Who the **** steals a parking spot they didn't dig out and then expects their car not to get messed with?!?!?!?

I'm so done with this snow...

[wantarace17]

lmfao...this happened to my fiance and i at our apartment complex. I wanted to firebomb whosever car's they were.

[Ellis]

dude... the Wayne Brady in me is about to choke a *****...

[boysetsfire]

dude... the Wayne Brady in me is about to choke a *****...

Grab a shovel, go to the nearest pile of snow and just start shoveling snow on that *****.

[twenty-eight]

I told myself I would spend 20+ minutes digging someone in if they took my spot. Didn't happen...I was almost looking forward to it

[Ellis]

I don't think I've ever been this mad... and I'm reluctant to mess with their car... b/c I know afterwards, I'll regret it.

But it's so enticing to just accidentally slip and put 20 ax holes in their hood.

"Ooooooooooops... my bad! See, what had happened wuz..."

Sign says: "Can you please respect my space I worked very hard to clean it up"

methinks you need one of these

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Yeah, I def agree with burying that ****ers car under snow.

[Henry]

I did that once in my younger days. The lady who dug out the space tracked me down, banged on my door and chewed me out. I ended up baking her a cake.

Trust me, I'll never do that again. :)

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

I put cones in the space where I dug out a spot.

[pjfootballer]

Glad I own my own driveway.

[Ellis]

Well, I just noticed the dude moved his car... but my truck is parked a few blocks away...

Knowing my luck, I'll go get it and by the time I get back, a new ******* will be in MY spot.

[Soup]

thank god for reserved spaces...

[Major Harris]

good thing you're not wasting any time, say, posting on extremeskins!

[Ellis]

thank god for reserved spaces...
I wanna reserve a spot on this guys face for my foot...

[Ellis]

good thing you're not wasting any time, say, posting on extremeskins!
I'm tired... my truck is parked a few blocks away and I just don't feel like dealing with a new punk... it's been a hell of a monday

[zskins]

I have one reserved spot and three cars. So it has been "fun" playing musical chairs with the cars. We try to keep at least the main car in the reserved spot.

It is normal for people to park in a spot that is not marked reserved regardless of who dug it out.

[Darth Tater]

Well, I did take a parking spot I did not dig out a several times. Funny thing was that where I lived a the time had assigned parking and somebody dug my space out.

[Soup]

all apartment buildings should have reserved parking. When I moved to my townhouse it was such a relief to see that RESERVED PARKING sign. I felt important

[TheDoyler23]

I agree, but if its not an assigned space and you shouldn't be able to claim it forever. I did a good job on my space (even after they moved all the snow from the handicapped space in front of mine) but the world will keep spinning if someone has the 'audacity' to need to park.

[Midnight Judges]

I agree that sucks if someone takes your dug out space.

Problem is, you don't know if the person who stole your spot already dug out their own spot only to have it stolen by someone else.

Also, in parking lots that have limited space and people are battling for spots in regular weather, I'm not sure you should get reserved parking and they should be SOL just because your car happened to be there when it snowed.

[mardi gras skin]

That's happened to a few of my friends. Even in town homes, people are pulling up in front of their houses.

I'm figuring out I live in a pretty classy neighborhood. Everyone's been very respectful.

[Ellis]

Thing is... there's 22 spaces in this townhouse parking lot. There are 22 townhouses.
Of that, only about 12 of us have cars, the rest are just renters.
So everyone that lives here knows it's my spot!!!!
It's not some big secret.

Problem is... some ******* who can't park on the street like he usually does due to snow piles has decided to park in our parking lot illegally and I have NO idea how to find them.

The tow company won't come out b/c the lot is still buried in snow, for the most part.

This storm has screwed up everything.

[Destino]

Someone put a chair in the spot I DUG OUT when I ran up to the store (gone 10 minutes max). I put it in a spot that wasn't dug out next to a shovel I grabbed that was next to the dumpster. :)

[Mickalino]

When I moved to my townhouse it was such a relief to see that RESERVED PARKING sign. I felt important

as important as the guy parking in the Chic-Fil-A Employee of the Month parking space ? :pfft:

[Mickalino]

2 wrongs don't make a right

[Old Bay]

This happened to us. A neighbor of ours did it, too. He has a smaller compact car that he parked across the street and then jacked ours when we left. I wasn't able to get my Camry into his old one so we had to park in a bank parking lot down the road a little ways, nothing too major. It was kind of funked up, though, considering it was literally across the street and it's not like he had to walk a long way. My wife was pissed.

[SkinsBry]

Keep a bottle of deer urine in you glove box. Pour that in the a-hole's cowl grille when they park you in. They'll be hating life when they turn their heat on.

[Bang]

I own my driveway, but even aside from that.. My neighbors and I work together. I have one neighbor who has a Bobcat who keeps the street clear and also takes care of our driveways, but we also get out there with shovels and together clean everyone's sidewalks, paths to the mailboxes, etc.
We work hard and no one has to worry about their cars and walkways. Not everyone does, there's two houses on the street that aren't quite up on the being neighborly thing, but we take care of them too. One house is a rental with some young 20=somethings in it, and when I showed up with my shovel to help the guy dig out his driveway, he was very pleased. The other house,, they'll figure it out. My wife made the guy who owns the bobcat a big bowl of fried rice, and everything's cool.

~Bang

[Fergasun]

Who stole what out of the dig now?

[Soup]

as important as the guy parking in the Chic-Fil-A Employee of the Month parking space ? :pfft:


I wish :drooley:

[FerndaleSkins]

There is an apartment complex near my parents house. Some idiot parked their car in front of my parents garage, in my parents driveway. My mom called the cops and the car owner said they couldn't find anywhere in the complex to park.

[Gracelander]

I've been taking spots all week long. When I make service visits to an apt. complex and there are chairs in NON ASSIGNED spots I get out and fling the chair away, I have jobs to do and I respect assigned spots but non assigned are free for all. Then again i'm only there for 10 or 15 minz.. this is one I saw today

[The Mayor of Fed Ex Field]

actually had this happen twice last week. first time I buried his car in with snow and then dumped alot of water on top of the snow i piled infront of it basically turning into a solid ice block. actually watched the guy break it up and shovel it for a good hour. that made me feel great.

second guy, I called the local tow company and pretended to be him, said that the car wouldn't start and was told it needed a new alternator and that I was getting a ride to work and asked that it be towed to the Toyota dealer in leesburg (which is 30 miles away). the cops came to his house, I'm sure he thought it was stolen. car was down the street th next day, closer to his house this time. don't know how he found it so quickly, but he knew better than park it in a spot he didn't clear.

[TheDoyler23]

My wife just made a nice horn out of a empty soda can and an ice ball and planted it on the space stealer's windshield. :ols:

The other LVP of the parking lot was the guy who parked his SUV over two open spaces. Hopefully someone w/o a space calls the towing co tonight on that jerk.

[sacase]

If its unassinged parking then you really don't have a leg to stand on, is the world supposed to stop because it snowed? people got places to go and things to do. I shoveled out my girlfriends car knowing full well that in unassigned parking it was going to be taken. My parking spot is an assigned spot in the garage so I don't have anything to worry about. I think its funny that people get bent out of shape about street parking or unassigned parking. If you don't like it get witih your building or HOA and have them make it assigned.

You know that's a felony right? I wouldn't brag on a message board about that.

[KDawg]

Dig a parking spot out? Things are alot different down there when there's snow, apparently.

:ols: totally a dickish move, but still funny to hear about.

Funny stuff.

If you are visiting, then fine, but if you live there and you are just too lazy to dig out your own spot then you deserve what you get, unassigned spot or not.

[Popeman38]

Anyone defending the dick move of stealing a shoveled spot is flat wrong. Massachusetts actually though about passing legislation to deal with this issue. This country was built on hard work, not watching your neighbor work hard and stealing their ****. Dig out your own damn space.

[Bubble Screen]

Simple solution: Buy a house

To those who have to worry about those who steal parking spots they did not dig out of the snow:

Edit: sorry to rub it in. Take solace in the fact that days like this are literally the ONLY thing about living down here that doesn't suck balls.

I own my house.:)
The ass that parked in the parking lot doesn't live here.

[The Sir]

My face always lights up when someone vacates one of those spots. Saves me a lot of trouble.

Nah, I meant the others that complain about parking spots.:cool:

[Ellis]

... LOL!
Well, I'm pretty much over it at this point.
I had a case of the Mondays... never thought I'd say that.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I did it this morning...I started a new job in Arlington in a residential area (startup business out of a buddies condo) and parked a couple blocks away in a parallel spot that had been dug out.

I felt bad about it but figured it belonged to someone who had left for work for the day. No harm done to the car.

so your the one that stole my spot:mad:

[Who Del]

I have off street parking and a spot reserved in the back. Whenever snow is about to come I park in the back if my downstairs neighbor isn't there. He is the laziest person on the planet and didn't help shovel at all.

We're supposed to keep the area clean together but he didn't do a ****ing thing. I saw him come out and he made some remark about how I did a great job shoveling out paths everywhere. I told him point blank, and I'm the least confrontational person you will ever meet, that if I saw him in that parking spot that I just dug out I was going to beat his ****ing ass. He cannot use that spot until every last drop of snow has melted. Dick.

[Thiebear]

they had actually big shovel and scoop trucks out at 5am this morning.
Saw the guy push the neighbors snow right up to my car out front.. i ran outside and asked him what he thinks he's doing and he says they have to clear the streets.

"I explained i just finished the sidewalk, he said no problem" And proceded to pick it all up and drop it on the neighbors across the street" it was priceless. You can't even see the ground floor of their house.

They appear to be doing this to all the streets? 8-10' of snow on the sidewalks ???
how the heck are the kids/people supposed to walk, and its ICE chunks.. you can't shovel that.

My side is spotless: I crack up everytime i think of it..

I did, it is a town house. The issue is the price I paid here in Ellicott City I could have a house on the water in NC.

Agreed, public spots are up for grabs.. people that get all huffy about it are funny to me. If everyone wants to alleviate the problem, shovel out more than just your car..if everyone did this there wouldnt be any bitching and moaning over something so petty. Everyone these days is me me me. Glad i live in a house with my own driveway :P

[LaxBuddy21]

Yea for unassigned parking, there is nothing you can do. And you do realize that every single person had to dig their car out of somewhere right? You are not the only person who shoveled a spot. Just because it wasnt there doesnt mean that person didnt shovel one out somewhere. I have assigned parking thankfully so its not an issue for me. My problem is the people parallel parked behind me are so far off the curb and crooked because of the snow and not shoveling the spot out that I can barely get out in the morning. Oh well.

[John Lydon]

Theres a very simple solution to all of this ......

Buy one of these and you'll never have to shovel again.......

[Forehead]

Well, I don't agree with doing anything to a person's car, but I'm all for digging out a new space and putting the snow from the new space around their car in the old space. Nothing illegal about that, so far as I can tell.

[dfitzo53]

On a related note, I came out of my place to find a note stuck to my car's window from the apartment complex.

One of those "we were in your home for maintenance" notices, and I'm thinking, WTF? I was home all day, nobody came in.

Then I read it and it says, "Please call the office, snow plow scraped your car."

Sure enough, there's a huge scrape on the left rear of the car.

I wonder if maybe the plow driver had enough of people taking spaces he cleared out. :silly:

Um, that is everyones point. Instead of taking a spot someone else cleaned out grab a shovel and dig yourself one. Problem solved.

[GibbsFactor]

Looks like the old pebble in the tire stem cap could be of some use.

[zoony]

dog poo under the door handle should do the trick

[LaxBuddy21]

Well I hope you take a shovel everywhere you go and dig out a fresh parking spot because otherwise you are parking in someone elses hard work!

I don't park anywhere that someone had to take a shovel and dig out a spot thank you very much. I am not a dick.

[Ned Flanders]

LMFAO!

I did that to two stuck up bitches in high school. I then watched them come out to their car after school, and simultaneously lift their car door handles, smell their hands, and start screaming. It was one of the most hilarious things I've witnessed.

:point2sky

Some vaseline under the windshield wipers works wonders as well.

[LaxBuddy21]

I don't park anywhere that someone had to take a shovel and dig out a spot thank you very much. I am not a dick.

So if you go to visit anyone in a neighborhood, where do you park? If anyone came to my neighborhood, they would either have to park way out on the main street or in a spot someone else shoveled. Most of our spots are assigned so the other spots are extremely limited. And even out on the street, most of the spots had to be shoveled because cars were stuck there when it snowed.

[MassSkinsFan]

I just finished reading this thread and this is by far the most creative solution. :applause:

I have a driveway now, but I do have experience (plenty) with this issue. Take it from this M*******, we have a pretty good system. Why is it good? Not because it is morally superior or even all that practical, but because it is extremely predictable.

Rules:


You put a marker in a spot, you keep it, no questions asked
You move a marker and take the spot, you deal with the consequences, no questions asked
Consequences:


They should be as malicious as possible without major damage to the car
Creativity and a certain **** you spirit are widely admired
Clever is always better
Blunt force is for the simple-minded
Major destruction is not acceptable and, though it will not lead to police involvement in most cases, will result in escalation
Unless you are willing to take a chance, or are in a neighborhood of stuffed shirts who aren't likely to send their butlers out to exact revenge, you just don't move a marker. You look around for an open spot. Simple as that.

So if you go to visit anyone in a neighborhood, where do you park? If anyone came to my neighborhood, they would either have to park way out on the main street or in a spot someone else shoveled. Most of our spots are assigned so the other spots are extremely limited. And even out on the street, most of the spots had to be shoveled because cars were stuck there when it snowed.

If you have visitors then I suggest you get out a shovel and clear one of the unassigned spots for them.
