on multiple occasions, I've seen owners, finding their vehicle blocked in a lot, go ballistic with a
tire iron/ax on the offending vehicle .... another time it was a Benchmade to the sidewalls

next time it will probably be some dude in crazy pants with a shotgun

damn, spitroasting a pickup is a risky move. no guts no glory.

The double parking rows in several ski areas around here seem to confuse people but more often they start a new row instead of making the back half of a second.
Meanwhile the parking attendants at Palisades (both areas) seem to want people to park as far as possible from the lifts when there's plenty of parking closer. I park where I damn well please. It's the outlaw in me.

Get the pb&j ready

[shroom]

[stealurface831]

Get the pb&j ready

more like get the sphincter ready. shit on doorhandles.

[old goat]

More like eat the pbj while you wait for the someone to move their car. Because it's pretty dumb to fuck with someone's car when you can't move yours.

Back in my lifty days I also for a time did some parking lot management. We had that shit on point in the morning for the big rush - we'd use pylons to mark out spots and direct vehicles in to every other space. You know how dumbasses leave like 3' so they can keep their doors open and dick around with all their shit for a half hour (these are the clowns who get dressed in the parking lot, btw) which then leaves a bunch of gaps juuuust not big enough for another vehicle? Not on our watch! So once you keep your pylons moving and parking cars every other spot, the remaining cars can just slide in to these nice vacant spots you've left as needed. It's a beautiful system.

Anyhow, sometimes we'd return in the afternoon to someone stuck because despite our work-of-art parking lot curation, people would triple-park someone in. We would get 4 or 5 of us and rock the vehicles, moving them about an inch at a time until there was space for people to get out. Was helpful if the lot was snowy/icy, but this seemed to work in muddy soft gravel as well.

Those were the days. I guess now they don't hire their best in these lots (or at all in some cases).

Remind me to stay away from the ski areas you frequent

In E-WA & N-ID you'd think the vandalizer would get 30 rounds of a .223 in them...

At silver it’s a free for all survival of the fittest type deal.

Around here the guests move the pylons if they want to park somewhere they shouldn't. While a lot of people living along Donner Pass Rd put pylons out to try to keep people from parking legally in the right of way in front of their house.

What did your crew do when somebody decided you made the exit road too wide and they could fit one more vehicle in the space between where you marked the end of the row and the snowbank?
So they move the pylons and park there.
Leaving about 6” between their vehicle and the one that WAS the end of the row. On the drivers side of course.
And making it almost impossible for emergency vehicles to exit.

Because this happens to me 90% of the time I get parked at the end of a row. To the point where I’m calculating where I’m gonna get parked as I’m coming in and will pull out of line if I’m gonna be at the end.

Mt Brokenchair’s parking crew leaves when the lot fills up (~0930) so they don’t control these late arriving douchebags.

I didn't explain properly. We'd have only 3 pylons. Guy#1 uses them to mark where you want the nose of the current car coming in to park, while the guy#2 directs them there. Once the car parks, guy#1 grabs 1 of the pylons and moves it over, making a new space where you want the next car to park. Next car can either come to the new space guy#1 just made with pylons, or use one of the spaces that are now created by properly-spaced vehicles. It worked like a charm.

See pic for example. At step 3, the next car would have the choice to park in either A or B. The goal was to get whole lines of cars spaced out nicely so we could leave sooner.



This was only for the big blast of parking in the morning - like 2 hours or so. Then go ski or whatever, because the parking lot is set in the most efficient way possible. We'd come back later and manually rearrange the few late arrival asshats that just parked wherever. This would only happen on the busiest of days - really 3-4 days a season.

One day I'll tell you the secret to lift mazes. Okay fine it's today: gotta make them skinny - quad lift means a skinny maze that 4 people can juuuuust comfortably squeeze in to. If they are too wide you will have groups of 5 sliding up fo' sho'. If I ever saw a group of 5 I'd move the gates closer a touch and boom problem solved. Gotta treat them like cattle!

We learned that when people go on vacations they leave their brains at home. Nothing wrong with that really, I always found these things amusing and am guilty of it as well from time to time.

Jeeze, that is a paved parking lot with marked spaces. Around here we get mud & rocks to park on. WTF !!
