How is it when someone parks next to you they think 3 inches of space on the driver door is enough. But when you are waiting for a car to pull out in a parking lot so you can take the spot, the person starts to back up then hits their breaks if anything gets withing 12 feet of their back pumper. Then they backup another inch and slam on their breaks again sure they are about to crash into the vehicle parked in the next row behind them.
You try to give the person some encouraging words under your breath but they eventually devolve into a stream of obscenities.
That was pretty much the phrasing. Thereâs another with the same words (maybe one or two different) at the linked page. No doubt the guy (either a guy or he delegated it to his eight-year-old) didnât have a premade one handy, but knew the exact phrasing for some reason. Maybe he got one once.
A few years ago I had a paid parking spot right in the middle of a busy area of Boston. It was an amazing spot a few feet from my work and I was really lucky to get it as quickly as I did. One day both the gate broke, and I drove a different car than I usually drive, and someone was parked in my spot. I called the parking lot manager and he explained that someone had parked in a different spot, a paid person parked in my spot, and since they towed the unauthorized person, I just should park in the other spot (sorry if thatâs hard to follow). No biggie I thought. I come out after working late and find a whole series of passive aggressive post it notes on my window warning me to not park in that spot again. The next day I taped all the notes to a piece of paper and put it on the other personâs car and explained that if she was the one who wrote the notes that she shouldnât park in MY spot either. That got me a visit from the parking lot managerâŚI guess she was freaked out that someone replied to her note. Since I drove a different car, she didnât recognise my car and thought I would just disappear.
People donât understand what âpassive aggressiveâ means. If you send a co-worker an email asking her to do something and she reads the email but never replies and never does what you asked her to do, thatâs passive aggressive. These notes are aggressive-aggressive
One time I came out of a grocery store, and two dude bro programmers were sitting on my car (next to an empty bench). I remotely activated the alarm via my key fob, and they fell to the ground. As I approached I shrugged and said, âhey, sometimes sitting on other peopleâs cars causes an alarm to go off. Try the bench, I hear itâs lovelyâ.
One time I was driving a 16â uhaul, and had to stop at a bed bath and beyond for some reason. The parking lot was magnificently empty, so the mischevious part of me asked, âhow many spots can I take?â. Mind you I did this like half a mile away from the store in a sea of unbroken asphalt.
Six. I managed to wedge into six spots at the same time with a sixteen footer.
