Who gives a poo poo, designated parking is just marketing and has nothing to do with safety or making the world better. Some market analyst decided that partitioning off front row parking would earn them a couple extra customers so they put up a sign and collected a performance bonus for it.

Why would you want to park next to someone who has a much higher than normal likelihood of one of the vehicle's occupants smashing their door open into your bodywork?

PCOS Bill posted:So you agree I'm not hurting anyone or in anyone's way. Got it. Neither are people who hog the left lane when no one's behind them (at the moment), run stop signs when there's no one coming the other way, and go the wrong way down one way streets when no one's coming. I agree, but you're also still being a knob. On that note I'm going to stop wasting my time on your idiocy... Here's someone I shared my lane with a few weeks ago, literally. They decided to straddle two lanes at a light and then slowly inch forward until they were in the middle of the intersection as well.

PCOS Bill posted:Who's bringing a car full of kids to the grocery store at 3AM? When working third shift, we would avoid the local grocery story on the first of the month because the checkout line would extend half way through the store with families at midnight. I would wonder why people would bring their kids shopping at that hour, but then I stopped by during the day one time and it was about ten times worse despite having all the checkout lanes open. It's the day Link cards would get refilled.

Its a difference of what, 20, maybe 30 feet? You're probably gonna walk further in the store if you forget something and have to backtrack to get it, so try not being a terrible human being. Why do I get the feeling that you'd happily park in handicap spaces too if you weren't afraid of getting your poo poo towed? I mean afterall, its not like those spots are used either at 3am!

I get that dogpiling PCOS Bill is a thing but this is a particularly grasping at strawsy example. Parking in one of twelve expecting mothers spots at 3 in the morning isn't a big deal no matter how you spin it.

Or am I only a terrible human being if I ignore a sign that was installed at the direction of the store's marketing manager? quote:Why do I get the feeling that you'd happily park in handicap spaces too if you weren't afraid of getting your poo poo towed?

That said I really want to stick a camera at the top of the hill going to the highway from my apartment. In the morning you ride straight out to find the sun directly in your face, and it blows my mind how many people decide "sun, poo poo. Slam on the brakes in a 45 zone where everyone behind me can't see me!" Rather than, you know, throwing on the $10 sunglasses you got at Walmart. There are always chunks of bumper and bits of random cars laying on the road. Fun times!

On my way home from work, cruising the right lane. Some loving wangmaster comes blazing up behind me, tailgates me, passes, all in about 500 feet, then cuts me off and throws out the loving anchor to turn right into a gas station. If I hadn't been capable of threshold braking (no ABS in the truck) I would have rearended them and probably been listed at fault. gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress YOU you abominable douchebag I hope you drown in a toilet

I passed at least a half- mile of cars, maybe further, in a road construction zone by riding the soon to be closed lane which has signs stating 'use both lanes to merge point' and ending in a sign that says 'take turns merge here'. To fully accomplish this I had to get past two vigilantes that were straddling the striped line, and who both flipped birds so hard they were like flocks. They were maybe 300-500 feet apart. You can get far in this world by following directions but you're going to make a few enemies I guess. I've been avoiding this section of the road due to the construction but I left work early and wanted to see what it was like. I think I'll continue to avoid it, since it gets really bad in rush hour, but then another part of me likes the feeling when doing that. The signs say to do so and I really did pass a lot of people. edit: my vehicle has my company logo and name on the side, now that I think about it, even though I'm right I'm still going to avoid the area. No sense getting a call from the main office about it. StormDrain fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Apr 21, 2016 |

I really hate when people are just using the EXIT ONLY lane to skip the lines of traffic in the regular travel lanes and I have to sit there waiting for them to find a spot to merge in when LOOK RIGHT loving THERE IT'S MY EXIT, I COULD JUST GET OFF RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW AND AVOID THIS JAM BUT FOR YOU SITTING AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP TRYING TO MERGE BACK IN.

I once parked in a 'mothers with children' spot at an HEB without seeing the sign and a random woman knocked on my window just after I parked and asked me to move so I did so and I noticed a brotruck with one occupant, a man, had parked there instead about a minute after I moved so I don't really give a gently caress where I park anymore as long as its a valid space.

We don't have expectant mothers parking, rather it's "family with stroller". I'd totally park there all the time if I wasn't a single guy in a miata.

What is it about some people? I visited my parents yesterday. They're a 20 minute highway drive away. It's a pretty good tolled highway (E470 for those familiar with Colorado) with a higher speed limit of 75MPH and people are usually over that anyway. I scoot along in the rightmost lane like I'm supposed to. Fly up on a Texas car going like 60mph, so I flip on my turn signal to go in the left lane and pass them. There's a truck probably 10 car lengths back in the left lane going the same speed as me that immediately starts speeding up as soon as I hit my blinker. I still have plenty of room to merge over so I do, and the guy comes flying up my rear end (while I'm still doing 85 in a 75) and I can see the truck driver flip me off in my rear view mirror. I get back over in the right lane. The truck slows back down, but finally passes me 5 minutes later. What do you have to gain by being a dick like that? He clearly wasn't in a rush, there just must have been something he didn't like about having people indicate intent to merge some distance in front of him?

I approve of this post. There's one area on my semi-regular route that's really bad for this after morning rush-hour (during morning rush-hour, shitwits in the other lanes block those trying to edge into the stopped exit-only lane). If you know you're not going to exit, you deserve a horse-whipping for blocking the exit-only lane.

Protocol7 posted:What is it about some people? If you're in front of him, that means you're winning, so even if he doesn't actually want to go as fast as you, his fragile ego and tiny penis cannot handle the thought of you being in front of him. On another note: what the hell is wrong with people who go 20 km/h in a school zone when there aren't even children around and the school is completely across the street, with a concrete median down the centre? 30 km/h (the limit) is quite slow enough already, we don't need to 33% slower than that!
