Parking Etiqutte
Okay, I drive an SUV. Those of you who know me, have seen it, and know I drive it well. I also make it a point to park well. It's a large vehicle, and I know what it's like to be blocked in by a large vehicle (this is my 4th vehicle, I drove 3 cars before buying the Tahoe) so I make it a point not to do so to other people. If there's a good parking spot, but it's kinda tight and would possibly make it hard for all involved parties (myself and the two drivers who I'd be parking between) to get in and out of their vehicles, then I'll gladly take a space farther away where it's not so much of a problem. I'll also pull out and back in in order to straighten out and make sure we're all good on all sides-- I've got passengers who will attest to this by the way, I'm not just saying this for LJ. Now, saying this, yesterday I was heading out for lunch when another SUV (a Suburban if I remember right) had decided to not follow this etiqutte. Instead, it looks like they pulled into the space (making a right turn into the spot) but decided to NOT straighten out and stay at an angle giving them PLENTY of space to get out of their 'Burban on their side but not leaving me a goddamned can opener to get into my Tahoe. So I did what any self-respecting California driver would do in this situation: I banged the shit out of their brand new 'Burban. Oh it was new alright, dealer paper plates still on it, metal flake paint shimmering in the sun, and now they've got a great accessory of a big assed scratchy dent in the side of it. Now being that I'm a big man (you guys know me :) ) I had to squeeze into my vehicle, but I got in, and was proud of my handiwork. When getting to where I had to get to, I got out and took a look at my own SUV, knowing that such an act would have definitely left some scarring on my part but hey-- that's the price we pay for the smiting of one's enemies, right? Luckily, it's only a couple of scratches on the EDGE of my door that could be easily remedied with a quick spot paint. So some slight scratching was definitely worth the asskicking that other jackass got. Definitely worth it to me. I know people have this notion of SUV drivers being assholes who think they own the road because they're in a vehicle so large (and a lot of these cocks are), but I try not to be. I try to be as courteous as possible, but goddamn did this person piss me off. They get the horns, and I hope they enjoy their newest accessory. | | 10:01 am |

Same as it ever was.
 You are Form 7, Gryphon: The Wyrm. "And The Gryphon displaced the balance of
the world in his favor. With grace and
control, Gryphon deceived mankind and ruled
over civillization. But even he realized that
all good things must come to an end."Some examples of the Gryphon Form are Satan (Christian) and Baphomet (Assyrian). The Gryphon is associated with the concept of control, the number 7, and the element of wind. His sign is the gibbous moon. As a member of Form 7, you are a very in control individual. You maintain your coolness in most situations and always seem to be prepared. Though some may say you are a bit of a control freak, you know that you really do make the best leader even if others can't see it. Gryphons are the best friends to have because they have a positive influence on people. Which Mythological Form Are You? brought to you by Quizilla | | Tuesday, June 15th, 2004 | | 12:43 pm |
