Washingtonian Center (Rio), Gaithersburg, MD Fri, May 4th, 2007

This was a multi-catch day.

These take place at the rear parking area behind and close to the Target at the Washingtonian Center (known locally as the Rio). The first shown above is a new Mustang that just did a poor job of parking. I returned and departed before this driver arrived back to his vehicle.

The second vehicle is "one of those" who thinks it's OK to take up two spaces in a crowded lot. Back in the day, I would do a number of things to inflict damage or inconvience to these driver. Now, I just keep it legal and post the idiots here. I'll let the rest of you tair 'em up, or whatever.

On a Friday, at this shopping center it is very crowded, with never enough parking, unless you assend to the upper level of the stacked parking garage. But this truck didn't feel the need to bother, but did manage to be selfish and inconsiderate. Again, I had to depart before this driver returned.

Gaithersburg, MD Sat, April 28th, 2007

At the Office Depot on Shady Grove Road, near HomeDepot/Best Buy. This was a very exciting capture. First of all, this was practically a double whammy. The Subaru on the left was also over a little too far (may be noticable in the bottom picture to the left), however not enough to warrant submission to the site. However, the SUV on the right was clearily disregarding the parking lines. It too may not have made the blog, except that the driver and some other person were there standing.

After returning from my shopping, they asked why I took a picture of the vehicle. I replied (as I often do) with a very non-confrontational

"To put on my website of bad drivers and parking."

She apparently didn't hear me completely or didn't understand, be she again asked my I took the pictures. I gave the same response. We immediately she got angry (no suprise). She actually tried to justify her parking as perfectly acceptible. I huffed at that response and so she began saying insulting comments. I replied with a few minor insults of my own, as I began to enter my vehicle. The Other female was more fawl mouthed, and so, seeing possible additional content, I whipped out the video camera and began filming. Of course this really upset them and they kept saying they were going to call the police, and picked-up the cell phones. I explained that the law allows me to film anything in the General Public, and hence I could photograph, film, etc. as I pleased, since it was not of a personal nature.

I drove away after aquiring a few minutes of additional video (which will be posted later), and now bring the pictures and story to you.

Oh, BTW, that's a Proffessional Fire Fighter's Tag. I dought that overweight old hag was a firefighter.
