WWYD if someone calls you an idiot?
 

The situation:

You're in a big parking lot. You decide to park your car away from the crowd for one reason or another but next to another. You could've have parked it next to another open slot but you didn't. No rhyme or reason to it, you just decided to park it there right next to a car when there are other open slots. The driver in the car next to yours comes out, starts berating you for parking your car next to his and calls you an idiot. WWYD?

Edit: I should've included an "Other" option. Please explain what you would've done if none of the choices would work for you. You'd be doing me a favor if indeed I have an anger management issue per my wife.

Move your car a ways away and then when the other owner is out of sight, line his car with shoppnig carts.

lol!

I think you could shoot someone for that in Texas.

a tough one. depends on the type of day i was having.

Did he resemble a lizard?

huh?

Years ago, historic races, parking in the PCA paddock. Guy directing the parking, probably thinking it would look cool, showing the years differences, directed me to park my '72S near a then new first year 996.

996 guy said to the parking guy, making sure it was loud enough for me to hear: "I don't want that old P.O.S. parking next to my new car."

I moved...there's no cure for ignorance.

On the other thread a lizard was executed for trespassing.

I'd have retorted, "I don't want your new POS or a$shole attitude next to a real Porsche......oh, and your mom's a whole."

I would have said "What's your effing problem bud?, I KNOW I didn't ding your car, so tell me, what's your effing problem?" "Oh, I get it, it's YOUR effing parking lot, right?"

Park your car on the other side of the lot and hire the local football team to pick his car up and move it to where all the "other" cars are parked.

If it's Home Depot, I know how to operate a forklift!

Maybe move my car then I would call my friends with their POS pickups and have them come park.

Sphynctersayswhat?

What about it????

CD55... if you parked next to him with your passenger door next to him, you could have said you were trying to protect at least one side of his fabulous machine.

Then he might have stopped yelling and y'all may have become BFF.

If you put your driver door next to him, he may have thought you might ding him.

Penis..I mean Prius owners are like that..
as for the talker..
he must have felt he could take you..
saw a guy do this..even got out talking trash..
his problem..BUBBA was bigger...after a few slaps..
he tossed him back into his pickup..

me..I live in Texas = he could be armed..I could be armed as well..
so just move your car..( he may key yours)


wait a bit..he's gone

then key the words ''
I moved my car ....across his hood

(I'm kidding)

While I don't condone him calling you an idiot, I will admit that this pisses me off too. BUT I also know that it is part of the human mentality to "gather" and the same goes for cars.

Now this might work....turn around, look at the cars, smile at him and say "holy crap, I can't believe I did that cause I hate it too!" Then you wait for his reaction and if he continues being a (drum rolll please) douchenozzle, get hell ben ugly with his ass and I would bet dollars to doughnuts he's back down...example..."WTF you going to do about bub? See those camers over there, you going to kick my ass on TV? Now shut up and go get your lipstick you waste of spooge".

If he smiles then all is OK and yeah, I would move my car.

Of course if his car is a total POS then tell him to cram it up his cramhole or even better say "you're right I wouldn't want my nice car hit by your rustmobile"

Or as my esteemed neighbor rcecale says....smile and calmly say "what'cha going to do about it" as nice as pie. Then when he hits you you get to sue and take his car :-)

Have you got pictures of the offending car and of your wife?

I would need more data to intelligently do the poll.

Whole what?

Call 911 on your cell phone and tell the cops the guy just threatened you with a gun.

what did you do?

Appologize, then park in the space on the other side of his truck.

"Well, you see, sir, you're in my normal parking spot. Instead of demanding you let me park there, I thought I'd be a nice guy, let you have my spot, and just park next door."


"Would you like to trade?"

I'd say nothing, move to another spot and immediately put the incident completely out of my mind.

The world is full of idiots and arse wholes.

Why would I respond to one of them, possibly provoking them to drag me into an unpleasant incident that couldn't possibly benefit me in any way?

Life is short and I prefer to spend my energy otherwise.

LOL!!!!!!!


Here is me parked next to my co-worker. He just got his nice G37x last week and he is paranoid about someone hitting it.

He was less than pleased but laughed about as well. I would suggest the same for your parking lot Nazi.

" I knew if I parked next to you we both win as we are both concerned about other people denting our cars. Since we are both careful, this is a win-win for us."

You IDIOT!

:D

I carry a valve stem core removal tool. I never key cars. I just loosen 2 valve stems and walk away. I've probably propped a few 16d nails under tires, too. I don't remember. ;)

There is a reason he parked far away from other cars, he didn't want anyone parking next to him. That is obvious.
So why in the world would anyone park out away from all the other cars, and park right next to him if there were plenty of other spaces available? I don't get it. what were you thinking?
It's not that big of a deal, but why would you do that?

The answer to the poll would be: I'd realize what I had done, tell him he was right and that I wasn't thinking, and move my car.

Immediately turned and busted all the windows out of his car with a bat, thrown a road flare in it, and driven away.SmileWavy

Idiot move.
WTF were you thinking?

Well. I probably wouldn't of parked next to him. After all it does seem like there were plenty of open spaces.I would of parked a little further away from him, showing that you are as concerned about him as he is concerned about the others.

If someone called me an idiot, I would of said FU a- hole. This incident sounds like it happened in a a parking lot, what the hell is wrong with that guy talking like that.

If I was in my flatbed, I would of accidently backed into him a few times. It is really hard to see out those side mirrors.;)

Well, let's see, you wouldn't have done it but if you had, you would have punished him in some way if you did and he complained loudly and rude.

.................................................

I pulled next up to a much newer 911 at Frys and we were both about mid isle, no cars for 5 spots. I figured we'd both have 50% less chance of getting dinged. When I came out, he was gone and I was surrounded. I wonder what he thought.

If he was one of you guys, my car would have been trashed.

One other thing, if there was someone sitting in a car way out there, I definitely would not have parked next to him, especially if he was in a 911. He might be one of you.

So, mr. hard drive anger management guy, WTF did you do?

that's your solution for everything...

I would have walked away leaving my car where it was (of course risking a keying). If he pressed the issue, I would have calmly asked him if he owned the parking lot.

I would smile and remind him his wife is gonna be pissed if he forgets the whipped cream and cherries.
Then mumble she is a filthy while walking away.

No Milt, We are not talking about the second car.
If the guy in the first car got out and called you an idiot for parking next to him, he would be the one with the problem.
Not you.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Whenever I get called "idiot" by a stranger (everyday) I either blow them a kiss or ask them if they need a hug. "Do you need a hug? You need a hug don't you? Come on over here, big guy."

The dude Cantdrv is talking about has a problem and I'm not going to let it be my problem as well. Duck that spit.
