Fuck Parking

Zarcath · 08-28-2007, 05:50 PM

Road rage? more like parking rage. Post up your parking stories here.

Quote:

Today I went to pick up some food I called in. The parking complex has a flat-rate fee for lunch time ($3). I get there and the gate is up, so I just drive right on in.

On my way out (no more then 5 minutes later), I give her the $3 for the flat-rate and she goes "where's your ticket?". I'm like, what fucking ticket?

She points to a sign, a fucking 7 1/2x11 that's taped to the side of the booth that rambles on about some shit about monthly parking fees and to take a ticket. It seems they did away with the flat-rate fee because of some problems and in an unrelated note, the gates weren't allowing their monthly members through so they just left the gate open.

I'm thinking to myself, who the fuck is going to stop on a ramp and read this shit? the gate is up and their past policy was flat-fee. She keeps insisting I pay $24 for the lost ticket fee and i'm like, bitch, no. So she starts threatening me saying the police are right around the corner and says "you people" need to read the signs. At this point like 10 cars are backed up behind me and she relents and takes my $3 and waves me through.

Fucking cutthroat pirates.

I have never experienced a parking problem.

Once all the bike parking slots were taking and I had to lock my bike up in a different area =(

Grave · 08-28-2007, 06:53 PM

The other day I was riding around on my horse, and I thought to myself, "I'll make a stop here at the Auction House." So I pull in, going to park you know, and my horse just DISAPPEARS. Literally, right out from under me. No explanation, no goodbyes, no whinnying, nothing.

It was like that shit from The Neverending Story, although much more abrupt.

Are you fucking illiterate or something Zarcath?

This is something like the third story in the last week where you're pissed off at someone for making you pay for parking because you didn't read a sign. No one has any sympathy for you. Read the sign next time and stop using this as a Myspace.

Kilivek2.0 · 08-28-2007, 07:34 PM

YEAH STOP POSTING SHIT YOU EMO FAG

The guy should stick with the bus I think...But then he would probably get a fine for not buying a ticket when he was only going to ride the bus from one stop the the next immediate stop, but the man is out to get him to pay a full fair for such a short trip!

RiskyChris · 08-28-2007, 09:00 PM

I agree with Aegdaien I think you need to learn some fiscal responsibility and stop mooching gas off your girlfriend or something.

Kuriin · 08-28-2007, 09:13 PM

No one has any sympathy for you because you're a complete idiot. Way to make yourself look like an ass.

Zeste · 08-28-2007, 10:20 PM

Well you know what they say about chinese driving skills! Or should I say SKIRRS!

I have no problem finding jobs, but I have 76 phds.

joz123 · 08-29-2007, 12:04 AM

One time i rode my bike down to the mall. All 1 of the bike racks were taken up and the mall is about a mile long. I park it to a huge lamppost thinking its ok since theres no bike rack with miles. I come back after im done and find the bike is gone. I go to the mall police station and lo and behold my bike is there, minus my lock, fucking retards.

I tell them there wasnt any bike racks anywhere to park it, they tell me "ya we need more then 1" they ddint reimburse me for the lock or anything, fucking douche nozels.

Zarcath · 08-29-2007, 02:24 AM

lol all you want, but don't try to sit there and tell me you haven't have some shitty parking experiences in your time, or maybe you don't go out? This thread is supposed to be about your experiences but you'd rather be a dick.

third story? more like second. This is completely unrelated to my other thread, where I was seeking e-lawyering. This one is to talk about shitty parking situations. I guarantee anyone who attended college has something to share about their campus parking. Again, you probably wouldn't know anything about the college experience let alone going outside.

It might be possible that parking in Hawaii is a nightmare.

Where I live, there are times and places that parking is a nightmare, (Downtown during any event or Clayton during any given second of any given year). But most of the time, even with big events, parking hell can be averted by public transit. Busses are a clusterfuck and taxis can be expensive, but the metro is a fucking godsend. ALL HAIL THE METRO!

Again, perhaps Hawaii doesn't have one or doesn't have one on whatever island you live on. In which case I'd suggest you just quit breaking traffic laws. (crazy, I know)

And to just put my foot in my mouth, when am I going to see an end to the "Asians suck at driving" stereotype?

If I see someone driving retarded fast, it is almost always a teenager. If I see someone driving erratically it is almost always a 20-40 year old person (usually male) on a Friday or Saturday night. If I see someone driving excessively slowly or just driving downright retarded as if they didn't even know what the fuck a car was, it is one of three things: A person on a cell phone, a person with white hair, or a person with slanted eyes.

Why?

Well the cell phone thing is easy. People drive like shit with them. I know I know, you think you don't but trust me, you do.

Also, old people drive shitty for two reasons. The primary reason I believe is that the gray haired people we see now-a-days grew up in an age in which the speed limit was maxed at 45, the radio was a groundbreaking technology, and the internet is a complete mystery. In other words, most of these people aren't up with the times. The speed limit is 60? They see that sign and interpret it as 50. We see it and interpret it as 70. Plus, the lack of motor skills for that generation is just a given. You're old, it took you 5 minutes to walk to your car, you can't even get to level 5 on Tetris, and you think it is cold when the temp is 90+.

So that covers cells and FOPs.

So please, God almighty, explain to me why I see so many horrible drivers, I pull up next to them, look in the window, and see an asian? Why? WHY? I'm really not racist, really. I would like to think I'm overlooking something. But God Lord Baby Jesus in Heaven, someone explain this shit to me.
