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

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.

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.

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.

If you are in the middle of the lot you are a tool. And at this time of year I would agree it's very hard to find a space where it won't be a pain to others and you shouldn't do it.

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.

I think you missed the

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.

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

When they look good.... they look really good. Mine still has a nice engine but I'm not enough of a car guy to get the paint job and the interior fixed up. Besides, I only drive it about 1,000 miles a year.

NCC has it right here.Keying a car is way worse than taking two spots. I'm actually surprised this is even a discussion. I thought most everyone subscribed to the Pulp Fiction position on keying.It's not a remotely accurate "punishment" befitting of the "crime".J

Why do they need 2 spots if they are parked away from everyone else?

Yes, it's an act of vandalism. Perhaps a felony. But the only thing hurt by the car owner is his pocketbook.

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.J

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

[top dog]

I don't really see what the problem is unless the lot is pretty full. I normally park towards the back of the lot just because I can't stand sitting behind people that are waiting for someone else to load their car full of packages and it's 10x quicker just to park in the back and walk past all the people jockeying for a good spot. Whenever I see one of those 2 spot parked cars I just chuckle, shake my head and think, "What an ###.".

But then 3 seconds later I've forgot all about the tool parking job and have moved on with my life. I have WAY more important things in life to get worked up over than the guy who has no clue how to park their car.

Let's just say I disagree here. It might not befit the crime, but I certainly wouldn't feel badly for the car owner.As I said earlier, the keyer is a huge tool, especially if he does it for kicks. The owner who takes two spots is also a tool. They are both pond scum, but the keyer is only reacting to the first guy. Do I advocate that action? No. But I certainly think the parker deserves it if it occurred.Joe, do you ever park over two spots? If so, why? If not, why not?

Am I correct in assuming you do park in two parking spaces?

No I never park in 2 spots. I think it's pretty uncool. If I see a guy doing it, I think that's pretty lame.I've never remotely considered keying a car. That's off the charts uncool. Serious coward / scumbag area there. Guy that doesn't have the guts to do something to the guy he's mad at and instead does the coward key the car thing is way way down the list. And I've never had my car keyed.J

On Wednesday I bought a 2007 vehicle. On Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, I parked it in the lots just like everyone else and took my chances.

No door dings... Yet. But I understand that it's inevitable, and I can live with that.

 

[Dave Baker]

A weird story: My wife and I were at a Mexican restaurant a few weeks back, eating and watching some college football.

This one patron was loud and obnxious and irritating all around him. He was yelling, cursing and just plain annoying.

Finally, he went to get up from his bar stool, and started to lose his balance. He fell backward and smashed his head against the wall. His head first hit the wall, hard, and then the ground, hard. The paramedics had to come out. It was brutal to watch and it literally happened in front of our eyes (he had been between us and the TV). Not sure what happened to him, but he was conscious as he left. I was told he had a concussion.

The weird part about all of this is I did not feel any sympathy for the guy. He was such a jerk that I didn't care. Did he deserve to get hurt? Of course not. But I felt no sympathy for him.

Maybe it's the same for me with the person who takes two spots. Do they deserve to get their car keyed? Probably not. But I would not feel bad for them if they did.

I don't like waiting around for these tools, so I've been known to leave little notes under their wipers to let them know that they are "uncool" (as Joe would put it). Oh, and don't forget the cart parking on the driver's side with a little prayer for some wind.

If a girl cheated on her boyfriend, and to get back at her, he keyed her car, I would think he was a major tool, regardless of what she did to deserve it. And that's a cheating girlfriend. So a guy who keys another person's car simply because the person took up more than one parking spot, well he's a GIANT tool.

Pretty much works for me. If it bugs you so much be a man and face them over it. If you can't do that then let it go. 14 year olds key cars. Men deal with things like men.

You didn't say it but your comment suggested it - so just to be clear, do you think that people that park that way deserve nothing other than a disgusted glance?If so, what do they deserve? Clearly you think keying is too extreme, so what would be appropriate?

 

[Dave Baker]

If a girl cheated on her boyfriend, and to get back at her, he keyed her car, I would think he was a major tool, regardless of what she did to deserve it.

Would you feel badly for her that it happened?

What does that have to do with Joe's point?

With Joe's point? Nothing. It refers to my earlier point. So, would you?

I wouldn't feel badly for the cheating whore, but my lack of sympathy would have no effect on my conclusion that the cheated upon car-keyer was a major tool.

Exactly what I wrote earlier. Do they deserve it? Probably not. But I would I feel any sympathy for them? Hardly.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Keying a car is way worse than taking two spots. I'm actually surprised this is even a discussion. I thought most everyone subscribed to the Pulp Fiction position on keying.It's not a remotely accurate "punishment" befitting of the "crime".J

Just out of curiosity, what punishment do you think befits the crime?

Hi marauder,Are you asking what "punishment" I think befits the "crime" being taking two spots in the parking lot?J

 

[NCCommish]

No I never park in 2 spots. I think it's pretty uncool. If I see a guy doing it, I think that's pretty lame.I've never remotely considered keying a car. That's off the charts uncool. Serious coward / scumbag area there. Guy that doesn't have the guts to do something to the guy he's mad at and instead does the coward key the car thing is way way down the list. And I've never had my car keyed.J

If a girl cheated on her boyfriend, and to get back at her, he keyed her car, I would think he was a major tool, regardless of what she did to deserve it. And that's a cheating girlfriend. So a guy who keys another person's car simply because the person took up more than one parking spot, well he's a GIANT tool.

Other than our scorn? Pretty much. It isn't illegal. If I went around "punishing" everyone worthy of my scorn I wouldn't get much done. Let it go.

 

[Dave Baker]

Perhaps lot owners (malls etc.) should put up signs about taking two spots and that the cars will be towed if it occurs.

Yes. Personnaly, I liked the idea someone earlier in this thread had of letting the air out of the tires. No damage is done to the car but it would annoy the hell out of the tool.

Pretty much works for me. If it bugs you so much be a man and face them over it. If you can't do that then let it go. 14 year olds key cars. Men deal with things like men.

People who would key a car or deface someone's property are major league *******. Grow some balls and be an adult. All you are doing by damaging someone's vehicle when no one is around is showing what a huge coward you are. If you have a problem with someone, deal with them in person. Don't vandalize someone's property. I can't believe there are so many people that are advocates of this kind of action. Unreal.

What do they "deserve"? I guess they deserve to be called out for being inconsiderate tools. Like if someone is being inconsiderate by smoking in a non-smoking section, the untool-like course of action would be to call him on it. The tool-like action would be to wait for him to go to the bathroom and then spit in his food.Seriously, I don't get why Joe is getting static on this one. Keying cars is a cowardly, scumbag act. If some idiot parking in two spots bothers you that much, man up and say something. Or, if you want to be a giant tool, key the car.

No I key their cart like all the brave men do. I am not afraid of confrontation. If you cut in front of me I say something and you will move back. This is why I am often put in charge of situations where confrontation is likely, I have a backbone. I don't do something you'll never know I did. So I can give myself a little thrill at what a "bad boy" I am.

I've never keyed a car, seriously doubt if I ever would.And other than a disgusted glance when I see people taking up 2 parking spots, I just keep on walking and it's out of my head in 5 seconds.The only reason we don't see people taking up 2 parking spots all over the place is because they are afraid of getting their car keyed.So personally, if I see a car taking up 2 spots, and later when I come out and see it's been keyed, I feel zero sympathy for the car's owner and I feel reasonably confident that next time they'll either park in the back of the lot, or won't take up 2 spaces if they park in the front of the lot.

Got it.So your recommendation is to sit down and wait until the guy that's taking up 2 spaces comes out so you can say something to him.Other than maybe having to wait a couple of hours, maybe finding out that (surprise!) the person you just waited for is a jackass who couldn't care less about you being offended about his selfish parking habits, and maybe finding out that he also has no problem with sucker punching you and giving you a kick to the ribs before he drives off.I don't see any flaws with your plan.

You arrive at that conclusion because I think keying a car is way higher on the tool scale than double parking? That's all I've really been talking here.How do you think keying the car and double parking rate on the scale?J

Man up? That's about as annoying as step up. I'm not going to wait around for an inconsiderate ##### so I can "man up" but I'm not going to damage his property either. Chances are good I'll do just as I did on Friday - leave my cart in the space unoccupied by his car, preferably on the driver's side, and leave a note under the wiper telling him he's an inconsiderate ##### for thinking he's somehow entitled to take up 2 spaces because his car is so important to him.

I have found that rarely does someone not move. But if they don't I tend to go for sarcasm next. By the time I am rolling they have either moved or management/security is in the area and the people around us are laughing at them. Once management is involved then they move. BTW this is a problem I don't often have. People cut in front of people they perceive as pushable. I don't really give off that vibe I guess. I'm not particularly big but my wife says I look mad when I am just standing there not interacting with someone directly. People don't tend to push someone who already looks mad.

Of course the cart can be moved, but more likely, the cart will get blown by wind into the car and do the damage that you want to do but aren't man enough to do and let's you vandalize the car without actually vandalizing the car. I am all for the guy parking across 2 spots being called a tool etc...I said earlier that my friend does it with his nice benz, but again I add that he parks at the far reaches of the lot. Someone asked before why then does he park across 2 spots like that...well the simple answer is that people have gone and parked next to him for no apparent reason other then to park near his car and ding it up, as if to say you parked all the way out here to avoid me, well here I can park next to you anyway.

it singles the dude out in front of hundreds of customers for parking like a tool. it is fairly lame though.

How so? Why does a cart next to his car single him out any more than viewing his car would?
