wow. you wait just to punish them for wanting your spot? what kind of douchebag self-gratifyingly petty society are you a part of?

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I love a good thread backfire.

 

[M3wThr33]

I love weaving in-between cars and faking people out by pretending a different car is mine. I figure it might get me shot one day, but the slowpoke fucks following me slow down the parking lot and backup people trying to leave.

 

[Grifter]

This never really bothered me.

You know what did bother me?

Video store return vultures. You remember, the time before Netflix or Digital Distribution. People who would practically take your video returns out of your hands to see if one of them was the title they were waiting for.

Blockbuster tried to solve this with slot returns, but then people would just crowd around and clog the counter when the clerks would empty the bin.

I'll toast the death of the video store tonight.

I've never, ever experienced this. Even in all the mom-and-pop stores I've been to.

On topic: OP needs to examine your spitefully passive-aggressive attitude. Jerk.

 

[Pochacco]

What's wrong with some of you?

I actually feel pretty good when someone follows me and I'm able to give them my spot. If they start creeping up on me, I'll just turn around, point to my car, and smile. When I get in my car, I'll start it up fast, put it in 1st, and give them my spot... then I'll pull over where there's no traffic and plug in my iPod, etc.

If you're bugged by parking lot stalkers, you're a bit anti-social and irrational. If you purposely take more time to get out of the fucking spot, you're immature and have too much time on your hands.

Seriously.

 

[samus4ever]

What is maddening about this? They need a spot. You're about to not need your spot anymore.

I actually kind of feel a little bad when I have to walk back to my car to get something and someone follows me all the way to the spot only to be disappointed.

I park in the back of parking lots though.

At my school I would always do this. Go back to my car to get a book and someone would be waiting. The disappointment on their face when I walk back was hilarious.

 

[Lionheart1827]

When I was still in college this happened all the time around 11AM. So annoying.

Anti-social? Hardly. I'm quite extroverted. Irrational? Quite so.

sheeeiiit if I wasn't trying to get with a gal I was taking off from college so fast it was hard for them to keep up with me..

 

[1stStrike]

Luckily, I don't have that problem around here..the only thing I've ever encountered is people waiting for me to leave a parking spot at the grocery store or something. It's not really a big deal. I've never lived in a place where there was a shortage of parking though.

 

[Karakand]

I would never think of denying any of these things. :lol

 

[pizzaguysrevenge]

I'd just block you in and give you all day to play with your iPod. : )

 

[lexdysia]

Well, at least I'm not so antisocial that I can't spark a good discussion.

 

[Mikazuki]

I work in an area with a hhhhuuuugggeee parking lot that always has a space. I choose to park in the back since I actually enjoy walking and to protect my car. I get stalked sometimes multiple times a day. Most of the people doing at it aren't even elderly.

I love getting followed only for them to give up and speed off. It's one thing to see someone in a parking garage and follow them rather than go through the hassle of driving to the next floor which may be full. This is a huge parking lot which always has space in the last 30% and they'd prefer to waste their time and gas out of laziness.

 

[giga]

OP = asshole. Parking is hard to find--don't be a dick.

 

[AtomskEater]

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to be offered a ride to one's car?

 

[speedpop]

I always point out to people where I have parked if the parking lot is packed to the hilt and I am ready to leave. The parking space is there for a reason, if it's empty then it may as well be used within a reasonably quick frame of time rather than have someone guzzling fuel driving laps trying to find a space.

 

[so_awes]

I live in a big city where the drivers are arseholes and parking spaces are hot commodities.

I hate it when I'm walking to my car and a driver stalks me, hoping to get my space. Oftentimes, to combat the anger I sit in my car and take my sweet time plugging in my ipod cassette adapter. Waiting for the A/C to come on.

And they are still waiting!

Anybody else hate this?

hahahaha me too!

one thing i like to do when i have my buddy with me is "Alpha Formation", we split off in opposite directions. :lol

OP = asshole. Parking is hard to find--don't be a dick.

stop being lazy, learn to walk!

 

[hc2]

I hate having to ride the bus or train, reading the newspaper, and then you have get off and walk a block to work. On my way, I look over a see the exhaust streaming out of tailpipes while the drivers wait for a parking space. Man, I really wish I had driven my car.

 

[AtomskEater]

That really is only applicable when there is space is the back of the lot, which isn't always the case.

[VeritasVierge]

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to be offered a ride to one's car?

No. Maybe I'm paranoid but every time a stranger offered me a ride to what I perceive as a short distance, I sometimes tend to think it could be an attempted kidnapping. I've had times when I'd be a few houses from my place in the rain and the most random people (usually men) stopping on the street to offer me a ride. It does creep me out.

 

[Rentahamster]

When leaving, I try to exit my parking stall as fast as possible. especially if there's someone wanting to take my spot. I would want that if I was in their position.

Wasting my own time to punish someone for an action that is completely normal doesn't make sense unless the so called parking lot stalker is being a real dick about wanting my space.

Nothing wrong with that, turn on the music.

So what is the accident fatality rate per 100,000 commuting drivers versus 100,000 mass transit passengers?

 

[Evander]

I don't usually mind it unless they're blocking traffic.

Yeah, lord knows I've done it myself a time or two.

As long as the person wasn't basically trying to run me over during the entire walk to my car, and isn't sitting so close that they get in my way of pulling out, then I don't mind.

But if they are guilty of those things, ESPECIALLY sitting too close to my car, then fuck 'em. I am not going to be personally inconvenienced because you are an asshole.

 

[Evander]

If you REALLY care to know, I probably have that data on my hard drive somewhere.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

I usually cut through parking spots but its not because I want to piss people off.

 

[Amon37]

What I hate are these people who block the lane because the have to spend 10 minutes to back-in to the parking spot.

Just pull in and get on with it.

 

[lexdysia]

Agreed.

Seriously.

On an old Penny Arcade podcast, Mike spent a bit of time arguing how he hatees folks who back in to parking spaces because they "think they're better than him", and while it sounds absurd, I tend to agree.

Asshole.

 

[Papi]

When I'm walking back to my car and I see someone looking for a carpark, I usually shout out to them to let them know where I parked my car.
OP is a twat.

 

[AVclub]

My good friend (who is male) and I walked to my car, which was parallel parked in a large parking area. A car followed us. When we entered the vehicle and didn't immediately pull out, the car which followed us pulled up to the passenger size of my vehicle. Its driver motioned to roll down the window, so I did.

"Are you going out?" He asked.
"No. We're just friends." Was my reply.

The driver looked confused, then drove off.

:lol

[satori]

Hell, when I was at university people would sometimes forgo the whole parking lot stalking and just give you a ride to your car.

I have done this sooooo many times. It came to the point where people were waving their hands to flag me down to take them to their car. Met a few girlfriends that way as well. Fun times

 

[Monroeski]

I hate when people sit there and wait for me when there are perfectly good spots only 6 or 7 spaces down. I definitely take my sweet ass time in those situations.

If parking is scarce, though, I try to move fairly quickly.

 

[Dark Octave]

I never stalk. Haven't been that desperate. I just drive around until I see either an empty spot, or two white reverse lights, ready to pull out of a spot.

 

[JzeroT1437]

I'm a big fan of throwing my shit in the car, buckling my safety belt, then driving away.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I usually have stuff to do.

 

[Evander]

Maybe I'm just weird, but I usually have stuff to do.

Often, I hook up my Zune to my aux jack, or put on mysunglasses, or other menial things while I'm already on the road.

When some one has been pissing me off by nudging my leg with their bumper the entire time I've been walking to me car, I'll do these things before pulling out.

 

[lexdysia]

I only hook up my iPod before driving for safety reasons.

Like, to encourage the idiots to drive safely by not blocking the friggin' lane.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

When the lot is packed, what else are you supposed to do? Circle around the lot even though you know they're all taken? I'm the exact opposite, I hate people who take their time on PURPOSE because they feel like their being rushed. Do what you got to do in the car but you don't have to be vindictive about it.

I just want to park and do what I have to do.

Ditto.

The OP is a prick.

 

[cynlix]

I usually just go in my car and get out of my spot quickly just to be courteous.

On the other hand....Whenever my friend notices he's being "stalked" for his parking, he starts to sprint full speed away from the car. Its hillarious :lol :lol :lol

 

[Undeux]

Eh, it's so common that I'm completely used to it. I just hate it when people stand in parking spots to reserve them for their friends.

Now that's dumb.

 

[Amon37]

WTFisthishit!!

I would sit at the parking space so they friend couldn't park there. You can't reserve parking spots.

 

[lexdysia]

What a douche move!

 

[dabig2]

I always feel bad if I just arrived somewhere and havn't gotten out of my car yet, and someone pulls up 10 feet behind expecting me to leave and drive away. Then I just open the door and get out and give them this "sorry" look. Poor guys.

 

[NomarTyme]

Eh, it's so common that I'm completely used to it. I just hate it when people stand in parking spots to reserve them for their friends.

I seen this shit happen, but rarely for me.

 

[CoryCubed]

I asshole it about half the time.

At my university or downtown, since parking is such a pain, that I will hurry out and go if someones waiting.

Now if I'm at the home depot or somewhere, and there's plenty of other spots and they don't have a handicap sticker or appear old, then I will walk past my car and around the parking lot and then go to my car when that person has parked/stalking someone else.
