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

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.

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.

Good tip

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! 😂

Just scratches to my cart so not worth my time.

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.

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
