What grinds my gears.

You know what really grinds my gears? People who have poor parking lot driving ability/etiquette. First off you pull into a parking spot, you don't back in, you pull in. Unless you are planning on robbing the Wendy's you do not need to make a fast exit, pull in and get the **** out of my way so I can park and go get my frosty. I say once you pass a parking spot you lose all privilages granted to that spot. If you are pulling into a mall, notice how there is no stop sign facing you? Know what that means? It means you don't have to ****ing stop. Move goddammit. Oh yeah, and if you go to get into your car and notice that there are people parked to your left and right, know what that means? It means the ****ing parking lot is busy. Once you sit down you have 5 seconds to get the **** out of the spot. It is not time to do your make up, adjust the radio, make a phone call, read a book, do your taxes, or rub one out on the steering wheel; its time to go the **** home.

I love people who take up two spots, makes me wanna key their car.

Yeah. And whats with the pompus, fancy car driving *******s who think they're so special they need to park 50 spots away from everybody? Listen little dick, you're just providing a likely target for some pissed off shopper to come and park 3 inches from you. Get over yourself and join the rest of us in parking lot hell. *******s.

I like the people on Arena Dr. that see an open right lane and 2 lanes to the left backed up 100's of yards and go to themselves, boy these people must be dumb, they didn't use this right lane. Then they proceed to drive up the empty lane just to get turned around. What they think we're stupid???? Ooops we just didn;t notice the empty lane. :doh: our bad.

Don't agree with your first point. It's easier to back into a spot. I go into the spot empty handed. I come out of the Wendy's with my hands full, so pulling right out with the Frosty in hand is easier than backing out with the Frosty. And really what difference does it make to you? You have to wait 2.6 seconds longer?

Generally agree with your other points. But probably not with the same fervor as you. :laugh:

Having trouble controlling your anger since your pal Sunstone is gone? :silly:

I understand what your say expected for backing into a spot, for suv and long bed pickup trucks and longer cars (ie lincoln and marques style cars) sometimes it easier to back in then pull in. Hey now that I think about it, sometimes that works with woman as well!

Dan, doesn't it take more precesion to back in between two parked cars than it is to back out into an empty driveway? This is something that has always baffeled me. And something that really "grinds my gears" is when trying to merge onto a very busy interstate and everybody is doing the zipper thing and then the jerk who feels like he's too good to let anyone in front of him and rides the persons bumper in front of him so as to block any access.:mad:

What grinds me up is when you have two busy lanes merging into one and people speed up and tailgate to not let someone in front of them. As if its a flipping race or something! If everybody just let one car merge in each, those things wouldn't back up near as bad.

Rince, i totally agree with your first post, totally disagree with this one. If they want to walk, fine. Leaves a close spot open for me.

What i CANT stand are people who think their car is so nice they get to park across 2 spots.

Guess what? NO car is so nice that it deserves to make me walk an extra 8 feet. :finger:

And 2 motorcycles parked next to each other, both taking up a whole space. PARK TOGETHER DOUCHEBAGS.

My pet peeve with the parking is the people that buy the big SUVs and then have zero ability to park them or to back out of a parking space with them.

If you can't drive it don't buy it. Get something smaller that you can handle.

Or when your motoring through a parking lot and you let somebody walk across out of courtesy. Then they act all hard and walk extra slow like you owe them something or like they just stuck it to the man (you). Very frequent at Walmart parking lots.

Agreed. I love the idiots who pay no attention to the 'lane closes in 1500 ft' or 'lane merges 1 mile' sign. The jerk has to wait til the last possible moment to merge into traffic and ends up disrupting the traffic flow...when he could have avoided that by casually merging in with the rest of us a half-mile ago.

Parking lots typically don't bother me...although, while doing some Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago I did get a little annoyed with a stack of cars clogging up the parking lot aisle. A couple of idiots in the front are following people who are walking to their car so they can sneak into their spot when they leave. Normally, that's okay....but when there are 50 open spaces you can see at the back of the lot...well, pisses me off when you don't want to walk an extra 100 ft or so...you gotta have that space that is closest to the mall.

I dunno, somehow it's easier for me to back in.

And YES, I'd like to ram that guy who won't do the regular alternating car thing. God forbid ONE CAR will get in front of him and force him to get to his destination 2 milliseconds later.

Hey pal, get off the goddamed highway if you can't show a shred of common courtesy you pavement hogging prick!!!

Yeah YOU, pudgeboy!!! I'm talking TO YOU!!!!

Yeah just smile and wave like a fricking idiot, you moron, I'll wipe that smile right off your fat. . .

Woah. Uh-oh.

Hello Mr. Jankowitz! What a pleasant surprise. I didn't recognize you! Yes, mom and dad are doing fine, thanks.

I'll tell them I saw you. Have a nice day. :doh: :paranoid:

That reminds of the Upper Deck at RFK...in some of the sections one side of the steps only went up 4 rows and ended abruptly at someone's seat. Every game we'd laugh at people who would come back with a tray full of beers and nachos and start making the hike up to the top only to look up with a startled look on their face because the steps had run out and someone was sitting right in front of them.... and they had to turn around and go back down.
