Default Bad parking - no rude parking

Today at Lowes at 3:00 pm a lady in a white full size SUV is parked across a dozen golf cart parking spaces. She was loading the car with a plant from the garden center. Now she closes rear door and she scans the parking lot to see if anyone is looking. Decides no one is and is going back in the store. I point out to her she is in the golf cart parking spaces. She says is it any concern of yours ? I say yes - you have taken 12 golf cart spaces with one car. She says where does it say golf carts only. I point to about 6 signs posted right there. She calls me an a**hole. We both look up to see a Sherriff watching us. She moved the car in a hurry. Oh sweet justice.

What's your best parking story ?

White, full size SUV? Bad parking? Probably one of the self-appointed privileged entitled. Props to you for calling her out.

How many times in your life have you ever said "Where's a cop when you need one"? Me = at least 100.
In this case = SWEET JUSTICE and great timing.

My husband backed up a polite distance so the driver would have plenty of room exiting the parking spot we waited for. Well, a lady just promptly eased in in front of my husband so she could grab the parking space. I was livid but my husband tore out of there, up and around and drove into an empty space that had just opened up that was nose to nose of the place we original wanted. It gets better. Instead of settling for that parking space, by the time he pulled into it the first driver had just barely gotten out and my hero pulled right on into it, leaving the woman who crowded in line with a dropped jaw and a "what just happened?" expression and no place to park. How I love to reminisce on that one and how I loved the one shared to day where the cop showed up at the perfect moment. LOL

This is not really bad parking, but on Saturday, we were at Lowe's and someone had left the sweetest little dog on a golf cart alone. We waited at least ten minutes or so, but owner never appeared. I hope the dog was still there when he came out. I could never leave my dog like this. Here is a pic.The Villages Florida

Not a bad parking story ~ but it is car karma.

Years ago, when I lived in Minnesota, we had quite a snowfall, and roads hadn't yet been cleared. I was going to work at an appropriate speed for conditions. A lady in a white SUV (Hmmm!?) blasted past me, blaring her horn. Moments later, I turned onto the freeway ramp, and watched her zip into the ditch in a cloud of snow.

I'd love to see that again.

Surely, surely, surely, I cannot be the only one of us around here who sometimes thinks about Kathy Bates in the parking lot scene in Fried Green Tomatoes. (1991)

You are invited to turn on your sound and take a couple of minutes to live vicariously with Kathy in this scene.......
