What would you have done?

[snowracer69]

So I get back from school this afternoon and my roommate is going to be gone for a week... this means I get the covered parking space all to myself. I pull in the lot, and there's some rusted out, beat up POS Ford Fiesta or something like that parked in MY COVERED SPOT!! I pulled in to the two next to it and let the Cummins idle to 325*F. I sat there for probably 3 minutes and nobody showed, so I finally said F-it and parked about 250 feet farther away (uncovered, non-assigned parking). As I load my stuff out of my pickup and head inside, I decide to call my roommate on my cell. He picks up and the conversation on my end goes like this... "Hey, I just got back to the apt. and I'm NOT PARKED IN OUR SPOT!!" "Yeah no ****! Wait, here comes the f*cker that parked in it now!" Out walks an easily 300 lb man, and I mean 300 lbs of fat! I've seen him and his wife before and know they don't live here, they just have some people they come to see on a regular basis. He says "Are you talking about me? Why don't you say it to my face!" I said "Move your F*cking car out of my spot!" He came back "Come to my face and say that and I'll rub your nose in the ground!" My roommate heard all this through my phone... now, I'm only 5'9" and 150 lbs, so this guy easily outweighed me by 150 lbs. Most of the time I'm pretty confrontational, but I just didn't think I could do it by myself (if he was able to get on top) so I started walking towards my pickup. He yelled "why don't you call maintinance and have me towed?" I said "I'll just park on top of you or pull you out of my spot if I want. " This time he came rushing up to me (fast as 300 lbs can move at least) and got right in my face (less then 8" away). He said "Why don't you say those things to my face... I'll plant you in the ground!... call me that to my face!" All I said was "Move your f*cking car out of my spot, and never park there again". I turned and walked towards my pickup, but thought better of it, and just went the long way to my apt. My roommate heard the entire conversation through my phone, and had I been thinking, I would have hit the record button for future proceedings.



I know it's the wrong attitude and all, but had I had someone, ANYONE with me, I probably would have made the confrontation go farther till he hit me or touched me, then I would have unleashed on him. I'm not much in size, but I wrestle good enough to keep out from under someone. I would have at least got in a shot or two, and definitely would have broke the fat-*******s glasses!



Ok, sorry for venting so much, but I'm still worked up. Not sure if I should just drop it, or go to covert tactics on his vehicles. I know most of the tricks (most were done to me in highschool) and think I could get him pretty good.



What do you all think? What would you have done in my situation?

Park behind him, write down his tag #, lock your truck, and walk away.



Let him try to find you when it's time for him to leave.

Forget it, some people will always be a-holes no need to get your blood pressure up over them.

Grab him by the biscuits like you are pull starting a cold 2 stroke. Then kick the everloving crap out of him as he rolls back and forth. Big guy is not a big deal, you just have to go at it like you mean it. A big guy like that NEEDS a lesson in humility, manners and relating to fellow men.

I DID NOT TELL YOU THIS, BUT... people are like trees- no matter how big or tall they are, you cut them all down the same way- from the bottom! Feet, ankles, knees, sack,- you get the idea.

Something similar happened to me while I was in college. An A-hole would always park in my spot, but fortunately I was friendly with the parking attendant, so I could use another visitors spot. Well, ine day I kind of snapped, and used the 1970 Pontiac Catalina 4dr to push the camaro out of the way, into the drive-lane. Now the grill on that Catalina was pointed, so it did a good job on the rear of the camaro. My spot was vacant all of the time after that.

Just grab a 3/8" binder chain, about 25 or 30 feet long. Your bumper, his rear axle and as much momentum as you can get before the slack takes up.



Problem solved.





Personally, I'd have just called management and had it towed.



No point getting a broken foot because you knock some lard-ass out and he falls on it.

Just push him over, he'll probably rock himself to sleep trying to get up.

he knows he was wrong, that's why he wanted to get you worked up. I wouldn't do anything to his vehicle besides tow it because i would not like it done to mine, nor would anybody. but he did say tow it, so trap that pos to your bumper and drag it away. then tell him to come see me if he's got a problem. I love thumpin' people my own size

Personally, I would have called his bluff. Most people like that are full of hot air, anyway. But I'm also 6 ft, about 225, and muscular. One solid (notice I said solid- that's the key) hit and he'd be out for the count. I'd have called him all that, and thrown in a few good comments about his fat nasty wife for good measure. Dont resort to doing stuff to his car, though. He'd just return the favor, and the CTD is a LOT more expensive to fix than the overworked shoebox is.

FOr the future, take some martial arts. It will teach you some patience, not to mention some quick self defense. Dont try to get him back this time; just wait till next time. Fatty will most likely give you another chance to make a fool of him.

If he is in your assigned spot simply have him towed.
