Parking Woes

[jac04]

I'm going to wait by my JT after work and see about having a few words with the person in the white Jetta. Completely unreasonable to infringe on my well-established parking area, and they need to be made aware of this.

You need to go out and take a piss around your Gladiator and assert dominance.

WOW ,very entertaining but lets face it we probably all have had an incident we did not like in a parking lot. The sticker idea is the non aggressive way to handle the situation.
Lets face it that's no fun or any release of our built up aggression, in this, its all about me world. Myself I always park my gladiator on the other side of the lot where there are no vehicles and walk the distance to the door. It lets me look back several times at such an awesome vehicle .

One of the great things of the Jeeps is they are virtually impossible to ding if you have side steps, between the plastic bumpers, fenders and side steps I generally park much closer and in smaller spots then when I am in my other cars, even shopping carts can’t really hurt them. Sometimes people park close and leave little room, most times I don’t think they do it on purpose they just don’t care which I understand, the vast majority of people view a vehicle as a tool to get from one place to another

I'm less worried about dings than I am about the impossibility of opening the doors . All I ask is for enough space to open up the doors.

Wow, op, no disrespect, but you are a lucky man if this is what you think is a big problem and worthy of a "complaint" post.

Look at the bright side, she is almost perfectly in speck with her slot lol...She didn't block your access to driver door...She didn't bump into your Truck (that would piss me off too), she has every right to park there, and she is older than you and is fighting cancer. Give it a break. Quite frankly, you were out of line questioning her. Unless you are the one paying taxes on the spot next to you hahah!...Having a truck is not an "entitlement"...Neither is having a Jeep...Having a Gladiator comes close (lol ;-) but is no entitlement either.

Morning Joe! Please do me a favor and go back and read the reply posts from me and you will see that you are not aware on a few assertions that you mentioned. I don't care to repost all the details again here. Thanks and have a good day!

Cute Jeff!!! You win! (Have to admit that is funny though)

Hahaha! I always figured the Mojave would just take it upon itself to "lift a leg" if need be.

I could not disagree more. Standard 'car guy' code is you never, I repeat NEVER, touch or f*** with someone else's car. How would you feel if someone slapped a sticker on your JT just because they didn't like something completely meaningless about you, your JT, or something you did with your JT?

Unless... It's a rubber duck

Lawn and garden entrance has been closed since Covid started so no doors there, but I typically park away.
And I actually like the corral because 1) if someone has taken their cart to the vicinity of it, they are putting it in and not leaving it in the middle of the lot and 2) it is a solid barrier that drops the chance of getting a ding by 25%

My observations in my area anyway. This Dingus parker aside, have yet to get a ding in any of my vehicles.

Interesting and logical perspective behind parking next to the corral. Fairly similar to parking next to one of the islands other than the barrier will block the door on that side if you park way over in the space.

I've seen my fair share of people try to aim and push the cart across from the other side of the travel lane into the corral with varying amounts of success and never look back. It's also rare to see one where the carts aren't strewn around the corral entrance and generally blocking the spaces next to the corral and cars in them.

As far as Lawn & garden, I usually walk to the main entrance anyway. Unless it's raining it's still the same distance whether I'm walking inside or outside but my walmart may be laid out differently form yours.

When that first mushroom cloud fills the sky, posts like this one will be a quaint reminder of what life in the current year used to be like.

That is all contingent on the EMP from the blast not taking out our entire grid and the internet of course...

THAT IS WHY I CARRY

Huh? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. You carry because you think it gives you the right to put a sticker on someone else's vehicle? Or you carry because you think it gives you some way to retaliate against someone who puts a sticker on your vehicle? Or something else?
