Parking Putzes

[kentauros]

Why can't people park right anymore?!

While I stopped at a place to eat on the way home (I had to work late, so I waited out traffic and had some good food) four guys came in as a group. I looked up and saw what was likely their vehicle, parked across four spaces, widthwise! I didn't say anything as they all looked in such good physical shape that I wasn't about to speak up. Still, why did they have to park that bright red and white monstrosity with the big "60" on the side across four perfectly good spaces in a mostly-empty parking lot? They'd have been in trouble for a few seconds if anyone had dared to park in front of them. Luckily for them, no calls came over their radios while they ate out of their to-go boxes at a nearby table.

But why couldn't they have just parked in the Fire-lane like everyone else?

:P



(Figured I'd bring even more fire-department controversy to the Lounge. No sense in y'all being left behind GD ;))

1. I stand outside of work

And just laugh and laugh and laugh at the idiots who try to parallel park. It's even better when they put their money in the wrong meter.

2. simple answer: because they can

i don't like it either, but are you willing to confront them over it? alrighty then.

3. Figures. Probably they were wearing gang insignias, too.

Big ole' SUV-looking gas-sucking monstrosity. NO ONE NEEDS A VEHICLE THAT BIG!!!1

4. That's pretty fucked up - I hate people like that!

:mad:

They probably had a radio blaring in the gas-guzzler the whole time, didn't they?

5. I couldn't tell about that.

They were actually parked halfway out and had to walk more then twenty feet to get to the cafe.
But I'll bet they left it running! Damn water-wasting, diesel-sucking anti-fire and anti-environmentalists


Wish I'd had my camera to snap a shot of their boxy multi-use vehicle for the local tabloid FOX news.
