Another d'bag needs two parking spaces.

[Rick Lee]

There is plenty or parking in this lot, but only about eight of the spaces are in the shade. They are the farthest from anything, but also the most sought after because the sun here is so brutal. This Mitsubishi asshat has done this a few times. I purposely parked my bike next to his driver's door to defeat his purpose.



I saw a note on his windshield and was hoping it was from a cop. But it was this.



This wasn't handwritten. Someone had these printed up. When I came back out from the gym an hour later, this card was laying on the ground where the car had been. So I kept it and will reuse it when appropriate. I really hate these people.

inflate a black balloon and place securely in front of his rear pass side tire.

Genius!

[slodave]

I had a similar card. Said:

Thanks for taking up two spaces, you stupid, inconsiderate moron. Thanks to you, I had to park two blocks away.

Not that you're wrong, but I tend to think you're playing with fire being on a bike. I wouldn't have been surprised if you'd said you went back later only to have found your m/c kicked over.

Yea people can be dicks but most times it's not worth getting a rise out of 'em. At least it's someone who values their ride (even if it is a lame-ass eclipse) - it's still infinitely better than the 99% of the population that probably couldn't tell you anything about their car other than what color it is since they hold it in about the same amount of esteem as a dishwasher... And they drive accordingly.

[stomachmonkey]

Funny thing is that kind of behavior very often results in worse than what the asshat was trying to avoid.

[A930Rocket]

And if you had a Mitsubishi, you wouldn't do the same?

[Rick Lee]

I wasn't worried about his messing with my bike. I think he belongs to my gym. I have his plate number and he parks there all the time. No problem finding him if I have to and doing worse damage to his car if need be.

Can't do the balloon trick for a while. It's pop as soon as it touched the asphalt here, it's that hot.

[sammyg2]

He backed into that spot.
Maybe he's just a total tard and when it comes to backing up and that's the best he could do?

Really have you not graduated from 7th grade emotionally?

You tried to park so close to someone that it will interfere with them having ingress egress from there car... you took photos of it... you post it on the internet, then you mention you know you know who it is and can do worse damage to there property if something happens to your staged parking job.. Apparently a tremendous amount of thought went into outing this persons (intentionally)bad parking job..

What I see in the photo you posted, knowing its history is:

"Two d'bags need two parking spaces"

Are there not more important things to get worked up about? Its parking? sheesh..

[RWebb]

next time - find the gym's PA system and make an announcement describing his car and plate - something along the lines of "car is being towed away"

you'll see who it is then besides some minor amusement

[RWebb]

Its SHADED parking!

well worth a gun fight

[Brando]

Too bad you didn't have a vehicle with towing capabilities... Just drag them into the middle of the aisle-way and watch them get towed within an hour...

Uh no. I didn't park up against his door and a bike doesn't need an entire parking spot. He had plenty of room to open his door, just as he would have, had he taken up one spot with cars in the spots next to him. This isn't some European parking garage. There's plenty of room for everyone. And, had there been another free space in the shade, I'd have taken it. But there wasn't....because of this asshat. I don't like having my bike cook in the sun. This asshat didn't even have a sun visor in his windshield like everyone else here. He was far more concerned with being away from everyone than keeping his black car cool. I took photos of it so I'd be able to show it to the cops if he did anything to my bike. Again, he's a regular there and he probably knows I am, so my bike is probably safe.

[stomachmonkey]

Actually Rick, he's kind of doing you a favor.

He's not leaving enough room for another car but he is leaving enough room for 2 bikes.

He's still an asshat but it does work to your benefit.

[Rick Lee]

Actually, they have special spaces for bikes up front in that lot. But it's in front of a storm drain and so the spaces are always an inch thick in sand or mud after it rains, which is not good while maneuvering at idle with my feet. No one parks their bikes there. I'll be curious to see if this guy keeps it up after today. Lots of cops work out there too, so I'll ask one of them about it sometime.

[bivenator]

Is it illegal or just immoral to take two spaces? Being private property it may the gym that does the enforcement.

[911Urge]

You should find "Dolly Man" (was'nt he in AZ?) and see what fun you could cook up for this person. Maybe turn his car sideways or move it out into the sun.

I'm so happy we Americans have such important issues to be pissed up about. I wonder how the other 90% of the have-nots on the planet would view this thread?

Don't forget to attach the note.
