ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
If you're in a parking lot that has spaces that look like this:

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
<--------------- 1
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
---------------> 2
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

You MUST drive right to left in lane number one (look at the helpful arrow), and left to right in lane number two (again, consult the arrow). If you're driving in the opposite direction, YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. Don't look at ME funny or flip me the bird if I honk at you! It's not MY fault you flunked the first day of driver's ed!

6. File me under "nice diagram" too
Though it would be better if the bottom lines on "one" connected with the top lines on "two." Just sayin'.

12. I think it would be nice too
I made it very pretty where it all lined up and stuff, but spaces between slashes go away when the post is posted.

7. Maybe that person has about 2983019287391273987128937 things
on their mind.

I always get really amused when I'm honked, because it's like you know what? If you're so angry about whatever I'm doing that you need to honk me about it, and that's the angriest you're going to be all day, you are doing way better than I am. Even when I'm irritated at someone cutting me off or whatever, I don't bother honking or making a spectacle of myself. what's a honk going to do anyway? Plus I'm a woman, and you never know when you'll get a nut.

You're right about how to drive in that situation though....

8. No. People who don't drive the right way
are freepers and there is no defending them. They should get the death penalty.

14. Indeed. Raving human sacrifices, the lot of them...
Hell's too good for bad parking-lot drivers. Stick a slow-burning fuse down their gas tanks, light it and walk away. We're all better off in the end. I mean, sweet Jesus, these people could breed! :evilgrin:

17. Okay, now that I have said that.
Tonight I backed into a woman sitting in her car with her grandchild. I swear to God, I 'tapped' her bumper and you would have thought I had drove a monster truck over her and the kid. :eyes:

Anywhoo, I called the cops because she started pointing out damage on the car that I couldn't have possibly caused. I was backing up fer cryin' out loud, going approximately 1 MPH. She said "You really whacked us". I said "Lady, if I really whacked you, you would be sitting in that parking lot across the street".

Time for another drink.

20. I'm in VA.
And it was my fault. I backed into her. But, dear God, she made a federal case out of a little ding...I kid you not.

23. Probably because I have the tone of the
elitist New Englander that I was born to be.

Born, raised, educated in CT. Moved here in 1991 with husband for his job like a dutiful wife with an 8 month old. But, truth be told, the neighborhood where I am has lots of transplants like me and I really, really like it here. (Even though it is a red state)

Attorneys are required, I believe to pass through Williamsburg, VA at some time to absorb history, at which time I will expect a phone call from you so you can be entertained by the Midlofamily in the style which befits you!!!!

:hug:

10. Without fail, after our first major snow here, people park perpendicular
to the spots and drive straight across the lanes. They get all "snow-crazed," because in Minnesota, y'know, we don't get that much of it.:eyes:

11. Yeah, everybody comes back from bad driver camp for our first snow
Driving 15 mph in a 50 and parking in clear defiance of the lines with even the slightest dusting on the ground.

18. Do you hate the people who park their car as to take up two or more
spaces cause they think their car is tough and don't want anyone to ding it. I HATE THAT
