RANT: Offending people in the parking lot.

[BJ_M]

or these ones:

it looks like someone got pissed off - or a pipe burst , but the story says someone did that on purpose to prevent his kids from driving his cars (including a 911) while he was away ..

[Capmaster]

Still, those don't even come close. This car had "feet" of ice all over, not inches

[BJ_M]

that would have totaled a lot of cars ... 2 feet of ice over 60 sq. feet would be 7500lbs exactly ... thats also 960 gallons of water ..

assuming that the temp was -4 F , apx. slightly less than half the water would freeze on the car and the rest would run off (if water was at 44F) - so that means she would have to spray over 2000 gallons of water ..


you said she had a mist sprayer on her hose -- that would mean a GPM flow rate of 2-3 GPM .. or a best time of 666.66 minutes to deliver 2000 gallons ..

or would have taken her better than 11 hours sitting there spraying ..

i did not take into factor evaporation or wind effect (blow off)

[Capmaster]

She was determined all right. Not sure how much damage the car had, and perhaps it wasn't "feet" but rather "foot" of ice. I was judging by a small newspaper photo. But there were no distinguishable objects that would tell you it was a car.

The wheels were completely obscured, the ice had run down and met the ground, so it looked like this huge ...well, iceberg sitting on the street

I know I gave you shit about "keying" a car Doramius but I have also "keyed" a car. Although it wasn't actually a Key, I used a BFS <big ******* screwdriver> it all happened Christmas shopping quite a few years ago, and I was wandering around this parking lot forever trying to find a spot. I finally found a spot where someone was about to leave, so I sit and wait for them to back out and as soon as they did, some jackass jumped into the spot, since the guy backed up towards me.

A little bent out of shape I pulled up behind the guy who had stolen my spot and asked what the hell he was doing, and he replied "**** you pal, go find another spot." I slammed the truck in park, grabbed the BFS from the door tray, jumped out of the truck and scratched "Suck my Dick" in his trunk lid and broke both tail lights. I scratched it deep too, the metal was bent...it's a 24 inch Craftsman screwdriver.

Difference being, I "keyed" his car while he was standing there. Suprising how tough he was before I got out of the truck, but stood idley by yelling "you mother ******" while I scratched the shit out of his car. I did get out with the intent to scratch his car, but I also figured a fight would take place...what a pud.

He had to have gotten my plate number but I never heard anything about it.

I'll say it again.I'm glad I'm your team to crazy SOB

Question. Am I the only ******* who does this? Sometimes I'm looking for a parking space in a crowded lot and I finally come across someone getting in their car and starting it up. They'll sit there for a few minutes not doing anything. Now at this point my feeling is that if you're already in the car and you KNOW someone is sitting there waiting for your spot, is it REALLY that big of a deal where you let it warm up? Mind you this is rarely in winter when you need the car to warm up anyway, but it's happened year round. Deciding that they're not in any hurry, I pull my car up longways behind their car, put it in park, get out and start walking to the entrance. Then all of a sudden they will start shouting or honking their horn. I walk over and of course they are shouting that they need to get out. I remind them that they can't be in that much of a hurry and they bitch about it. Well if you really want to go then get the **** out of the spot. What they hell do you think I've been sitting there waiting on all this time. Now that YOU'VE decided you want out I should rush? Hmmm, where did I put my keys? This may take a minute. They always have a few choice words for me but it's obvious that I'm terribly concerned. Depending on how much of a fuss they make, I'll see if I can flood the engine before I turn the key. What's your hurry anyway? :P

[northcat_8]

I'm not like that anymore. That was back before my teaching days began. I'm much more tactful and calm now.

[ViRaL1]

So we've seen. :P

You may be the only ******* that does that <takes out notepad and scribles new idea in ink> but not for long.

I'll tell you another place that something like that occurs that pisses me off, is at a fast food resturant in the drive through, when they have to hand out all the food to everyone in the car before pulling away from the window. And at the ******* bank, mother fuckers who go through the drive through and have 20 minutes worth of banking to do...GO THE **** IN you lazy bastards

Have you ever considered anger management courses ? But you do work with kids all day which is bound to up the blood pressure.

You mad, mad bastard.

Seems a bit drastic, could'nt her just hide the keys

[ViRaL1]

I wonder what AAA thinks about that.

[northcat_8]

VCD - have you ever been to anger management?

What a joke that is

I was court ordered to attend back in HS. and as I have disclaimed before...I was not actually going to throw the guy off the top of the grandstands at the county fair that year in hind sight I think continuing to hit him while the Sheriff had a hold of him was a bad idea. But anyway...

The lady I was sent to said "Why do you feel you must strike others who anger you?" "if someone was angry enough to hit me, I would just grab their arms and legs and hold them until they had calmed down."

Yea, I learned how to count backwards from 10, how to utilize breathing when I begin to fell irritated...yada yada yada whatever

To be honest, it did help some...but it wasn't life changing or anything.

Honestly, I love taking a few first punches in a fight. I was so hoping that guy was going to start a fight. I've lost 2 fights in my life. One with my dad, and the other with a guy 3 times my size. The one with my dad was in high-school and of course me being a hormonal teenager, I started it. My father and I have always gotten along real well and still do. We just had a bad arguement at one point. My dad really didn't fight either. He took a few blows then got a chance to run his fore arm and elbow into my stomach and knock me down. He used to by in the airforce years ago. He knew how to quickly get me winded and shocked, then immobilize me until I calmed down. The whole move seemed like it went faster than I could reflex blink my eye.

The other one, was the large guy being a real dick at a club back in NY. I told him to leave my friends alone but the drunk SOB kept annoying us. He finally asked, "what the heck you getting so upset for?" we just stayed silent and moved to another area. He follows us and tells me I'm being discourteous. He pushes me down and and walk away. He follows and throws me down again. By this point there are bouncers starting to come, but I didn't notice them. Being on the ground, I take my elbow hard into the side of his knee and he drops on me, then hammer fists me in my left ear. It felt like it was on fire and exploding with blood. I push up from my knees and palm fist him with 2 hands in the jaw causing him to bite his lip. Then he nails me square in the chest and takes the wind out of me. He then kicks me. while the bouncers pull him back and throw him to the ground. Only one bouncer comes to me. A crowd of people come over and are helping me like crazy. We both end up getting taken to the police station, but apparently my friends, 2 bouncers, the bartender, and several other witnesses told them that the other guy started it all and the club wanted to press full charges against the other guy. He tested somewhere around a 1.6 on a breathalizer. After the police station I spent the rest of the night and most of the morning at the hospital having tests done to make sure I was okay.

What a sucky night. I think I can count on 1 hand how many total fights I've been in in my life.

man I love those "I'm not going to throw the first punch" guys.
I'll throw it, I have no problems with that.

WTF? I'm lost on what this even says Doramius...puff puff pass

that doesnt always work -- from personal experience -- in my wild teen days , my parents went away on vacation and hid the keys .

I just copied down the VIN number and went to the dealership and had them make a set of keys for me after some story was delivered ..

I unhooked the odometer cable from the transmission ... I knew my parents...

pretty smart for a 15 year old - except our noisy old neighbor rated on me when they got back -- she had watched the whole thing .....

i took care of that situation a few months down the road ---


now -- parking lot rage is a big issue .. specially at Christmas ...

I dont let it get to me -- i either park very far away or in a field or something or just dont shop there -- or last year, we hired a car and driver to ferry around everyone for a day or two and sit parked right at the entrance ....
