Hey Freak!

OK, a little while ago, I posted a link to a news article where some dude wasn't paying attention in traffic, and he rear ended a stopped Semi while going around 70mph... and the "moral" of the story was that we all need to pay more attention while driving. I mean, we all drive everywhere, every day. But really, I think that a lot of people take it for granted... and they don't pay attention, not realizing that they're piloting a multi-ton vehicle, easily capable of doing a lot of damage if not controlled properly. Seriously.

Well, today I was in a parking lot, and I was reminded of another one of my huge, huge driving pet peeves - people who speed in the parking lot.

You see, I parked my car, and started walking to Rubio's, and this big ass penis-substitute truck came hauling by. My question is, you're in a parking lot. What's the motherfuckin big hurry? To get a space two feet closer? Walk your lazy ass, bitch!

It's so simple. My only point is - it's a parking lot. You are guaranteed not only to have a lot of pedestrians around, but there will also be a lot of people backing out of their parking spots. Caution should be the order of the day.

I dunno... is it unreasonable of me to expect people to drive safely in parking lots? Fuck, it shouldn't be, yanno?

you're such a pussy.

lol...I totally agree though.

-z

let me add a peeve to that...people who drive diagnonally across parking lots. An accident just waiting to happen. They put lanes in parking lots for a reason.

I agree, man. 100%. F'in people.

Speaking of which... [read this]

Parking lots have some of the highest accident rates around. My driving instructor made me do an entire class in one, and I almost had my leg taken off while stepping out of a car because some douchebag decided to back into the car. Lucky for my my ex pulled me back into the car in time.

Then the guy had the nerve to say it was our fault for stopping behind him (before he started to move his vehicle, there were no reverse lights on) and refused to provide insurance info. So we kept him blocked in and called the cops, who filed a police report stating the accident was 100% his fault, our insurance didn't budge, his skyrocketed.

May I add a parking lot complaint? I have had to crawl into my car from the passenger's side twice in the last few days due to some asshole in a huge truck/suv parking so close to me, that I couldn't enter on the driver's side. Now, I'm 5'7" and I weigh 122. It ain't me. I did leave a nasty note on their windshields, unfortunately, the security cameras prevented the deserved keying.

Ugh. that's the WORST. I once got in an accident because a big huge penis truck was parked at the end of a row and I couldn't see past it a SPEEDING teenager. I slowly creeped my car past the penismobile to see if the cost was clear, by the time I saw her, I had to step on the break so I slid into her. (The lot was EXTREMELY icy, seemingly another reason to NOT SPEED IN THE PARKING LOT?!!)

The police deemed it "no fault" but ... hello!

And another thing. Why do so many people need big ass trucks? (emphasis on "ass") Cause I think if you don't NEED one, you shouldn't be allowed to own one.

Here, Here!
or is it
Hear, Hear! ?

I recently moved to North Carolina and people do not know how to park. Anytime the boy and I go anywhere, we can EASILY spot five or six people who are taking up three spaces or more, it is that bad. So now we have resorted to taking pictures of their bad park jobs with our camera phones and leaving little business cards we had printed that say they should learn how to park. Yes, I have too much time on my hands, but I also know how to park.

God, I hate trucks...

The "penismobile" reference is causing a minor fit of giggles over here :D

I too suffer the idiotic parking lot behaviour at work, where it is a PRIVATE lot. Idiots park freakin' SIDEWAYS there and take up a minimum of 4 spots. I'm waiting for the bosses to make good on their "we will tow you" threats, but I doubt that'll ever happen...

And as far as the speeding complaints, I get that same kind of thing on my street where there are children playing. It's right off of the boulevard, so people seem to think the speed limit is 50. So dangerous. Wish we could put a police cruiser on the corner to slow these retards down.

I'm a new driver (less than 3 months on the road) but I am amazed by the stupidity I see everyday.

Like today, I went to the mall and I parked really far away from the entrance (I know my limitations...I get nervous squeezing in to park with all those cars) , so anyway, I am walking through the car park and a Nissan Frontier comes barrelling around a corner, tires screeching and nearly lays into me then begins to blow his horn maniacally. Really if I had a two by four I would had smashed his windscreen.
