Hahahahaha!

-the person that parks the cart next to their vehicle instead of putting it where it goes.
-People that cannot park in the middle of the parking spot, and you cannot open your door
-People that load their groceries, get to the last bag, see the cart is rolling away, and watch it as it rolls across the lot into a car. Then get in their car and leave.
-And pretty much what everyone else said.


- OH OH ....and people that bring their kids to the store in just a diaper....or no shirt and shoes......then let them walk all over the nasty floors...........I mean, how hardis it to throw clothes on your kid before leaving........

so i go to walmart today and as i park and get out of my car, there is some guy who is working on his car in the parking lot. so as i start to walk towards the store, i turn around and notice he throws an empty plastic coolant jug on the ground (could of thrown it in an empty cart that was only 20 feet away) and then speeds off... why are some people such a$$HOLES these days?

What's worse than that is the fact that all that new coolant will probably leak out onto the road (and then into the nearest water body) over the course of the week, and next weekend he'll be pouring another jug in.

My worst pet peeve right now is people who open their doors into yours in parking lots. Now, anytime I have a choice, I park as FAR away from anyone as is humanly possible, but parking spots at my school are assigned and during these first 3 days of school I've gotten 5, that's right 5 door dings. Albeit they're unnoticeable at most angles, but I know they're there...and that's enough for me.

I don't know if this is done in other cities but here they used to have some locks on the carts. You had to put a quarter in to get a cart out and you had to return it to the corral if you wanted your quater. I don't know why they stopped doing this

Surprisingly, people actually "break into" those locks for the "money." It really says something about the mental giants around here when they can't even figure out that the carts don't keep the money.

well...i realized today that i am just cursed in general with parking...and it's not caused solely when i drive my "nice" car. with my new "beater" (92 accord) i proudly park anywhere and everywhere, rather than in the back lots on the ends, etc. i parked in a normal spot this morning...all alone...and when i came out there was an SUV that i thought was ON my rear bumper. i got up closer and it was no more than an inch away. since it was my beater i didn't CARE...but i was still ANNOYED. i couldn't find a logical reason for:

1. why they parked by me when there were many open, much closer spots
2. why they have to get that close (they parked at least 2 feet over the yellow line of their stall to get that close to me)

it was so close it is doubtful that they didn't bump into me and then back away. i thought about backing up slowly into them before leaving (again...winter beater so i don't care)...especially since it's a 5spd and there was a slight incline...but i didn't since then i wouldn't be any better than them.

That same thing happened to me just the other day. The space between my compact car and the Suburban parked in front of me was less than 1 inch. I looked for bump damage or a license plate dent, but didn't detect anything. I don't doubt either that they bumped me and then reversed. They too were across the yellow line. Some people just don't give a **** and pull forward until they either hit something or can't see any daylight at all in between the cars.

it's like when you park far away, your car has a sign that reads, "come park close to me"...

p.s. why do people feel the need to cut in front and pass you while driving, only to drive slowly in front of you...
