Parking etiquette
 
went to the movies and maybe two cars in the entire parking lot. so i picked a spot up front. even got farther on the yellow stripes just incase it got busy and someone had to park next to me. well it didnt get busy and yet some jerkoff had to park right up my ***. seriously he was about 4 inches from my bumper. so i took this pic to share.

I wonder what that child will look like?

theDreamer 05-08-2009 01:07 PM

I would have left a note saying something like:

"Since you parked so close to my car I had no choice when I left that scratch on your car. I would have left my information but I could not get into my trunk because of you."

nogoodname 05-08-2009 01:13 PM

^^^ hahahahahaha


over here, i've seen ppl write, learn to park properly on a piece of paper on the windshield

Junior370z 05-08-2009 01:44 PM

When I park I tend to park next to cars that don't look all jacked up no matter how far. My wife hates it! Sometimes when I park away from everyone else and no one around me, I'll find a beater next to my car when I get back. Ppl just like to mess with other ppl when it comes to things like that. Haters! LOL!

I've never done it, but i have to admit, i always think of keying cars that do similar things to me.

eXo5 05-08-2009 02:24 PM

Never failed when I had my 350Z I would park 6-10 spaces away from everyone else walk the extra 30-60 feet into the store and I could be in there for no more than two minutes and someone would always be parked right next to me. It wasnt a once or twice thing it was a everytime I took the car out type thing.

If it starts happening to my 370z I will leave orange parking cones in my trunk and put them in the spots to my rear and sides. Let someone run one of them over or move them. I will take a steaming dump on their hood. :roflpuke2:

NotmyGTR 05-08-2009 02:36 PM

Cant fix
 
Folks.......Ron White said it best. YOU CANT FIX STUPID But your senario isnt the one that scares me.................its the sorry *** parents who dont pay attention to their 8 year old that swings the door open and slams it into other peoples cars that I worry about the most.

Forrest 05-08-2009 06:29 PM

1 of 2 things happens to me.

#1 the most hated thing. A stupid clunker junker is parked right up on me.

#2 The okay thing. Corvette, Mustang, 350z parked next to me becuase we all have the same idea lol

Namir 05-08-2009 11:56 PM

I don't get why people like to be jerks.

I find that if you park in a far off secluded spot, people notice your car and for some reason like to park next to it.
I personally look for end spots next to curbs or dividers so I can hug one side.

I prefer to park near other nice cars, instead of parking alone in the middle of nowhere. If you park isolated, you're taking risks on who will park by you. Park next to another nice car that looks well-maintained, and you know both of you don't want door dings and respect the other guy's car. It's a win-win for the both of you.

iceman21_23 05-09-2009 02:40 AM

what u do is let the air out of the tires

Definitely. And you can only hope the guy you park near understands that is why you're doing it - not trying to hate on them or show off.

eXo5 05-09-2009 08:37 AM

People where I come from are douche bags. I parked in a appartment complex I have never been in before to chill with a buddy of mine. Again I parked away from everyone around me and someone thought it would be cool to hock a loogie on my passenger door. They also left a burning cigarette on my wiper blades.

Needless to say I never brought the Z there again.... cursed car...

Diversion 05-09-2009 11:07 AM

Happened to me atleast 3 times already since ownership of the Z..

I try to find an area where nobody in their right mind would park (way out there) and each time I come back to my car, some not-so-well taken care of car is next to mine. Irritates the piss out of me.. but they obviously did it on purpose to achieve desired affect. Luckily, no door dings or scratches yet.

OMGWTFBBQ 05-09-2009 11:18 AM

I usually try to park in a spot where my driver's side is facing the curb (I always park head out). That way, I'll know for sure I'll be able to get into my car. I've had a LOT of instances where dumb people would park so close to me to the point I had to jump through my passenger side to get in. Also, if you park head out and driver's side towards the curb, you'll be on the passenger side of the person next to you if they choose to park like a normal person (head in). Usually in a school parking lot, it's less likely that there's a passenger.

>135I 05-09-2009 11:29 AM

I had a similar situation. I went to the movies the one night and it wasn't too busy so I found a parking spot kinda close but way off to one side of the parking lot. 3 spaces on my left open 2 on my right. My wife and I go into the movies to see the new x-men movie. Come out and some busted picked up truck parked so close that I had to back my car out of the spot just so my wife could get in. I mean our doors were no more than 5" apart. Then I see the a$$hole come out to his POS and just stand there and watch us, laughing with his buddies. What pisses me off about this even more is that we are both in the military stationed on the same base.. GRRRRRRR

Diversion 05-09-2009 11:32 AM

It's amazing how much hate/jealousy other drivers have when they see a nice car. I've driven way lesser cars and my respect for other cars never change no matter what I drive. It's just sad that people act like this..

eXo5 05-09-2009 12:32 PM

I can respect someone with a nice car trying to keep it nice. 25K+ is about the threshold I can understand.

What I can not understand is the guy in a 17K scion tC who double parks so no one can park directly next to them. It really isnt an issue for me other than the fact that its illegal and if its somewhere like a shopping mall Id rather not have to take the shuttle to get to the entrace.

I think I can understand anyone wanting to take care of their stuff, low dollar car or not. My first car was a POS by most people's standards, but I still took great care of it. I don't like double parkers though. It's a parking lot, people need to park.

nogoodname 05-09-2009 02:13 PM

ok, i'm gonna make a thread of what i see on a daily basis, this really pisses me off.

>135I 05-09-2009 03:04 PM

I really hate it when someone with a Bike parks in a car space when there is bike parking 10 feet away..

U-NVmyZ? 05-10-2009 07:06 PM

i know how u feel, i used to park really left next to a car so the driver whoes getting in their car to my right doesnt ding my sh*t. even tho i would leave myslef a foot to get out, im thin so its all good, haha i remember i went to the gym and and this carrera s white parled far away form the other cars, i parked right next to him, not being a jerk, but i jus wanted to see his car, but i gave him alot of room to get in his car.

well maybe he thought cuz his Tundra has rims and a chrome bed rail that he can park next to you.

frost 05-11-2009 12:20 AM

Listen, they will continue to do this crap until we fight back. Me personally, i'm going to start keying them. But if you don't have the minerals like me, start simple. Spit on their window. Work your pay to peeing in the door and/or tires. If you're hardcore, carry a ziplocked baggy of dog poo to smear on their door handle. These fuckheads will start thinking twice before parking next to Z's I tell you.

And gentlemen in America now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks, that fought with us upon Saint parking-fightback day! (I know, long title, I'm working on it)

are you planning on doing this to the '09 740's or Benz's or Lexus' that park next to you too?

frost 05-11-2009 12:40 AM

^ no, because they take care of their cars. When the 82 hondaparks butt-up against me though. bad times are coming for him my friend.

eXo5 05-11-2009 07:56 AM

Thats all nice and well until a cop watches you wipe poo all over the car.

Musashi 05-11-2009 08:03 AM

If it's night time and they parked really close I might feel compelled to let the air out of a tire or 2....

Greg 05-11-2009 09:07 AM

I hate parking lots...

awesomez 05-11-2009 05:40 PM

Put his plate # on here. Probably won't make any difference but if he searches for his plate some day this thread might come up and he would know that you didn't think it was funny.
