Growing up in park hill with gridded side streets I got a good one.

Those rich *$&%'s with their low riding Saab's and BMWs who decide it's an awesome idea to come to my neighborhood (not rich by any means when I was younger) and drive down unplowed streets in about 6 inches of snow, thinking that because they bought the $600 "snow tires" they can do anything in their 4 inch clearance car.

I lived right off a main street that did get plowed so as soon as they would turn, *whump* they bottom out and call me over to help dig them out.

After about 20 minutes of them then trying to floor it to get free and potentially kill a 8 year old, they get free and instead of backing out to the main street they keep on going and bottom out again 30 feet down the street....

Anyone hear about that 9 year old that committed murder? Yea this is the type of thing that could drive a kid to do it....

I went to babies r us to pick up some things, I ALWAYS park in the back, not because I dont want the door dings, but I need the room to get the baby car seat in and out of my car without hitting someone else. Anyway I parked in the back away from everything, was on one side of the car getting the baby out when a stupid mini van parks RIGHT next to me on the other side. I still needed to get my other son out of the car, so instead of being the nice, considerate person I usually am, I rammed my cart right into her van.. stupid biotch deserved it.. a million other spots and she has to park right next to me.


Well, I am one of those people that parks in the back, so as to NOT get door dings:) We go out to an early dinner and the parking lot is totally clear. I park in the back, of course. There are plenty of other spots throughout the lot, as well as along the outer edges. I know how it is to drive a truck and like the outer spots too, but this guy must have doing this to be a prick....parked all crooked too- what an a--

Happens to me at the office. Just when I move to a new vacant area... a bunch of dorks decide it may be a good idea for them. I am rotating around the lot weekly!

I was flipped off by one of this aholes....
People in Big Black SUV's talking on the phone on the highway flying up behind you in mild traffic while your doing 10 over the limit anyways. Then they end up right on your bumper.
some out of state tahoe did that to me, including flashing his lights (international sign for my I compensate with my large vehicle in this regard) and I "accidently" went to coast on my cruise instead of accel, even at 10 over.

and my pet peeve. @ssholes who park up really close behind you on a hill at a light. Then just before the light turns green, lay on the horn. If Im in a really bad mood, I do the "oh no, I stalled my car" routine.
