From the balcony of my home, I just watched the driver of this "Smart" Car park in such a way that, if they'd have moved slightly forwards or backwards, would have allowed a second, full-size car to also park in the space.




But they didn't.

I am sorely tempted, but the fact is that I have my own dedicated parking spot, and never need to park in that area. As such, they are spared my wrath.

For now.

Chicago *******-parkers: fear me. I have nothing to lose.

As of this day, I am the parking Batman.
I have often thought of the removal of valve stems as a means to an end. However you can accomplish the same thing by using a pebble small enough to fit into the valve cap. If it's tight enough it will stay in there and keep doing its job.

If I have the chance I park in end spots far away from everyone and maybe 80% of the time come out to find some genius parked like a douche next to me (this is no matter what car I am driving). Guess they showed me! Unfortunately they never consider how they are ******* over the next person to park in the spot after me.

I'd be tempted to ring a mate to help me stand it on its rear hatch - the parking alignment is just asking for it!
(obviously we'd be wearing our undies on the outside while doing this so that passer's by would immediately recognise us as "parking superheroes" rather than arseholes)

So they just re-coated and lined our office's parking lot.

They sent out email, and put up signs, and blocked off areas.

A few cars still parked in the lot that day, one parked there overnight:

picture doesn't do it justice, but if I was facilities, I'd be hella pissed.

I don't understand; don't they know how to google "towing service" and have the car removed?

weird, we got restriped last night too.

I think a little overspray on the tires is sufficient to not incur any legal action yet totally annoy idiots

At posting broken images? Yes, I'd tend to agree.

Interesting. I can Brain's pic on my phone, but not on my desktop. I've tried both Chrome and IE.


That sign is really annoyingly vague. I prefer parking signs which are clear and unambiguous, such as this one:

I've been really having trouble viewing photos you've been posting lately. I mentioned this in the random pictures thread.
