OT: So does this mean you didn't like my parking?

[Gayle]

So it is Sunday morning--went to Target--took the F150. After making my purchases, I return to the bronze behemoth and think:

"Gosh, I did a crappy job of parking. Just look how much the tail is over into the next space. But that next space is 1.5 spaces wide and the car that was there is gone, so I guess it is all good."

Get home and find this on the passanger's side window.

I am cracking up. Drag hubby out to see. Then I am even more amused by the thought of how upset the person who did this would be over the fact that I am not upset by it.

Hubby says: "To put this in perspective--think how you would feel if that had been Charlie (the 535)." Alright--that would not be so funny.

But I am still hung up on one thing--what is that? As a girl, I am just not an expert on all matters related to elimination/expulsion from the body. Can you guys help me out?

[Jay 535i]

No, I can't help you out. Whoever did that is a complete fool, and you've got the right attitude by laughing it off.

I wonder if this, in any way, could pass for vandalism. If so, you could go back to Target and ask them to use the security tapes to ID the guy, then have the cops pay him a visit. That'd be too sweet. :)

At least it washes off. If he'd keyed you, that'd be asking for vengeful wrath.

What's more chickenshit than ****ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle.

rent the movie aliens, it is what the aliens seacret from their bodies, watch out for eggs and perhaps a face hugger hiding under the bonnet for an unsuspecting host to open the bonnet..
There is another possibility, it may be an aloe vera moisturiser to sooth a condition called "red neck" predominant in rural areas of the United states. :p

Ezekiel 25:17:
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."


Even though it's not actually in the bible....

technically what is a "loogie?" i mean... its a bit of phlegm and some spit... so i would vote for that.

I have seen many things that birds have left on my cars over the years and this is not bird stuff.

And I am not even pissed at the person who left me this. It has been a good laugh.

And by the way--great word. I love it when I am forced to go to the dictionary. Thanks.

[calmloki]

Damn - had to check with Webster's New International - while I used the word correctly with the original root sense of "flowing out" I need to adjust how I use it. Seems it would be more properly applied to, for instance, gasses. Someone used fungible on me the other day - now THAT'S not a word that I ever use!

You get a bonus point if you use it as an adjective :p

And I thought American car parks catered for large trucks like yours - I thought it was only here in Oz that I needed to occupy 2 spaces every time I park my F 250. :D

In California the parking spaces are much smaller than they are in other states. There are too many of us here and they try to cope will all of us by making the spaces smaller. Californians love travelling by car instead of public transportation which is practically non existent compared to other major metro areas in the US.

It is the tiny parking spaces that drove me to the e34. The truck is a royal pain in parking garages. My e30 convertible had doors a mile long and a really low and forward seat that made it difficult to get in and out of in parking spaces. My ownership of the e34 and participation here is all due to tiny parking spaces. :D

[liquidtiger720]

Ok. I don't think he did it in anger...instead...he did this to your car

Sorry andy...if you ever find this.

BTW Gayle: Im doing managerial actg this semester. :)

[winfred]

that's one thing i like about my truck i get my moneys worth out of a parking space, it doesn't quite hit the paint on all 3 sides but i can't park next to somebody who didn't center their car and is hogging up my line, i find it amazing how i can fit the beast into and out of my spot usually without changing direction or swapping paint yet it takes others 3-4 trys to get a compact on/out of the same sized hole, and they are all cockeyed in the spot.

i suspect it's spit on the window and not spooge :D

I know what you mean about convertibles ! I hired a Volvo C70 over Easter a few years ago when I was up in Brisbane - talk about impossible to get in and out of ! "She who must be obeyed" had an E46 4 door and loved it !

That experience cured me of ever wanting to own a convertible !

Get a Lamborghini Countach, Diablo or Murcielago to solve your opening-the-door-in-tight-parking-spaces-problem.

Sheesh, talk about an obvious answer. ;)

I've seen bird crap like that.

When you hear hoofbeats, you think horses, not zebras.

Really?

I am not sure if the picture captures the clear, crystalline nature of the speciman.

And just so you know it is not a dumb brunette thing, I told my husband about the last person who suggested it was a bird. His response:

Naaaaaaaa

this.....A happy ending

There's not too much to a sparrow crap. How do I know this? Because I unhooked a sparrow's neck from a fence last year (his neck was caught in a 'V' and he couldn't fly forward or up, thus was stuck), and his Thank-You for my assistance was a "present" in the hand I used to lift him up.

I awoke Monday morning to some sort of red sauce on my car. Oddly enough, it smelled exactly like what I use to marinate steaks. Part of a plastic container was on the gound next to my car. That was interesting, going to class and telling people that I had to wash the sauce off of my car, and it's why I'm late. Neighbors had a party across the street, I can only assume some teenage bastard is responsible. Man I love renting..........

I have been keeping my husband posted on people's comments on this thread. He keeps coming back to one point--while it is unfortunate that people feel compelled to leave nasty gunk on cars, it beats getting keyed. Hard to argue with that one, isn't it.

And I personally appreciated that the mystery sause was on the glass in my case. A couple of years ago there was a stage during which our vehicles were repeated egged. (We suspected the renters 3 doors down who didn't like us because we didn't like their drunken parties in the park across the street.) There was one spot on the truck that I over-looked the egg (blended too well with the bronze color) and I didn't get it off quickly enough. Now the paint there is not quite the same as the rest of the finish. You were smart to go straight to the carwash (or the hose in the driveway).

I've seen birds come under sudden hawk attack and you know, the phrase "shittin and gitttin" is right on the money - with a nice dose of fear the birds lighten their load, deploy chaff, and get a Newtonian boost of acceleration all in one squirt!

you think I should find another place to park?

wow, talk about getting shitted on.

[tdgard]

I dunno--but me thinks you might have deserved it.;) Every time she who must be obeyed leaves the car with the tail hanging funny I ask "Are you really going to park like this?" I hate having to skinny my beer pooch up to get out of the car because the person next to me parked on or over the line-though I would not leave fluids to show my displeasure.

I don't disagree. I am the first to say it was a crappy parking job. But the person did have tons of room as it was the end of the row and they had an extra big space.

Wholly ****!
