Human nature and automobile parking

I'm sure you can figure that one out. Don't talk to me about family problems like i haven't had my fair share. I am 17, last time i saw my dad was when i was 4. He was an alcoholic after he went AWOL when he came back from being in the gulf war. He was in jail for the most of his life after that, he died from being a drug and alcohol abuser almost 3 years ago. You have no idea what it's like to never have any memories of your father and to look over him in his casket when he was only 40. People were coming up to me saying how much of a good guy he really was and how much i look and act like him. Trust me, it sucks. My mom dumped me off around 2 1/2, she wanted nothing to do with me because "she was too young". I lived at my grandmothers house pretty much my whole life, as i was growing up my mom would come over and if i said one wrong thing she would beat me, nobody would do anything about it. Nothing was ever given to me and i had to work hard for things. I can tell you, there's things that happened to me during my childhood that left me to think that i had no other rout other then suicide, I'm past that now though. So please, do NOT tell me that i am making assumptions on things that i have no idea about.

You just agreed with him. Yeah maybe you thought of it but you got past it... That was his point.

Edit:.... what does this have to do with parking lol???

If you have a job, a car, food on the table, and a roof over your head you're not in a struggle... People think they are because someone else has better stuff than they do. They can't be just gifted into their $250k a year dream job, and that lottery habit just hasn't seemed to pay off shit.

Most people don't give a shit about anyone else but themselves and their immediate family. They don't give a shit about you, your car, or the fact they just cut you in line. Their attitude is its just a car, nice or not, and you can see it at all levels of income. I can't tell you how many luxury cars I see with interiors dirty as heck, scratches all over them, etc. Its the way this country is, and its only getting worse.

Yes i agree that the people in africa and afghanistan have it worse, but in reality majority of the people over here don't think or care about them. They are more worried about their own problems. And face it, the way the economy is now, most American's have a reason to worry. The American standard of living has been nice for the past years and everyone is use to it. Then when all of a sudden that is taken away due to loss of jobs, people go hysterical. They are too use to the way things have been to all of a sudden have to sell most of their beloved things just to have food.

People have became alcoholics, gamblers, drug dealers, and suicidal (I'm sure there is more) because of financial problems. Money is the key to life really. You can't enjoy much when you have nothing and leads to depression. And when you have everything, you get bored which can also lead to depression. So the best thing to do i guess is to be right in the middle?

by the way, there was no point or side to this post. I was pretty much putting out a bunch of ideas, or more like comments about this situation America is in. But, it's the wrong place to be doing so i guess.

No i was responding to his part about him saying i should keep my comments to myself because i know nothing of this matter. The only reason I'm still here i guess is because I'm strong willed.

And yes, the posts have been very off topic and i do apologize. I just have a problem with ignorant people.

Back on topic, if you are worried about something happening to your car in a parking lot then just don't park your car there.

Also, if a mod can read this please delete my other posts. They are not necessary in this thread and neither is the other guys about his life story and so i do apologize once more.

OMG! You said a mouthful there. I concur! Can't stand this.

I never knew parking was so philosophical!

We also have an old bank teller building with the covered lanes but it is 2 blocks away from my office door, so I choose to park there and walk every day to avoid being dinged and scratched in the other derby lot.

Here you go............

Yeah but there was a proliferation of people parked like assholes way before the economic meltdown. All people care about is themselves, no matter the time.

Hell I grew up in one of the most ****ed up familys. We had no money, dad had to sell his 81 turbo TA for 3g because my mom wanted custody of me even though she was a drugged up, alcoholic discrace. But even after that the bill came to 21 grand for court. For what? Oh yeah we had to live from shithole to shithole for years because of the problems my old man got out of it, drugs, gamballing, psycotic girlfriends that come summersulting through windows to heel drop your doornob off to go stab your father. So yeah before you make assumptions that you have no idea about. Maybe you should tell your american families to man up. One of the reasons I have very little interest in my family is because their so ****ing petty and useless. (I could give more examples of this) Be happy that your alive and not giving orders by blowing into a tube.

My dad told me, everything material is replacable and we will do better one day. And hey, things get better.

Suicidal? Screw the quitters.

Been there,Just because your childhood was aFU****g mess dosent mean you have to be a fuc***g mess as an adult!!!!

I'ts the peiople that don't care anything about anyone else but themselves that are the problem.. you see it not only in parking but everyday driving situations.. the same ones that don't park worth a crap are the ones that don't care anything about any traffic laws.. IE Running stop signs, going the wrong way down one way streets so they don't have to circle the block.. going in the exit of a parking lot. etc... It's they just don't care if you need room to get in your car.. as long as they have room...Oh and they also are the ones that will leave buggys sitting all over the parking lot and let them rol linto your car...

Came out of walmart the other day 3 buggys were left around our car, one was left right behind it...
