What would YOU do?

[Ozones]

Say you're trying to park your car, but the spot is too tight. You notice there is someone in the car in front you, and that if he moved up a bit, you could fit into the spot. So you kindly walk up to him and ask him to lower his windows. He does.

You: "Sir, would you mind moving up a bit".
Guy in the car: "Why"?
You: "I'm trying to fit into a spot, but there's not enough room".
Guy in the car: "So? Just look for another spot".
You: "Sir, i would appreciate if you'd move up. It would be a big favor".
Guy in the car: Pauses for a second, seemingly thinking and says, "Hmmm, No".

I would think he was a douche, and I would go back to my car and look for another spot.

I would think "there is a real asshole"... people like that you can't really do anything about...

Unzip pants and start peeing through his window.

 

[cafe]

I would never ask someone to move unless it was the only parking spot left in the lot. Maybe not even then.

Edit: I feel like being unwilling to walk the length of a parking lot when needed is showing a lack of appreciation for my ability to do so.

 

[prplchknz]

think about waiting til he left and key his car

 

[five sounds]

In would first say something like "really? I mean it's really easy to do, and I'm already right here. Why not?"

If he was still a jerk about it I'd say "ok whatever" and probably give him a look of disbelief before I drove off.

I'd give him a dirty look and go find another spot.

 

[highlander]

I wouldn't have initiated the conversation to begin with. Not worth the effort. It would take less time to find another spot. More efficient.

 

[SD45T-2]

I would set myself on fire to draw attention to the injustice.

^^ That.

I'd also amuse myself in my head with all the forms of revenge I could take but won't, although it would look awesome in a movie.


... however, as some others have said, I might not have even engaged him in the first place. In the past, I wouldn't have; today it could go either way. If I didn't engage, I'd just be swearing in my car about the moron who can't park within a single parking space.

I'd help.

LMAO. Best answer.

i'd be the guy wondering why he didn't look for another spot in this...not the guy randomly disturbing people.

 

[PeaceBaby]

I suppose for me it would depend on the situation. How difficult is it to find a parking spot in the vicinity where I need to park? How urgent is the situation that I must park in this particular area? (Am I running late for something important? Someone in the hospital? That kind of urgent stuff.)

If it wasn't difficult or urgent, I would likely just find another spot without requesting the other person move their own vehicle. If it was difficult or urgent, I would kindly beg if they could please move their car and press upon their compassion to give a shit. I wouldn't hesitate to use female charm either if it was needed.

So, situational. Type under the avvy.

 

[Nicodemus]

What the brute said.

 

[skylights]

I can hear my boyfriend on this one already. "Contact parking!" (ie where you just hit the other cars)

If the other guy is taking up two spaces, I'd probably just get the phone number of the parking service and report him. If he's not taking up two spaces, then I'd just chalk it up to an unfortunate situation and him feeling like an asshole today and I'd go find a bigger spot. I could probably use the exercise of walking further anyway. If I were really in a hurry I might offer the guy a few bucks to move.

I wouldn't even approach him in the first place. I'd simply get another spot and be done with it even if it is far away. Not worth the hassel.

Though assuming I had to park there (such as an assigned spot), I'd explain the reasons in detail why I need to. If he still said no I'd tell him this is a matter of need amd I am sorry it is an intrusion to him but I am also intruded upon and I can't aolve it alone. If he still refused then I'd tell him "ok fine I am still parking here because I need to".

If the situation was entirely my own I would not even bother walking up to him.

However if I did that exactly, I'd feel a little hurt (as I turn away my head instantly and move along, perhaps too quickly I'll trip over my step) and move to another parking spot. (maybe as far away from him as possible)
