As annoying as this was, I did get to live out one of my petty fantasies: I had grabbed a coloring sheet for my toddler with some crayons, so I left a nice little note telling this guy that he could now practice staying inside the lines.

Should have just moved the car since it was on

[–] allyougottadois@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This. I would have re-parked it in a parking lot across the street.

IANAL, but I think this is technically grand theft auto. Yeah, the owner is a jackass, but don't do this.

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It is not. Theft requires intent to permanently deprive. It is, however, joyriding and most states have a statute against that.

Whatever it is, I'm not risking it. I'm going to leave a passive aggressive note instead of possibly committing major crime.

Who's got time to play video games when there's a car to move

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just take the keys out and leave them somewhere fun. Like inside the car but out of sight. Or on the base of a parking lot light.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, you want them to see the keys. Put them on the seat where they are clearly visible then lock and close the door.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

I like your idea much more.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Park it in a handicap spot then call the police

That the name of the magazine!

I recently bought a new car for the first time in a lot of years. It has a lot of features that seem a little silly. The one that seemed the silliest is that you can start it and pull it forward or backward from outside with the key fob. I couldn't figure out why I'd want to do that, until I realized it would be perfect for this situation.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's pretty cool. Mind sharing what make/model?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It's the 2023 Hyundai Sonata hybrid. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the car.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shitty parking job and leaving the car running. My man was probably fighting for his life not to shit his pants and get to a restroom ASAP.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I fucking hate when people leave their cars running when they park them, just for the fucking A/C. Whenever I see this, I turn off the engine and leave then a nice note along the lines of, "hey buddy, you accidentally left your car running, so I took care of that for you :)"

Fucking bitches; if I can handle two minutes of heat while my car cools down, you can too. Quit wasting gas and money.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And park them in front of the entrance like they are robbing a bank.

Lmao I just noticed the logos after reading your comment.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like the space in front of it is open, just drive it 10 feet forward and out of your life.

Is that Texas and Proud to be an American?

[–] Askingforafriend@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Those are the cars I park really close to or "accidentally" kick the doors of.

[–] InevitableCriticism@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That looks like the H‑E‑B I shop at and a lot of people in big trucks and SUVs park like assholes and leave their vehicles on there. I have to deal with that shit almost every week.
