People that intentionally take up two parking spots. (1 Viewer)

[Pick]

Maybe I should try that move with my minivan.

 

[jonessed]

I think you run the risk of getting keyed personally.

 

[Schmegma]

Dude parked his little red convertible that way at Best Buy yesterday, parking diagonally across two spaces. It was so nice of him to leave room for my cart, because the corral was a long way away from my car.

A minivan driver calling someone else toolish?

What a coincidence that a good pocket knife can puncture his tires. It is as if the universe is TELLING you to exert some citizen's revenge.If that ain't Karma, dunno what else is.

I think you run the risk of getting keyed personally.

Deservedly so, IMO, if it's a crowded parking lot.Better than that, though, is letting the air out of two of their tires. It doesn't do any damage to the car and all they have to do is fill them back up with air, but it takes a lot of time and hassle to do it. If they make things inconvenient for others, why not reciprocate?

I actually like the idea of surrounding the car with shopping carts, that way you haven't touched his car and less likely to get arrested.

 

[Robbie Cooper]

I ride a motorcycle as my primary mode of transportation, so when I see one of these inconsiderate #######s who intentionally takes up two spots, I like to pull my bike into the half-spot right next to their driver-side door.

Then I wait for the owner to come out and stand there and watch them try to figure out how to get into their car. I usually "suggest" that they go ahead and get in from the passenger side...because if they so much as nudge my bike, I'm going to go medieval on their ###.

You'd be surprised at how few people will argue back with a 260 lb biker.

 

[The Big Guy]

My friend does this move with his mercedes, but he also makes sure to park well out in the far side of the lot, so he doesn't affect anyone. I am still not a fan of the move, but at least he tried not to inconvience anyone at the same time as he tries to protect his car.

i see this move at my high school occasionally. any thoughts on what to do there when the shopping carts are lacking? it's usually one of those tuner cars too so the guy is obviously a tool. help me out here..

Easy answer here, just park tightly against the drivers side of his car and make him have to do the climbover to drive off.

If your friend is parking that far away, he doesn't need to take two spots.

Just park beside him on the same angle. As close as you can to their door.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Double parking is rarely if ever acceptable. Maybe only if it's a totally non crowded parking lot. And then it's just "look at what a tool I am" type stuff.

But double parking is nowhere near the same range on the scumbag scale as someone who would key a car. Not even close.

You guys are rank amateurs.

Pee in the window vents just beneath the winshield. A keying can be buffed out, a slashed tire is repaired, but he'll never, ever, get that urea smell out of his car.

Kid in high school used to do that with the Camaro his daddy bought him. Said he didn't want his car to get dented. I told him I didn't want my 87 pickup dented either, but I didn't park like that. He talked back, I ho-slapped him.

How about working your tail off and then reaping the rewards by buying yourself the car of your dreams ... only to have some inconsiderate tool ding your door/fender.When I bought my car (first really nice car I have ever owned) it had 3 door dings within a freaking week.So now when I go shopping, I park in the back of the lot (usually about 4-5 cars away from the furthest car in the row) and put it at an angle so people can't park next to it.Do I deserve to have my car keyed? or tires flattened? or pee in my window?Ever notice the guys who park like this have REALLY nice cars? Maybe they are sick of the inconsiderate majority dinging up their cars.Try to have some compassion folks and look at both sides of the coin. Unless, of course, it's simply jealousy ...

I'm going to assume that you realize most other people care about their cars and don't want dings either.And I'm going to assume you realize the problems it would cause if the majority of people started taking up 2 parking spaces.So why again should you take 2 parking spots up with your car when the vast majority of other people only take one?

So it's ok to match being inconsiderate by being inconsiderate? If you don't want your car dinged, leave it in the garage. Stuff happens. Heaven forbid a bird with diarrhea were to fly in the vacinity of your car.

You sir are an ###. I know you may not think it, but you are solely drawing attention to yourself nothing else, other than of course protecting your precious wonder-machine. Nobody wants their stuff messed up, but its part of interacting with other people. Life's hard, get a helmentI'll give you the best example. There is a guy in my parking lot at work. Yellow corvette, the license plate says "DAAAAAMN". Do you have a super cool license plate too?

So you won't mind when I park my brand new sports car at an angle right next to yours. That way only one of the sides of our really cool cars is exposed to these inconsiderate and jealous peasants.

Please describe how you drive on a 2 lane road with nothing but a dotted line in the center of the road protecting you from the cars approaching you from the other direction? Do you drive down the center of the road, so as to keep anyone from getting too close.It's a car. They get dings. Oh, and nobody here is jealous because you're a tool. We laugh at people like you.

I wonder: Can you afford a nice car? Not nice for you but nice in the objective sense? I'm mixed on the issue. I think it would be toolish to do this during Xmas shopping when spots are at a premium but on the other hand this is when positional ding avoidance is the most necessary. I am curious: If we're all being honest here...is this just another class warfare front or are people who can afford high 5 figure and 6 figure cars going to weigh in that double-spot parking is toolish?For the record I drive a decent vehicle but nothing that a rich person would consider "nice". I do my best to park on the end of a row so that I can move to the farthest end of this spot so as to be as far as possible from other cars. The Mrs does not exactly love this plan but it works for me. I've never crossed over and double-spot parked mainly for fear that some Hoopdee-driver will cause some damage while I'm away.

I know I'm jealous.I bet Coop drives a killer IROC. All shiny and stuff.

 

[Dave Baker]

Everyone cares about their cars, and most I know get very irritated when they see dings. I, for one, get angry every time my cars the slightest ding. But I would never, ever take two spots. It's rude and inconsiderate, not to mention selfish since I understand not everyone could take two spots.

Do I think keying a car that takes two spots is getting a little carried away? Yes, although I would have zero sympathy for that person.

Personally, I think people who are that selfish and rude should get the snot beaten out of them.

And as I mentioned earlier, one of my favorites was always letting air out of two tires. Financial damage is next to nil, but it sure causes them some hassle.

I'm not advocating keying cars..... but do you think that if you park normally with your fine,shiny automobile people will be lining up to ding your doors? I don't think so. Most of that stuff is inadvertant due to the incredibly small parking lot spaces combined with the giant cars on the road today. Parking at the back is fine...but by parking at an angle and taking up two spots you draw more attention to your car which in turn incites the potential for more parking lot justice.

To those who actually park across multiple spots this or defend it, what types of cars must you drive for this to be acceptable?

Can someone who really worked hard to earn his car and doesn't want dings in his Toyota Corrolla do this? I'm sure he wouldn't want any dings in his vechile either.

I wouldn't care how expensive or "classic" the car is. I would laugh if someone keyed any car taking two or more spots. My car is just as valuable to me as your classic is to you. Yet, somehow, I take only one parking spot and learn to deal with dings.

Hi Joe,I still feel if someone gets their car keyed because they took up two spots, it's what they deserved.In theory, what you are saying is correct. Give me two people: Person 1 goes around keying cars for kicks. Person two takes two spots because they are selfish. Here, person 1 is a tool of much greater magnitude than person 2. It's not even close.But if person 1 only keyed cars who take up two spots, I think it's different.I believe bad things should happen to anyone who is inconsiderate, rude and selfish. Keying their car is not an act of violence. It only costs the other money to repair.

How about working your tail off and then reaping the rewards by buying yourself the car of your dreams ... only to have some inconsiderate tool ding your door/fender.When I bought my car (first really nice car I have ever owned) it had 3 door dings within a freaking week.So now when I go shopping, I park in the back of the lot (usually about 4-5 cars away from the furthest car in the row) and put it at an angle so people can't park next to it.Do I deserve to have my car keyed? or tires flattened? or pee in my window?Ever notice the guys who park like this have REALLY nice cars? Maybe they are sick of the inconsiderate majority dinging up their cars.Try to have some compassion folks and look at both sides of the coin. Unless, of course, it's simply jealousy ...

You sir are an ###. I know you may not think it, but you are solely drawing attention to yourself nothing else, other than of course protecting your precious wonder-machine. Nobody wants their stuff messed up, but its part of interacting with other people. Life's hard, get a helmentI'll give you the best example. There is a guy in my parking lot at work. Yellow corvette, the license plate says "DAAAAAMN". Do you have a super cool license plate too?

What's that got to do with anything?My point was clearly: Guy who would even consider keying is a car is way higher up the tool scale than the guy that takes two spaces. Way higher.J

Both are tools. But to put it in "tool" perspective..Parking across 2 spots guy = screwdriverWilling to key a car guy = DeWalt 6 amp Drywall Screwdriver, Heavy-Duty with Depth-Sensitive Nosepiece

I park my 85 Cutlass longways across three spots. Now before you people start jawing about that..... it's close to being a classic.

The local news occasionaly will do a spot on how fast a chop shop can take apart a car. It would be so cool to see your car in pieces across those three spots. THAT would be classic.

Thank you....... but I really need to protect that baby.... what with the 4 mismatched tires, two hubcaps missing, a rusted roof, the paint job worn down and the stupid interior roof fabric billowing about as I drive down the road. I didn't think that this subject was so touchy.ADDED: The best thing about it is that it only has 85,000 original miles on it.

To those who actually park across multiple spots this or defend it, what types of cars must you drive for this to be acceptable?Can someone who really worked hard to earn his car and doesn't want dings in his Toyota Corrolla do this? I'm sure he wouldn't want any dings in his vechile either.

I drive a Corolla - Ill park anywhere I can squeeze in and still manage to exit the car. Ding it up baby!

That's why I always drive "The Rusted Beauty" this time of year...( In addition to the heat being always on). There is very little that the "beautiful car" people can do to it when I park it next to them.

Hi Joe,I still feel if someone gets their car keyed because they took up two spots, it's what they deserved.In theory, what you are saying is correct. Give me two people: Person 1 goes around keying cars for kicks. Person two takes two spots because they are selfish. Here, person 1 is a tool of much greater magnitude than person 2. It's not even close.But if person 1 only keyed cars who take up two spots, I think it's different.I believe bad things should happen to anyone who is inconsiderate, rude and selfish. Keying their car is not an act of violence. It only costs the other money to repair.

That's absurd. It is an act of vandalism. Depending on the paint job it may rise to a felony. Is the car keyer like the Lone Ranger to you? Dealing out justice with his keys? Give me a break.Personally I don't do it. But if someone is out at the end of the parking lot and in two spots, away from others, I don't see the big deal. To many people don't care about slamming their doors into whatever is parked next to them. People have done it to me while I was sitting in my car. Which was well inside the lines of my spot. If it weren't for rude, inconsiderate people then far fewer people would take two spots.

A minivan driver calling someone else toolish?

Manhood down?

Most of the time I'd agree with that. I've noticed alot of times though that the people taking up two spaces aren't in the rear of the lot.....but right in the middle of the lot. In addition, with the crowds around this time of year.....lots get pretty filled up. That being said, keying cars is not cool. If you really want to mess with the guy.... sit on his bumper and activate his car alarm. That should tick him off enough, should make him get the message and doesn't hurt anything.

I think that's a cool car.Too bad it doesn't look like this one or this one.
