Replying to: euphonium (Jan 20, 2009 10:28 am) The guy was smaller than me too...unless he was packing heat, I probably could have got away with it. But, I don't care for white cars, so I didn't have the urge

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jan 20, 2009 11:35 am) I see people yapping on phones while refueling all the time - no cars running though. Oh yeah, a new rant...I went to Costco on Sunday, and so many fools were trolling around for a close spot, when one could park in the far lot, and walk - no more than 2 or 3 minutes certainly. Laziness is very inconsiderate, the gas wasted and pollution created by these cars creeping and idling so they can get out of walking another 50 yards.

Replying to: fintail (Jan 20, 2009 11:51 am) One of the worst inconsiderate drivers in parking lots are those with pickup trucks having long trailer tow bar and ball protruding backwards menacingly. Do not park behind them across the aisle. |

Replying to: fintail (Jan 20, 2009 1:07 pm) Granted, it took some thinking to actually remember to park away from the herd. I usually just grab the first spot I find available, and that is usually in a busy part of the lot. I never managed to get a ding in those spots though. Ironically, the couple dings I did get were in the least-expected of places.

Replying to: fintail (Jan 20, 2009 11:51 am) I found I can find an outlying parking space away from car dingers, park, walk to the store, and still see some of those same cars still cruising for nearby spaces. Good exercise. And it saves time in the end. |

Replying to: ruking1 (Jan 20, 2009 9:30 am) It would be terribly ironic if I came across a vehicle with lights on, opened the door to shut off the lights, and then triggered the alarm. Now, lights are off, but alarm is on. Fast forwarding two hours, the owner comes out to find his battery dead and his car was keyed several times by annoyed passersby who were overwhelmed by the noise.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jan 20, 2009 12:05 pm) Some? I venture to guess that "most" fall into this category. I feel old-fashioned when I am taking my cart to a return slip, often gathering up others on my way. When heading into the store, I often take a cart back to the store for an elderly chap or lady - who I think, ironically, are the ones most likely to return their cart to a return slip - and they are always surprised and thankful for my courtesy. It is a good feeling to know I brightened someone's day by exerting so little effort, yet it is sad that such "common" courtesy comes as a surprise to the recipient. |
