Confronting reckless people at the parking lot

If I can't find any better parking slot, I park my car a little farther from the passenger side of the car next to me. (pero igigitna ko pa rin as much as possible)

Usually kasi yung mga pasahero ang mga walang pake kung ma-ding nila yung pintuan ng katabi nilang kotse eh. Hehehehe...

I agree; mga pasahero karamihan ang dumdale. On my side naman, I had set my passengers' doors sa kids lock. Ako na lang bumababa at nagbubukas.

hehehe...kapit bahay namin may MB slk..tinanong ko minsan kung bakit bihira niya ginagamit yung pulang slk niya...ayaw niya raw magasgas..:D di ko lang masabi na bumili siya ng truck at isampa niya yung slk niya sa truck para di magasgas..(matanda na kasi).

di talaga maiwasan yan..kung yung mga nasa loob na nga ng casa/warehouse eh..nagagasgas pa rin eh. may nakita na akong bagong bili ng E-Class sa CATS..napansin nila (owner) na may gasgas na. sabi nga sa akin nung may-ari buti na lang at di pa niya naiuuwi yung unit..tsk,tsk,tsk.

i totally agree with you guys who said we shouldn't react very hotly and risk getting hurt or killed over something stupid.

i told my friend (who broke the other guy's side mirror) that he was an idiot for doing that, considering that here in the US it seems like every week someone dies in a road rage incident)...but it's still a pretty funny story to tell ;)

Oh man... ang hirap siguro non for your passengers. :-)

Ako, I just let my passengers out before I park. Para hindi ma-offend, I make up an excuse such as "Tulungan niyo naman ako mag-park. Paki-direct ako."

[Jeepcruizerph]

ako ganon din bago ko pasok sa parking slot baba na mga passengers ko para di na sila maka gas gas pa...

...pero ako rin pala ang gasgas ng tabing car mwehehehe rrrrrr

[snyc3]

had my car scratch yest. yun passenger nun van who parked * myside went down and full swinged her door, tumama sa side nun mirror ko and as expected she signed her old L300 van on it. Sa inis ko i knocked on my window to let her know what she did, she just smiled. shoot! i don't want to open my window coz bka magmura lang me so what i did was when she passed in front of my car i HONKED her with my BUS type horn, nagulat konti pero dedma lang... stupid people, alam na masikip yun parking kung magbukas ng door akala walang katabi... good thing naremove yun paint by rubbing, kung nayupi yun bababa na me... hehehe... hirap tlaga!!!!!!

Dapat dito, instead of painting the parking slot boundaries, lagyan na lang ng metal railings eh. (Parang yung bus lane division sa Ayala Ave.)

Okay din sana if the mall parking would allocate a "car lover class" parking area where each slot would be wider, and door dings, bumper dings, etc. can be avoided. Then they could charge double, heck even triple rates -- okay lang... mas mura pa rin yon kesa mag pa PDR or repaint.

Customer base na nila yung mga nag-po-post sa thread na it. Hehehe...

isa lang solusyon dyan, hayaan nyo munang makaalis yung mga may ari ng sasakyan tapos buhusan nyo ng brake fluid yung hood ng kotse nila tapos parada ka sa ibang slot para pagdating nila kita nila yung art sa hood nila ... mwahahahaha ...

brake fluid acts like a paint remover. it will make auto paint bubble and peel

BUSINESS IDEA!!!!!

Let's make a new CAR-alarm + DEFENSE system.

A good car alarm should be sensitive enough to detect hits on the car body diba?

Why not rig up a device with the alarm that squirts brake fluid whenever the car gets hit. Hehehe...

Yun nga lang.. you'll run the risk of getting brake fluid on your paint as well....

wala pa ba nagsa-suggest ng paint stripper?
kung gusto nyo magpaiyak ng aroganteng driver, garantisado yan.
nung teenager ako, I used to carry an aerosol can with me. ngayon, kung gusto pasimple, lagay mo sa paintbrush then daan ka sa tabi ng kotse.

Good point to consider.




Pinaka-okay na parking area sa Podium. There are plenty of 'slots' na wala kang katabi. In fact, even if Megamall yung pupuntahan ko, doon na rin ako pumaparada sa Podium just to get the nice slots.

Yun nga lang... naiiirita tuloy sa akin ang mga pasahero ko dahil napapalayo sa entrance.

:-)

yep, tama. sa glorietta 4 basement parking too maraming slots.

[zippo]

asteeg ah.. hehe sadista...

[mk]

kun ako, papark na lang ako sa parallel parking para ndi magkaroon ng door dings....bad trip kasi yon sobra eh...

Last Sunday, I went to GB3 to relax and watch a movie.
As always, I chose my parking slot carefully. I found a nice slot next to a pillar. Sinagad ko yung driver's side ko sa tabi ng poste. This left enough allowance (3ft!!!) from my passenger side to the paint boundary. That means that if the person who parks next to me stays within his boundary, he can open his door fully without hitting my car.

Unfortunately, Murphy's Law decided to rule the day for me. A gunmetal civic decides to park next to me. As in NEXT to me. He ignored the parking slot paint boundary. Pwede na sana kung may ample space pa rin between his driver side and my passenger side. But NOOoooo.... halos dinikit na niya yung side view mirror niya sa side view mirror ko.

(See attached picture.)

Parang nananadya. :mad: Luckily, the driver was 'careful' enough not to hit my passenger side with his door.

What's more is that he car to his passenger side was properly parked within the boundary. Nagkaroon tuloy ng enough space to his passenger side and the other car to park a golf cart!

Sigh...

[mk]

haha loko talaga yan...natatae cguro hehe...
by the way honda city pala car mo?....nakakatakot yan a..because the doors are prone to door dings....wala kasing rubber yung gilid ng honda city eh...
atsaka out of topic.... grabe ang mahal ng parking sa greenbelt 3 a.... dati parang nag park yata ako mga 6 to 7 hours mga 80 php na....unlike sa rockwell which is flat rate ng 35 php...

[ess]

...or meron talagang golf cart na pumarada sa passenger side niya.

RE: prone to door dings
Yep. True. But so far, I'm lucky.

RE: Price of GB parking
Mahal nga. However, I think the price is okay if you are only going to stay for 2-3 hours... (enough for watching a movie and leaving..)

[Tifosi]

ess sana di mo na lang binura yung plaka:D Parang nananadya nga yan.

Bwiset nga yang parking sa GB3. One time gumimik kami, nagpark ako sa GB3, mga 7, tas labas namen mga 2, inabot ako ng P120!!! Galit na galit talaga ako nun. Kaya di na ko nagpapark for more than 3 hrs sa GB3, either sa GB1 ako or Park Square 2. Okay magpark sa Park Square 2 pag weekdays kasi pag after 5PM ka pumasok, P20 flat rate na (tas may free parking ako hehehe). May walkway naman eh so oks lang sa kin.
