Pissed parker

To the guy/gal that parked next to me this morning...

Your Ford Explorer is NOT a compact car you moron. Perhaps you were confused. After all, the Ford Explorer is smaller than the Ford Expedition, so maybe you were under the false impression that made it a compact. It is NOT.

Did you not see the "Compact" sign painted on the parking space? You obviously can read. You didn't park in the handicap or car pool parking places. That didn't happen by accident. You read those signs and didn't park in those spots. But there is no fine for idiots like you cramming a huge SUV into a parking spot designed for a compact car, so you went ahead and did it. I realize that if you actually had obeyed the signs that would have meant parking on the fifth floor of the garage instead of the second floor. It would have taken a whole extra five minutes out of your day to walk up and down the stairs to park in an appropriately sized parking space for that monster truck.

Next time you choose to park that behemoth in a compact spot, do your neighbors a favor and leave us some Vaseline so we can grease up and hope to slide back into our compact cars at the end of the day. If I had worn a thicker sweater today there's no way I could have gotten in the drivers door. Luckily I skipped lunch so not having that extra 1/16th of an inch around the waistline allowed me to shoehorn my way through the minuscule space between our autos. I was seriously considering the possibility that I was going to have to climb into my trunk and fold down the back seat just to be able to get into my car.

Thanks for being such a douche bag.

Psst! Bob! I got some carpet tacks here. I won't tell if you won't!

Oh, we've all been there honey. Welcome to the club. I once wrote a note to a dear friend and left it on his/her windshield. It simply read, "ASSHOLE." I didn't have carpet tacks or I swear to God I would have attached them to his/her forhead.

Happy Thursday!!!

Spelled forehead wrong. Hey, it's been a long week.

Douchebags... they are everywhere. Everywhere, people with false senses of entitlement run around taking things that clearly do not belong to them. They are well aware of the rules, yet they disregard them, then act all up in arms when you have the nerve to call them on it.

People can be ridiculous about parking. Some person down the street blocked a driveway in the other morning. The person whose car was in the driveway left a big note on his car. I would have called a two truck. I"m not as nice as some people.

My favorites ar the "handicapped" parkers that jump out of their car and run to the store in the rain so they don't get wet.

I love those guys!

JB you should have grabbed a few peices of that fence and put it around the Explorer. That really would have screwed them up

I feel your anger -- but at least you've made a funny post about it. I especially like the idea of the courtesy Vaseline.

Damn douche bags. I just wish explosive diarrhea on them. It makes me feel a little better. Hope the rest of your week got better.

I always make sure to leave plenty of room on either side of my truck when I park.

To be sure, I throw open my door at 200 mph. If it hits the car next to me, I'm too close.

I would have parked directly behind the SUV and left a sign on my windshield that said "Back in 5HOURS - you douche bag."

J B,

Do you remember / have you watched the compact car parking scene in Steve Martin's "The Pink Panther"? It is the opposite of what you experienced.

Suzanne said...

Dude, you have all these wonderful comments and you waste time deleting a spammer rather than responding. Okay. That's it. I'm pissed!!!

Blottie!

P.S. I was behind a truck as I came off the freeway this morning and started laughing. Apparently he blogs because he had me posted all over the back of his truck. I waved when I pulled up beside him. He looked confused. I waited until the light changed and knew I'd be safe, then mouthed "Love ya baby!" Unfortunately he pulled up beside me at the next light. Hadn't anticipated that! Hey, I didn't go to Harvard.
