Have a little fun......

Go to a pay phone (if you can find one) and call in a stolen car report with description and tag number. Then sit back and watch the fun!

I once parked my car like that. But even worse. It wasn't even in a row of spots. It was in the freakin' middle of an aisle. I only realized it when I heard my license plate paged overhead.

I was post-call during residency. Meaning I had arrived at the hospital the day (27 hrs?) before. It had been snowing and the parking lot hadn't been plowed. So I parked my car in line with the rest of the handful of cars in the lot. Fast forward 24+ hours. Now the snow had all melted, all other cars I had originally parked next to had since left, and my remaining car was no longer in any space or even close to it.

Maybe the guy in the OP couldn't see the lines because he parked there right after a flash snow storm. I know they have flash floods in Phoenix.

Looks like we have a new, bigger bag o'douche. There were plenty of more shaded spots, but this guy had to take two, even though his car was as dinged and dented as the Mitsubishi. What makes these people tick?



Thom, this is for you. I was at the grocery store a few minutes ago.



I wouldn't do this in KA, but it's not legal or customary there. It's totally cool here.

I was a tad over the line here, but I knew everyone in the parking lot, so they were cool with it.

One of the girls at work was almost parked in by someone who had simply stopped, rather than actually "parked", their car.
After 15 minutes of edging back and forth to get out, she left a note along the lines of "Please take more care when parking"

On the windscreen.

In lipstick.

I would have left the message written in motor oil.

Two spaces?

Weak sauce!

If you aren't taking at least three spaces, you aren't trying hard enough!

AZ is a BEEEEEEG state.....I was in Havasu just getting off the lake withthe twin supercharged 502 powered monohull.....the heat from the lake was the least of our issues.....we went to the air conditioned bar with da bimbos.

My GMC Yukon XL told me it was that hot. GMC stuff is made in.......ummmmm China? PARF material......

Anyways whatz good for GMC is good for AZ......

Gas in AZ was $3.27/gal......CA 3.80+....hmmmmmm, transportation costs? Who's getting screwed?


AZ sucks to live 24/7.....but they got cheap gas....

There are lots of people like this... Let it go.
No matter what you do they'll still do it or someone else will.

Why let any of this negative stuff occupy room in your head?
