“ FUHGETABOUTIT” you ought to be ashamed of yourself for blocking 2 of us by parking behind our carts at Publix on Southerntrace shopping center. What an idiot! So wish I knew how to post the 2 pictures I took of your cart!!!

I feel your pain, Kaydee - I didn't realize parking one's golf cart behind another was even "a thing" until someone did it to me on one of the squares last year - it was not even a busy time of day and there were plenty of empty spaces, so I had to assume the person who blocked me from behind merely enjoyed saving a few steps although it caused me to spend about 10 minutes going backwards and forwards in an attempt to exit the spot without hitting either the carts to either side of me or the cart of the extremely inconsiderate person who'd penned me in from behind.

I had to keep my old NYC personality in check on this sweltering-hot afternoon to avoid storming into the nearby establishments to make a loud inquiry for ["license plate# here"] and insist that they move. I was especially livid because, along my non-car-owner upbringing comes (in my case) a great talent for yelling "Taxi!" but zero talent in negotiating tight parking spaces. Conversely, your clueless "FUHGETABOUTIT" (who by his plate is obviously a former NY'er) may have learned to park on a dime- maybe from Brooklyn or a former Valet LOL. Fortunately for me and those around me, I had 4 grandkids with me whose presence forced me to feign composure as I embarrassingly moved my cart backwards and forwards numerous times (periodically exiting the cart for a close visual check as to whether I had room to maneuver) as they impatiently observed and repeatedly asked me what was wrong.

Lesson learned - tho the parking space may be long enough for an SUV, do not pull your golf cart up to the front if you want to be assured an easy exit.

The NY attitude is recognized across the country, I'am from Chicago doing that there you could well find your tires and seats slashed. I certainly don't condone or advocate anything like that but at the same time I would have little sympathy for the driver of said Veh

pretty easy to take the brake off, put cart in 'neutral' and push it out of the way. Maybe even push it into the middle of the lane and leave it there.

Don't drive a car, dont know how to post pictures, NYC not Brooklyn. 😂

[J1ceasar]

We will have a rough life

[J1ceasar]

And maybe you could announce in the Publix that their car was going to be towed immediately that will get action

That is my suggestion (minus leaving the cart in the middle of the lane). These carts are so very easy to move by one person.

[Bass56]

Move it far from where it is parked, let them think it was stolen. And leave a note stating, don't block other carts, hope this taught you a lesson.

[patfla06]

I have had a few considerate Villagers park their golf cart right
next to my driver’s door so I couldn’t get into my car.
I release their brake and move their cart.
You have to wonder if they think of anyone but themselves.

Exactly, that’s what I was thinking. Push the cart out if the way, maybe leave a sign, “You blocked me.” I usually assume the person is just ignorant, not malicious.

[Calisport]

I was in my golf cart in a space and an elderly lady parked in the handicapped space next to me in her regular car except that she drove halfway into my space and rammed my cart. She brushed it off and huffed out loud and walked right into the market without seeing how I was. So there also some that shouldn’t be driving any vehicle. Just scratches to my cart so not worth my time.

[EdFNJ]

Someone did that to my wife & I about a month after we moved in here over 3 years ago on one of those 90+ degree days. We came out of Walmart on 466 with among other stuff ice cream. Our cart is air-conditioned but I didn't plan on waiting out their shopping trip and also running down my battery. We went into Walmart and asked them to please page the person who ... blah blah and Walmart said they didn't do that. Finally we just released their parking brake and rolled their cart back onto the other side of the lane against the cart corral and drove off. Wish we could have hung around to see their reaction.

Excuse me?
That’s correct, I don’t happen to know how to upload photos to this site!
I don’t understand your comments

[Alicat5977]

Did you know that most golf cart keys will any golf cart. Just put your key in their cart and move it out of your way. When they have to look for their cart, maybe they’ll get the hint not to block people’s carts.

Funny thing about the Chicago way of doing things. Discourtesy behind the wheel seems to get weeded out real fast.

Sorry about the inconsiderate jerk, but you know if you release the brake pedal a 10 year old can push a golf cart. I would have simply pushed it into the road and left it there. Then drove away with my wife telling me how wrong that was but with a big smile on my face.

I see a cart with that plate in Sunset Pointe. I like knowing so I can steer clear. Should be a rule! 😂

Personally, I would have called the police. What if next time she hits a child or anyone for that matter? She may not realize how bad her depth perception has deteriorated and confronting her may not do any good. The police can at least issue a warning.

That’s what I would have done.

[kendi]

Sad that so many first: assume the driver had malicious intent and second: turn to revenge. How is this any better than what you are assuming of that driver? It’s worse actually.

Just for kicks and giggles, what would you have done to get out of that parking space???

If it happens again, just put the offending cart in neutral and push it out of the way. Leave it in the street or in the aisle of the parking lot and go on your merry way. If they come out and see their cart in that position, maybe they will think twice about doing it again, or maybe someone will call a tow truck to remove it. Mean yeah, but that’s who I am. LOL

[Spalumbos62]

Push it out of your way


I agree, but can't you get in trouble for touching their cart??

[golfing eagles]

Any lawyers or LEOs out there want to field this one?????

[butlerism]

By the plate.... they are from Brooklyn NY

Grab several people to watch. Witness. they say no, I saw nothing.
Lift the seat. flip the run switch to off. You can now roll the cart freely.

Entitled idiots think they can get away with BS.

Better yet ..... roll the golf cart into the middle of the nearest intersection.

Now they have a Police issue and and will most likely get a service call for $125 to flip the switch.

Or simply call 911. The police can run the Carts Vehicle ID number. Typically under the Dash on the passenger side. Get their address.

Po Po will send them a ticket for illegal parking.

Tow it and you can laugh.

Get back on your horse and start fighting back.

i once saw a blocked in car go into reverse and push the offending vehicle into the street

[Joe C.]

As soon as you start moving the offending golf cart, you legally are in possession of it and can be prosecuted for vehicular theft. Never move another person's cart. A better idea, even though still illegal, is taking out your trusty pocketknife and poking their sidewall.

[arickis]

Very easy to put a cart in neutral and push it out of the way, if you have been blocked in.

Vandalism is a better idea than the technical theft of moving a golf cart???? Hmmmm.......

[DaleDivine]

Yep. Turn the cart sideways in the parking space.
:ohdear::ohdear::popcorn:

So many have suggested I push the cart out into the aisle …back out & go on my merry way. I would never done that as I would have been putting others in harms way.

Exactly what I did at Colony Publix one day. Hope "Sam's" cart was till in the aisle when he came out.

Oh yes, it's much much better to cause damage to someone else's property, when that property is in your way and blocking you from being able to leave the scene. That way, when the shopper finally comes out of the store and sees that he has a flat tire and you're sitting there smugly and fully immersed in your righteous indignation, he'll know you were the one who punctured his tire.

Where, if you had simply leaned down to press the gas pedal and release the brake, and stood to the side of the cart, reached behind the seat and at the windshield, and rolled it out of the way, you would've been gone within seconds, with no one and nothing harmed, and the insensitive shopper knowing that whoever he blocked in, moved his vehicle and maybe he shouldn't do that again.

[Jerseygirl08]

I think that's what I would have done; take the brake off and push the FUHGETABOUTIT cart out of the way. It's just so disrespectful. After I posted a few days ago, I was second guessing myself . . . feeling like I didn't know the full story. Maybe the three cart owners were all friends and would leave at the same time, for example.

[D.Bolen]
