What is it with people and parking spots?

Ever notice how those who will circle around for the close spots are often the fat-asses who need the excerise and should be parking at the end of the lot?

YUP.

Years ago I was walking out of Bridgewater Mall in NJ during the Christmas shopping frenzy.
My vehicle was a motorcycle parked at the far end of the parking lot in a very small unofficial parking spot.

As I was walking across the parking lot; a woman followed me in her car.
After me walking past 20 filled parking spaces; she pulled up beside me and asked which parked car was mine.
As I pointed to the leather jacket I was wearing and held up my helmet in my other hand; I simply replied "Car ?";

Use it to nail those last two jerks that run through the left turn light on red. The ones who think they are entitled to run red lights.

I will just say this, that 50% of all American homicides do not have "disputed parking space" as their common factor.

Does that mean that 50% do?

No, it does not, but it implies that 50% of all American homicides do have a common factor other than parking space disputes.

Unless you count a Detroit drive-by shooting as "undocumented parking".

People see the low tire and fill it without ever checking to see it the core is loose (most don't know what a core removal tool is anyway), then a different tire needs filled, then another, etc. Or just be mean and remove 2-4 cores and toss them away and put the valve caps back on.

glue a small piece of stone or pebble in the cap with a little super glue and you get the same result .... in case you don't have time for the valve stem.

When will people learn, it does not matter how close you park to the door, it matters how close you park to the cart return.

But see, if I were going to do it I would want them to know exactly why their tires had no air. At the end of the day I decided to move on because I didn’t want to get in a fistfight with some moron in a parking lot over a parking space in case he happened to be watching his car and saw me. I’d be the one that would end up in jail for messing with this car and starting the confrontation.
