Parking Job
So I was at work and while I was working I noticed this guy parked next to my bike. Anyone know San Diego, CA laws and if I can submit this to get him a ticket? Just because you drive an expensive BMW doesn't entitle you to park like an asshole. He is about 1/2 an inch from actually touching my bike underneath the cover.

I wonder if he knows the DMV messed up his vanity plate, the A and Y should be interchanged.

and he probably said to himself, what idiot motorcycle rider would park their bike in the front row of a strip mall.
the guy was an idiot, but seriously, if you don't want your bike to be messed with, or people to park like this, consider NOT taking up prime customer parking spaces while you're at work, especially on a motorcycle... common courtesy. |

I would not have felt bad if my bar end or pegs put a dent/scratch in his door when standing the bike upright.

Wow what a d**k. I woulda had a word with that POS.
Regardless if you're at work or not, for all the douche knew you were a customer. Don't really get this mentality of "if you park in a good spot, your bike will be screwed with"

You could have made more room...while you were out there taking pics, just relocate your bike to the rear of his car.

This is DEFINITELY a California thing I don't get -- The number of times I see people park like this or put their oversized SUVs in spaces CLEARLY marked 'compact' is insane.

Take a back corner spot, probably next to your other co-workers, so you know they won't eff with you. similar to driving defensively, you need to park defensively if you don't want **** like this to happen. in a parking lot, that means parking smart. It's not about what's "right" and what's "wrong", cagers feel like they're entitled to parking spots, and motorcycles aren't. |

How did he do this? I mean without touching.
@dfox is right here though. As much as it's unfair, you have to move away. No use talking to him either. Who in his right mind would buy this anyway? A truck that should drive like a car, but not really, because it's huge, and can't really be a truck, because it wants to be a sports car? These big beemers are simply stupid. Cars for huge egos, who buy them because they can, and no other reason. |

I knew the guy and when I confronted him, he said he got off on the back and didn't plan to be at the library (where we parked) long. Was annoying because a few days before we were talking about how annoying parking in that lot can be.

Meh, it's not any different than coming out and finding advertisements for events and parties or various flyers stuck underneath your wiper blades. Now if you printed them on sticker paper then that might be another story :P

Don't know about CA, but when I took driver's ed (15 years ago, in UT) they taught us it was illegal to double-park, whether side to side or front to back.

oh man.. this reminds me in february i went back home to turkey for vacation. I parked in this mall and was waiting for my friend to arrive. I always give extra space to whoever may park next to me because I don't want them to hit my car. So this asshole comes in and parks in such a way that he has **** load of room to get out but the passenger side has almost none left. Wasting all the space I gave him.
Not only that he had some girl next to him. So she gets out hits my car ofcourse and doesn't even bother looking. They just go away. I get out key the **** out of his car. I had paint chips falling on my fingers. From headlight to taillight. I just did that and went on and parked somewhere else. Best feeling ever I tell ya. |

Just park on the sidewalk and then you won't have to worry about cars parking on top of you.

Yep. Good times Maybe I go to the cops next time? Oh right. Once a taxi driver smashed into me head on. He was headed in the wrong direction onto oncoming lane. A cop saw the whole thing. Taxi driver put it in reverse and started running. I looked at the cop. I had a WTF expression. Cop asks me "why aren't you chasing him?". Yeah.. So maybe asshole cards and "hey dude pay for the damages" works in here. Not back home |
