Okay
so I am driving around looking for a parking spot at the local grocery store.  And what do I come upon but a beautiful clean well taken care of Mini Cooper S.  Its wheels were polished. It had been waxed.  Obviously really well taken care of.  This must be the mini of a very happy responsible person.  Problem is this idiot that owned this beautiful BLUE Mini Cooper felt that he needed to park crosswise over two parking spots up close to the doors.  You have to wonder.  Was he drunk?  Obviously he was self centered.  The Fairfield shopping center doesn't have THAT many parking spots that two could be spared for his mini.  Would really serve him right if someone keyed his car.  Karma is a wonderful thing

People like this are the reason why people call tow companies and pretend to be the store in question and have them towed. 

Show some respect for everyone else and when you park take up one space.  If you are worried about your car....Park in the back where less people park.

Ya know, I can understand being upset by something like this, especially when its two spaces up front. If its way out in the lot in no mans land, who cares? right. I park out as far as possible, since the last time I parked up close, and legally in one spot, some dip sh*t in an SUV at Pet Smart decided to do a hit and run. Damage wasn't all that bad, I did have to wait for nearly a week to get a new wheel.

But.....To wish someones car to be keyed, 018  and including KARMA as well........Ya gotta watch that KARMA stuff.....it tends to work both ways.

And, even though I, or someone else in my profession can profit from such an action, "Keying a Car" should not be an option. Do what I would do, wait for the numbnutz to come out and confront them.  068  If your bigger then they are, all the better. If not, then leave a Nasty Gram on the windshield.  102

  038 I don't really care for confrontations and rarely have the time to wait. I am a fan of Nasty Grams~depending upon the situation...some start out with "..thanks for parking so close, next time leave a (blankin) can opener...."  blah blah. But, yes I agree about the parking; maybe our friend wanted to show off their new stuff?

Maybe they were just an inconsiderate a$$ and only thinking about themselves.  076

If you want to protect your car that bad park far away and walk. There could have been some pregnant lady that was about to deliver that could have used that space and she had to walk a long ways because this person felt they were so special the needed to clog up the front row.

I have been to that store many times and parking is really tight.

Just remember what goes around comes around. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow but it will.

Perhaps....... the MINI was a loaner from Hall HUMMER, and due to the Formula 1 like handlingof the MINI, vs the drift like action of the HUMMER.... the driver was expecting to slide into the outmost parking space..... he ended up stradeling the white line?   075

Or maybe not....

I was searching some of the old topics and ran across this one. I have the perfect website for such an occasion. Hopefully it won't offend anyone, and it had printable warning notices! Check it out!

Okay, the filter caught that. Where the * is, add the "A" hole word. It's a riot!

Up front and taking two spaces in a Mini?  018 That's surely asking for someone to do something unpleasant to the car. 045  It only draws negative icon_frown attention 103 to a car that deserves so much more. 045

BAD MINI OWNER!!! icon_sad Go to your corner at once. 075  That's the corner in the back of the lot next time. 045

Allright Dale, I tried to log on by just spelling the first three letters to a$$hole and got something adult oriented if Ya know what I mean  103

So I tried again with the whole word and was succesfull  038

Take a look at some of the A-Holes parked in the photo gallery, it amazes me that so much junk is given such consideration.

I'm gonna print something from that site soon. I know I'll have a reason to use it soon enough.  091
