That guy (who probably had to be at the gym in 15 minutes, amiright?) should have just fed the stupid meter. The cop "yelled" at him, but he didn't get a ticket. He sounds like a jerk.

ZAZ: Get over it. The parking spot is theirs until they leave.

Wait until we finish the transition to market-rate pay-by-the-second parking. Then you'll be billed a ten cents a minute for your parked call.

Which won't fly out in the sticks (and for the moment, the suburbs). The cost of land is low enough (and the benefits to stores of having a free, large, semi-empty parking lot are high enough) that there will always be free parking in those areas barring major structural changes.

Wow you big important people love your precious moving vehicles don't you?

Ha, this happened to me earlier today. I was parked in front of a Gymboree using my phone, and after about 10 minutes one of the biatchy employees starts tapping on my window, gesturing for me to leave. She seemed pretty pissed, so I left immediately. I didn't even get to finish masturbating.

Anyone who complains about a driver texting while parked in a parking space please do this, and pull the trigger, thank you.



/Insert joke about doing the girl instead here

This just in: Some people can't stop complaining, as they refuse to accept what happens to them.

"Fairness" is not a grown-up concept.

Drivers are starting to pull over before using their cell phones. Naturally, some people have a problem with this

... the Amish?

Car people problems

fark looking and paying for parking

Living in NYC, people pull up and wait as soon as you get in your car. I like to futz around, pretending that I didn't see them. When they do pull up and ask if I'm pulling out I say "No, sorry". Then as soon as they drive off I pull out behind them.

fark looking and paying for parking


I have a car, but it's time to re-evaluate one's life when things relating to parking, traffic etc anger you.

Life's too short.

1) Find a choice mall spot on black Friday.
2) Every 10-15 minutes, walk out to your car, get in, start it up, and make a phone call.
3) Shut the car off, walk back inside.
4) Repeat.
5) Maximum Christmas trolling.

Alternatively, the move in the case of this article is to double park right next to the vehicle in question, put your flashers on, and just lay on your horn until the person gets off the phone. Back up enough to let them out, and if they refuse, back to step 1.

Once before a long drive I pulled into a Publix parking lot cause I wanted to get something to eat, I bought a fruit salad.

A lady got mad at me, honked at me and drove off in a huff cause I was sitting in my car, eating my fruit salad.

So people getting pissed off for me sitting in a parking spot with my phone? In comparison to say 14 years ago when I didn't own a cell phone and was sitting in my parking space with 15m left on the meter reading a paper and listening to music?

/Dare ya to dent my door over me enjoying the time I paid for the space.

The Hawai'i island police give tickets even if you are sitting behind the wheel on the shoulder of the road...similar to DUI citations.
FYI:
Hawai'i police made sure that THEY were EXEMPT from the cell phone law...you know, the new $20million radio system just isn't enough and besides how are you going to do personal business on the police frequency

FTA:

Mr. Singh, 31, said he took a vow about a year ago not to text or talk on the phone while driving. The reason? "Believe it or not, it was Oprah. She had that whole campaign," he said, seeming sheepish.

Really? farking Oprah? I guess common goddamn sense didn't lead you to the same conclusion?

Keep watching Oprah, dumbfark, maybe she'll have an episode that deals with not putting your hand on a hot stove, or putting a jacket on in cold weather.

You can't have your phone to your head while driving. The next trend is that you can't even talk on a hands-free set. But sometimes you have to make a call.

These people are doing the safe thing. If they parked and then got out of their car to talk on the phone, you still would be out of a spot.

My God, it's getting so that you can't take a shiat without some busybody having an opinion about the matter.

A few years I was at the mall, returning to my minivan with my infant son. Some jackhole saw me and pulled up to take my spot. I had to push the stroller to the car...unlock the car, open the door...unload the diaper bag into the passenger seat...disengage the baby seat from the stroller...put it in place in the backseat...fold up the stroller and stow it in the back...then this assnugget ran out of patience and honked the horn. Which woke up my son and made him start crying. So I took my son out of the carseat and stood there by my van, comforting him...and this guy almost gets out of the car to yell at me. I tell him to fark off BECAUSE I HAVE A WAILING BABY THAT HE WOKE UP because he wants to poach a parking space near the mall entrance.

You have no right to a parking space until it's vacated, period.

This confirms everything I ever thought about New Yorkers. A meteorite is too good for you.

Hey, if you really want to punish us just relocate us to a godforsaken shiathole like Indiana. I'd rather live in Calcutta amongst the lepers.

Did anyone mention getting over it? The parking spot is theirs until they leave.

You should've walked back into the store.

I see people texting and driving AND swerving all day. I was .2 seconds late on a red light (yellow was changing), they take a picture and send me a ticket for $480.00. Texting and driving is way more prevalent and dangerous.

Where things are half the price and people don't purposely fark with each other for shiats and giggles? Yeah, it's hell.

Unfortunately I live in Connecticut, which is a taxed-to-death hellhole full of New York's trash.

On my way home today, I was speeding a little bit(61 in a 55 zone). Suddenly there's a cop behind me, so I ease off the gas and ramp it down a few MPH. Very hilly road, glacier scrape MI and all, suddenly a guy on a crotch rocket zooms past in the opposing lane, had to of been doing at least 70. Cop hits his lights, turns around, second crotch rocket veers off to a side road. I don't think I was going to get pulled over in any case, but it still made my friggin' day.

If that happened to me, I would get out of the car, lock it and go back into the store. After taking pictures/video of the driver and license plate.

While I don't live in a big city, so I may not understand real parking problems, when you go to the store, take the first decent spot you see. Even if it's in the back. Get some farking exercise. 9 times out of 10 you'll be in and out before douche-sharks circling the lot will be.

I come from a small town with little traffic and large plentiful parking lots. Now I'm in the city with scarce and expensive parking but luckily it also has decent transit and I live within walking distance of most needs anyways.

A car offered freedom in the small town (until you drink some alcohol anyways) whereas here it is a burden more often than not. Over $300/month just to insure and park a beater around here.

Yeah, what this guy said. Unless you're handicapable(heh), you can probably handle the extra 100 yards or so walking.

Oh, and while we're on the subject, why do people with massive SUV's have to park right at the front of the isle, so when you want to leave, you have to pull out halfway into the store-front late just to see if you're clear to go?

In any event, I don't even THINK to use my cellphone unless my car is safely parked.

I've dealt with too many multi-taskers on the road who gave no thought to driving and texting at the same time. Idiots.
