    Find another job if waiting for another driver to back in to a spot costs you too much time. This industry is becoming more and more unbelievable by the second.

    It's all the solo drivers that create the parking problem anyway, if everyone teamed, there would always be plenty of parking available. :rolleyes:

    You have to figure that everybody around you, has their head up their arse, and adjust what YOU are doing, to keep your driving record clean. And while it may be worse now than ever before, it has always been that way.
    OK, you have the right of way, but is insisting on having it worth an accident, or even an incident.
    There was a lot to be said for the days when you could slap the snot out of a jerk, and it might even have put some common sense into him.

    My theory exactly, the 5 minutes spent waiting on some cluster ####, is nothing.
    If the paint gets scraped, you'll be kicking yourself in the ###. Going why didn't I just wait the few minutes.

    @the j in beaver Utah had a guy blow by me while I was waiting for a another driver to back in.....

    The guy backing in slammed on his brakes because the turdbrain idiot has no respect!
    I honked my horn in disgust at this turd -was like wtf seriously?!
    He figures.....'spots are few...I can interrupt this guy backing up and bypass this driver (me)

    Drivers are acting the way 4 wheelers act in Walmart parking lots

    But there comes a time to #### or get off the pot, If you cant back up in 5 minutes are we supposed to still wait?
    I will never help a backer who does not put on his 4 way flashers, ever.
    ,
    When I back up, I got the windows down (so I can hears) and I stick my head outs the window (so I cans sees) and later on I use the mirrors, I can hit any dang spot I want like that and I take that extra pull up and center myself in my spot.
    .
    But these drivers with the windows up, and their face straight ahead, trying to back a truck is way too much for me.
     
    LGarrison Thanks this.
