I don't know what that means. But I thought it was a d'bag move to take up two parking spaces when I lived in other states too and that doesn't change when the summer ends here.

Arizona: 18 cents per gallon gas tax.

California: 35.3 cents gas tax, plus up to 9.75% sales tax on top of that.
A 2 cents per gallon state UST fee is also included.

Add to that the special boutique CARB gas specifications in California, and it's a wonder arizona gas isn't even cheaper.

The Mitsubishi d'bag was up to his old tricks again yesterday, but the second spot he took was the one in front ot the donation bin, so not really encroaching on anyone else. Still, his car is a POS and he's a bag o'douche.

Once upon a time there was this Honda taking up four spaces like the truck, only right in the CENTER of the X. I put a note under the wiper saying I would key the car if I saw it parked that way again. No, I wouldn't key the car but it gave the asshat something else to think about.

Rick, you need more stuff to fret over.

not sure how this applies but it's kinda on topic.
no offense meant to any person real or ficticious, living or dead

Well, I got to see the Mitsubishi d'bag in person today, getting into his car. I recognized him from the gym and he's a lot older than someone I'd expect to behave that way with that car. He's probably my age (40), a serious weightlifter and has the most ridiculous mullet I've ever seen. If he weren't in such great shape, he'd be a candidate for those "People of Wal-Mart" email chains. He was parked correctly today, so I saw no need to talk with him. But now I know, so I will be tempted to approach him in the gym if he parks like a d'bag again to the detriment of others. In fact, I'm tempted to cross out "parking" on that card and write in "mullet." Definitely one of those guys everyone talks about behind his back.

Somebody parked like that next to my BIL, so he just smashed their window.

Took this one at a Safeway in Colorado Springs this morning. Didn't really catch my eye. But how many Subaru Brats do you see anymore?

The Range Rover got a little note behind his wiper, asking him if the freshly painted lines were not white enough for him, and that he needs to learn how to park...

is it discrimination to put a note on the LAN Drover and not the Benz?

I wouldn't do this in KA, but it's not legal or customary there. It's totally cool here.
Be honest Rick - I wager the reason you do this is because it's so freaking hot the asphalt parking surface will gave way under your kickstand and the bike will be on it's side when you return with your carton of Marlboro's and 9mm ammo.

Yes, I've said in this thread that I do it because of the heat. But again, it's legal and customary here. Oh, I don't smoke anymore and 9mm is for pussies. Flame away.

I had only a small piece of paper. And I noticed the Benz a bit later or I would have written him a loveletter too..
