Why you should keep a piece of chalk in your car.

[oldcarnut]

Got this in an email and thought it was a twist for using sidewalk drawing chalk

I was with a buddy of mine once and we found someone parked like this...     my friend took out a grease pencil and wrote the following on the guy's window....

"I hope you dont f*** like you park... 

...  otherwise you'll never get it in"

Wow.  What a great way to get your vehicle keyed...

...or, you and your buddy can park winter rat type cars tight on both sides of it and watch to see how the driver gets into his car.

Back in '70 my buddy and I used to go in his '70 Plum Crazy 440 Charger to an all night restaurant in the corner of a mall in a Sacramento suburb.
This was around 1-2am when the typical weekend party had died down.  We bench raced while inhaling coffee, eggs, hash-browns, toast, etc.  We always parked at least 3-4 rows away from the place all by ourselves to avoid the drunken door dings if you parked nearer the restaurant.  Without fail, when we left around 2-3am there was a Sheriff's car parked very close to one side or the other out in no man's land (no one in the car tho').  Guess they trying to send a message of some sort.  Probably laughing their a$$es off watching us go to the car.

Of course, it could have been payback for our many burnout type runs from the apartment building down the street to Van's for more beer or Mickey D's for cheeseburgers and fries.  Somone no doubt complained but we were never pulled over - fortunately.  But see, the burnouts were necessary cuz my buddy's wife drove the 4spd to work and back during the week like a grandma.  It was always loaded up and belched dark smoke like mad until we wound it out a bit on Friday night or Saturday.  The good old days....

...smokem if ya gottem!!!!

over here that's the only way to park a "real" car and not have door dents or a white stripe down the side of your car when you get back(f witts just cant park without touch parking) . I look for a double row as far away from the door as possible   and park right in the middle of the x . always some ahole parked near it when I come out .must be waiting to "have a go" funny that's never happened  they start car and drive away .the "biker "look strikes again

Wouldn't key the car but would use the grease pencil!!!

[polywideblock]

am I the only person who's noticed that with the profusion of plastic bumpers now people just don't care if they "rub" the car next to them  . sorry just my pet peeve

[Fred]

I'm buying some chalk tomorrow.  So that I can mark out my own huge parking spot.

Great idea! I think I have a bucket of chalk around here somewhere...leftovers from when the kids were small. I'll have ave to put it in the car. Like the grease pencil idea too.

I would park the same way after putting my dually in a parking space and seeing the marks on the rear bumper I now take up four spaces. let me catch em rubbin against my cars and it would be instant death. But I do like the creativity of the picture.

[Ghoste]

I think its an awesome idea, I'm getting some chalk too.

[ACUDANUT]

Love it.

[bill440rt]

That picture is awesome. 

I just got back from vacation (had a rental car), and one night last week we decided to go out for ice cream after dinner.
I park the car in the lot, and there were tons of empty spaces. While we were still in the car some dinghole pulls in and parks less than a foot away from our passenger side. You guessed it, WHAM!!!! Opens his door RIGHT INTO our passenger side.   
I get out of the car, the guy can barely speak but says, "Uhh... like sorry, uhh....."    Thank goodness it was a rental, but still I pointed out that there was this complete, empty, gaping lot yet he has to park frigging right on top of me??     
Some people DO NOT care about the property of others. I usually like to find an end spot, at the opposite side of a parking lot.

Funny

When I used to have a tiny little Hyundai Accent that I didn't give a shit about, I would pick the drivers side, back in so my passengers door was about 1/2" from their mirror and then walk away laughing.

used to keep a litre of tuna oil for just such occasions (in through the air vent grill)   that smell wipes the smile off real quick
