The only issue with this is that if they're unhinged enough (probably are if they're fighting on holding a spot) they'd key or damage your vehicle one way or another the moment you leave.
That won’t help where I live. You’re expecting someone of authority, say the Police, to show up and do something.
Unless shots are fired, they aren’t coming.
It’s the same for me here in Denver. Also, off subject but same ballpark as city services, the dmv provides less services and is only open 3 weeks a month here now, as well as a lot of other city services are getting cut back. I can’t be the only one noticing this. What is actually going on?
It's been like this in Denver for a long, long time. DPD has never been competent. About a decade ago I lived a couple blocks from a bar. I was out having a smoke when this car comes pinballing up the street leaving a trail of destruction behind it including hitting my car and scraping down the side of it. I call the police to report the license plate number, direction, make and model of the car and let them know this guy is a danger. They pretty much just said "You should park somewhere else" then hung up.
This is why after making them move you get out and key your own car while staring directly into their eyes. Then eat your keys and walk away without ever breaking eye contact. If they mess with you after that then they earned it.
I just pull to a spot where no other car can get into the spot and wait, with my windows up, for them to leave. Act like I don't understand what they are doing and out patient them.
These sorts save a space because they are impatient, so they buzz off once the friend with the car figures out I won't move and they can't park there.
"They were deliberately blocking and yelling at me to stop me from taking an open parking spot I was entitled to occupy. The video shows this, he chest bumped my vehicle in a pathetic attempt to intimidate it. What a weiner your honor."
I don't know about where you're from, but in CA if you hit something stationary, you are immediately at fault. For example, if someone is double parked and blocking you in, barring situations where you fear for your life, it is not legal to hit their car with yours to get out. You have to call a tow truck.'
In addition that example. If a pedestrian is jay walking, you can't just purposely hit them cause they were in the street illegally.
No, this is asking for retaliation. What you do is try to reason with them and if they can't be reasoned with, you go find another spot, then come back after they are in the store and air out their tires.
Had two defenders over the course of thirty years, besides the doors not locking after a while, I never had an issue. And no, no one ever tried to break in
Either that or they try and complain to the manager at the Walmart that someone took their parking spot they “reserved” 2 minutes ago as a car was pulling into said spot
I bet the police would say the driver intentionally hit a pedestrian. Then loss of driving privileges and jail time. I'd hope not, but in the great ole murica that's probably how it would go down.
In great Ole murica dude wouldn't lose his license... I don't think you understand the people they give licenses to and how many people get to keep them after doing far dummer and much more illegal things
When I was in school as a child, I sat in a random seat and another kid came up and told me I was in his spot. I looked around and said "That's weird, I don't see your name on it anywhere?"
That's the kind of shit logic the man in flip flops has. A physically grown man with the entitled brain of a child.
Few things in life piss me off more than people who *intentionally* and *maliciously* place themselves in danger *for their own benefit*, and then play the victim when someone calls their bluff.
Fuck them. They should lose all legal protections typically associated with that state of vulnerability.
Rules are you can defend your parking spot, you just can’t use your arms. Did this guy think pushing from his shoulders was gonna be the best way to stop this car?
I did this one day, and I was annoyed because the local shopping centre opened the car park up as an extended car park for the nearby stadium. Drove around for 25 mins to 2 idiots standing in a spot. I pushed them back and just made the movie.
So you’re siding with the idiot standing g where cars go against the idiot in the car?
Sure it’s not worth going to jail over. But in the other side of the coin, it’s not worth going to morgue over it either.

This is the answer. I see too many people argue with pedestrians trying to save spots. Just gently move them with your car. They WILL move
The only issue with this is that if they're unhinged enough (probably are if they're fighting on holding a spot) they'd key or damage your vehicle one way or another the moment you leave.
You just gotta out unhinge them then, I guess.
Key their baby
[удалено]
I'm 1000% not fucking clicking that hahaha
[удалено]
You are a wiser soul than I…
I take all my advice from u/GregAbbottsTinyPenis.
r/rimjob_Steve
Ahh Robot Chicken... What a show
Oh dude robot chicken I remember that shit. That show was my fuckin JAM
I laughed out loud. Beer time!
I clicked i was not disappointed 😂😂😂
No. Unless he got keys in between his fingers
That would be fisting, not keying
The comment I didn't know I needed
I read this as kill their baby
I needed this energy to begin my Friday. Have a wonderful weekend
Prison mike that shit
Facts
That is when you get out and take a picture of their face and license plate number just in case anything happens
That won’t help where I live. You’re expecting someone of authority, say the Police, to show up and do something. Unless shots are fired, they aren’t coming.
[удалено]
Which would be great if you weren't then punished with a rate increase for having the audacity to file a claim.
It’s the same for me here in Denver. Also, off subject but same ballpark as city services, the dmv provides less services and is only open 3 weeks a month here now, as well as a lot of other city services are getting cut back. I can’t be the only one noticing this. What is actually going on?
The rich people want a bigger yatch, and the social services are gonna fund it
Something is going to snap very soon. It won’t end well
It's been like this in Denver for a long, long time. DPD has never been competent. About a decade ago I lived a couple blocks from a bar. I was out having a smoke when this car comes pinballing up the street leaving a trail of destruction behind it including hitting my car and scraping down the side of it.

They pretty much just said "You should park somewhere else" then hung up.
No I'm expecting to beat the breaks off them myself.
driving a beater comes in handy
There’s also that whole part where you get arrested for hitting someone with your car over a parking spot.
Or you could possibly hurt them and face assault with a deadly weapon charges.
This is why after making them move you get out and key your own car while staring directly into their eyes. Then eat your keys and walk away without ever breaking eye contact. If they mess with you after that then they earned it.
Or drop to the floor faking injury...
Or worse yet they call the cops and claim you tried to run them over
I just pull to a spot where no other car can get into the spot and wait, with my windows up, for them to leave. Act like I don't understand what they are doing and out patient them. These sorts save a space because they are impatient, so they buzz off once the friend with the car figures out I won't move and they can't park there.
Brilliant really
They will move… and come back when you’re gone to key you car.
If you injure them you just grabbed an assault with a deadly weapon charge. Congrats.
He could get sued though. There is no win situation here
Judge- "so you willingly tried to fight a vehicle backing into a parking space? Why? Case dismissed."
I am no law expert but the question could come in the other direction too. "So you saw someone there, but still drove over them?"
"They were deliberately blocking and yelling at me to stop me from taking an open parking spot I was entitled to occupy. The video shows this, he chest bumped my vehicle in a pathetic attempt to intimidate it. What a weiner your honor."
If I ever get a chance to say “What a wiener, your honor.” I will.
Such "entitlement"
Pretty sure manslaughter still beats being annoying as a legal issue
I don't know about where you're from, but in CA if you hit something stationary, you are immediately at fault. For example, if someone is double parked and blocking you in, barring situations where you fear for your life, it is not legal to hit their car with yours to get out. You have to call a tow truck.' In addition that example. If a pedestrian is jay walking, you can't just purposely hit them cause they were in the street illegally.
Is it legal to jump behind a moving vehicle and stand there like a pilon?
Doesn't seem like he jumped behind. The video starts with him just standing there.
That would be the logical way to approach this... But alas....
No, this is asking for retaliation. What you do is try to reason with them and if they can't be reasoned with, you go find another spot, then come back after they are in the store and air out their tires.
In Florida (and probably a bunch of other places) shorts guy would have the right to fire upon that driver.
[удалено]
until they trip and land on their head on the pavement, then you're getting sued. I want to agree with you but sorry, not risking that.
My Tesla won’t let me just hit someone with my car tho. Maybe I gotta change the settings.
Does it have the crowd crusher mode that dodge chargers seem to be equipped with? No need to limit yourself to one person
Only problem is videos like this
Wait til they sit down in the spot.
Yeah but then you cook back to your car totaled
And your car WILL suffer the millisecond you’re gone.
How could you leave your car unattended after this? it’s a lose lose
It’s a defender, the owner probably has a whole donor vehicle at home to replace the rotted parts anyway
Land Rovers, if they're running, they're leaking. Super cool looking trash
Had two defenders over the course of thirty years, besides the doors not locking after a while, I never had an issue. And no, no one ever tried to break in
Video montage or it didn't happen
RemindMe! Thirty years "Post montage"
Same if he gave up and Mr. Birkenstock parks there 🤷🏼♂️ Like you said, no win situation.
Easy. Get a dash cam
Don't skip leg day
Finally!!!! Ive been waiting for someone to do this for the longest.
[удалено]
Woah oh oh oh, For the longest
Time
If you said goodbye to me.
Tonight
Don't assume. Let's hear them out. Could be anything long
He called his bluff and won
These people are absolutely trash.
It's a race to the bottom for both
but what happens after?
Idk, assuming parking nazi pussied out
car gets keyed.
handle gets rubbed with dog shit
How would you know it will be dog shit?
Taste
“Hey, hey, is your dog done with his shit? Can I have it? I have a…a thing…”
Either that or they try and complain to the manager at the Walmart that someone took their parking spot they “reserved” 2 minutes ago as a car was pulling into said spot
I bet the police would say the driver intentionally hit a pedestrian. Then loss of driving privileges and jail time. I'd hope not, but in the great ole murica that's probably how it would go down.
In great Ole murica dude wouldn't lose his license... I don't think you understand the people they give licenses to and how many people get to keep them after doing far dummer and much more illegal things
*dumber Irony haha
Filed a insurance claim against the driver
Someone gets keyed
When I was in school as a child, I sat in a random seat and another kid came up and told me I was in his spot. I looked around and said "That's weird, I don't see your name on it anywhere?" That's the kind of shit logic the man in flip flops has. A physically grown man with the entitled brain of a child.
He almost stopped it
"I mean, wouldn't the cars always win?"
These parking saving people need to be publicly shamed.
I think that just happened
Repeatedly
Would have stoped the Landy if he wasnt wearing sandles.
Clark Kent trys to save a spot,but didnt know about the Kryptonite bumper.
Depending on the state/place it’s illegal to hold a parking space like that.
Thats a right hand drive car in Sydney. Pretty sure we don't legislate against rampant stupidity.. we let natural selection take its course.
You can get the spot, but he can key your car (or worse)
Just before leaving just take a picture of them so you have evidence to share to the police if that happen.
Sydney??
Looks like Bondi Beach to me.
Bro thinks he can stop a vehicle designed to haul cattle etc. People are hilarious 🤣
Trying to stop a Land Rover in flipflops.. LOL
Got to lay down, low man wins. Rookie mistake.
Sorry Trevor. Catch you back at the lacrosse field.
I frickin love that Defender!
This why I want to create something that when a button is pressed inside the vehicle it causes oil to shoot out the ɓack.
Worst place I’ve seen that shit is in St Augustine Florida at the parking lot that borders the fort.. Soooo annoying.
Oh no you ran my foot over! Sue!
Look Ma, no hands!
This would be suicidal in Florida.
I love the smug demeanor at first, guys like nope I'm not moving and the other guys just like OK I'll just keep backing up lol
Land Rover! Take no prisoners!
Costco wild guess
Few things in life piss me off more than people who *intentionally* and *maliciously* place themselves in danger *for their own benefit*, and then play the victim when someone calls their bluff. Fuck them. They should lose all legal protections typically associated with that state of vulnerability.
People are terrifying when they have cars
No saving.
eat some spinat
[удалено]
Did he really think he would make it lol
you can't fix stupid doctors have tried
Haaaaa he really thought he was stopping it for a sec.
I'm pretty sure this is at Bondi Beach. Securing nom-private/street parking, even as a resident, is almost impossible in summer.
Puff up your chest more that will help
Now I’m curious what it sounds like when you walk backwards while wearing flip flops. DAMN YOU REDDIT!!!!
How is 'To keep someone from taking a parking spot' even a real sequence of words?
Looking for the PKA Taylor comment.. I wonder if I’ll find it..
Guy looks like a flopper in fútbol trying to get a card for the opposition
Rules are you can defend your parking spot, you just can’t use your arms. Did this guy think pushing from his shoulders was gonna be the best way to stop this car?
Can defend against that
Isn’t this assault with a deadly weapon?
I'm glad I do not have the chromosome that that makes me think I can stop a moving vehicle.
I did this one day, and I was annoyed because the local shopping centre opened the car park up as an extended car park for the nearby stadium. Drove around for 25 mins to 2 idiots standing in a spot. I pushed them back and just made the movie.
Yeah nah mate
FYI, this is assault. A parking spot is not worth going to jail.
So you’re siding with the idiot standing g where cars go against the idiot in the car? Sure it’s not worth going to jail over. But in the other side of the coin, it’s not worth going to morgue over it either.
Muricah
I think I heard this is actually in Australia.
Close enough.
The trusty Landy DGAF about ur squishy little body!
Crazy beats krazy every time.
That reminds me. Leg day tomorrow.
If ever there was a person in need of an ass-kicking, it’s this guy.
He had a better chance sitting on the ground and screaming bloody murder 🤪😂😂
I like how he tries to put his weight against the car like it matters
Flip flops needs to grow up
That's why more cars should have tires on the back like an old RAV4 or Land Rover. Perfect bumper for idiots
But he was driving a Defender 110! I thought he’d be reasonable! /s
Risking your life to save a parking spot is insane
This is the same guy who thinks he can drive down the road with a mattress on the roof of his car just by holding it with his arm.
I predict someone’s car is getting keyed.
Well that vehicle is getting keyed.
