StevenGuthmiller Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 parking like a jerk warrants some sort of retribution, but keying, or damaging someone's car is childish. If you key someone's car, you're a bigger Ahole than they are. We pretty much all agree with you Cameron. We're just commenting on how you open yourself up for all kinds of bad things to happen to your ride when you act like that. I would never key someones car, but there are plenty of people out there who have a chip on their shoulder because, for whatever reason, they don't have what this guy has & they're just looking for an excuse to destroy the property they really wish they had. & this is just the excuse they're waiting for.

slusher Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've seen people break tail light lenses...they cost a lot, but not enough to meet the deductible most people have. About ten years ago, a girl I worked with had her car keyed. She was seeing a married man, and the Mrs. found out. She'd just bought the car, too...it was one of those last-generation Mercury Cougars, the little front-wheel-drive coupe. Wifey didn't just scuff the clear coat...a lot of her handiwork went right down to the primer... parking like a jerk warrants some sort of retribution, but keying, or damaging someone's car is childish. If you key someone's car, you're a bigger Ahole than they are. I really thought that keying someone's car went out in the 80's. I am handicapped but will not always use it if I can walk some. I would never take 2 parking places that's just going to get to much negative attention. I can't under stand why the handicapped person sits in the car and the rest of the family shops. That's a spot lost to other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The guys that deliberately take up two or more spots piss me off, but I stopped getting worked up over people not parking in the lines. A few times over the last year or so I would see a car crooked in a spot, clearly a poor parking job. I would think to myself, Man what a jerk. Then I see a little old lady in a walker, or someone needing help getting out. You never know who, or why they parked like that. But if they park at an angle across 2 or more, it's obviously on purpose. We pretty much all agree with you Cameron.

Ramcharger Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Wow! Really?!? This is all you have to be upset about, to the point you would key a car, hit the windshield with a ball peen hammer, or paint a nastygram in nail polish on a car? Walk 10 feet farther and park somewhere else. I have an old car that I have a bit of money in, I park out in the boonies in two spaces because of dipsticks that don't care about other people's stuff (you know, vandals and such). If there are not enough spots that are available for me to park, I just go somewhere else. I can't believe the juvenile attitude about this, people would really damage someone else's property over a parking spot? This explains a lot about our society, maybe we need to lighten up a bit? I hope none of my coworkers decide to key my 59 Ford parked in the middle of four spots way out in BFE where no one parks, or parks right next to my door to make a point. About nothing.

Tom Geiger Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Story just came to mind... I was in a busy store parking lot right before Christmas. No spaces, but some idiot had parked square on the center line, taking up to spaces... no reason to do that since there were cars parked in the four spaces adjacent to him, don't know what the motivation was other than stupid. So I found my Geo Tracker would fit right behind him. I wasn't being mean, just saw I'd fit and figured he could get out of the space by going forward. I had to laugh when I came out of the store... someone else had the same idea as me and parked a small car right in front of him, effectively trapping him in between.

Luc Janssens Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Totally unnecessary, because the curb spot is the best spot, you can park with the wheels a few inches from the curb and have wide area to open the passenger door, or the driver-side door from the car in the second spot. Unless it's grass, full of dog feces, then I back in (letting the passenger out before I park) ;^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's grass, full of dog feces, then I back in (letting the passenger out before I park) ;^) I agree with you on that. Now, my car would not make anybody exited (Ford Freestyle), but I do care about it it and do park far away - often on a corner or end space. And you know what? If I see a Porsche or something similar out there in the far reaches of the lot I usually park in the spot next to it. Although the Porsche-owner might not be thrilled (not knowing me or the way I drive), but from my end I'd figure he would be a safer car to be parked next to.

mnwildpunk Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 To back up a bit I bought back my camaro and was showing it off to my then GF now wife. I had parked perfectly no double parking. Afterwards I came out to find someone had keyed my Alice (camaro) from bumper to bumper I barely had my car 10 hrs and someone messed her up. I was at least four spaces from the closest car. Imo you can be be totally respectful and still have BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH happen to u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vypurr59 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I worked in college as a store parking lot security agent, just driving around in a car. If I had seen someone parking like the idiot in the vette. I would have called for a wrecker. That little door ding he was saving his precious vette from, ended up costing him an impound fee, and towing charge. Not to mention that this was before wheel lift tow trucks. A few had more damage from the tow trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Here is the video of the Jeep owner. Apparently, this was at a Red Robin somewhere in New Jersey Jackwagon couldn't even open the door for the lady! Should put the Jeep on top of the vette.

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ok guys I don't live in a big city but do people still key cars?? Why yes Carl... I'm not gonna lie, but one day I was at a Walgreens getting in my car, and this woman parks so close next to me in a Lexus , so before I could start the car she gets out and as she opens the door it hits my car... As the herd of kids are piling out of the car meanwhile her big behind is all on my car rubbing on it while she's trying to take a phone call... I said something along the lines of watch what you're doing, she in turn tells me to mind my ______ business... I told her hitting my car and rubbing her overstuffed ____ was my business, she gives me the finger... So I wait til she goes inside and I get out and keyed a nice word startng with the letter B describing her along the side of her shiny Lexus... And I took off... Wrong I know, but if you have no consideration for my property , then I couldcare less about hers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The big problem with doing anything wrong now a days is that there are cameras everywhere. Yesterday in Philadelphia a Mitsubishi Outlander did a hit and run. The guy behind him got him fleeing on his cell phone video. Film made the news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Last week I went to lunch and someone in a crew cab long bed truck with a trailer had parked longways taking up about 5 spaces, right across from the door instead of out back where a considerate person would have. Someone had parked in the spot behind him, real close, so I parked right in front of him, real close. He had to wait for us to get finished eating before he could leave.

Pete J. Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Door dings, scratches, and rock chips are part of life---can't avoid them. Don't drive your car in public if you don't want dings or scratches.Actually, you can. I have a '93 MR2 turbo with 125,000 miles on it and exactly 2 door dings. One of which came since I owned it. I don't take up two spaces, but I do park were no one else wants to or I pick a couple of expensive cars to park next too. I don't annoy anyone by parking in two spots or any thing else, I just pick my spots carefully. I don't park next to work trucks, minivans or SUV's. If a car had a lot of dings I don't go near it. I try to pick cars that show pride of ownership. It's not hard and often I get a little extra exercise walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetman87 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 When my fiancee and i were living in an apartment complex we had a pain neighbor who would double park all the time. Made it really hard to get into the small lot that was usually packed so one night when i came home from work exhausted and seen how this d-bag parked i went in my trunk found a screw driver and flipped their plates around so that you couldnt read them. About 3 hours later he was leaving for work and made it about 1/4 mile before being pulled over. Not my best moment but i grew tired of nothing being done about how he was liberally parking like he owned the place. Management never once did a thing about it, so in a moment of weakness and frustration i got subtly even. Never had an issue after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Never had an issue after that So how would the neighbor connect the two incidents ? I have a neighborhood kid with a tomato can exhaust that I'm thinking a can of expanding foam may fix.
