Title: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 13/08/2013, 05:22 PM Seeing as Bageled loves his parking questions, especially when it comes to taking old people spots I thought I'd ask a question:
Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying for all day parking when at work? I've started parking at my friends girlfriends place, in the visitors parking and walking the 10 minutes to work to avoid paying the $9 all day parking costs. It was going pretty well for the past couple of weeks until today. I ran into my friend (his girlfriend lives at this place) as I was getting back to my car, and we noticed some guy putting a note under his windscreen. Getting closer, we saw he had parked my friend in, gotten out of the car and walked around to the other parking spot and started yelling at this guy about parking in visitors parking when he didnt live there and wasnt a visitor. When he noticed us checking out the note, which said something along the lines of "You don't fucking live here, don't fucking park here you tightass cunt - (signed with his address)" He then came over and started yelling at us, basically begging for a fight, and said he wouldnt move his car, but my friend could drive over the curb and drive off, but "if you hit my car, you're fucking done". He then said that if we ever parked there again he would get a tow truck, tow the car out into the bush and burn it. What would you do in that situation? Obviously I'm far too skinny to fight the guy. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying?

Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 13/08/2013, 05:27 PM I wish I had thought of recording it. The guy honestly believed he was well within his rights (and I'm willing to concede the point that non visitors should not be parking there) but it was a very bogan reaction.

I was in a situation similar to that with my neighbor long story short though, i tried to be civilized but the cunt wouldn't back down (typical bogan trash) so i just beat the snot out of him... never heard a word from the cunt again! to fix a bogan problem beat the living cunt out of them its never failed me! if u have the problem of being a weedy little white guy there's no shame in using a weapon ;) thats why they were invented :D
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Syklone on 13/08/2013, 06:20 PM I read girlfriend in that and got excited for Dex. Then I re read the post and came to, it was not what I thought.
But I have been in this situation and can only tell from my experience in BNE. I lived in an area that was close to public transport but did not have enough parks for cars, the outcome was some people would park in the visitors parks in my complex and then jump on PT and go to work thus saving themselves some dollars on the parking fees. As I lived in a gated community at the time, I enquired as to what the rules are, and as it turns out, the visitor car park was on the gated communities land, thus if you car did not belong to the any of the occupants in the gated community in any way, would be towed after a warning issued to the driver. Also, if you read the tenancy fine print, the visitor car park should have a rule, covenant or some legal disclaimer stating that the visitor parking is for visitors to the complex and any violation can be reflected on the tenants if they are involved in the offending vehicle or will be towed at the owners expense if unre3lated to the community. There should normally be a placard some where stating these rules at the front of the visitors car park, or if there is a grounds keeper / body corp member / property manager who lives on site, they will issue the rules. Overall, don't do it unless you want to wreck your friends rental agreement or body corp standings or play chance and see how long till your car gets its wheels knifed or worse towed. HOWEVER - there is a plus, you can ask the body corp or some one who is maintaining the complex if you could have a park. Outcome would be they say yes, you get it in writing so you can tell others to go fuck off and you keep parking for free, and knowing that the owerns / manager of the complex are aware of your car and will watch over it. Food for thought. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Syklone on 13/08/2013, 06:23 PM Lastly - why is this in funnies media and spam ?
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 13/08/2013, 06:37 PM "spam" I did not think it required a general chat section.
ALso worth mentioning, the place where my friend parked had no signage, or anything that identified it as visitors parking. Therefore, if it is owned by the complex, they should put signage up if they dont want people parking there, considering it is just bays on the side of the road... Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: cowcar on 13/08/2013, 08:02 PM Lastly - why is this in funnies media and spam ? because Dex doesnt know how to read signs clearly. If there are no signs indicating that these are indeed visitors car parks, then how do you know Dex that they are in fact visitor car parks? Huh? Huh? yeah thats right, lawyered you.....To resolve the situation however, i would have bought a large back of sliced cheese, and written a message in it one letter at time and then placed it on your windscreen. That way you would certainly get the message, as well as a delicious snack. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying?

government paid position, and you can afford $9.00 a day buy a fucking bike Miss ya DEX (liberal front bench candidate 2013) Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Budh on 13/08/2013, 08:41 PM Sorry can't comment here as live in a town were i can park where ever the fuck i like for FREE but i must say that for the past 2 weeks we have been parking in a bus zone for work and nothing has been said yet and we only had to make room for a funeral which i can understand as its at a Cathlic school
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Mone on 13/08/2013, 08:55 PM considering it is just bays on the side of the road... Dex is it in the building complex or on the side of the road? Place a link to google maps and we can give an opinion. If it is a public car park on the side of the road tell him to piss off, if he continues to be a prick call the police and say a guy is holding you against your will by parking you in and is threatening you. They should come and sort it out. If they don't come to the first suggested call simply stab the prick, then call the police again and tell them it is all okay now that you have stabbed the guy and they don't need to come because it is all sorted, as you have moved his car after taking his keys from his cold hands :) They may however ask you to stay and they will come this time, tell them to fuck off and that they should have come the first time you called, also try to add some swearing and Pig type comments that will help build re-pore with the police and should help smooth the situation over when they do arrive. Hope this has helped Dex and be sure to let me know when visiting hours are so I can visit, PS this will help the girlfriend situation as I am sure Bubba will oblige with your urges for cock. ;) Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: cryptochild4 on 14/08/2013, 05:24 AM Well, if i lived in a complex like that and saw some cheap wanker parking there for free despite having a job and all that, i would do several things in stages.
Stage one, monitor the vehicle for a week to make sure they were there everyday. stage 2, tape some plastic shopping bags to their exhausts before the muffler, so as the exhaust heats up it melts the plastic releasing smoke and stinking out their whole car and also slowly causing them cancer. stage 3, jam potatoes or other items up their exhaust pipes. if they continued after to park there. stage 4, fill their wheel hubs with fish and prawn heads. stage 5, leave a note advising them not to park there. stage 6, break into their car, run a wire from the starting coil to their seat, so as they sit down and turn the key they get a violent electric shock. stage 7, rip the valve stems out of their tyres. stage 8, scratch the fuck out of their car. stage 9, fire bomb it. so my advice is pony up and pay for fucking parking like everyone else does. hence part of the reason i ride a motorbike, so i can park in the middle of the city for either free or $8 a day Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: bageled on 14/08/2013, 11:39 AM Crypto makes a good point. You are very much at a disadvantage if this guys decides to get vigilante on you.
Probably time to park elsewhere. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Epsoma on 14/08/2013, 01:47 PM Ill tell you what I would do... Get some pounds on and get cut. Next time he comes up to you make sure you have a goat to release on his ugly ass. If the goat fails, grab his collar, lift him up and drive his mother fucking ass into the ground. And if that fails. Call chal and get him to give the guy one from behind. That should do the trick. After all this. Get that fully automatic gatling shotgun (Its a real thing. I saw it on tv.) thats attached to the roof of you're car and give tear his car apart. That should do it.

Yeah not too say this guy is doing the right thing by being a right cunt, but he kind of has a point. There is probably more free parking around if you look for it, maybe with less bogan-vigilante-angry men guarding it. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying?

Then watch as he wrecks the wrong one by mistake or goes ape-face on an actual neighbour... :o Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 14/08/2013, 05:09 PM http://goo.gl/maps/F8DWJ
where that silver car is parked Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: cowcar on 14/08/2013, 05:31 PM thats parking on the side of a street, nothing to do with the housing complex.... tell him to jam it up his unemployed, cock loving arse...

Post by: Syklone on 14/08/2013, 08:34 PM thats parking on the side of a street, nothing to do with the housing complex.... tell him to jam it up his unemployed, cock loving arse... I concur too. I wandered around on the map and found fuck all any indication that those parking spaces relate or belong to a complex or body Corp in any way. I did note the place looks dodgy as all he'll though when I did a tour of the streets and surroundings. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: bageled on 14/08/2013, 08:51 PM looks like a public street to me.
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Budh on 15/08/2013, 05:08 AM public parking go tell him to blow a goat

If that guy had said that to me, well he would still be in ICU sucking steak through a straw! I do respect the fact that your a cheap fuck and it is your right to avoid payed parking. Though to park there is just asking for trouble and you deserved what you received, ( sort of ) Heard of a pushbike ya prick? If not, buy one Dex. What you are doing is WRONG! I like you, but parking there is so typical of your generation of I don't give a fuck about anyone else except me and I can do what I want. The question from me is, why do you think you are special and why do you think you can take these parks? Bageled's parking in those pram car parks, your trying to compare, is like trying to compare apples and oranges and trying to justify what you did. Here is a place for you to check out : http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bike_shop/canberra-city/act/onya-bike-civic/17405 (https://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/853/j81f.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photos/my-images/853/j81f.jpg/) 1) You will save money on the car! 2) Most important one for you NO $9 PARKING FEE! 3) You will become fit/fitter 4) You now have an excuse to shave your legs, balls and a$$ :-\ 5) You will appreciate the lovely days, crisp weather, meet new people, maybe a chic ;D (highly fucken doubt it ) 6) Best of all, you will not be that creepy white infused pimply looking nerd that just looks like he has done an all nighter in some weird perverted way. Hope this helps you. Love Sammy 8) Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying?

Post by: DonutKing on 15/08/2013, 09:40 AM the guy sounds like a collosal fuckstain, I don't see anything to suggest it is anything other than a public car park.
He sounds like he doesn't have two brain cells to bang together so its probably best not to antagonize him though because he will do something stupid. Fuck paying for parking. Where I work is a council car park, you are meant to pay $3 a day for undercover parking but they also have an undercover 4 hour public car park. I park in the 4 hour parking, then just come out at lunchtime and if I got chalk on my tyres, roll the car back half a metre. haven't been done yet. Fight the power. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: abbadonz on 15/08/2013, 11:11 AM OOOHHH MY god
Councils! arranged parking permit for my area on Tuesday Arvo, get told that ive been allocated a probationary permit while i get paperwork sorted and that im ok to park wherever! Wed 8:18am i get fined, upon calling the council i get advised that they only issued the permit at midday on wed, and that they cant do shit unless i write to them appealing the fine... You play by the rules and get shat on... so FUCK EM park wherever! Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Alucard on 15/08/2013, 11:51 AM i would have to agree in saying that it would be public parking. it would only be private if there was a sign saying that it was reserved parking and even then it would need to be on the property on the complex it self.
i would look into public transport, you would just take the bus around the roundabout. Canberra is just one big roundabout right? Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Deadalus on 15/08/2013, 12:13 PM lol sammy
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Mone on 15/08/2013, 04:35 PM Agree it is public parking, tell him it is public parking and call the cops if he does it again.
Unfortunately though sounds like he would do stuff to your car, I would make note of where he lives and his rego. If anything does happen to your car, then payback is a bitch Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Epsoma on 15/08/2013, 05:37 PM Thats the one
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 15/08/2013, 09:22 PM Heard of a pushbike ya prick? If not, buy one Dex. What you are doing is WRONG! I like you, but parking there is so typical of your generation of I don't give a fuck about anyone else except me and I can do what I want. Tell me that doesn't sound like your attitude when it comes to "telling people how it is". According to the lack of signage, I have just as much right to park there as anyone. I do like the fact you are quite happy to tell me im WRONG, not just regular wrong, but full caps wrong and I think im special and rules dont apply to me. Do rules apply to you? I'm pretty sure there is a rule around here about being courteous to other members, but hey that rule is for others, not you. I like you, but seriously? You are also happy to put the guy in the ICU and have him drink out of a straw - the same guy that apparently is giving me what I deserve. Pretty sure your solution is a lot more WRONG than my parking. And good to know that there are people like the one who abused me in Queensland too :) But hey, good diatribe. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Epsoma on 15/08/2013, 11:13 PM Next time you encounter him, put the phone on record and point it at the ground. It would probably be illegal to record him without permission, not sure if that also covers audio. Do it anyway and if shit hits the fan and you go to court for something you have something to back you up. Also, unless that is a gated community, as in you drive through gates to get to it, its FFA parking when they dont have any signs out. Go for it.
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Epsoma on 15/08/2013, 11:16 PM And also, thats the google car. If this was private property the google car shouldnt be on it anyway? Not too sure but it seems logical. So I think it must be public land
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Splints on 16/08/2013, 04:21 AM You're in a bit of a difficult spot Dex. As Mone said keep his address and grab his rego as well. Also what kind of car does he drive?
This guy sounds like typical bogan trash using the threat of violence to intimidate. I wouldn't worry about getting hit though, guys who talk like that are usually just full of shit, "I'm a Hard Cunt" pretenders. If he approaches you again make sure to record it but don't be obvious about it, tell him it's a public area and you have a right to park here, if anything happens to your car the cops will be paying him a visit. Or the simple thing would be to park further away, an extra 30 second walk could solve the problem. If he does mess with your car wait a while then put sand in the oil fill tube. Just don't get caught doing it and don't ever park there again. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Dex on 16/08/2013, 06:18 AM Yeah, now I park at the tafe student parking an extra couple minutes away.
And before anyone says I cant park their either.. I'm a student there too :) Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Alucard on 16/08/2013, 07:45 AM hahaha so you enrolled at tafe just to get a better car park, why does this sound like crackerjack??
Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: bageled on 16/08/2013, 08:12 AM Smart move Dex, you don't need that kind of aggravation in your life. That guy isn't worth any kind of dispute, best to turn the other cheek.
Title: Re: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: jazzycat on 16/08/2013, 09:00 AM Best to just ignore sources of aggravation you can't change or influence (or get rid of by catapult and a hefty dose of potato rage).
Karma will come round :P Sent by my HTC One X from the Potato Cave. We have cookies. Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: abbadonz on 16/08/2013, 09:05 AM should leave him little love notes on his car once a week... Things like (http://i.qkme.me/35p9dx.jpg)

Title: Re: Do you park in residential visitors parking to avoid paying? Post by: Mone on 16/08/2013, 10:18 AM You could just start to mail them to his home address once a week, actually if you give us his home address we could all start sending them to him, how funny would that be for him to get 50 or so of these in the mail from all over the country in the space of a week.
That's it Dex, it is decided please get his address and try to get his first name form your mates girlfriend, the whole clan will then Print and post to him one of the above signs, I reckon we could get at least 50 of these chocking his letterbox.
