I totally sympathize with Jeremy. This one time I was standing in the doorway of the DMV trying to hold my wifes spot in line as she looked for parking. And these assholes kept coming up and trying to get by me. So this one guy eventually brushes past me and sneers “please let me through we are all busy people here.” So I call the cops and now he’s doing 50-life for attempted rape and man slaughter. Burn in hell prick.

My friend and I once wrote a sketch back in the days when we were trying to get on Saturday Night Live called Parking Buddies. It was a commercial that involved things that you put over parking obstacles. One of the things was a guy parks next to a fire hydrant and takes out his Parking Buddy, which looks like a blue mail box and puts it over the hydrant. Later he comes back, picks it up, shakes out the mail that it’s accumulated and happily gets back in his car and drives away.

Someone should make an inflatable car you leave in “your” spot during the day, kind of like the maskirovka tricks the Soviets pulled in WWII.

Jenn, insist all you’d like, but really, there are no savies. There are only people who might not want the hassle of arguing that’s all.
Seeing a spot “first” is hardly relevant, in this case. Sorry.

…you’ve never lived in New Orleans, I take it. People put out trash cans, lawn chairs and 2 x 4s for parking space reservations on “public” streets – god help you if you move that shit!

Yes – it is perfectly acceptable for someone to stand in and hold a spot that THEY SAW FIRST so that the driver can make the appropriate maneuvers for safety and legality.

Even better is if you see someone getting ready to leave – ask them if they’ll hold off til your friend arrives – so there is an actual car in the space.

I think the anti-savesies people are the same people who INSIST on “one line” at Walgreen’s or who go ballistic if someone gets served at La Victoria before they do…

No one is entitled to any parking spot on public streets. Period.

If the issue is safety, the “safe” thing would be for people not to stand in parking spots (as sometimes there is limited visibility).

If you can’t pull into a spot safely, you just need to move on and find another spot. Just because you see a spot and have a person who can go out and “save” it, doesn’t entitle you to the spot, either.
It sucks, but that’s driving in the big city. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t.

“Some dirt bag motherfucker used his vehicle to battered me out of the parking spot I was holding for me wife, who was 1 block away.”

After reading this, I’m so glad I don’t own a car here. I’m not one of the “close off Market St. to cars, everyone should ride a bike types either.” I don’t know how to ride a bike, so that isn’t an option for me.

Having a car in this city seems a huge hassle–does the benefit really outweigh the annoyance? I can see if you live out in the Richmond or Sunset, needing a car. But the Mission? I lived there and didn’t own a car. Some of my roommates did and it seemed like they were forever getting broken windows, tickets or towed.

I remember this space saving thing from when I lived in New Jersey. There though, people got seriously injured over it–punched or occasionally, shot or beaten with a tire iron, not getting tapped by someone’s car.

jenn: totally. that’s how it works in real life.

this anti-savsies “debate” is like getting worked up over whether or not saying “Frisco” is an insult. a lot of noise.

except for the felony vehicular assault thing.

the driver was the asshole – glad he’s going to jail.

I’m an avid pedestrian, actually. I don’t really respect people that feel the need to drive in cities with sufficient public transportation and I think they should be taxed like crazy so the rest of us can have trains that run on time. However, I do respect the fact that cars are heavy and move fast and that I wouldn’t have much of a fighting chance in 1-on-1 combat. Anyone who thinks otherwise is pretty damn foolish.
