Ya Jagoff!!! Parking Tickets


This Week It’s 2 “Prependicular” Peter Parkers!

This Week It’s 2 “Prependicular” Peter Parkers!

This is genius.  Tired of being able to do nothing when you see someone parked like a Jagoff?  Now you can do something about it.  Check out these perpendicular Peter Parkers as an example, and check out the printable parking “tickets”!

Just don’t damage anyone’s car (especially stickered or flagged ones), and don’t get caught and/or shot in the process.

One of these days I need to capture the people that park on the yellow-lined triangle int he middle of the lot at the Kuhn’s on Banksville.  They usually stop there to disrupt traffic when going to the ATM or Starbucks.

Snap a photo, place the ticket, and they can watch for themselves online. I only wish there was a way to call out the Peter Parkers who can’t Parallel Park on the street in front of my house.

I might need to make a custom one that says something like this:

Hey Jagoff New People That Just Moved Here,

Why has the number of cars on our street doubled since you’ve moved in?  Please note that there’s an alley behind your house where you can park two (or at least one) of those cars.  I don’t have an alley behind my apartment, so that’s not an option for me.  Help make the neighborhood an easier place to park by not being a Jagoff.

Respectfully,
Your Grumpy Jagoff Neighbor

Or this:

Hey Jagoff That Visits Someone Here A Few Nights A Week,

Your truck is as long as a school bus, and is probably as wide.  I appreciate that your solution is to sometimes park with a tire on the sidewalk, but that’s not really cool.  It’s also not cool to take up 3 spaces by parking a half car-length (or quarter truck-length) away from the vehicle in front of and or behind you.  I appreciate that you probably can’t see from your seat that’s 2 stories high… so maybe you should just park in the lot at the bottom of the hill & walk to wherever you need to go.

Thanks,
A Jagoff that actually lives in this neighborhood

Or even this:

Dear Jagoff Neighbors,

How is it possible that you have a picnic, birthday party, barbecue, bonfire, or gathering for a sporting event every weekend?  Why is the gathering place for your entire extended family at your house?  Don’t you ever go to their houses?  Why is it that I can’t make a trip to CVS or anywhere else close by on a weekend without my space getting filled before I return?  Do you have a lookout on the porch doing some sort of jagoff valet where you move all of your cars closer?  Do you like to watch me carry 20 bags of groceries for 2 blocks?  There is a parking lot at the bottom of the hill for your family.  We occasionally like to entertain on the weekends too.  We tell people to park in the lot.

Thanks,
A Jagoff Neighbor

Okay, I need to go do something to calm down.

What the hell are the people upstairs doing?

I’ve lived in the same apartment for many years.  My wife has lived there with me for most of that time.  I’ve seen several neighbors come & go from the apartment upstairs… but they all make noise.  Not just “normal” people walking around noise, but crazy “what the hell are they doing up there?” kind of noise.

The latest tenants are very quiet to see them outside, but at home in their own domain, they are noise monsters.

This is a list of things that I’m absolutely sure they’re doing if I’m to guess by sound alone:

  • Doing the laser-pointer game with a 3-legged, one-eyed cat.
  • Dragging a sack full of rocks up the steps, making sure to hit every step on the way up.
  • Sled-riding down the stairs, fully padded with pillows & a football helmet of course.
  • A rodeo where they ride pigs or sheep instead of bulls.
  • Relay races from the kitchen to the living room, & back.  (With time-trials, of course.)
  • Reenacting the scene from Temple of Doom where that dude rips out the other dude’s heart.
  • Racket-ball with basketballs and cricket bats.
  • Hammering nails directly in to the wall to make a built-in Plinko board to match the built-in cabinets.
  • Homemade giant sticky wall-octopus races.  (Maybe with real Octopuses?)
  • Atlaspheres.
  • Staircase percussion only marching band.
  • Teaching clogging to a rhinoceros.

I’m sure there’s more going on.  This is only the tip of the iceberg.  Sometimes I’m hurt that we’re not invited to join in on the incredibly fun-sounding activities.  I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It makes it interesting when this stuff occurs at 11:00pm, especially the stairwell activities… because their staircase goes right over top of our bed.

Anyone want to help me set up some cameras?
