Parking etiquette

Actually not! I read studies show that repeated education works better than punishment or instilling fear.

Don't believe everything you read....

Don't get me wrong. I like the punishment. If that doesn't work, amp up the punishment!

Had a UPS guy that would pull up behind my work truck or if I wasn't there, in front of my parking space a few years ago. I was on a mission every time I hit the shop, turning in paper work while the shop guys loaded the next load into my truck. If my truck wasn't in "my" parking space, it didn't get loaded, one of the requirements of the shop. They weren't "going looking" for my truck. So if UPS was inside getting a signature, I either had to wait or come back to move my truck again. He always said "OK, won't happen again", but it always did. One day it happened as I was heading for lunch. Truck was supposed to get loaded while I was at lunch and sure enough, I have to wait on UPS guy to show back up. I walked into the office, grabbed the 2 boss's keys who parked in the parking spaces on each side of me, outside the big door. I backed their trucks up in front of the UPS truck. Probably wasn't 6 inches of room to spare , and went to lunch. My boss called me, asking where the heck was his keys and when would I be back. I told him I was across the street eating my lunch in my personal pickup and he said "OK, see you in an hour". Now considering we only get 30 minutes for lunch, that was pretty much an "ATTABOY" as far as I was concerned. I got back and somehow the UPS truck was gone, but it wasn't because the trucks had been moved. Apparently he called someone with a floor jack and they spent 20 minutes jacking up one side and then the other and rolling it a couple feet at the time. As you can imagine, it never happened again, at least not for the 14 months I worked there.

I suggest to those folks that bad parking habits is generally what results in 'keying' scratches on the car.

Reminds me of once waiting patiently to take a parking slot at a Cosco.
Woman slickly slips into the slot I was about to occupy and she says 'I'll only be a minute' --B--ch!

Then U have the BMW's and Benz types that park diagonally right in front of the grocery front door because they are in a hurry!

People do everything to avoid excercise and then go hit the gym!

I’ve been trying to think of a plan to solicit free labor from the gym goers. I haven’t put a plan into place yet.

The only way to fix stupid, is to have them learn from their mistakes. They don't learn anything by someone telling them they did something wrong. They learn by suffering the consequences of their mistakes.

...Or...they park in a handicapped parking space because they are special, but not handicapped..Or...they take up two spaces so they won't get a door ding.

Sometimes education and punishment are one in the same! I think the big problem with people's parking and driving habits these days is mostly due to an "all about me" and entitlement attitude.
