court, or worse, jail, for vandalism isn't worth it.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Maybe a ParkingJerk Facebook page where one can post license numbers, etc. It's at least cathartic.

 

[Revoltingest]

Were I really a vindictive type, I'd carry a selection of bumper stickers.
- "Vote Obama" for pick-up trucks.
- "Vote Mitt" for Priuses.

lol nice. now that is original and hilarious

As others mentioned, I consider this an acceptable practice if you are in a large parking lot and are parked away from the storefront.

Most of the time when I see a car parked in two spots, it's because an elderly person was driving it and was probably high on Xanax.

 

[Draka]

Ironically, I just got back from the store and...yep...there was an old beater parked up close to the storefront taking up 4 spots. How 4 spots? The spots are angled and he parked the opposite direction through the centerline so that he was actually partway into all four spots. I saw that, shook my head, and just thought of this thread.

 

[Me Myself]

Idk, if I could manage a not ilegal sweet comeback todo against him I´d probably do it.

People who don´t care about anyone else and get away with it just rub me the wrong way.

The way I see it, is corrective punishment.
