I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

[Mr. Chevy]

It all boils down to common courtesy!! There are some shows and cruises that do not want people saving spots. I respect that and do not do it or we all arrive together and park together. In my opinion when a chair, cone, cooler or whatever is placed in the parking spot it is personal property and should be left alone, hands off!! Unless the owner of the business or parking lot moves it or tells you to what authority does some jack a$$ have just because "he doesn't like it". Guess what TOO BAD!!!!

Is it getting to the point where someone wants the spot my car is in, Oh now I should just move to another spot because they want my spot?? &quot;Oh, I'm sorry sir you arrived an hour after I did and you like my spot, I'll just move my car for you&quot;... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

I know I should have jumped up and said something right of way but it might have gotten physical at that point and I was trying to cool myself down. To me that is not worth it. I have seen this crap happen way too often in the past couple years not only to me but others and just blew a gasket!! I have been going to cruises and shows for a long time and can't remember people being so bold and rude as they are now. I did give this jerk a good tongue lashing!! I doubt he will pull a stunt like that again.

As to the guys who don't like the spots being saved, what is the big deal? The only trouble I see with it is if the parking lot is getting very crowded and the spots are still saved that is rude and common sense should prevail and the spots should be let go. That pisses me off when people do that. To me that is NOT common courtesy. The people who the spots are being saved for should get themselves at the function at a reasonable time, don't come or find another parking space. I do feel strongly about that.

Yesterday when I arrived at the cruise at 3:25 PM there were a ton of parking spots to park in other than the back row by the shade. These guys could have parked in other spots and brought their chairs over to the shade. I have seen people do that and their car is still within eye sight if you are watching it for &quot;touchy feely&quot; people which brings up another whole topic that pisses me off!! If the parking spots in the back row had been all taken that is what I would have done, not just take it upon myself to move someone's property because &quot;I&quot; want to park there. There were many spots in this back row already being saved by other guys when I arrived.

The other thing is , if you don't like it get there early and park where you want!! Nobody says you can't do that...

Just my .02 for what it's worth.... I'm not trying to piss anyone off here on the site, I just feel pretty strongly about these issues and I know in the grand scheme of things it is &quot;small potatoes&quot; and there are bigger and worse problems out there to worry about..
