What is the space to the right reserved for? Looks like ghosts with laundry bags parking.

Parents w/ children.

Pretty soon we'll have assigned parking spaces.

The family went to dinner tonight and there was a yellow Vette that had backed into two spots. I thought of this thread and all the cool things I should do to his car.

I would definitely park my bike in a hybrid spot, since a bike is far more environmentally friendly than any cage.

Anyway, d'bag looks to have learned his lesson. I went to the gym an hour later today and he was parked there, but in one spot, didn't even creep into the half spot next to him, which wouldn't have blocked anyone and would have given him a little more room. I think he's probably just stupid.

There wasn't another car within 15 spaces I'll bet and it really ticked me off. Not that it has much to do with your situation. Just venting.....

I thought of this post when I went back to my locker today. This is the best photo I could take without looking like I wanted to photograph something else.

In this section of the locker room, when I got there, no other lockers were in use. Mine is the black lock when I came back. Some other guy comes in and used the locker right next to mine, when there are 100 others farther away. Why? Why does he want to be next to some other sweaty guy who's changing when he comes back to open his locker?

Its the eclipse guy.

Thats was pretty funny that he did park in the farthest part of the space. Did you park in the half space, looks perfect for the bike.

Rick Lee 08-12-2011 05:31 PM

Actually, the locker is not his because he was probably at the gym when I got there and I always use a locker away from other locked ones. And his car was gone when I went back to my bike. I actually got an even more shaded spot today in corner that's not really big enough for a car. I do park in front of those donation bins once in a while, but it makes me nervous that the collection truck will come to empty them while I'm parked there.

He will be right beside you at the urinal also. Even if there are ten unused ones....

That happened to me late at night in the train station in Koblenz, Germany about 20 yrs. ago. I won't elaborate here, but I almost abandoned my luggage and ran.

993.

The last real 911. Although, I admit, the 997's are great, they aren't the same...

Does anybody else, other than me, literally stop and pause, everytime that they see a 993 ???

I need therapy...

Had a similiar experience in a doctors' office last week-rather huge waiting room, it's only me in the whole place. This guy walks in, signs in, and to my amazement sits right down next to me. It was like a Seinfeld episode or something-odd dude!

I use to think about stuff like and actually move. Now, I don't even notice and actually do it myself sometimes. I just want a seat, who the hell cares. There are times I go to the urinal and stand next to someone and let out a big fart as I am paying the water bill. Most older (40 or older) guys have no reaction. The guys? Well, who cares.

Tiny pebbles under the valve stem cap. Slooow leakage and if they're really dumb, they get the tire re inflated and put the valve stem cap back on for round two.

Scuba Steve 08-13-2011 05:30 AM

Someone parked like that at work once. They came back out to their car to find it booted and surrounded with caution tape. It hasn't been a problem since.

jyl 08-13-2011 05:36 AM

It's just herd instinct. Some have it, some don't.

URY914 08-13-2011 08:55 AM

It's like when you are in an airport and you're taking a wizz and a guy comes in and stands right next to you. There is a whole wall of urinals but he stands next to you.

good times, rick. i love the printed card. people that take two spots are annoying. also, people that think it is ok to park their car while inside the c-store down the street right in the middle of the parking area, making it impossible to drive through the lot to the exit. or, they park right at the door, blocking the entrance. that one usually earns the driver some mockery.

i've experimented with parking my 951 (not that it is anything special: it is beat up, half the interior removed, etc.) at the farthest end of the grocery store parking lot, away from everyone else. invariably, when i come back out, there is at least one car right next to mine, if not both sides, with empty spots all over the place. it cracks me up.
