Yes this is a car from a driving school.
He rents a unit in my strip mall and I guess he came in before the other cars and didn't look for any lines.
The funny part is that when I took the picture I saw him outside having a smoke and could see the car.
He then went back inside and left the car like this!
D'bag (he owes me money too)

Todays douche baggery brought to you by the local triple AAA towing company. Dropped this piece of dookie off last night, strategically completely blocking my front doors. I like how it is angled so that there is not way I can get a car in our out. I had to hook it up to my Dually, and drag it out of the way. The car does not start, the parking brake is frozen on, and it has one of those DUI Interlocks, that will not let you start it without blowing into the tube.
I really want to load this piece of shat up on my trialer, and deliver it to the towing company tonight at 3 am,. and block their fvking doors.
I have a huge parking lot with plenty of space to unload a car like this, but they leave it right in front of my front door. Just wait until I see this guy.

Question!!!!

OK Guys...
One of my other rides is a long box crew cab F250 (work mobile). It does not fit length wise into many marked parking spaces. Not a big deal in a suburban mall setting....park far enough away and nobody should really care. But what is proper etiquette in this situation? Pull forward and take up one and a half spots or let the arse end of the truck hang out in the traffic lane? I always pull ahead screwing some guy out of the spot in front of me.....I feel like the douche when I do this.

If you do, please post a pic of the deposit. That would be EPIC!

depends on the size of the spot. if it's a decent length and you're just hanging out a foot or so, i would stick out in the lane. if it's a short spot, then definitely pull forward and reserve the rest of the second spot for someone with a mini cooper or smart car.

I've ignored this thread until now, simply because the subject annoys me so much...

We have a whole parking lot full of d'bags that cannot park, partially because the slots are narrow, mostly because every d'bag drives a crew cab Texas edition monstro-truck.

One day, said person in said F-150 Harley Davidson super duper d'bag truck parked poorly, but they were...a Realtor (you have to capitalize that), and they had...magnetic stickers with their name, number and email.

THANK YOU JESUS!
I proceeded to email them a few times with an anon Hotmail account, explaining just how much of a d'bag there were, and why the world hates them for parking like a retarded monkey.

I got a few choice replies, but i also got to see them put their truck within 1mm of exactly centered after lunch, and for 2 days afterwards. I mean, they must have used lasers to get the truck so perfectly centered in the slot. On day 3 however, they got sloppy, and the emails went a flying again. After lunch, back to centered. I guess that being virtually slapped actually works!

If only EVERY d'bag put their name and contact info on their vehicle, it would make the world a better place.

If i think about it, I'll spend 5 minutes in the garage after lunch and probable be able to double the number of pictures in this thread...

I copied this off of the website: http://www.youparklikean*******.com/



The drivers of cars shown on this thread must have taken lessons from those on the website.

Sorry. The Pelican forum settings filter the correct link name. I'm sure most of you can extrapolate the correct URL. The pre-printed a**hole note they provide for windshield announcements is worth the lurk.
