since starting at my new job in town.....

They are:

Stupid
Lazy
Impatient
Rat fucks

To be specific, I park at a multilevel car park, I see many empty spaces about 10-20 meters from the stairway yet people drive around in circles trying to find that elusive spot close to the stairway because they are too stupid and too lazy to walk a little.

And those impatient rat bitches tooting their horn at me whilst I am reverse parking (happened twice now) and then trying to go around me dangerously whilst I am reversing into the parking space (like what happened this morning) all because they cannot wait a few seconds, mind you I did indicate and they had plenty of warning.

Society has become pathetic, very pathetic.
What went wrong and how?

End of rant.

    never understood the need for people to drive around looking for the perfect parking spot. especially gets me going when they do it at christmas time looking for a spot 10 feet from the door to go walk 10 miles through the mall.

    but i will say people backing into parking spots kind of annoys me. it does tend to take too long and hold up traffic. i wouldn't beep but i'd be annoyed - sorry.

    depends on the person. i can back in pretty quick, but if in a jammed lot or somebody is right behind me, i just pull in to avoid clogging shit up.

    do you ever get the feeling, that somebody, thoughts arrive is going to post a herald link about some crazy guy in a parking garage going nuts?

    Agreed 100% about parking. Especially at giant malls. These people spend 5,10,15 minutes looking for a close space to the mall so they dont have to walk. Well ive got news for you moron, guess what your doing the entire time at the mall? WALKING!

    Idiots.....

    I want one of those for PJ20.

    FYI, I always back in to parking spaces, one shot, takes seconds.

    I drive better in reverse.

    I didn't know Republicans and Democrats all parked along party lines... :lol:

    What I hate is when people will see someone putting groceries away and its a closer spot, so they'll sit there waiting for the people to pack their car, move the cart back and leave and they are too close to the middle for people to get around. I'm not waiting 3-4 minutes for you to get a spot 10 feet closer... its so insane. :roll:

    Or people who leave their carts next to where they park when the cart returns are like 5-10 feet away... how lazy can you be?!?

    I believe that his usage of this term is excellent!!

    There's really nothing that irritates me more than when people follow you when you leave a store so they can get your parking spot. When that happens I take as long as possible getting out of the spot just to piss them off :twisted:

    I walk thru the parking lot and purposefully in the WRONG aisle...so when someone is following me, I cut between the cars to the other aisle and to my car which is parked far away from the front door. Really funny to watch people get all pissed off.
