Sad Sad Sad little man.

Senna

Dont think this is a true motoring topic, so i'll put it here.

Me and the missus when shopping in tesco's this evening and when we came back to the car, the bellow message was left on the missus's window screen



Now, she admits that she was over the white parking space line, but there were no cars in the next 4 spaces!!!! She was parked at the furthest end of the car park with aleast 40 spaces closser to the enterance.
And she had parked nexted to the trolley bay. The trolley bay wall is the start of the parking space so that spot is fairly cramp and had i been parking, i probably would have been over the line too.

But anyway the parking is irrelevant, that fact that some sad little man, took the time to find this PARKING VIOLATION, print it out, keep it (them) in his car and right down all the details of her car really does make me laugh.

Is this what people do in their spare time? Was this guy on such an ego tip that he thinks anybody will do anything other than laugh at the amount of time and effort put into this piece of paper? He wasn't even inconvenienced by her car taking up two spaces, if he was, fair enough, i'd still laugh my ass of but would take his point.
No i guess he drives around looking for cars to stick it on and feels he is a crusader for the average joe.

Well, the guy's got no friends, he's got to have some sort of hobby to keep himself busy...

i'll take time for something i find funny.
I dont think he done it for the laugh?

So are you one of these people? do you think its a healthy pass time?

Dudess

The person who had the ticket and put it on the windscreen is a LOT sadder.

OP, there are some people who do deserve a notice like that on their windscreen but from what you say, this person (and how do you know it was a man?) is just a pitiful saddo...

New Beetle unfortunately, she not that cool:D

by the way, the scan is so crap cause the paper looks like it was scanned before or something.
You can only barely read the original, the scan is how it actually is.

tut tut tut

Yeah it looks very dodgy alright, like its a photocopy of a photocopy of another photocopy.

TBH OP I dont believe your telling the full story. I hate gob****es that park on double yellow lines outside pubs etc..............I also hate when I can't park my merc because some idiot can't park straight. You know what I mean? Give the rich a break. We dont like mould like you.

Rb

Wait wait, yourself and the wife/girlfriend went shopping and SHE drove?

What happened your testicles?!

Also, as sad as he is for the parking violation thing (which is outright pathetic tbh), your wife/gf must be fcking awful at parking.

As i said, fair enough if she had been inconveniencing anyone but i swear she was at the other end of the car park, parked at the fence and the whole row behind (closer to the door) had plenty of spaces nearer the door.

I once got a piece of paper stuck to my window that said 'LEARN TO PARK YOU WA*KER' wrote in black marker, but fair enough i was taking up two spaces in a very busy car park near xmas time. That time i still laughed, but admit i was wrong. (was in a rush for getting xmas presents).

This one just really makes me think what kind of people are out there. The whole professionalism of it, and it not like this is the first time he probably used it. It just screams to me 'by day i'm a milded mannered accountant, but by night i'm a............

Im not a ****ing accountant you half wit. Im not rich either. But I hate thick people not knowing how to park. Idiotic, stupid, simpletons tbh.

are you taking the piss?

darkman2

Can you park a car properly? If you cannot your a simpleton (i.e your brain capacity is limited or compromised to a few brain cells). Cant make it anymore simple. Unless you would like me to go so simpleton that you would look completely retarded?

WhiteWashMan

i thought it was funny.

wil

:rolleyes:I'd hire a crack team of solicitors immediately and refute it.
I mean Letterkenny is not a State or Province for a start.
Its not worth the paper its photocopied on, bet Tescos wont even validate it.
Wouldnt it be a laff if you could organise those pair of elephants, herd of mules etc in to the car park and completely wipe his face in the resulting dung heap as well as disprove his theory. Where is there a circus when you need one?

I was wondering what a "satan of pygmies" :eek: looks like, halloween and all that, but I now realise it probably says safari, sounded better first time.
So next time you are parking there, be on the watch out for a small evil chap ready to pounce.

Ah no I've just realised, you must have f'd off the trolley attendant blocking his access to the trolley bay, (either that or the local hobo looking for a new set of wheels)
And for your heinous crime, may you be cursed with a squeaky trolley the next time you visit Tescos.:D

Apologies for my facetiousness, perhaps you are still fuming, but I think this falls in to the so ridiculous its funny category.
Probably the most effective counter measure when you found the offending "ticket" would have been to let out guffaw of laughter and hope he heard it from some dark damp corner of the car park.:D:D:D
Belittle the sad little man and forget about it.

Now I really should go to bed, stop posting stuff.

cam down, i really meant about your 'i'm not an accountant, i'm not rich' statement.
I wasn't saying you stuck it on the car, or did you? are you the actual sad little man? have i offended you with my post? will you retaliate with notes like 'wash your car', 'your nearside front tyre looks a little soft' 'you ran over a ladybird on the way into the carpark, MURDERER'

do shut up the two of you now please.

MarkR

I prefer the nice parking asshole one from here

I'm not 100% sure but I think I wrote something similar on a particularly spectacular "effort" at parking. Two / Four spaces I can't remember, but he/she deserved it. Car park was jammed.

I wouldn't give you wife one *ba doom - dish* if there was lots of other spaces around. Save it for the really bad cases!

daniel3982

haha I wouldve pissed myself, sad sad little man indeed.

coolhandc

i cant stand when people just lamp there car in any old way,just coz there was no cars beside her then doesnt mean there wouldnt be later!
very funny that someone would actually go to the bother of doing this!you sure its not a friend playing a joke!

He didn't do it just because the car was in the carpark
Taking up more than one space is ignorant behavior
Taking up parking for him, means losing customers
His idea was a creative way of taking action

Your wife (or friend) will now think twice about parking over a white line.

I think he took the right action. Whether he has friends or not is another issue.

The Al Lad

that was me who left that on your missus's car, if she knew how to park I wouldn't have had to do it...

tell her to sort it out

MagicMarker

I couldn't care if you're in a desert, if there's a parking spot then park between the fúcking lines!!!!! It's really simple.

You freely admit that neither of you are great at parking. Yet you get all hot & bothered & indignant when someone sticks a joke tickety-thing on your windscreen to take the pìss out of your parking.

Get over it. 'Sad sad sad little man' is right.

[slightly off-topic rant]
BTW - If the gobshìte young wan in the pale green Peugeot who pulled up in the disabled spot outside Supervalu in Skerries yesterday is reading this - you were more than "only two minutes" in the shop. Also, you may wish to bear in mind that while you were only planning on being there for "only two minutes" - if a disabled person had to go & find another parking spot so they could do their shopping it - your quite plain & blatant disregard for disabled facilities probably would have added "only" twenty minutes to their shopping trip. You twat.

Beruthiel

Made me laugh. If it has the added benefit of getting her to think twice about how she parks, a job well done and with good humour.

twanda

I think it's great ! I wish I had a few of those ticket thingies.
I see so many inconsiderate people taking up more than their fair share of space in parking lots...


This guys ticket seemed to do the trick aswell, OP -- it definitely seems to have gotten to you. I know people can be in a hurry and whatnot when parking but maybe your g'friend will take care to park between the lines in future...get in some practice for when the carpark actually is packed.

FlutterinBantam

If her parking was as slipshod as your grammar and spelling ,then she deserved it

Note did the job, however jokey it was. It's better than putting the windows in, which is what I feel like doing when I see ignorant parking. There's no excuse for sh*t parking. If it's cramped, park in an other space.

Irish supermarket carparks are the greatest parking horror story on the planet because the cops do nothing about the sh1te that goes on in there:(

I thanks my stars every time I get my car out of one in one piece .
If I have a choice of spaces i always stick mine between the 2 newest cars i can find .

If there is a space between 2 97 corollas I usually drive off and find another one.

letterkennys not that bad, oh sorry, you mean the ticket, reakon some one was getting a bit of a power trip printing of that rubbish,

humbert

Five minutes to print out a dozen of them and you're still grumpy about it hours later. Score one for the "sad sad little man".

Pete4779

Will the OP say whether he will allow his girlfriend to be so ignorant of others next time she parks?

Regardless of how many free spaces there are around you, being so sloppy just because no-one else is around is pretty lazy TBH.

Orange69

++ little man

Nothing more annoying than retards who are too stupid and ignorant to park a car properly.. we as a nation need more people to take a stand, even if its only a little one..

chabsey

You admit to having had a notice placed on your car saying you park like a wanker. In all my years driving I've seen some spectacularly ignorant parking but I've never seen a car with a note like that on it. So it would be fair to presume therefore that's it's highly unlikely that you got that note the first time you parked badly. More likely is that you regularly park badly and on that one occasion you out did yourself by managing to park so moronically badly that someone felt obliged to point out your failings in note form.

With that in mind, and considering that you also admit that your girlfriend, who was parking far away from any other cars, surrounded by plenty of room to manouver, in a relatively empty carpark *still* managed to screw it up and yet you both walked away knowing it was badly parked!

Granted the message left could be somewhat less childish but the point remains the same. I agree with the guy who left you the first message.

leninbenjamin

i'd buy the little man a drink. so many ignorant feckers on the roads.

oh and OP, it doesn' matter how much over the line you are. even by only a few inches she still prevents someone parking in that spot (unless they have something stupidly titchy like a smart car or that)

my pet hate though is people who park on footpaths.

Dudess

OP, you're right to be annoyed. You explained clearly that she wasn't obstructing anyone yet you still get a load of absolutely scathing abuse here. The space was tight, there was nobody else nearby - big difference between that and plonking your car across two spaces. The person who left the note was obviously dying for the day someone would do a really messy parking job, it hadn't happened yet, so he/she decided any old minor infraction would do. Was it even obstructing him/her? I mean, were there still a bunch of empty spaces next to her car when the two of you came out of the supermarket?

hahaha major thread backfire

If the space was tight then why not just park in the oh so many other spaces that were apparently availalbe?

Not only is the OP's partner a muppet for not parking correctly, but also a muppet for choosing the tightest space out of dozens of others!!! :rolleyes:

Owen

I made the fatal mistake of removing trolley dents from herself's car. She's not worried/paranoid she'll get more, and will park hours away from the shopping centre in the most remote part of the car park to make sure. Sometimes she takes two spaces, and can't be talked to at all. The real issue here is the size of spaces in Ireland. They're bloody tiny.

I find a reasonably effective approach (baseball bat not required) when someone parks in a Wheelchair parking spot is to ask the driver if they need help with their wheelchair.

Works both ways, help to those that genuinely appreciate it, and embarassment to the chancers.

Those stickers with the permanent adhesive look like they are probably more effective than yer mans photocopy. You see people going around with them for months.

Personally I wouldnt be bothered with the expense of stickers, I take the approach where practical and possible of parking against the drivers door. Kind of drives the message home a bit better when they cant get in to their car if it is badly parked.

Not everyone who parks in a disable spot is in a wheelchair though.
