Motorcycle parking vs. Porsche

[HappyHighwayman]

Maybe not... but I guarantee you, he'd think twice about acting that way again. Look at it this way... whenever you go to someone's house, you don't think twice about stepping on their doormat. Now, if just once, it were to jump up and BITE you really HARD... you'd think twice about stepping on one again, huh?

I've noted that many Americans are pretty big on Might is Right. I'm not a fan.

eh, re-word that, we're big on bullies getting the smack down.

Sorry let me explain. I'm totally onboard with bullies getting a smack down, but I don't believe in physically threatening someone to get a coerced "apology". Someone above mentioned they were threatened the same way, and I'm guessing they weren't necessarily being a "bully". If a bigger/stronger guys beats me up and happily gets arrested for it, well, that's his idiotic decision as he rots in a cell with his right-ness in tact.

Threatening someone who is clearly wrong in order to obtain an apology will simply make the person fear the repercussions of NOT apologizing, and not cause them to likely reflect upon their actions, and may even get them to justify their own actions in their mind out of spite.

Awesome analogy. I'm picturing a doormat acting exactly like that book in Harry Potter.

Didn't you know- Porsche drivers can drive and park wherever they want For example, at my work, there is a Porsche that parks in the one mc parking spot in front of the building (1 regular car spot sliced up to 3 or 4 mc spots). Whenever a mc manages to beat him there and parks in the spot, he parks in the HANDICAP space two spaces over (there's a striped space in between the two spots). Apparently, he is so entitled that he doesn't go out of his way for even handicap people

If someone did that to moto parking i'd probably say something or leave a note if i never same him come or go.

+1
why doesn't anybody say/do anything?

I'm sure he is fully aware that he is parking in the motorcycle and handicap spots so telling him isn't going to do anything. He doesn't own the place or anything but is sure acting like it.

He also works outside on his own Macbook instead of in his office with the company provided computer. I guess society's norms don't apply to him.

So? Call the cops and tow his ass.
Why wait for a handicapped person to come along and be inconvenienced? By then it's too late.

I don't see the connection between the computer he uses and the fact that he's a selfish ass with his parking.

 

[mosquito]

What do people who need to used the handicap spots do in cases like this? Report them to whatever Parking Authority every day until it's fixed?

 

[Starshooter10]

Yeah thats pretty lame.

props to you for doing the mature "right" thing

as soon as he started to pull forward i probally would have *fell* off my bike right onto his hood and smashed my lid into his windsheild...

on the flip side to that...

im a 300 lb dude with an attitude!

or he can try and run... but I think my bike is still faster this is small penor mobile.

and your duc might be too

You can tell him that the cops appreciate the extra revenue

 

[psychocandy]

totally different discussion, but a ten yr old 600 vs a brand new Porsche? my money's on the Porsche. then again, in the city with yr smaller profile and increased maneuverability, you probably would be able to get away no problem. but still, the point remains...

sorry, /threadjack

I think designing a fake parking ticket would be in order. You've got about a week before April 1.

 

[PorradaVFR]

I'd call the proper authorities next time he parks in the HC space - the fine is not insignificant and IIRC increases each violation.



















one must be careful with brake fluid as it can damage paint
