This is a phenomenal way to get your car keyed and mirrors broken

I don't park in those spots. Too easy. In and out, mission accomplished.

You might want to reconsider that action unless you want to get arrested and catch felony charges if the ADA is not feeling charitable.

and I gladly give them 10 Rand (about 50 cents, USD) for their troubles.

I pull up frantic and scream “move I have to shite!!” And they always move. Then get out and calmly walk away.

About 20 years ago I was driving in front of the Memorial Tower about 1:00 P. M. prior to an LSU night game when I saw a vehicle backing out and leaving. As I was attempting to turn in and park a couple of guys jumped into the space and were beating on my window and began yelling at me that the space was reserved for their friend and I couldn't park there. I asked where was the friend and they said he was working and could not get there until 4:00 P.M. I told them they could not hold the space and I was going to park there and they needed to move. They did get out of the way as I was slowly entering the space. Then one of them jumped into the car parked to the left of me and began driving into my space at an angle so I just kept pulling forward until my bumper struck and damaged the right front fender of his car which was now about three feet into my space. Then his wife began yelling at me for damaging her car. (LOL).

I called campus police and when they arrived a guy who was running for judge and knew the group and had set up a booth on the parade grounds came over and tried to tell the police I caused the accident. Then some people picnicking right in front of us told the police the true story of what occurred and that's how the report was written. There was no damage to my car and the idiot who drove in front of me had a very pissed off wife and a damaged vehicle to deal with.

It's almost as trashy as leaving ladders and chairs to save a spot on a parade route.

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. They fooled around. They found out.

Man this is worse IMO. Absolute losers. It seems many AI resorts are nixing the towel game, thankfully

Wasn’t there a post the other day about their dad getting shot and killed for arguing over a parking space?

Just park in the back of the lot and walk. It’s good for you anyways.

I don’t believe your story. The timeline seems odd.

No. I park at the very end of most parking lots. Don’t want anyone parking near my truck.

Fighting over parking spots is for lazy fat baws

Had this happen to me one time. Very crowded venue in Houston. Id been sitting in a row waiting for a car to back out for sometime. Another car wheels in as soon as a car backs out of a spot and an obese democrat gets out and blocks my car while her babydaddy pulls into the spot.

I waited and went and found another spot 10 minutes later. Let’s just say I bet they don’t do that again.

Depends if they got there first and are hiding while other car loops or if they are holding for longer time and car not near.

Fair is fair, being a dick is not.

This brought back memories of parking around Legion Field.
