Take note, if you park your four-wheeled contrivance in a motorcycle parking bay, you’re probably asking to be keyed. Bike parking spots are limited at the best of times, normally ten or so in a facility of thousands for cars - and yet car drivers complain when a “bike takes up a whole park”.
Well, you have people like this to blame…
How not to park your car - unless you hate your paint.
Upon posting this on a rather popular social network, I polled my friends and family as to what the best solution for educating this poor person was, and here’s some of the many responses…
- Time for some pinstriping?
- I can feel a tyre slash coming on…
- He probably doesn’t need those tail lights either…
- Crack a few eggs on the roof?
- Oh… someone once threw a strawberry thickshake over a friend’s windscreen who had parked inconsiderately. It was feral within 20 mins!
- Looks like a good candidate for the puncturing of tyres…
- Need to park a bike in front and behind him with your phone number on them.
- I’m liking the shake idea - just make sure the thickshake goes into the air vents and those pesky windscreen wipers are removed.
- I would at the very least let down a tire…
- I’ve just had the suggestion of motor oil across the bonnet or prawn juice in the door seals (pharmacy sells syringes). If you have enough time, get a jake and remove all the tyres.
- Get the local bikie gang to park them in…
I remarked that as much as I’d love to do all of those things (though brake fluid works better - it’s permanent) - in the camera-covered carpark of that particular shopping centre, I couldn’t afford the criminal charges.
And of course the classic response had been missed until a response to my lament…
That means my suggestion of pissing in the exhaust probably is out of the question….?
