Check out this parking lot idiot

[skibreeze]

Well in defense of this flatlander from a fellow flatlander atleast he didn't park out in the middle of nowhere in the parking lot like I have seen some Coloradans do! Its all just a bunch of poor me bullsh@t, and your just looking to rag on someone. I guess if you didn't want to take the risk of getting blocked in you could have done a bit better parking yourself!! Maybe you could try to pull in line with everyone else and not halfway around the other vehicle. Or like you stated if there was actually 15 feet behind him why didn't you just pull around the back of him??? That would kind of seem to be the obvious thing to do! I can see where the guy thought that your pickup was there for the duration as it has a rick of snow piled behind it. Kinda leave I guy to think that, would it not??? If this fellow rider had parked out in the middle of nowhere and been out of the normal line up you woulld have voiced your opinion on that one to I am guessing. Just my .02!

His parking job was way better than either of yours. You head first parked two vehicles at odd angles that both needed to be backed out with a third point turn???

It's funny how you defend the guy's parking when you weren't even there. It doesn't matter how long somebody is parked somewhere, you are an azzhole if you block them in. This bonehead passes up a half empty lot to block my truck.The guy also left 15 feet behind him to the berm. (Talk about wasting valuable real estate) As far as my parking, I took up the least amount of space possible. The normal parking for this lot is to park around the perimeter of the lot and then have parallel rows down the middle. Behind me is normally the driving through lane, so I should have had to do was back up.

someone tell me why we can't run it like a boat launch. drop your sleds ahead of where you're going to park. then back in or whatever you need to do. ah ha then you dont need any room. When your done, move your truck and load up. It would make so much more room in the lot.

You park in an area where people can exit easily. Pretty simple.

Parking your truck and trailer so close to dave's truck meant that he had to squeeze by using 4x4. His truck could have easily slid into the other truck while trying to get out. You buy an expensive truck, why risk your potential for damage by parking so close to somebody in a snowy parking lot.

Just because there is snow on somebodies truck doesn't mean they are not going to want to leave. Esp on a Sunday late afternoon.

The truck was parked in the drive thru area. I understand he may not have known that. If that is the case than the entire parking lot was open. Plenty of smarter areas to park. Here is a pic with my back to the camper in the morning. If that was the only area to park at the time he arrived it would have been obvious he was in the drive thru area.

Why wouldn't you want to park in the middle of nowhere near anyone else??

We had some stickers that were sticky on the text side and said something like " Hey Azzhat thanks for parking/blocking me in, next time think about where you park...". Slap one of those on the windshield right in front of driver and mabey they will get a clue next time!

 

[bushy]

I think that's exactly what Dave wrote on the note he stuck under the wiper. lol

 

[Sidehiller]

What's the big deal?

Must have been a pretty crappy day of riding if that wrecked your day. Have a and quit stressing about little sh!t.

 

[skibreeze]

I *****ed, wrote a note, and backed out. That was the end of my aggravation until people started defending an idiot in a situation that they had no awareness of. Excuse me.

 

[smittysnow]

awareness

ummmm..you kind filled us all in with the picture in the first post. And I kow that we don't know the situation because we weren't there and all that good stuff, so was the pictures posted for the people that were there's benefit. I don't understand??? IDK...Lets put this one to bed.

We in Colorado are experts at Mtn Driving and parking. If we park in the middle of the lot, there is a reason for it. Those from the flatlands do it for no reason. Must be the altitude. Now, stand on washbucket and watch your dog run away for three days.

bushys beer !!

We started to pull in to muddy creek Sunday morning, took one look at things, unplowed lot & turned around & parked on top. I didn't feel like getting stuck or blocked in. Unfortunately Bushmaster that cost you the beer that was in the back of my truck!! I couldn't carry that much on my sled. Sorry. I'll try again this weekend !

 

[PJ-Hunter]

Why do peeps lose their smarts when they park in that lot? On any given weekend some azzclown will block somebody in. It happened to me 2 weeks ago when I had to rush somebody to the ER.

Tell you what, next time somebody pulls that chit, I will unhook my trailer, grab my chains, hook up to him and pull his azz outta the way! Won't hurt my rig anyways. I'm getting tired of out of staters pulling this crap, can't be a local cause we know better.

This goes to show you how bright you Coloridiots are!!!! I ask a serious question and get a answer get my head out of my azz or go home. BRIGHT. Also half of us flatlanders go riding more then you guys. Sure some of you go every weekend but I'm up there every 3 weekends which I'm sure is as much as most of you. Does it really matter where anyone is from. Like I said before if you make the guy infront of you happy your going to tick off the guy behind you. If we all took off our license plates I think we would all be surprised to find out who the screw ups are. I'd bet it would be split down the middle. I agree with ak2co. A boat launch style would just about put this problem behind us. If you cant take a little contraversity STAY HOME.

Why are you sandwiched between two guys!?!

 

[arcticcat38]

well, when you park up at denny creek you park single file!! Fine if you make the guy to the right happy your going to tick off the guy to you left.

Well put!

 

[arcticcat38]

parking

umm i thought i did answer your question.

I understand what you are saying but, what is fairly easily accessable for me I guess isin't for someone else. I guess I'm talking number of feet to leave between vehicles. I'm not harassing you sledskiing I honstly appreciate the info it just seems to me if I left 20' the person is going to want 40'.

 

[sledskiing]

OK let's agree to disagree. See you on the hills.
