Title: Prius Prick
Post by: Glock32 on April 28, 2012, 04:08:42 PM
I encountered this today, and couldn't not take a picture and post on the Internet. It encapsulates so much about the liberal mindset, namely their insufferable narcissism and need to impose themselves on everyone else. It's just like when you see a car plastered in bumper stickers, they're always left wing sentiments because only leftists engage in projection to such an extent. The ability to impose on everyone else is their animating characteristic.

So here we see a Prius taking up not two, not three, but four parking spaces. I can tolerate people who do this at the very back of the parking lot, because they have still chosen to show some respect for others by putting their car where no one else was going to park anyway. But this one was right in the main parking area. Me and pop knew with certainty we'd be able to spot its owner in the store, and sure enough a granola treehugger wench was in there. There could be little doubt that it belonged to anyone else.

Note I have done them the small courtesy of obscuring their license plate number.

Thank you for taking that picture.  I'm sharing that if you don't mind.  That pretty much says it all.

I do park way the hell back in the lot, away from everybody else, and in ONE spot only.  Inevitably, however, some .... person .... feels the need to park right.next.to.me.  Next spot.  Not one over, right next.  And whoever does it, makes sure he crowds my vehicle a little bit while he's at it.  I think there are people who brag of making a practice of doing such things, just to aggravate other folks.

It happened today, a little differently.  We went to a classic car show, hosted by the local high school, at a vacant car lot.  Be-vested men were directing parking, and I pulled in where one indicated.  By the time we were ready to leave, they had quit doing that as they were many empty spaces, BUT DON'T YOU KNOW, as we approached the truck to leave, some guy had just pulled his truck next to mine.  Lotsa space all around, he's gotta crowd my passenger side door.

As for Missus Prius, I only hope some big, honking SUV parked right smack next to her.

If one were to confront said owner the rationale I would expect to hear is "It's not my fault - it was all the other other people parking wrong and leaving me no other choice"

Personally I would have liked to find three other friends and bookcased the car, leaving a generous 3/4" on either side

I would have parked right next to it...with my passenger door about ten inches from their driver's side door.

But that's just me.

When I was high school age there was an idiot at my job who would park that way. It irritated the heck out of some of the other employees. So about eight of them got together and picked it up and moved it between two immovable objects...it's been a long time and I don't remember exactly what they were...maybe a fire hydrant and something else. When the annoying employee went to leave at the end of the day they were totally screwed...had to hire a tow truck to get it out of the tight spot. She never parked that way again.

What is that all about?  I've had that happen a number of times.  It's been moms or an old couple, etc.  There will be numerous spots open and they get right next to me.

A couple of summers ago my daughter was in a morning camp and I hung out at the park area nearby since it was a bit far to go home and then come back.  There must have been 200 picnic tables spread out over the area. I'd taken some paperwork that would take up about the entire 3 hours I'd be waiting.  I picked a picnic table and started working.  The entire time I was there only two families came to use the picnic tables.  They both sat at the table right next to me.  The first family of 5 kids apparently had never been let outside before.  I kept thinking can't they see I'm working here? Why would they want to be next to someone who's obviously working?  Finally, finally they packed up and left.  Wouldn't you know 15 minutes later grandma and grandpa step up shop at the exact same table with their precious three?  There are over 200 tables all over the place. I kept wondering do I look that friendly???

 ::rolllaughing:: I seem to evoke the exact opposite reaction. Today I was at a very small water park for toddlers. My three year old was running through the sprinklers etc and I was nearby sitting at a picnic table in the shade. There are only 6 picnic tables at this place and some people had to resort to standing while their kids played. Anyway, this lady siting at an adjacent table couldn't stand me I guess because as soon as she had a chance at an open table she grabbed her kid and dashed for it.

I must be scary or something.  :o

I gotta disagree with that. Vandalism and/or violence are the tools of the left. It's where they always go and it's usually the first place they go.

Plus it's anonymous which is another calling card of the left. I'm okay with a little non-destructive, non-violent prank that's anonymous but that's where I will draw the line.

If I need to escalate a situation to the physical then it will be in person.

Parking one's vehicle close to the driver's door is invitation to a possible keying event.
Gently backing one's pickup into the 8 o'clock spot, right on the line, should do the trick.

This happened at a local Lowes and I thought the actions taken against the driver clever, even if he also became a victim. Car was parking ( VW bug) similair to the pic. I was waiting on the wife ( reached my time limit of plant peering) when the guy pulled up and "parked", taking up 4 spots. The difference being the spots taken were in the upper third of the parking lot, not right out front. So here pulls in a truck, stops, looks at the bug and proceeds to "park" his truck with his front bumper about 6 " from the driver door. So, now he has 3 spots occupied.

Doesn't end there.... The store gets a little busy.... All the front spots are filling up......Here comes another vehicle and parks in the unoccupied spot behind the truck. So it looks like an "H". Out pops the guy with the Bug and he can't get in his car....out comes the guy in the truck and he can't get out.... I know they exchanged pleasantries, but then the wife came out and we left. One time I wanted to stay, but was forced by threat to leave.

I like 'Soup's baracade idea, but as Don notes above, stuff like that can provoke stuff.  I would prefer a more subtle message to this insufferable tool.

There has to be a stroller-pushing mother or two about...ask for a poopy diaper...know where I'm going here?

Well, you could also circle the car with shopping carts.

I made a little joke about encircling the offending car but it was just that - a joke. In real life all you do is irritate and escalate an azzhole to more/worse misbehavior.

I was around 22 and owned a nice Chevy van with purdy mag wheels and a custom paint job. Because of that, and because I am a firm believer is "Do unto others" I was in the habit of ultra-selective parking - that sometimes included taking two (but only on the outer fringe).

One afternoon I made a stop at the pharmacy for my mom and parked in an end of the row spot where I could leave as much space as possible for the car next to me. While I'm sitting there a tuna-boat pulls in next to me and a fat broad flings her door open, slamming into my fender. I get out and confront her. She tells me to "F" off. I turn around and kick the side of her car and leave.

Two weeks later I got a visit from the politzi investigating a hit~n~run. I ended up paying $650 for my temper tantrum.

If you're gonna screw with peoples stuff.......

don't get caught.

I don't want to screw with other people or their stuff, I just want me and mine left alone, which is why I stay as far away as often as possible.

I believe the most advantagous way to remedy a situation is thru leaving a business card with a note attached, commenting on the boorish behavior........Mind you, not YOUR business card, but someone elses...like a competitor, general azzhole, political enemy...... make sure there is a phone number.

I'm quite certain I once ran across a website devoted to parking/traffic a-holes people have observed, with their pictures posted. If I find it again this one is definitely going up there.

I do remember in highschool. My brother and I used to move a small car diagonally between two other cars. The driver could get in but was unable to leave. There was only 2" between front and rear bumpers and the other cars. ::evilbat::  ::evilbat::

And as today's cars get smaller.....and smaller .......easier to move.

Wonder if there is a way to drain the batteries of electric cars.....not that it is necessary.
