A year or so ago, someone parked in a handicapped space at my complex (the complex only designates HC spaces if a tenant actually needs one, so there was actually a handicapped person who used this space). The guy who had the space duct-taped a sign saying something along the lines of "Someone needed to park here and can't because you're too blind to read", along with a letter to the management (I guess this wasn't the first offense). I posted pictures here on one of the previous boards, and they're still on my Myspace blog (same username as I use here).Random Doctor Who quote:

I was sorely tempted to make up some "pavement, not parking" stickers a while ago.
I used to walk the last part of my trip to work, and there was a busy road with quite narrow pavements with a HUGE prickly holly bush growing out into it.
Every day, without fail, someone would park on the pavement right next to it so that pedestrians had to either walk in the road or get shredded by the bush.
There was no reason they couldnt park a few metres on in either direction, but that must have been *their spot*."don't go to the neighbors,that's just what the fire expects you to do"-phillippbo

At our office complex there is a row of spaces which gets covered by snow after the plows clear the lot. It shouldn't be a problem since there is plenty of parking elsewhere.
But every year people just park in that row as if the snowbank is the new margin of the parking lot. This creates several problems.
They are now actually parked in the aisle behind the parking space, not the parking space. So they end up blocking the aisle and/or making it impossible for people to park in the next REAL row.
The second problem is that people who park in the real row have had their cars hit by these morons because the morons don't have enough room to back out of the parking "space" which exists only in their minds. And, of course, morons don't feel any need to leave contact information on cars they back into.
The biggest offenders work for the dentist next door who happens to be MY dentist so I don't want to leave fake tickets with people who have drills near my teeth, but DAMN it's annoying.
Next winter I think I'll make a few anonymous calls to the police because the narrowed aisle could block emergency vehicles.The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.
The stupid is strong with this one.

I had an easy way to deal with these types of idiots.
Take a sheet of mailing labels and feed them into your printer.
Program each label to read whatever you want.
Print labels and carry them with you.
Stick on windshield where appropriate.
Problem solved.The customer is always right until I decide he isn't.

I'm deathly afraid of confrontation (or the risk of confrontation), and I don't normally do stuff like this, but every so often, I get in one of these moods, and then all bets are off. Here are two such stories:
1. I had driven to the mall, and was looking for a parking space. I was having trouble finding one, and then I saw this one car that was parked across two spaces. After I finally found a spot, I left a note on his car that said something like, "Nice going, asshole! Next time, why don't you see if you can take up THREE spaces?"
2. This one is from back when I was still in my old apartment in the city. Parking was along the street, and if you came back late at night, it wasn't easy finding a spot. I remember some nights where I'd circle around the block several times looking for a spot.
I was out one night -- don't remember doing what -- but I had to stop in at the apartment for something, and then I was heading somewhere else. It wasn't real late, and I found a spot close by. There was a fire hydrant on that side, but it was about a car length away from me, so I was fine.
When I came back out, I saw someone had decided to park there, and just so he wouldn't be in front of the hydrant and possibly get a ticket, had parked right up against my bumper. I was PISSED! I still don't know what possessed me to do this, but I put mine in reverse and started pushing his car backwards with my own. Either he didn't have the brakes on, or his brakes were really crappy, because I had a POS '85 Ford Escort at the time, which had practically no power to it. Once I had him right next to the hydrant, I took off.
I circled around the block so I could admire my handiwork, but sadly, he had already taken off. And I was hoping that a cop would see him parked next to a hydrant and ticket him. Oh well...Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.

When I first moved into my apartment, there was a guy with an expensive-looking sports car that would always park right where the road through the complex turns, making it difficult for cars to get around the corner, and causing backups whenever more than two people needed to get through. Heaven knows how the garbage truck managed to get past. I kept hoping that one day the truck driver would not quite have the hang of driving the truck and ding the jerk's car on his way through, but I never saw it happen.Random Doctor Who quote:
