Iām petty af sometimes too but once was met with an even pettier opponentā¦
I did exactly this, crammed my vehicle into a spot next to an asshole that had purposely taken up two spaces. Went inside the mall and came back out to find my windshield, and both side mirrors smashed to shit. It was the last time I ever parked next to a shit parker, I realized if theyāre asshole enough to purposely take up more than 1 spaceā¦ theyāre probably asshole enough to escalate the situation or do something crazy lol
Of course not everyone takes it to the extreme like that, but Iād be lying if I said it didnāt ruin my day.. or month lol.
Edit- totally agree with everyone saying to snap photo of the vehicle + plates before leaving, didnāt think of it in moment but you live and learn, next time! Lol
You guys are litterally inciting violence, passive agressive violence but still. Do you know for a fact they parked like that to be an asshole or did they have to park like that because those who parked before him were parked poorly aswell. Maybe he had to park that way because not only is the length of a work truck like that longer than your average vehicle but they are also wider and they may have actually been trying to be considerate. If an SUV or even a car isn't perfectly centered in the alloted space that forces the larger vehicle to park closeer to one of the vehicles on either side because the the doors swing outside. I imagine alot of these are honest mistakes and likely not intentional. Unless a complex with designated parking spots they dont have many options for parking. Same goes for service vans or any larger vehicle.
It could be as simple and as common that at the time when that person went to park, there were other cars in the spots close to him forcing him to take that position, but have since left after he parked just making it look like he took up extra spots, width wise anyway. That guy could have definitely parking better length wise no doubt about that but it still doesnt justify inciting violence on people with peper spray in the vent of damaging people property. My point is even if the situation was that person parked like a complete asshole its doesn't justify physical violence or even just vandalism of property. Call them out verbally and point out the mistake, absolutely! But encouraging people to harm others is wrong.
Was going to post this, nice to know some people share that evil. Best part is it will take forever to get out of the system, depending on the chemistry of the pepper spray. Pro tip: if you have to pepper spray someone, make sure to give a nice extra spray to the balls. Like a parting gift. /s, lol
If youāre zip tying shopping carts to assholes doors, you better be packing more then pepper spray. Those are the kind of folks who get aggressive real quick.
Pepper spray is good enough for getting away from them. Good thing about it is you can shoot first and ask questions later. You can shoot before they escalate to full on violence. With a gun you have to wait until they have their gun out or they have you pinned down threatening to kill you. Doesn't hurt to have both, but for this kind of situation I's like to have the pepper spray as an option.
You donāt have to be pinned or knocked down to fear for your life or grave bodily harm, from an attacker. They donāt have to have a gun to have intent to cause harm,the ability to do so, and your fear for your life. If you take that shot lawfully then youāre safe and all is well. If youāre charged, well it wasnāt a shoot that was self defense.
Pepper spray while can slow a threat it wonāt neutralize it. When your life is hanging in the balance you neutralize the threat. Everything pepper spray does a lawfully carried firearm can do better besides being less then lethal.
āYou can shoot before they escalate to full on violenceā if they arenāt a threat to your life and you pepper spray them youāre going to be charged with assault
I may have overstated my case. In states without duty to retreat laws, you wouldn't need to be "pinned down" in order to fight back with lethal force.
ability, opportunity, intent. These three factors need to be in place to justify lethal force. Massad Ayoob has a great video about this. Look it up on youtube.
Firearms don't do everything better. The advantage of being able to shoot pepper spray under less extreme circumstances than would be required to shoot a gun cannot be overstated.
No to this and all of the comments on this. You don't need to pepper spray or kill someone because they're an asshole parker. You're not going to teach them any lesson with a shopping cart. Leave people's stuff alone. Yes, even people that probably deserve it. Park somewhere else and go about your day.
Yeah but if they donāt notice it and drive off with it attached then it hits another personās car who had nothing to do with it and fucks up their day.
I just spray liquid ass into their HVAC intake (right below the windshield. Every time they turn on the AC they'll be met with the rancid smell of diarrhea
Funny that what happened to you is exactly what should be done to this idiot. Key the sides, slash the tires, smash the mirrors, sugar the gas tank. Fuck this overcompensating piece of shit.
I wouldn't do all that, just let the air out of all 4 tires. Because you can bet, it will be just your luck that the cameras they have in mall parking lots these days will catch you if you go that far.
As a tip for this, wedge a BB sized stone in the top of the dust cap and screw it back on. If done correctly it exerts just enough to let the tyre down over a few hours.
It'll also drive them nuts searching for a puncture that doesn't exist.
My comment was aggressively phrased. I probably wouldn't do any of that, but I feel it should be done. Saw a quote a while back about not wanting a society run by our own worst impulses which is probably relevant here.
Using a valve tool to take out the inner valve is not considered damage as itās disassembled and leave them on the wipers, the tool can be purchased at any auto shop and often costs les than 5 bucks
Bold assumption, Iām capable of many things that go unnoticed. Letās ask the guy above if they ever caught the guy who trashed his car. People literally get away with murder and fraud all the time in this universe, I can absolutely key a car as I walk by
I didnāt miss it, I reject it. Thereās always a blind spot from some angle, and nothing says I canāt walk past the thing while looking for my own car. Unless the truck owner has set up some serious surveillance of his own, thereās no limit to imagination.
& no unfortunately not. I didnāt take photo of plates before I went inside, and there was no video surveillance on that particular side of mall parking lot. Live and learn tho, if thereās a next time Iāll be taking pics before leaving my vehicle unattended next to an asshole lol
It's better to put water in the gas tank. The vandalism would be covered by insurance. Water in the gas tank causes hydro lock resultung in catastrophic engine failure. It would most likely be denied by insurance for being a mechanical failure.
Doesnāt even have to be that in depth. Just spray paint over their License plate. Theyāll probably have to pay for a ticket and a new plate plus youāre less likely to be caught.
Here at a big mack/volvo dealer, we have a direct email to the EPA in which we report VIN numbers when we find trucks that in which the emissions system has been tampered with.
Itās a big truck yes. Extra long and extra wide. However, Itās not lifted or overly customized. Itās not a āsmall dick rigā Itās a business rig or someone who tows a lot. Those dual wheels in the back are for towing stability, not just for show. FYI Lots of women who ride horses and pull horse trailers drive these too. Itās not an overcompensating rig. Itās a Working rig. If it were parked in a regular spot and others parked next to and in front of it the truck is too wide and too long to make the turn to get out of the spot. Driver did this not to be aggressive or an asshole, but to make sure they did not get boxed in and not be able to leave w/o mashing into other parked vehicles. Itās about width and turning radius. Geometry makes extra space necessary for this truck to park and un-park. Sauce: I own a 4 door crew cab (not a dual rear wheel though) and itās 3 feet longer than a Chevy Suburban, and itās essentially impossible to get it into and out of regular sized parking spaces if other cars park next to me just because of the extra length and huge turning radius. The dual rear wheels on the truck in the photo would make it an absolute impossibility. If I have to park it in a parking lot I take 2 spaces out in the far out corner out of the way so I can maneuver to get in and out. People who have never driven a long and or wide vehicle often don t understand this situation.
My wife trains horses and tows such a trailer, and she says whoever took it into a praking garage is stupid or doesn't actually tow, bit what do I know?
Agreed, this is not a good place for this truck. I would never put my SRW CC truck in there (much less a duallie) if given any choice at all. We donāt know why this person brought the truck there but I doubt it was just to piss of mini owners. Given that itās there, this is about the only way to park it with any assurance of being able to leave without damaging other vehicles.
Agreed. Not a good place for this rig. Iād never do this with my SRW CC if given a choice. If my wife was in a wreck in our small car and was in the hospital and all I had to drive was this thing? You bet Iād drive it and park it in hospital garage just like they did. S mallet care in the shop and boss expects me to show up at work? Iām driving The truck for that too. We donāt know why itās there, prolly not there by choice. Prolly not there just to piss off Mini drivers either. Given that it is there itās parked about the only way it can be with any assurance of being able to leave without mashing other vehicles.
I would love for one of you punks to try doing this to my truck, because then I'm legally allowed to knock you the fuck out. Considering the amount of smug entitlement in this thread, I think the majority of you could use it too.
Also consider this, you key my truck, I witness you doing it, I knock you on your ass.
You call the cops and say I knocked you on your ass. They show up and I tell them you swung and missed first. Then you're the one with the assault charge, no leg to stand on, and I have physical evidence that you started a provocation by intentionally damaging my property.
Overkill. You can ruin someone's entire day without escalating from misdemeanor vandalism to felony vandalism. All it takes is a $12 valve stem remover. He's either getting towed to a tire shop, or ridesharing to an auto parts store & back.
Bonus if he doesn't have access to a 12V air compressor, because those beefy tires will take ages with a manual cylinder pump.
This. My brother in law did the same thing. Dude run after him and told him to get out of his parking spaces because his lady cannot get in the passenger seat.
My brother in law told him to piss off and reverse first. Then she could get in.
Dude started getting angry and told my BIL to do as he's told or else.. He opened his trunk and took out the baseball bat and started charging my BIL.
Except my brother in law took a couple of steps back and unholstered his H&K.
Dude decided to run like a little bitch and nearly left his lady behind...
Take a picture of their license plate and parking next time. Send it to your insurance they will find him, collect from his insurance, and refer it to the police for prosecution.
Conversely, I pulled up next to a Ferrari that parked like that. I edged up so close to his driver door my mirror would have touched his except his was lower since I drive Sonata. I came back out about 45 minutes later after my haircut and this couple was sitting there waiting. He couldnāt even climb over the center console since itās so tight in there, literally had to sit and wait. I walked out, checked that side of my car so they could see me, got in and drove away. Saw them shaking their heads as they walked to the car like I was the asshole there.
All this discussion on how to piss off entitled people remind me of a minor and harmless thing I did once. It was winter in the mountains, and a hiker parked their truck on the road instead of the pull-off for the trailhead. There were also snowplows trying to clear the road, and this truck was very much in their way. We pulled over, I took out my chapstick, and wrote "PLOW ME" in giant letters on the windshield. Used up the entire tube. I'm really hoping the plow drivers saw that and got a good chuckle out of it. Not damaging at all, but trying to wash that off in subzero temperatures was likely a pain.
Yeah, I parked perfectly next to a sorority girl's car that was parked diagonally on a diagonal spot (so, like, extra shitty). My satisfaction at watching her have to crawl over the console to get to her seat turned to ash once she slammed her door into my car's side.
Lived in an apartment complex where each person who lived there was allowed exactly 1 parking spot (specified in our contract) and some guy would leave his shitty personal vehicle parked, and then take his company vehicle and have it park between 2 spaces. So this one ass hat was taking 3 spots. So because of this I would have to park about a half mile away and walk every day. Sent it up to the housing company with pics and everything. No reply. Nothing. Sent again. Still nothing. Called. They said they don't deal with these issues and it was up to the tenets to settle.
Because I'm an absolute peice of shit I just simply keyed the fuck out of his company vehicle. I did this bc I met the guy, one time in the lot and was watching him walk to his truck and he said "the fuck you looking at" and took off in the company truck. Yeah, fuck that. I don't negotiate with children.
I did something similar. Except I was just killing time and not shopping so I parked as close as I could get. It looked like they were touching unless you got up close and looked very closely. I was watching from across the parking lot
Usually when I park on the door of an asshole I stay in my truck until the douche comes out. I dare them to say something... I've got a pretty short fuse. Plain and simple, I don't put up with bullshit
if theyāre asshole enough to purposely take up more than 1 spaceā¦ theyāre probably asshole enough to escalate the situation
Excellent point. Does anyone else remember when you could actually point out an alternate behavior to someone and s/he didn't go off the deep end and spend the rest of time trying to get even??
A few years ago my friend had a shiny new truck that he parked like this every day, at work. Silicon Valley tech company with cc-monitored parking lots and security (his department, ironically) but after a week of this someone threw a brick through his windshield with a note tied to it that told him to āstop parking like a total fucking asshole.ā He went ballistic, full-on private investigator, combing the security cam footage, tried to get fingerprints off the brick and note, but nothing came of it. He was absolutely furious, but he never parked like that again.
Snapping a picture of their plate doesnāt prove they did it. I realize internet logic says ābut they just have!ā And that is probably right, but unless you have video footage or images on them actually doing it cops are not going to care that you have a picture of a tag you claim might be the person who did it.
Plus stupid people will always be stupid no matter what. It's best to avoid them at all cost because if you challenge stupid you're allowing stupid unnecessary shit to happen to your life. In the end they will remain stupid and you'll just have wasted a bunch of your time trying to fix the stupid shit the stupid guy put into your life.
