Rick, he might respond well if you go up to him, tell him you are a film scout & hand him a biz card (put Hugh's phone # on it), then ask if you can take just a couple of pics to send back to "the studio."

Sounds like he is even more vain than burpo_schmoe.

Honestly, I don't see Mullet Man that often. But I will try to get a photo next time. Maybe I can sneak one in the locker room for N!.

Dumbass of the day award:



That's me on the left. I always try and find a curb-side spot, and park as close to the curb as possible. Morons like this are the reason why.

The person who needs couch time with a shrink is anyone who thinks someone here said this was the biggest issue in their life.

And is ten pages into the thread....

It's called 'free time'. We are 'free' to use (or waste) it as we see fit.

When I went to the gym yesterday, there was not a single locker in use in this section of the locker room. Mine is the black padlock in the middle. When I came back, two idiots had parked on each side of my locker and of course, they both came back while I was changing and it was pretty cramped. Why do people do this? Why do men want to be next to some other sweaty man in the locker room? Literally hundreds of free lockers far away from me and they pick mine.

well.... not to defend these arseholes.... however, you did pick the locker right on the middle, which would put you right in the action. just sayin'.

All:

I agree that is's quite annoying when 1) someone takes up more than once space with their vehicle, and 2) someone parks right next to you when there is no need to do so.

This would be remedied if parking spaces were bigger.

Right?

Cheers,

Paul.

Parking spaces are plenty big here. They're much smaller in Europe. I parked against a curb at the grocery store tonight around 8pm (totally empty lot) and a minivan parked right next to me. No biggie, since the spaces are so big, he couldn't have hit my car if his passenger had opened his door as far as it would go. But why park right next to someone else in an empty lot? I don't get that.

Yesterday I swung by the local grocery store and was in the 911 so I parked waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the cheap seats. (I like to walk anyway so it works) and when I came out there was some jack wipe that was parked right next to me. There were at least 100 other open spaces out where I parked. There was also some butt head with an old Ford truck (mid 80's vintage) that was parked close to the store who had taken 4 spaces. WTF is wrong with people? I know they all suck!!
