On handicap spaces....

About 2 months ago, I had to stop at the dealership, on a Sunday at 8 am (we are closed all day on Sundays BTW), to get my laptop. I have a key to the building, all the stalls are filled with service cars, so I park my car in the Handicap stall, next to the front door to run in for 2 minutes, take a piss, and grab my laptop. I have never seen the stall used during non business hours.

Sometimes we get customers roaming the lot on Sundays, just to browse around pressure free. So anyway, I am standing in the vestibule, arming the alarm, and some guy is walking up to my car, key in hand jack knife style, and I knew exactly what he was going to do. I opened the door and said ,"Go for it, do it right in front of me. What's stopping you?"

His response ,"F'n ###### bag BMW owners think the own the world. And walks away" (And yes, I get the Bimmer driver hate. I hate them as much as most of you.)

Ironic moment, he gets in his car, illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant in the street.

Double irony moment, I actually have a condition that qualifies me for Handicap tags, if I really wanted to get them.

I'm a big fan of letting go silent rippers while exiting the elevator. Enjoy, suckers!

This happened to me, and I had my permit showing. I rolled up my trousers (to show my 'disability' and told them to go do something imaginative.
Actually, I used to get this a lot. When wearing long pants, unless you watched me walk for a bit you wouldn't know.

When at a red light, if the person next to me isn't paying attention I'll give the engine a little rev or jump forward to see if they assume traffic is moving.
I did this to a buddy and he rear ended the car in front of him

What the hell is with people taking our their rage on people's cars?!? There are few things that piss me off more than people who think its ok to damage someone's property just to prove some point. I'm a pretty quiet non-confrontational guy, but if there's one thing that would make me go ape-shat, is seeing somebody do something like that to my car.

There's a couple of really nice cruiser bicycles up for silent auction at my local Salvation Army thrift store. I have no interest in buying either one but there seems to be one gal that wants both really bad. Bids close next Friday and I plan on out bidding this gal just to get her to pay more for the bikes and raise more money for the thrift store.

That part makes no sense. Surely only poor people would concern themselves with carrying around worthless coins.

So I squeezed in as tight as I could next to this car making it physically impossible to get into his car. I had to get out of my car through the passenger door.

Probably deservingly, he left me a nasty note when I got back.
you don't know if he parked in two spots on purpose or because the cars were aligned differently before you got there.

So, call it 220 working days per year X 5 minutes = 18.33 hours X 9 years = 6.9875 days.

So being an A-hole, has gained me at least a week of leisure time. And nobody, has yet to have been able to stop me, or miss my turn-off.
That reminds me of how the school board said they "made up" shutting down the schools for an extra week by making each school day four minutes longer.

Wow. Hanging out at grocery stores looking for 15 year old boys in trouble and then "driving them home" is pretty a-holeish.

I do. It was in the chinook underground parking which has 3 spots between those pillars. This guy was trying to park in 2 spots on the left stall. There was another car parked normally on the right side. I squeezed in the middle leaving enough room for me and the guy on the right.

It's not hard to tell based on the vehicle that was parked there. Countless drivers do it as they don't want any door dings or scratches to the paint job.

As mentioned before, getting off the C-Train and no one makes room means you get a shoulder bump. Two or more people trying to walk down a sidewalk get a shoulder bump instead of me getting off the sidewalk. And the stupid people that decide that two of them should stand at the front of the bus forcing every single person that gets on to force their way past them get a nice shoulder bump too.

And I can be an A-Hole when playing multiplayer games. Sometimes I will screw around with the opposing team, and sometimes my team. I enjoy taking a whole vehicle of teammates off a cliff killing everyone

Oh, in my Halo 3 days, when I got bored of being a General, and wanted to de-rank myself I was a total game ruiner.

I would get the sniper rifle, or the rockets... whatever the "coveted" weapon on the map was. Most times I would call it, and guys would just let me have them because they figured I would own with it because of my rank.

Anyway, I would get said weapon, and just fire off the rounds into the sky in front of my team (while tea-bagging the ground of course) just to piss off my team. Also driving fully loaded warthogs, or a doubled up quad off of cliffs, or running towards my team when stuck with a grenade always made for some good nerd rage.

Then of course once the team killing started on me, I would boot them all, and wait for the onslaught of nasty messages, while I hid somewhere in the map using some weird double jump or glitch, and would eventually be awarded the win when the other team quit out. Good times.
