What kind of things have you folks found upon returning to your truck in a crowded store parking lot?...............Just today while loading dog food bags into the bed of my ranger, I watched this woman slam her cart into the pass. door............While I was standing there! I said, " hey! what the heck lady!" her only responce was, " its just a truck". This is a small town I will see her Audi again....I think I have had my share of parking lot damage over the years, how about you folks, any good stories?

 

If any damage was done to your truck all I can say is "PAYBACKS ARE A *****#%**%$."

 

I came out from lunch one day to find a 2' crease and bumper plastic down the door and rear quarter of my Bronco. Just a couple of weeks ago my wifes car looks as if a mirror caught the rear quarter and scratched it up real good. Don't that kind of **** just **** you the **** off?

I hate irrisponsible poeple so bad it makes my head want to explode.

 

Same thing happened to my grandpas car when we were both sitting in it at a parking lot. THis lady dented his BRAND NEW 1988 Olds 98 brougham. When he said somthing to her she ignored him, so he slammed his door into her pos toyota trecel wagon putting a nice crease in her door! No damage to his car due to the metal door guards clipped on the edge. we went and saw a friends body shop and had his door that she damaged fixed for free that week!

 

I just love it when i park one of my good trucks WAY out there to avoid this crap, when you come out, you find people parked 6 inches away on both sides, and a new door ding! one of these days, my f350 bumper is going to tear a canyon down the side of some camry!

 

Parking lots are the reason I dont drive my good truck to any stores. I drive my beater 86 F150, aka the war wagon, there's nothing in a parking lot that could hurt that truck any worse then what I do to it on any given day.

I like finding people with nice vehicles that park like jackasses and take up two parking spots. I'll pull right up next to them, like I'm trying to put my truck into the half of a spot they left, I'll crawl over and go out the passenger door cause I get so close that I cant open mine. Yes I honestly have nothing better to do, when I can screw with someone it makes my day.

This didnt happen in a parking lot, but on a main road on my way home from the store. Some idiot in a Honda del sol couldnt drive a stick, he kept rolling back like 10 feet and he'd tap into my front my bumper. It really wasnt a big deal the first couple times, he looked like a young kid, my truck is a beater he aint hurting it none, his car was a little beat up too. About the fifth or sixth time he did it I pressed the gas about half way down and shoved his car a good 15 feet into the intersection, he was laying on the horn the whole time. I think he got the message because he didnt move a inch until the light turned green, then he took off like a bat outta hell.

 

When my youngest daughter was learning to drive I had an old Mazda323, 5 speed.
Our lower driveway was on a hill, so I got her on it and made her start and go about 10' thel push the clutch in and roll back down the hill, then stop and start back up it again. I tried to tell her why she was doing it but it still ticked her off.
The next day my wife took her driveing and when she got back home she told me she now saw why I was doing what I did.

 

Those stories were hilarious. Rep points for you!!

 

Now that I have my 'Yota, I could care less about what happens to it in the parking lot. Chances are, people won't want to touch it for fear of their vehicle catching it's ugliness!

And yes, I am one of those *******s that parks crooked in a spot. With manual steering and 33's in a parking lot, just be lucky I make any effort to park decent

 

Mat and Ben great stories!

Ive been pretty lucky so far, I ahvent caught anyone dinging one of my vehicles. Im the kind of guy that woiuld raise hell about it though.

Old93junk If I was in your position, I would have ran my foot into the side of her audi. I dont tolerate that kinda crap. Im one of those "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, dent for a dent" kinda guys, and have no problem enforcing it!

 

.................... Like I said, this is a small town. I WILL see her audi again!

 

Oh man your story about the Mercedes about knocked me off my chair, that is funny as hell. It really does me good to hear others enjoy screwing with people as much as I do.

A couple years back I was leaving class, the road in front of my college has a stop light about every 50 feet, and they're all timed perfect so you either hit em all green, or you're stuck behind traffic going so slow that they all turn red. Well one day I was hitting them all red, had some moron behind me tailgating me the whole time, he was so close I couldn't see his hood over my tailgate outta the rear view mirror. I was sitting at one of the red lights and he started inching forward on me, even though he's already only 2 feet away from me. I had enough of it so I put her in reverse and mashed the gas for a half second, just long enough to spin the tires and make him think I was gonna ram him, then I mashed on the brakes. He started yelling and screaming out his window, calling me every name in the book, so I gladly exchanged a few "f u's" back at him. I guess he finally had enough of it cause he got outta his car holding a hammer and started walking my way. I was thinking to myself you gotta be kidding me, he was a scrawny little idiot, about 5.4 or 5.5 maybe 130 pounds, had big saggy pants on and he was wearing a visor sideways. Here I am about 6 foot 3, maybe 245 pounds. I threw my door open and jumped out, slammed my seat forward, and grabbed my rusty 4 foot section of exhaust pipe, with catalytic converter attached, and I started walking twords him. He stopped dead in his tracks, turned around and ran back to his car, he ran over the curb and through someones front yard for 10 feet or so before he finally got to the turning lane and took off full speed down the other road. The funny thing was I seen him in the hallway at school about 2 weeks later, we were walking twords each other, he finally noticed me and stopped dead in his tracks, I smiled and waved at him. He backed up a couple feet and ran down another side hallway, my buddy and me about died laughing.


I had an old buddy from high school who drove a beatup Chevy Celebrity, we called it the "s#*t-lebrity" or "The Mo-Bile Turd". I was driving my beat to hell 82 F100 back in those days so if we were driving near each other we'd always mess around. We'd run into the back of each other at red lights and what not, normally who ever was behind would try to push the other one through the stop sign. We'd just got out of class one day, I was the first vehicle in line at the red light and he came flying up behind me, he rolled into the back of me probably doing 10 or 15 mph, just fast enough that he slid the front of his car under the back of my truck, my trailer hitch was high centered on his hood and my rear tires were off the ground lol. By that time there was a line of cars in the two lanes behind us, man did we put on a show for those fine folks. I got out of my truck yelling and screaming, I walked back to his car and opened the door I pulled him out and dropped him on the ground, I was screaming and pretending that I was stomping the hell outta him. When the light turned green we got back in our vehicles, he drove through the green light with the back of my truck on his car, we finally got ourselves manuvered into a parking lot, I got my floor jack under the diff of the truck and lifted it up so he could back his car out from under it. Oh man did we have fun back in those days. The celebrity's tranny finally went out, so we absolutley destroyed that car before he sold it to the junk yard. He bought a beatup 77 F150, between our 2 trucks we back into the sides of the car, he ran his truck over the front of it. We put a chain through the windows and over the roof, he hooked the other end to his truck and pulled the car over on its lid, he pulled the car around on its roof while I slammed into with mine. We did this in his huge back yard, the neighbors and their kids were standing along the fence laughing like hell the whole time, someone called the cops on us so they showed up and put a end to our fun.

 

Mat those are great stories!

When if first got my license I had a 78 datsun truck, my buddy had an 81 datsun 510 car, we played smash up derby up and down main street all the time too, it was fun!

 

What if they are parked way out where they aren't inconveniencing anyone by taking two spots, say at the far end of a parking lot where no one else is parked? If someone like you did that next to them in that situation I'd have to say its you being the jackass, not them. Nothing wrong with having something nice and wanting to keep it that way.

 

As far a screwing with people you dont know just because you have nothing better to do. You may meet someone who has 'nothing better to do" than give you a beating you will never forget.think about that...lol
