"Rethuglican Parking Values" (a window into their shrivelled souls)

[not fooled]

Friday follies:

This morning, I was trying to park in a shopping center lot, where only 2 spaces were left; these were adjacent. The car ahead of me, a Jag bearing a bumper sticker reading "Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Democratic" pulled into the CENTER of the 2 spaces = NO ONE ELSE CAN PARK!!! but their car is "protected" (translation: Only me and my car count; everyone else is screwed")

As the driver gets out, I'm sitting in stunned silience witnessing all this. But, I recovered in time to roll down my window and say "So, is that an example of Republican parking values"? The woman looked stunned, then laughed embarassedly and said "I'll move it" which she did so that the other space was useable.

I bit my tongue to keep from saying anything else, such as "That's the first time I've ever seen a Republican remedy their mistake" or similar.

Doesn't this little episode just epitomize their selfishness and greed???

1. Good for you and I'm

stunned that she didn't flip you the bird. People who take up two spaces usually don't give a rat's ass what anybody thinks.

2. I had the same thing happen to me on Wenesday!

A woman in a Mercedes SUV (with a private prep school bumper sticker) wheeled into two spaces at an angle so that no one else could park there. Of course these were two spaces right up next to the stores. I, in my little car, tried to pull in but couldn't. She saw me but did not care. My dad had Porsches. We'd park in two spaces on the far outskirts of a parking lot where there were no other cars and no one was offended by this. I also hate the college kids with huge trucks and SUVs who park in the "small car" spaces. Arghh! One can not open one's doors when hemmed in by a huge vehicle in a small space.

edit: I couldn't say anything to the woman because the prep school is a very big client.

3. LOL.

I am currently wearing my tee shirt that says Friends don't let friends vote Republican...and in a red state.

4. Great comment! You really laid it out without saying anything rude

Just a simple question. At least she had the dignity to be shamed.

5. I just stuff my 10 year old car in right next to jerks like that

and i don't worry if my door makes hard contact with their car as i get out.

6. I still celebrate the day I saw a hummer parked in 2 spaces

and I parked in the remainder of the driver's side space about 2 inches from the hummer's door. That felt really good. The lot wasn't even close to full. :)

10. I do that ALL the time

7. A fiend of mine went to a restaraunt

With his wheelchair bound wife and some moron had taken the handicapped space. He parked right behind the car and stayed gone for almost 2 hours.

When he finally returned the people were out there fuming. He's a good sized guy, and just kept talking about inconsiderate assholes who park in handicapped spaces. They didn't say a word.

11. Instant Karma baby!

17. That is awesome! They deserved it!!

Your friend fixed their little red wagon...I'll bet that they don't park in the handicapped spot again.

8. JUST REMEMBER KATHY BATES IN

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WHEN THE TWO GIRLS PULLED IN AHEAD OF HER TO PARK....SHE FIXED THOSE BIMBOS...


TOWANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM OLDER AND HAVE MORE INSURANCE.... AND SHE PILED INTO THEIR VW!!!! BEST SCENE EVER

[no name no slogan]

9. Your a better person than I

I would have probably written her a note about her selfishness-- on the hood of her car with my key.

Nice move!

12. I think keying the car is an appropriate response.

13. "Doesn't this little episode just epitomize their selfishness and greed?"

No. To me, it illustrates an individual's either thoughtlessness or failure to pay attention.

14. Hmmmmm....

Performance art?

:think: :)

16. Repukes steal everything

even bumpersticker sayings...the Democrats were the ones who originated the "Friends don't let" one. x(

Good for you, you said just the right thing! :thumbsup:
