I think you need to find some hobbies. Be careful, cause if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! And she will tire of your aimless pursuit

This is a great thread!

I tell the SO all the time, "Gee, can your find a smaller parking spot? I can't get out of the car!" I think she is learning. I always park way out at the end of the lot, and then I hear "Look how far we have to walk".
I guess I can never win.

I saw the opposite of this situation the other day. Lady parks a brand new Chrysler Town & Country next to a POS. She didn't even get the van into the space, it was angled halfway into the POS's space so the passenger side was about 12" next to the drivers door. I saw this lady shaped like a giant weeble trying to open her door to get in her car just bashing the crap out of that new van. She really had no choice, she was way too fat to slide in from the passenger side.

But I'm sure the van driver will be whining about how careless people are when she sees the huge dent in her door.

that is redundant. Ct&c = pos

we need to start another thread about morbid obesity in the us. But, "weebles wobble but they don't fall down". :d

but i'm sure the van driver will be whining about how careless people are when she sees the huge dent in her door.

it is sort of an iq test; you know, like darwinism.

Well i messed up the other day, as i was getting out of my truck my door swung open hitting this little car's passenger door...oops. I could see the female driver sitting in her car so i check both doors out and everything is kewl so i start to walk into the store. I hear a car door closing (slamming actually) and she aint smiling as she walks over to my car door- so i go back and apologized, i told her i checked everything out before i walked away and that she could put her "key" away....

I always park in the back 40 of parking lots. People who cruise the lots of a grocery store looking for a spot 20 feet closer to the building really disgust me. I have friends who will not park until we get a front row spot. Me, I just park towards the back, 10 spaces or so from the nearest car, everywhere I go.

But I am also somewhat of a misanthrope and hate being close to other people.

Sorry if I read too much into the OP, I thought you were threatening bodily harm over it-maybe I didn't read it right.

Don't you think the whole thing is kind of funny though? The guy with the POS parks so close you can't get in your car, but doesn't put a bit of damage on it. You shoulda just laughed it off and move on.

Personally, I think you blew it.
You must drive a Honda beater.

How surprising that your name is Colorado. It was you, wasn't it? It's been you this whole time, huh?

I get it.

And I've heard people talk before about doing exactly what that guy did. Scope out a nice car that was purposefully parked on the fringe of the lot for safety sake.....and then go park as close to them as possible.

This is envy at it's finest (whether or not some of you want to admit it).

This is also something Dennis Leary could have written into his song, 'A55h0le'.
