- - Another d'bag needs two parking spaces. (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/624216-another-dbag-needs-two-parking-spaces.html)

I did mail this guy (website of his business is on the side of his truck....)
Told him that this is a nice way to advertise for his company, but in harsher words to really get my point across...

I do that all the time, when pulling the car trailer, park in the last row(s)

Yep, me too, just where am I supposed to put a F250 diesel and a 30' camper when needing to stop ?

Me as well, maybe people don't pull personal trailers in Germany where this poster lives(?)

I pull a car trailer and occasionally a 24' Airstream across the country w/ a PU truck and it's not like I can park in a regular spot. It's still a matter of common sense and not being a dick, (plus parking somewhere I can get out of when I return to my rig). There is almost always some row not being used a little further out in the lot. :cool:

When I park the big ass RV at a shopping center, I take four spots, and if I can, as far away in the lot as I can. I need four spots, its 30' long and about 8' wide.

Look closely. Also no, this guy isn't handicapped

So I headed down to the club, to smoke a cigar on the river with a few friends (Tuesday night ritual )
and this boxster leaser is evidently trying to show off his car, complete with little white dog.
So I pulled B&B 2 next to him.

This is why you carry bb's or similar. One in each valve stem.

I think you could be just kidding Brent....but if not....nowadays many places have security cameras which could get you in hot water for vandalism - plus the fact that the big K would come back and bite you in the derriere.

I'll post a pic later - that I took this morning of a dbag driver. :cool:

Yup, cameras are everywhere and the resolution is much better then it used to be.

Slashing the tires is vandalism. Letting the air out is not vandalism.

Irrespective of the actual mechanical issue, there's a lot of places around here better than where he chose to park and dismember his rig.

There are better places to park in that lot than where he did.

Get your stickers while you can!

Parking vigilante slaps cars with

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1454542643.jpg

A Queens man is taking matters into his own hands when it comes to law-breaking motorists by slapping their cars with “I park like an A–HOLE” bumper stickers.

Jeff Orlick, 34, of Jackson Heights is so fed up with drivers who illegally park in handicap spaces and block fire hydrants that he started selling the stickers on Etsy last week with the hope that customers will take part in the vigilante act of slapping them on the backs of cars.

“If people park like a–holes, they should know about it,” Orlick said. “You see these things every day that are wrong and people could pass by or take a picture and put it on Instagram or you can do something and make a difference.”

Orlick, a community activist, said that he made the simple, but strongly-messaged stickers last year for himself and since then has slapped them on bumpers of less than 10 cars parked along Jackson Heights Streets.

“I want to be absolutely sure that these guys are a–holes before I put a sticker on their car,” he said, adding that if a driver parks in front of a fire hydrant for more than an hour “they deserve to be reprimanded” and to be “treated like an a–hole.”

The sticker vigilante also said that he is sick of city officials with credentials in their car abusing their power by parking anywhere they’d like.

“People take advantage of their positions,” he said. “I think some traffic officers are afraid to put tickets on some cars just because they have placards in their car.”

He has placed a sticker on at least one car with an NYPD vest in the windshield.

Orlick’s bumper stickers are selling on Etsy under his online alias “Queens Qustodian” at 5 for $10. So far, only an Upper East Side man has bought $10 worth.

He should make them out the material that shreds like evidence stickers making difficult if not impossible to peel off easily.

With the exception of the Volvo, the parking lot is filled (to capacity) with vintage cars. The self-entitled do this.

I just said sorry, but i't not my problem you can't park straight. He went on and on in a whining UK midlands accent about all the health problems him and his wife have and what a c* I am. I had to laugh.

Similar thing happened to me years ago. I parked my 911 in town and walked across the road to meet someone for a coffee. I could see my car from inside the cafe.
I watched as a construction worker wrote a note and placed it under my windscreen wiper. I walked out to read the note. Basically it was full of abuse and "pricks like me shouldn't show off their flash cars."
I looked up the road and the construction worker was looking back at me. He yelled more abuse as he walked off. My car's a pretty average 911SC... Honestly there's nothing flash about it. :confused:

Took this gem at G-Ma's community in Ft. Myer's a couple weeks back
