Random petty shit that irks me

Well, since I’m female, I can normally only get the tires, but I’ll aim higher next time :slight_smile:

I don’t know about the keying, but if someone doesn’t want to get their precious car bumped, they can damned well park it in the less populated part of the lot, rather then taking up multiple spaces right up front. THEY should have to walk further for the convenience of parking closer, not me.

My ass and I are ready whenever you are, Sue.
MEBuckner and Lsura, I understand the pass on the left rule of escalator travel. I should have explained better: at the City Center here, there’s an escalator that goes down to BART (our subway system) that is basically a one-lane; it’s not wide enough to fit two people side-by-side, so when somebody comes running down behind me I can’t really pull over for 'em. So, as I said, take the fucking stairs.
Starbury, do you by any chance own a BMW? Regardless, I’m not sure it was machismo that motivated me or if it was merely the fact that I was out of rotten fruit and couldn’t think of any other way to retaliate. Sure, that kind of asshole-for-an-asshole revenge is immature. But maturity’s overrated. And man, did I have to pee.

Yeah, parking across two spaces is an assholish act. But for fuck’s sake, people you’re keying the fucking car? What the fuck are you trying to prove? So the guy has a fancier car than you. Boo-hoo. So he was a dick and parked it across two spaces so that you had to park further away. Really, I feel your pain. But doing a few hundred dollar’s worth of damage, or pissing on the hunk of scrap? That’s just sad. Sports-car man isn’t the only one in that scenario who’s making up for inadequate feelings of machismo.

Huh. Note to self. Preview for excessive use of the word “fuck”. True, this is the Pit, but I didn’t quite intend to use it three times in two short sentences. My apologies.

Actually, the $40,000+ extension of my diminutive penis was manufactured by Toyota/Lexus.

For the record, I have never double parked, but I have had my car keyed (for reasons unknown to me). That was definitely some random petty shit that irked me.

I know that people have addressed this issue, but I need to chime in.

Revedge, I’ll say this slowly: You’re… a… putz. I am aghast at the implication in your post that you are entitled to damage someone else’s property simply because they do something that annoys you. You “go out of your way” to do it? What the hell are you? Some kind of miscreant, malcontent criminal?

You, woodstockbirdybird, frighten me even more than Revedge. You did this act of vandalism in front of a witness? Someone you care about? Someone you hope likes you? WFT?!?

Badtz, I’m surprised at you and even more upset by your admission here since I’ve read your posts and interacted with you in the past. You key cars because you don’t like the way they are parked? Shame on you - Next time you post something that I disagree with, email me your address so I can throw a brick through your window.

Dude! Like, yeah… when I and my totally excellent cohort, Bill S. Preston, Esquire, were last out purchasing beverages at the local Circle-K, I defecated on the shoes of a co-shopper who took too long to find exact change! :rolleyes:

You putz, you make me physically ill. False_God, you want to “stick up for the little man”? Why don’t you try things that don’t involve being “childish, disgusting and possibly illegal”? You know, like being respectful, turning the other cheek, not jumping to conclusions and trying to make the world a nicer place rather than a smellier one?
The four of you should all face criminal charges. Fuck you… fuck you all.

This makes you “physically ill”? Jeez, I hope nobody tells you about the human rights violations going on in Afghanistan or the violence in the Middle East, or you might get a stroke or start hemmorhaging or something.
Yeah, I pissed on a car handle, BFD. “Instant Karma”, as John Lennon said. Anyway, I was more risible then, and hadn’t yet attained Buddha nature, as you so obviously have, O Wise One.
And I think the statute of limitations for urinating on an auto probably ran out about eight years ago, considering I committed the act in 1990.
One last thing: my date that evening that you’re so worried about? We ended up getting married for nine years and had two children together. She considers the incident a funny anecdote to tell her friends.
Overreact much, shitwipe?

So just so I have this straight…you talk about imaturity near the end of your post, yet you piss on cars??? A little hypocritical don’t you think?

For the Record…

  • I am the guy who runs up the escalator, not pushing. I in fact get very annoyed at those lazy fucks who park their fat asses in the very middle of it.

  • I drive fast in all lanes and very rarely use my blinker. Something might flash as I drive by… The red light, to me, simply means be more careful when crossing the intersection.

  • I don’t park over two spots, I park over THREE. No fucknut is gonna scratch my car, hell, I’ve parked over SIX before(it can be done if the lot is set up correctly). You want a parking spot? YOU set your alarm earlier and pick up the spots before me and my car get there.

  • Making lude comments about women is however disrespectful

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I…I think I’m misting up here…
Anything else irking you, just let us know.

After all this, you’re accusing me of immaturity?
Anyway, there’s a difference (in my mind at least) between an immature act of revenge committed in the heat of the moment and a pathological case of sexual infantilism/misogyny.
So, I did something “childish and immature” when I was 19. Sorry I wasn’t busy researching cures for leukemia or trying to balance the national budget, as apparently some of the saints on this board spent their teenage years. Surely none of you ever got drunk and acted like snotty assholes at any point in your lives. I’m so ashamed.
And mayberrydan, since I’ve never taken 'ludes, I’m not sure what kind of comments you’re referring to. *Lewd comments certainly are disrespectful.

I haven’t actually keyed the car of some pretentious asshole for the sole reason its illegal, and I’m not going to take even the tiniest chance of getting in trouble for such a stupid thing

HOWEVER; if you have the balls to do it (I sure don’t) I have no problem with it. IMO, the pretentious assholes (they’re not always men you know, so the $40,000+ penis extention doesn’t apply) can use as many fricking spaces as they like if and only if they park as far away from everyone else as possible. I mean if you don’t want you’re car scratched, either don’t take it anywhere or park it away from other vehicles.

So I can’t(spelling) spell, Sue (spelling) me (spelling).

Yahs eye em cawling ewe emmature. You are clearly still proud of the incident.

And I WASN’T calling you imature (spelling). I was calling you a hypocrit. There’s a difference.

You know, I was all set to use the “two wrongs don’t make a right” retort here, but then I realized that even that silly little argument gives you too much credit.

Woody, there are bad people all over the world who do bad things every day. Thankfully, most of them don’t brag about them in places that I can see.

I was less disturbed by the fact that you urinated in an innapropriate place than I was by the fact that you seem to be so proud of it. Plus, your post made it seem like you felt justified in the act.

Both of these facts are disappointing. It makes me upset when I hear of people mistreating one another, in Afghanistan, the Middle East or the Wal-Mart parking lot. This thread is not an appropriate place to deal with global issues of social crime, but it is the place for posters to flame one another.

I maintain that the act you so bragged of in so cavalier a manner was wrong, unjustifiable and disgusting. Your mentioning it made me thing less of you as a person; your attempts at justification and rationalization even more so.

Who the hell designated you guys the Parking Lot Cops?

Even if I am taking up 10 parking stalls (which I don’t, just one thankyouverymuch) you vandalize my property, I not only will press charges and have you arrested but I’ll be certain you pay for all damages.

If I see you do it to someone else, you can also be assured that I will report you.

If some jackass in a rust-bucket Pinto parked over the line would you feel so inclined to key his car? I’m guessing that it goes well beyond the annoyance of finding another place to park your car. Whether you admit it or not, I think it mostly boils down to petty jealousy that you aren’t behind the wheel of that Beemer or Porche, and that’s just pathetic.

Revedge: Wow. You poured paint on a car that was double-parked? You colossal asshole.

Some people like cars and see them as more than a mode of transportation, just like some people have a fast computer, expensive golf clubs, a nice house, pretty landscaping, or whatever. Fuckhead. My father is one of the least pretentious people I know. Nobody that knows him realizes he has a PhD and as such should be called “Dr.” People know he’s smart but he doesn’t rub it in. He’s a damn nice guy. And his one indulgence that he has spent his money on is a damn nice car. Not a BMW, sorry, but it did cost a lot of money. I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say here, but fuck it, about $70K. He occasionally double parks the car at the very back of parking lots when it’s not crowded. It causes no harm to anyone. And yet, you would go out of your way to key his car or otherwise damage it. This would bring him or someone like him, who spends money sparingly except on one thing, physical pain. FUCK YOU.

Hey, I don’t advocate keying anyone’s car, but anyone who double- (or triple- or quadruple-) parks in a crowded lot, within the first 10 spaces from the store, is nothing more than a grade-A prick. I don’t give a shit if they’re driving a Pinto, a Lexus, an Explorer, a Corvair, or an ultralight aircraft. If you don’t want anyone parking next to you, park waaaaaaaaaay at the back of the lot rather than making it difficult for everyone else. If you don’t want anything to ever touch your precious car, whatever it cost you, encase the goddamned thing in Lucite and park it in your living room.

I’d never purposefully cause damage to someone’s car, but I will squeeze in next to them if possible and make it more difficult for them to get out. I will also, given the opportunity, have them towed.

Do you really think so? An asshole’s an asshole, and I believe I would have done the same thing to any car. The fact is, though, I’ve rarely seen shiity hooptie cars taking up multiple spaces. It’s generally the expensive cars that don’t want to be touched, although I’m sure it does fuel class resentmnet.

*sdimbert, we simply disagree on what constitutes a heinous crime, I guess. Am I proud of pissing on that car? I don’t know that I’d go that far, but I’m sure as hell not remorseful, either. Maybe that makes me petty. Maybe it makes me immature. But it doesn’t make me a sociopath with no respect for anyone but myself. To me, parking like that is/was provocation, and the driver knew damn well what a dick they were being by double parking. I wouldn’t do it, and would expect some sort of retaliation if I did. So I’m part of the problem, not the solution, on that count, I suppose. I can manage to sleep at night regardless.
Anyway, we obviously have different ethical standards. It’s not that I don’t understand your position; I just don’t agree with it. If that means you think less of me, well, I’m not gonna lose any sleep over that either.

I agree with you Phil, people like that are inconsiderate pricks and I also agree that if they are so concerned about their car they need to park away from others or take the bus. However, vandalizing, or even worse, pissing on someone’s property is, at least IMHO is a much more despicable act than taking up two stalls.

I don’t care if you piss on cars. But don’t tell me that real life is not a heavy metal song. :mad:

You know, nobody said you have to agree with me.

Of course, people have said that you’re not allowed to urinate on other peoples’ property; that’s technically much more illegal than parking in more than one space in a parking lot, but I’m not going to go there.

It seems to me that most of the people condoning the vandalism of improperly parked cars in this thread might be getting a bum rap: Am I correct in assuming, Woody, that you would not vandalize my corvette if I parked in in two spots at the empty, back section of a large parking lot?

If the answer to that question is yes, then you (and the rest of the bunch) aren’t really as far off the deep end as the rest of us think. I mean, I still don’t find it acceptable to vandalize someone else’s property just because you don’t approve of the way they have used it, but I can understand your anger at the poorply parked car near a store - I simply can not understand you getting angry at a car parked in such a way at the back of the lot.

Regarding the issue of whether or not you are a sociopath, I have no idea where that came from. I didn’t say any such thing; I said that I disapprove severely of your behavior.
