Funny Parking Lot Story

About 10 years ago I was in a gas station at Coso Junction, BFE. I was in my 1969 iia and my buddy was in his 1970 Toy Land Cruiser. It was a two island gas station. I was on one island my buddy was on the other. This toothless methhead was parked behind me in his Chevy PU. He finished fueling up and proceeded to try and pack 10 pounds of $hit into a 5 pound bag by squeezing his truck between my rover and the land cruiser. He broke off my buddies mirror and left a pretty good scratch on hi fender. The guy stopped and got out to look at the damage. Me and my buddy are standing there in total disbelief at what we just saw. All he could say was "I've never seen this place so crowded". We looked around the parking lot, we were the only trucks in the station and the lot was empty. He could have backed up and drove around with hundreds of feet to spare but no, he decides to thread the needle. After a few WTF's were exchanged we realized this guy probably lives in one of the trailers near by and barely has a pot to piss in and couldnt pay for the damages anyway. I still laugh when I think of that guy saying with a redneck/Spicoli accent "dude I've never seen it this crowded"

That has happened to me twice. First time it just left a scuff. Second time it left a dent. The first time the guy must have reparked. The second time i saw some black paint on the red nissan to my right. Moral of the story, i guess i suck at pulling out of parking spots because my SG front bumper took out a tail light :smilelol:Yes I am a prick, and Im proud.

While not necessarily a parking lot story - I was 'parked' in stop and go traffic - this sweet young 16 y.o. girl with a drivers license for less than a week tries to merge in in front of me. Pulls right in like she owns the road.... The limb riser tab on the Safari Gard bumper gutted that car like a trout, quite literally from stem to stern...clean as you could with a *very* big can opener. I had to scrub some paint off the tab....
Negative reinforcement is a powerful learning tool.

The other day I was in a parking lot behind a gold toyota corolla, we were both looking for parking. As I followed him down an isle he got half-way past a vehicle that was just beginning to back out of its spot, and he immediately decided he wanted that spot. He hit the brakes, as did I, and without even looking back, put his car in reverse and rammed the ass end of his corolla into my RTE bumper. It wasn't pretty, the entire deck lid was caved in. The guy barely spoke a lick of english, so I just gave him the thumbs up and told him to continue onward.
Back when I had my RRC I was sitting in traffic in a left-turn lane at about 9:00pm. There was a lowered black Acura Integra to the right of me in the lane that goes straight, and apparently he wanted to get in the turn lane that I was in. So he inched the nose of his car out in front of me (like I could see him), and the when the light turned green I ended up running half-way up his fender with my tire. I followed him into a parking lot immediately after it happened and he tried to get on my ass about "watching where i'm going" until his girlfriend convinced him that it was his fault. People are morons.

I usually park miles away in the boxster or the rangie, but if I'm in the disco or 110 I'll squeeze into a motorcycle size spot and just let the sliders do the work.
It's sick, but the seeing someone else's paint on the sliders just cracks me up.

haha....I stuck a nice 2"x2" piece of gold paint from the corolla between my fairlead and my bumper as a keepsake.
I wasn't in my rover.... but it was on the flatbed tow truck I was in... this guy in a little sports car was weaving thru traffic - we saw him in our side view mirrors - as he came around us he tried to go around a pick up truck right in front of us.... the truck had his blinker on and was switching lanes.... the guy in the sports car had to drive into the cement divider on the side of the road... his entire fender, door... trashed... his front tires was completely turned outward.
Jack i also get a sick laugh when i come out to my D90 and see a fresh nick on the slider and notice the nice dings in there door..... I did go ballistic once on a car hit... In La Jolla about 15 years ago i stopped in at the grocery store in my old RRC. While I was in the store my 8 month pregnant wife stayed in the passenger seat and observed a very middle eastern 50ish man slam his Mercedes into her door. She tried to confront him about hitting our door... He basically treated her like the infidel pregnant white woman and to further send her into orbit gestured her to F%^k off.... Revenge time... When I come out and saw her looking at the door screaming at no one.... Well have you ever tried to calm down a severely pissed off 8 month pregnant woman... Easier to calm a rabid pit bull... Not happening.... Well to appease the raging hormones and I had to extract the pound of flesh... Picture me doing the Walking Tall thing on a Mercedes Benz... Oh i had fun.... After breaking off his mirrors bashing his door in and busting out his window i had to rub my 285 BFG along his entire left side... She still laughs about that... She would have just be happy with a return door ding...

That is like after running through someones front yard and destroying their fence, you telling them that if that fence wasn't there, your car wouldn't have gotten scratched up? People suck.[/QUOTE]
Or breaking into someones house get shot and killed then sue the family for wrongful death.

Dee... Why hadn't you told this story earlier? Awesome...
The very last time I've been to Jiffy Lube (about 5 years ago), the dude backed my Disco straight into an Accord behind. Crumpled hood, broken grille, busted headlight.... Could have possibly damaged my hitch receiver, if not for a 3/4" shackle dangling from it.
