Pet Peeve Poll

Post by Crackpot »

This is a question which has vexed me for about 20 minutes now ever since I was confronted with a moron in a small crossover SUV that parked over the line I mean it's not all that big they should be able to fit it in the 2-4 extra feet. My righteous annoyance was bewildered by the fact that I'm often annoyed by people in large vehicles who can't park within the lines. After all, someone who figured they needed something so big had better know how to drive it.

Which is the proper logic? Or is there some better reasoning one way or the other you can think of?

I always used to think, If you can't drive it park it, now however most of them can't do either. :roll:

For your own continued good cardiovascular health I suggest that you go with option 3 and try to forget it.

Now what really fills me with road rage is those who drive slowly in the passing lane.

They ought to be horsewhipped.

How about the cretins that take up TWO parking spaces so their precious car won't get dinged?

I don't mind if they park way far away and that there are plenty of other parking spaces.

The urge to "key" said vehicle arises when the lot is full and you've been circling aimlessly for what seems like hours. :twisted:

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Dales I have the same hate but to squees my Jeep into the space next to them (Best beside the driver's door) Leave my Neo Mastiffs in the jeep.
To come back and see a very dressy woman looking pissed off because she can't get in without coming close to these big dogs.

So good to hear the (You could of left me a little room to get into my car! Thoes dogs could of attacked me) spit The reply I am so sorry but you could of left room for everyone else.

+1 from me.

I'm thinking of having an illuminated sign made for my rear window;

So no one is going to take a stand? You all are going to take the easy way out? Not one is going to stand up and say Yeah they're both assholes, but, X really takes the cake!

Do that to me, your dogs might get a treat! Say, some hamburger with a dozen or so Ex-Lax pills in it. Have fun!

With that and with the gallon of water in your gas tank.

You could but you have to park like a dick before I would park you in
Just for the record Neo Mastiffs are very big but one of the gentlest breeds of dog. You would just be crule to do anything to them

Anyone who can not park in a given space is an arsehole.

I have had to get Gob to re-park on a number of occasions as his definition of between the lines and mine are significantly different.

Hint, if one wheel is touch any part of the line, you are NOT between the lines.
Bah!

Old people who don't belong behind the wheel. The ones who can't see past the end of the hood and the ones who don't remember the difference between the brake and gas peddle. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............. :wank :mron

Nothing embarrasses Hen and Hatch more*, than my "creative parking".

You know the sort of thing, parking a car in a space just that little bit smaller than the car, parking half way up a hedge, parking in the middle of disused building sites, in kids paddling pools that sort of thing.



*Apart from "The dance of the flaming arseholes." And scratching my balls in public. And just about every other thing I do in public...

So, you're saying I'm missing an "I'm one of those assholes " poll option.

Just another example of our biased polls I guess.

It's a well-known fact that almost all drivers think most drivers really suck - but think they themselves are really great drivers. ;)
