This past Saturday we were at the mall for an event so it was busier than usual. As we were leaving, this young Asian woman rolls down her window and calls out to us, "HEY! Are you guys leaving??". We nod to her and move on, figuring she won't get our stall because she's heading in the opposite direction and we still have one more aisle to cross to get to ours. Still, my husband says, "Sheesh, aggressive eh?". Haha...

So we turn down our aisle and of course, there is a van behind us, not the woman who spoke to us simply because the aisles were full of cars waiting for parking. We get to the car and start loading up when out of the corner of my eye I see the girl's car behind the van. She starts honking. I'm like, omg.. She pulls up next to the guy, rolls down her window, and I can hear her yelling at the guy, "EXCUSE ME BUT THIS MY STALL, I'M TAKING IT!!" The guy in the van yells something back at her but she's already rolled her window up and started to inch forward. He yells at her again and this time I can hear him saying, "THIS IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE LADY, THIS ISN'T YOUR STALL!!".

Horror of horrors, she pulls up and turns in front of him to BLOCK him (AND us), rolls down her window and starts yelling at us (trying to put our two kids in the car btw), "EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL THAT GUY THIS IS MY STALL AND THAT I'M TAKING IT??" My husband just tells her we're not getting involved. This pisses her off and she starts telling us that she's late for work. She tells us again, "I'm already late for work!!" We just ignore her until finally she yells something else at us and I hear the word "assho1es" and she zooms off. I make a crazy twirly finger sign at the guy in the van and he screams at me, "I KNOW!! SHE'S CRAZY!!!"

My husband says that if he were the guy he would have let her take it because it's not worth it for her to come back and key his car, but I can totally understand why the guy wouldn't back down. Anyway, talk about a freakin psycho. Hello noob, employee parking lot.

Smiley: laugh I remember at the UCSD parking lot when every one of the what seemed like a thousand was full, students would circle the lots like sharks and then they would start following students who were walking out to their cars. Some of them would offer rides to the students who were leaving so that they could get right into that stall. What a good kidnapping tactic that would be for a serial killer that stalks college students. I see a movie in the making on that premise!

That kind of stuff used to happen to me outside of the one walmart all the time. I am not exactely the kind of person to tick off cause me not getting mad means getting the person trying to **** me off to the boiling point. I have pulled out a tire gauge and checked pressure, check fluid levels, reorganized my trunk to put nothing in it, read a magazine or something, or just sit and listen to the radio.

I had a guy get out of his car before and come up to me and start yelling. I was driving my scraping truck at the time. If he had scratched it I wouldn't know and it has the nice rubber donut run flats. After a minute I shut my door, said "damn I forgot something", and walked back inside.

All in all inpatient people suck but they are good for amusement on those lazy days.

The parking at my college (University of Maryland at College Park) was similarly bad.

One time, I had just pulled into a parking space, my engine/etc was still on, and someone came up and started vulturing my spot. I looked at my watch, had about 20 minutes before my classes started, so I had time. So, I just sat there, listened to the CD that was playing, and chilled for a few minutes. Dude was still waiting there. So, I got out of my car and started walking to class. Man, was he pissed.

Another time, someone was following me as I was walking through the parking lot.. *towards* the campus and away from my car. He followed me halfway through the lot until he finally realized that I probably wasn't heading to my car to leave. Duh?

The only time I had an incident like that I was at Best Buy and wanted to murder this guy. I seriously had a bout of road rage or psychotic anger I don't know what it was. I had just walked out of the store and was walking back to my car. There was a guy with his white trash family all piled into their two tone Dodge Shadow in the aisle looking for a spot.

I get in my car thinking nothing of it, just figured the guy would take my spot when I pulled away. So I back out and swing my car to face the front of his. Apparently Cletus saw another car behind me so he zips right in. But here's the kicker I'm not fully out of the spot yet and he can't get all the way in. So this jerk is sitting looking at me flicking me off screaming out his window at me.

I'm generally an extremely laid back person when it comes to this so I'm not entirely sure why I flipped out. I get out of my car and walk back to the car behind me and the girls in it I ask if they will please back up so I can move out of the spot, the whole time this guy is screaming at me calling me everything but my christian name.

I back up he flicks me off as he zooms into the spot. Something snapped, I jumped out of my car and walk over to his as he opens the door. I kicked it harder than I thought humanely possible and slammed the door on him and I just stood there for a few minutes. I ended up walking away after the two girls in the car behind me kept telling me to walk away.

And besides everyone know's there are no cars in Hawaii Pikko

my latest incident wasnt person to person but via a note. Dont you love those?

About a month ago I drove to Target and the place was packed. Fortunately I have a cojmpact car and saw a space I could get in with no problem. The SUV parked on my right, however, parked at an ungodly angle, had half her front in the spot I was squeezing in. However, I got in with no problem, but realized it would be tight for the driver of the bad car. Not my problem since the person doesnt know how to park in the first place.

I come back about 45 minutes later, with a big note on my windshield and the SUV gone. Note said: "Don't you know how to fucking park????" I checked my car, made sure I was perfectly in the spot as I should no angles ( I parked perfectly) and just laughed for a good 5 minutes.

Ah, I remember my first road rage incident. Prior to that, my mother hadn't ever heard me curse. It was over Christmas holiday shopping season, at the parking lot of Macy's in Springfield Mall. This woman cut my mother off as she was trying to back out of her spot to prevent some other woman from taking it before she could, but also preventing us from getting out. I watched her try to mime insults at my mother for a good couple of minutes (which my mother didn't quite get, not because of any language barrier but due to general incredulity at this woman's level of intelligence). I rolled my window down, waited until she did the same, and then called her a stupid *****, and told her to move. That was it. She was silent, she moved, and my mother asked me where I learned that kind of language. I was like, twenty-two, and surprised she hadn't heard worse from me to date. She sure has since!

Heh, I was riding in my friend's car once when he got cut off in a parking lot. Not as in "he took out spot" but "he whipped in front of us at 40mph and almost caused a collision". Anyway, my friend blew his horn at the guy and that was that. We went into the store we were headed to and, when we came out, found that someone let the air out of all his tires.

I had the misfortune of running over a broken bolt, which was about 1.5" long with a large flat head and the other end sharp at the break. It caused a flat tire even through my thick SUV tires. The bolt is all rusted and hard to see on the ground. I save that bolt in my glove department just in case I run into any parking lot psychos like those that the above posters mentioned. 5 seconds of fake shoe tying and the rusty bolt is in place under the tire. With the karma of Murphy’s Law protecting me, I have not run into any parking lot psychos for 2 years now =).

Funny, I was thinking when DSD said he checked to be sure his car was perfectly in the spot that the SUV didn't push him around/out of it or something.

I drive a compact too. I worry about that the odd time when a bigass SUV is parked in front of me. "Look, monster truck rally!" -> pancake car.

You got it!

The staff bio says I'm a programmer here. What Illia doesn't realize is I haven't a freaking clue what I'm doing. I make mistakes like that in code all the time.

Just the other day I changed the cheese icon to a mouse. You should have seen the textual (is that a word?) flogged Exodus gave me! That was a good 20 hours trying to figure out how to fix that mess.
