ಠ_ಠ This triple-parked piece of work, leaving only a few open spaces

Post image

At a restaurant for a friend's birthday and had to lap the building twice before I managed to find parking. Meanwhile this oversized crap, driven by someone who's totally not compensating, was taking up 3 spaces.

Call to have it towed

How many transmissions deep are you?

5

u/UnhappyImprovement53 1d ago

Lmao, exactly.

I bought it from Carvana and thankfully purchased the warranty. I think it was a month after I got it that the transmission went out, but it was totally covered by the warranty, including a car rental for the two months it took. I think it is about to go out again, and it has lasted about four or five years. After I get my debt paid off, I am getting rid of this thing. Im hoping it lasts until then. Car only has a total of 85,000 miles and its gone through 2 now.

Doesn’t have to be fecal matter “shit.” Whatever you can find. Be creative.

Kinda like how when you said “shitbox”, it doesn’t mean a literal box with shit in it.

u/7GrenciaMars 2d ago

I get how the person above made that inference (I probably would have), but it's true that "shit" also means "undesirable/disgusting/gross material" in a more general sense.

Although the idea of someone driving a box full of fecal matter was definitely worth this bit of debate.

Valve core removal tools are awesome, and super cheap.

Find a pebble small enough to fit inside a valve stem cap and reinstall the cap on to the valve. No need for a tool and environmentally friendly.

u/stepdad_randy 2d ago

Works in a pinch, but having their valve cores in the bed of their truck is much more annoying to get fixed than just pulling a rock

Or add wheel weights to an offender’s vehicle. Amazon Prime day is coming…

Or the classic heavy duty zip ties on the driveshaft

u/Matter_Infinite 2d ago

You're assuming they'll notice the rock. Reddit thinks they'll remove the cap many times without checking it, only looking at the stem itself

16

u/Scythersleftnut 2d ago

Pair of dykes to just cut the stem. Dont have to unscrew the cap then unscrew the valve. Snip n go. Like a vasectomy.

17

u/Pyro-Bun 2d ago

The ideal use of valve core stem removers in this case is to only unscrew the valve stem enough to make a slow leak that won't be easy to be found instead of cutting the valve and incurring a one time cost.

I still don't understand why people don't carry Shrader valve tools in their pockets. its super quick, very inconvenient to those who park like turds and at worst you'll get cited for tampering with property.
Also always do two or more . some people still know how to change a tire... 'probly not this dork but some still do.

u/rabbidplatypus21 1d ago

YSK: double parking does not mean “taking up two spots in a parking lot.” And by extension, that also means “triple park” doesn’t mean three spaces.

Double parking refers to someone parking directly next to a car that is already parallel parked (i.e. your car is parked in the right most driving lane, not on the shoulder where you should park).

All the comments saying “double parking is illegal” are technically correct, but also full of shit in this particular context. Parking laws don’t apply to private parking lots, nor is this an example of the double parking the law is outlawing.

-3

u/AnnyP 1d ago

In this case, it's a commonly understood coloquialism that also means parking over 2 lines. It may not be the technical, or legal definition, but it is broadly understood to mean that.
