In lieu of bad parking jobs...

and free business cards from vistaprint.com, I decided, enough was enough. Some people purely could give three sh1ts about how they park/drive. Rather than start a blacktop brawl, I thought I'd leave them with a nice little memento strategically placed facing out on their driver's side window trim.

I should do that for my neighbors. The cars look like they were parked by Ray Charles sometimes. I'd rub the cards on a little poison ivy then stick it in their window.

I had a friend once that made a flyer with Mickey Mouse shooting a bird that read "Next time, bring a fu***** can opener a**hole. That way, I can peel your car off of mine."

Man that is funny. I would love to see the reactions of the people who receive those.

Strategic Parking

Over the years because of PT's (parking turds) i've learned the fine art of strategic parking. Always take an end unit (last parking spot on the end) and park as wide and as straight as possible (don't ever do the 45 degree park job it pisses people off and invites keying). Whenever possible take an end unit to the right of everyone (most people are alone in their car so you're on their passenger side) My car is 2.5 years old and completely ding free and my aggravation factor is always zero. This method requires a willingness to walk (i know it's unAmerican) to your final destination from the preferred spot. A little extra effort and some common sense will cure you of PTitis.

Anyone parking in the city.... you're on your own. All bets are off in town.
