What grinds your gears?

I'm not sure if you can do that, but you can sure try LOL. I fully agree with you. I used the sidewalk when I was a kid. If I didn't know the family, I certainly wouldn't be walking through their yard. Even now I try not to walk through people's yards if I can help it.

On Saturday I went to walmart to buy a couple gift cards. I was going down the parking lot on a one way. I see a van turn it's reverse lights on, so I give him enough room to back up. I turn on my blinker to let others know I plan on taking his spot. when suddenly I see this stupid bitch driving the WRONG WAY. she blocks me and then reverses into the parking spot. I wait to let the woman know she took my spot but she doesn't leave her car. she must have been scared to get out because I had about 3 cars behind me and she knew she pissed me off and the cars behind me. I had my little sister with me so I decide to keep going and find another parking spot. I ended up parking in the street. (no parking spots) I walk up to the car that took my spot and leave a note saying "merry christmas". and I keyed the shit out of the stupid bitches car. How dare she think it's ok to drive the wrong way and steal my parking spot.

was it too much? I don't think so. I was in a rush but I should have let the air out the tires on the car and ruined her day.

lol dayum! a little far but i understand...

worst i ever did was spit on some guys windshield and left a nasty note, I was in AZ at a hotel, and every single parking spot was taken, except in the way back of the lot, this corvette was double parked on purpose, basically preventing me from using that last parking spot...

[Learjet45]

I would have skipped the note and gone straight to keying "merry christmas" onto her car and let air out of her tires. Whether or not I would have included an expletive to describe said woman, well that's up to your imagination to decide.

I remember a cadillac that did the same thing a few years back... Myself and a couple friends were going to see a bond movie on opening night and the parking lot was packed solid, we drove around for about 5 minutes till we came across a cadillac that had taken up 2 spots. So naturally we were pissed and had to park about 1/8th mile away so we decided to leave him a little message and give ourselves a little souvenir. We took all the emblems off the car including hubcaps and hood ornament and left him a "nice parking ungratefull jackass!" note in the door jamb then went about our way. Still have the hood ornament too!

Rear wheel drive cars in the snow! We just spent the last 25 mins pushing my brother's new challenger up the street (slight uphill grade)! Damn over-sized, racing tires and rear wheel drive!

Back in town Paul?

Holy !@#$%^&* Alex. I hope you don't have a bucket-load of bad Karma coming your way.

[Number2]

Back in town Paul?

Yessiree. Just for the week. Thinking I want to try and take the 3 out for a spin...

[alex_n/a]

oh I got my karma already. I was told to come into work at 6am. I woke up at 4:30am and left my house at 5:am to be there in time. Turns out I don't go in till 2:00pm...... Lol I also missed a christmas party last night because I wanted to be in bed early. I love how karma works lol.

oh the other day I was coming home tired from work at around 10pm. I see this lady stuck in the snow. I pulled over and helped her get home. So I had extra brownie points with karma

[erod550]

Totally uncool about keying that lady's car because you had to walk a little farther. I can't believe someone would do that, especially a car person. Wow.

And Number2, it wasn't the RWD that was the problem it was the race tires. Put those on a front wheel drive car and it will have problems with hills too. With my snow tires on the Miata I go anywhere I want as long as the snow isn't deeper than the bottom of the car.

[alex_n/a]

It wasn'tabout me walking further it was the fact she was driving the wrong way and almost hit my car when purposly blocking me. She knows exactly what she did and for that she deserves punishment. Also it was a concure or something. It wasnt a brand new expensive car.

[speedjunkie]

I'd have had a hard time not keying it also. People don't have any consideration for anyone but themselves these days, and going out of her way to steal the parking spot is just more evidence of that. Would it have hurt HER to walk farther?? People need to be taught a lesson when they pull crap like this. Maybe I wouldn't have keyed it, not sure. But she definitely would have gotten something for that. Maybe flat tires.

I think it's funny when people judge someone else for doing this, because that tells me they wouldn't have a problem pulling the same BS. Otherwise, they'd understand someone's frustration when this happens. I don't pull this crap, not because I'm afraid of my car getting keyed, but because it's wrong. If you go out and key someone's car just for fun or whatever, then it would be a different story. Even if someone cut me off and it's an accident and you acknowledge that, I can let that go. But to pull this kinda stuff and then not even own up to it...yeah, I got a problem with that.

Whoa whoa whoa. Not condoning damage to someone else's personal property does not mean I think what the lady did was ok, and certainly doesn't mean I would do the same thing. I don't go the wrong way in parking lots for starters, and I don't steal parking spaces from anyone who is obviously waiting for the spot.

Eric, for someone who raves as much as you do about how much you hate thieves, I'd think you'd have more of a respect for someone else's personal property. Damaging someone's stuff or stealing it, you're still messing with their shit.

Flip her off, go up to her and cuss her out, honk at her excessively, all of those things I would be ok with, but not damaging her car after she leaves it, no matter how much of a piece of shit it is. It's cowardly and I just think it's taking it too far and taking a parking spot WAY too seriously. Sometimes you just need to suck it up and get over it and get a handle on your rage.

[speedjunkie]

I think you're missing the point, Eric. She is inconsiderate, along with so many other people these days. I hate thieves, but I also hate inconsiderate people. Like I said, if he was just keying it to key it, THEN I could see your point. But I believe she deserved it, therefore it's not really stealing as far as I'm concerned because she brought it on herself. I'll bet she'll think twice before doing that again, and it might make her think of someone else for a change. It's not like she didn't know what she did either, hanging out in her car like, hmmm, a coward I believe. If I pulled some crap like that I would expect something to happen too. And if I was really afraid of that happening I'd have the guts to tell the person I'm sorry and try to make it right. One more reason to not be a douche and do stuff like that. It's not even about the parking space to me, it's about being inconsiderate of others.
