Street parking around a local university is already tough enough to find… let alone a spot that lasts more than an hour. I found a great spot this morning, turned my indicator light on well in advance and slowed down. I was all set to begin my parallel parking antics, when you showed up behind me and decided that the best spot to stop was an inch from my bumper. Okay, maybe you weren’t paying attention. I sat in my car patiently awaiting for you to go around… well no, you sat there in your car and cockblocked my parking spot… Not only that, but you held up 5 other cars behind you. I wish I was driving a massive truck so I could back up over your fuckin car… I wasn’t driving a massive truck, and had no option but to drive off, and your proceeded to steal the space that I arrived at first. You sat in your car with a look of entitlement on your face. It’s first come, first serve, dipshit. Go waste your own time and try to be the first to find your own damn spot. —Ol’ManCallahan

ever hear tell of flattening tires o.p., that’ll fucking learn the beeatch.
That person is a total douche, check the doors if unlocked put the windows down if possible and hope for rain or turn the lights on to drain the battery.
is it seinfeldish, could he do the pull in? could they park without you moving your vehicle? if the answers are no perhaps you should have been more assertive
Sounds Seinfeldish to me. I am a backer-inner. I can’t count the times I’ve been about to back into a spot only to have someone pull a Mike Moffit to my Costanza. I just go find another spot in my non-confrontational way. Next time I am just going to sit there so they can’t have the spot a la Le Costanza.
so stop being a ‘backer-inner’, dive in and park.
Ummm stop being a cheap ass and buy a fucking parking pass?
I have no sympathy for you, OP. Take the bus or buy a pass and stfu.
Should have keyed his car… If common decency doesn’t motivate this person, perhaps damage will?
Even a parking pass doesn’t mean you will find a parking spot. Unless you arrive early, they’re usually all filled up.
Dal will over-sell their parking passes just like the airlines will over sell a flight thinking that there will be a no-show factor.
also steaming: it’s the summer. There are plenty of places to park on campus (any campus!) during the summer.
And people wonder why they get shot around here. Fuckin’ prick may of parked there, but the fucker would be leaving on a flat bed.
I like being a backer-inner. I’m not going to stop either. Na-na-na-na-na, so there! Thhhhpppppp!
you’re lucky you weren’t on that bus on joe howe drive today too,o.p., it was standing for a fucking long time, thanks to some entitled moms with too many kids, and not enough sense, to keep their legs closed. go fucking figure.
I just roll down the window and wave them on or around with my blinker and reverse lights on. Works for me.
Hey Lifer. Were you actually on the “Weather Girl” express when it began “Rainin’ Strollers”
Hey LS. Saw that on the news this evening. They were asked to move to the back and put up a fuss.
Those things are like aircraft carriers.
If you read the bitches in the past about people trying to navigate around said strollers you get the stink eye from the mommies cause the bus takes off and you trip over them.
You never should have moved.
A person parking has the right of way.
I wouldn’t have moved for Jesus Christ himself.
Yes you would.
no guys, not that one, but was on one last year, same type of shit, different players, all self entitled welfare moms, and 4 or 5 kids by different sires. makes me fucking sick it does. there was one, get this now, had 1 white kid,1 black,1 chinese,1 native, and one, i couldn’t even be sure of the pedigree. all under 5 years old.the white kid was only about a month or so old. fucking disgusting how some young broads will spread their legs so easy. why wasn’t this 40 odd years ago, damn.
Funny thing OP, if you had backed into him, by law, he’d have been in the wrong. There’s a funny law in the books of good ol’ NS that states if you hit the back of a vehicle with your vehicle you’re in the wrong regardless of how your car was positioned. This is suppose to prevent re-ending standards starting back up hill after a red as well as allowing for proper parralel parking which is to BACK IN. Go figure.

Play mind games with the driver behind you. Next time it happens, turn on your emergency flashers, get out of the car, and walk around the car to front passenger side tire…..pretend to check the tire, and them pretend to talk on your phone. Leave them waiting behind you. Eventually that ass hugger behind your car will go away pissed off that you delayed them…and with road rage 🙂
