Things that annoy me (2 Viewers)

[Combat]

I may have mentioned this one before but people who park their enormous pickup truck or service vans at the end of a parking lane rendering it impossible to see around them when trying to pull out of the lane. Apparently never giving a moments thought to the difficulties that they pose for every single person who is trying to get out of the parking lot.

Another parking lot peeve is people who insist on backing into a space even though they are terrible drivers and it is pointless since they could simply drive through an empty space and be facing outward on the other side.

Especially when they park like that outside other peoples homes, 'kin tossers.

yea...this one really hits home with me...trying to navigate the UTMB 6 floor hospital parking garage...where the signs on the corner turnaround parking spaces clearly say..."Subcompact Cars Only"...these people park their One-Ton Dually trucks...which you can barely get around to make the turn...also ticks me off as much as able-bodied people taking handicap spots with no placards on their mirror or license plates...

Contrary to what most people think most policemen do not like writing tickets. There wasn't a quota but you would here about it if you didn't. Having said that the one ticket I did not mind writing was a car in a handicap spot with out the proper signage. Regular parking tickets at the time where $10 but handicap tickets were $50.

currently $500 t0 $750 in Texas...with additional increases to habitual offenders...remember Governor Abbott is in a wheel chair...

Its the same here now in NZ due to the increasing number of 'entitled,' illegally using disabled parking without the required permit. The Govt here got so fed-up they bumped the instant fine up to $750 earlier this year.

That's more than double what it used to be. I only wish they'd do the same for those obsessed cell-phones users here, who can't seem to drive for more than 50 metres before having to call or text someone, while ignoring the hands-free options.

Fine is $645 and 4 demerit points in Queensland, loose your license after 12 points over Three years. These fines can be applied by Queensland Police Service or Local County Council.

The other one that really bothers me in Texas is trucks lifted 20 feet off the ground that have permanent handicap plates.

If you can climb down from a truck as high as Everest you can park in a standard parking spot and walk a few more steps.
