> [@Napier](#): > > The only person I know with drunk driving arrests has been caught three times in the last decade, all in our home county. First time he got a stet, second time was a tiny fine, and third time just a couple years ago was a larger $200 fine. This tiny sample of 1 angers me because it looks like the laws have no teeth. I see the billboards, but doubt them. The revocation of the drivers license by the Secretary of State (or DMV) is the real punishment. A second DUI is _anything_ but a slap on the wrist, as far as driving privileges go. ---

I’m at grad school in a snowy bit of the country. There’s one major, large parking lot for the entire college, and snow reveals the assholes very clearly. My favorites are the people who park in a prime space close to the door, and then leave their cars there for weeks or months on end. Those cars become more and more obvious as they accumulate snow on and around them, since plows can’t clear their space. Lots of people leave their cars in the lot when they go home or away elsewhere for a while, but most of them have the courtesy to park clear back in an out of the way corner. It’s the jerks who insist that their abandoned car have the best spot in the lot I can’t stand. Right now, I’m walking past a fancy blue Mustang twice every day covered in a foot of snow. Asshole. And, of course, there are the snowstorm parkers. Last storm, someone had the luck to find a clear, empty spot near the entrance. But why limit yourself to just one? He managed to park across FOUR spaces at once. Asshole. ---

Apparently, while spouse was getting into the car the fine jumped from $500 to considerably more based on her verbal abuse and threatening to have the cops (there were two) fired for doing their job. As he’s pulling out she takes a swing at one of the cops with her purse and next thing she knows she’s face-down on the hood of her car getting cuffed. > > Sometimes, there is justice… And I wish he had been able to film the events because I would love to see how many hits that would get on YouTube. What a nice story! Too bad the cops had to let her off so easily. 🙂 ---

I posted this a few years ago: “I’ve actually seen this, and it had a twist that made it even better. I went to a gas station in Manchester, NH about 4 years ago; they had 2 handicapped spots. There was a car, with no handicapped tag or plates, parked diagonally across both spots. I went back to my car to get my phone to call the cops; just then, the offending parker came out, got in his car, and left. He was wearing a SCOUTMASTER uniform!!!” [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10875210&highlight=Scoutmaster#post10875210](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10875210&highlight=Scoutmaster#post10875210) ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > She then laid into me Wrong and Strong! I’ve got a pulled shoulder - very painfull and hard to turn to look behind me - and my power steering needed to fix - it’s not working. So no prob, I get into town early and grab a parking spot at the top of the road so I can just pull forward over the no parking lines when I leave. Dude parks on the yellow lines in front of me. He’s in a shop but his friend is in the car so I ask the friend to get the driver so he can pull forward. Yes I could shunt back and forth painfully dragging the steering wheel, but you know if this guy pulls forward two feet I can swan out\* like I planned \*and he can reverse back into a legal parking spot. Dude comes out, starts ridiculing my driving skills - did I buy my licence etc etc. Lucky I had a passenger or I might well have rammed his bumper right there. ---

Well, there’s the mustache twirling of the antagonist, while she talks about “cripples and retards.” And the cops loudly announcing to all gathered what the fine would be. And the woman taking a swing at a cop. Say, gang, it would make a great show! We’re pretty good at singing and dancing, and we’ve got [the old barn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?f=18) we don’t use for anything! **DrDeth** , you can be one of the cops. Whaddya say? ---

> [@bup](#): > > And the cops loudly announcing to all gathered what the fine would be. > > And the woman taking a swing at a cop. Nope, not in the story. You make assumptions. The fine is often posted on the sign. If you get a ticket, there’s your fine. if you make the cops handcuff you, yes, there will be additional fines and penalties. With her purse? Sure, why not? Angry & entitled people do strange things. ---

The antagonist in the OP sounds like typical behavior from the folks I deal with everyday. Not a stretch at all. Heck, throw in assault with an ax and it’ll still sound reasonable to me. ---
