rant: Park spot encroachment

[TimeForGuinness]

Movie theater seat encroachment is the worst...it's like, c'mon yo...there's the whole rest of the theater.

Especially when you're watching a porno.

I mean I appreciate the help...but don't act like you run the joint...have some tact

I had been enjoying a nice afternoon in central park on a shady rock about thirty feet from anyone else. Great day.

Until this boisterous English family planted themselves about five feet away fifteen minutes ago. There are many spots all over and you have to invade my rock? This encroachment will not stand.

Toothpaste is a great English repellent.

The worst is being in the middle seat in coach, and both sides have decided that they own the armrests. Seriously? You each have another armrest, plus either a window to lean against or an aisle to lean over. I have nothing but these armrests. Do not take them both from me.

In the parking spot arena, last week somebody parked so close that my door only opened 6". I had to get in on the passenger side.

this isn't directly related but it is irritating me.

A white mini van, for the last three weeks has been parked on the court side of my house (drive way is on the street side but the larger part of the house faces the court). It will sit there, where we put our garbage can for pick up - for 4-5 days on end. Then it will go away for 1 or 2, then come back. For the last 3 weeks.

I am getting tempted to leave a sign on the windshield asking that they AT LEAST stop parking their on trash day but also consider varying where they park, specifically including parking in front of whoever's house they are visiting.

It is a petty thing to get irritated about, but it's been 3 weeks and they have IL license plates.

I've found that we're a little more protective/defensive about personal space than people from most other countries. They probably didn't think anything of it.

The worst for me is standing in line, and having someone right up on me.

I want them to think about it!

I think my racist neighbors got me possessive of my street space. They have tons of people over and park along my home's curb instead of theirs, and sometimes the racist father in law parks IN MY [expletive] DRIVEWAY. And he smokes a lot of pot, which I am not against, but I don't need to get busted because some 60 year old creepy pot head parked on MY property instead of his son's.

doc, when 60 year old creepy pot head parks in your driveway you need to block your driveway w/your car then disappear for a few days

Don't even get me started on the British. But sigh is right, use toothpaste. They run away like the wind at the site of that stuff.

Middle seat gets both armrests, thems the rules.

Right? It's in the [expletive] Geneva Convention.
