a-hole encounter at santana row's parking lot

BMW F22 · 06-25-2023, 07:55 PM

Sometimes you just run into assholes. My uncle’s friend was following us to Santana Row. He signaled into the parking lot but stopped short before it to let my uncle and his little kid out (who was sleeping in the backseat). The a-hole went around and took his parking spot. When confronted and told he was wrong, the guy started recording his friend; intent was probably to post on TikTok and play victim. Lol unbelievable…I made sure to record for our own version of the story. Such people deserve to be called out.

There is no point in trying to correct these people. Most of them are on SSRIs and one episode away from a mass killing.

No way I'd take that spot with that (Acura?) so far over.

Posting in an internet forum about a parking space. Lol

My first thought too. Door dingaling karma

How do people do those things and not worry about their car getting keyed? I would be super paranoid if I were that guy.

I’m not able to post video, but in the one we recorded the guy was all smiling and his lady in the car too. It amazes me how people can be that way.

Chicago sunroof should resolve the guy’s smile.

I had to do the same

And if they don't have a sunroof, I guess it's called a 'Jersey windshield'?

Upon googling, I learned something about my home state. New Jersey law does not clearly state that a windshield is required on motor vehicles.

Better Call Saul was what first popped into my head at the mention of Chicago Sunroof. Classic

I've watched all seasons and still had to Google it.

Signaled into the lot or into the spot? There's a big difference.

Also depends on how long he waited before pulling in...if >30 seconds he loses that spot even with the blinker on

People are crazy in cars. Reminds me of Goofy's short cartoon.

By the picture, OP meant parking spot not lot but he can confirm. If you put your turn signal on to claim spot but stop to obviously let people out, you shouldn’t lose the spot in 30 seconds.

Spot on. One must be such a dick to take someone’s parking spot like that, especially with a blinker on.
