Advice on handling a trick situation...

[nudemetalz]

Hi Peoples,

I have had a couple of instances lately where I go to park in the bike park in town and there’s a car parked right in the way.
Now I have asked politely for them to shift their car but one particular di1ckhead once in a Toymota Surf said to me “No, I can park where I like, you can get stuffed !!”
Now, I’m normally a cool-headed reasonable person but this made my blood boil.
I went off the deep rather nastily by responding that if he decided to continue parking there I shall rearrange his nice straight panel lines, and then him to match it.

He saw that I was not joking and therefore decided to shift his jalopy.
I got to work and was in a bad mood for the whole morning.

Later on reflection, I was quite ashamed of how I handled this despite the positive result.
He probably thinks we’re all t0ssers now.

What do you think I SHOULD have done instead of threatening violence?

hit him with a hammer, you would of got off lightly by lying about your brother All Black and how hard done by you are

[oldrider]

He was a tosser anyway you probably haven't changed him but you sure did move him. Good on you mate.
You practiced situation ethics. Have you done a course on that? :2thumbsup Cheers ,John.

You can walk off, if you want to be called calm.
Or, you can just not threaten but actually do it, but you might regret it.
Or you can do what you did.
Only those three alternatives, I guess.

Calling council will not help much normally.

[skelstar]

Could have been calm and collected and told him that he was being unreasonable and childish.

You SHOULD apologise to him if you truely regret the stance you took in the first place.

[SimJen]

hit him :)
I think you did right. He had no problem telling you to get stuffed.....that makes all car drivers look bad (as if they need it).
Good on ya

Ive had a similar thing happen to me. I had nowhere to park but right in front of their car cause it was jammed packed. I asked them nicely to move as it was a bike park but they told me to get f**ked so I just parked my bike right in front of their car so they couldn't get out. It was a brand new BMW so I had assumed that they wouldnt want to hurt their car by riding it into my bike (was my old GN). As I walked away I noted their rego incase they did do something to my bike, I went and did my shopping and came back about an hour later, they were sitting in their car but couldnt move. They hurled abuse at me but I just laughed at them and rode away.

[The_Dover]

Shoulda parked your bike on the pavement then come back and laid a few tacks under the cunts tyres.

[limbimtimwim]

You've already done the right thing by realising that you have made a mistake.

Both of you have just had a refresher course in "Not being a pig head".

You are Toyota Surf guy are now both better for it.

they wanted you to move and hurled abuse at you? I would of gone and got a drink and a book and sat down and waited :wait:

[limbimtimwim]

This reminds me a little of what happened to me last night.

One lane straight ahead. I am stopped at a red. The moment the light turns green there is a car to my left passing me. This gave me a suprise. The guy in the car thought he'd pissed me off, I think he knew he was being a bit naughty. Law says you can pass a stopped vehicle on the left, so he didn't technically do anything wrong. He had annoyed me a little with his proximity, but not much. So he tries to run away from me, in his station wagon, going up Bowen St at 80km/h (In the dead of the night, I think I have clocked up the Bowen St Speed Record, so there was no chance he could get away). So we stop at the top to turn right onto Tinakori. Light turns green, he drives away all sensible, proceeds 100m and pulls over in a dumb spot to let me pass. I think he thinks I was following him. But no sir, I was just going home.

Ha ha, he musta got a fright. Thinking I'd road-rage his arse or something.

Practice it. And if he thinks we're all violent tossers so much the better. At least he'll have a bit of respect in future.

[MSTRS]

You done good. SUV drivers do not understand subtle things like "Please"

[Str8 Jacket]

lol, well I figured that they had been waiting quite a while already any longer and they might have just tryed knocking my bike over. The funny thing was that they had a big trailor attached to the car and when I got back they had started to remove it, probably so they could manouver their car out so it would'nt have been long before they left anyway...

Goes back to the theory that your safer looking like a gang member on a bike than a toothpaste tube as people feel threatened by Gangs....

Yes I know....however, do you think a contractor type guy in a Hilux is going to accept me telling him he is childish?

[nudemetalz]

Well not exactly, but 7 years of martial arts did originally teach me to be calm in those sort of situations. However, I was anything but calm that day.

[skelstar]

NM - yeah fair enough. But by the same token you may have lived up to his expectations of a motorcyclist...he might have surprised you as you could have surprised him :).

[Str8 Jacket]

Yes I know....however, do you think a contractor type guy in a Hilux is going to accept me telling him he is childish?

Yeah, but had you have said that, his behaviour may have more than likely become "childish"...

Its funny how sometimes we can react to a certain incident in a pleasent mature way and other day's the same thing will happen and you'll end up going postal.. or is that just me?...
Anyway nudey I think that you handled the situation OK, I mean at the end of the day you got your park didn't ya?! :msn-wink:

[Grahameeboy]

What has to be worse is people without cards parking in disabled bays....I try to tell them and about 50% move and the rest say "I am in the car so I am not parked"........I once went up to 6 hoons who had both cars in the bays and one had one of those blue background disabled cards in his car which you get in buildings.........told them....mobile phone..."Hello is that the Police".....they moved.

[nudemetalz]

Yes I did get the park.
I wonder if having a large motorcycle makes any difference (no offence to anyone here who rides a smaller bike) as opposed to pulling up on a Nifty-Fifty.


Thanks to everyone for their opinions. :)

[Lou Girardin]

He saw that I was not joking and therefore decided to shift his jalopy.
I got to work and was in a bad mood for the whole morning.

.

That would have made me feel great.

[justsomeguy]

You could have listened to him, put your tail between your legs and whimpered off.:confused:

No bud, you did the right thing. :niceone:

I agree these situations are a bit hard - what if he came over after you were gone and knocked your bike. :angry:

In these cases it's either take the shit and leave or put your helmet and gloves back on and assume the boxing stance.:spudgrr:

Unless ofcourse you (and he) have an hour to sit down and talk about your feelings.:oi-grr:

[Sniper]

You should have stabbed him in the arse with a screw driver.

You did OK mate, I would have done the same.

[Finn]

You done good. SUV drivers do not understand subtle things like "Please"

Yes we do. "Please" pass the caviar and "Please" don't poo poo SUV drivers.

[Swoop]

Law says you can pass a stopped vehicle on the left, so he didn't technically do anything wrong.
You have to bestopped and indicating a right hand turn to be passed on the left, I believe.

[ching_ching]

This may sound strange but some people only respond to the likes of "fuck off"!! and suchlike, not "please desist forwith your current actions sir"!!. Whether he's arrogant, ignorant, trying to save face or all of the above, you did the right thing bro. Be sure we all back it up with the readies peeps if it comes to that. Keep up the learns on that punch bag which is hanging up next to your bike. :devil2:

[nudemetalz]

Funny thing is I also drive a Pajero but are also very mindful of bikers when I'm driving. So Finn is right, we're not all like that Hilux tosser.

[Grahameeboy]

Yes we do. "Please" pass the caviar and "Please" don't poo poo SUV drivers.

I am with you.....I have a 7 seater people carrier so I have room for injured motorcyclists I bump into.........did I just say that.....:spudwhat:

[XP@]

Ride on to the pavement.
enter the parking spot from the pavement side
then, optionally, go a bit too far and leave a tyre imprint in their passenger door. (this works best with trail tyres and white taxis)

Of course you've only "heard" about this.... ;)

[Mental Trousers]

What is required is a burnout approximately 1.5-2.0m from the open window with the back pointing directly at the open window. For some reason retards don't like tyre rubber in their hair and tyre smoke everywhere.

I've always found the agonising screams of the victim at the ocular insertion stage of their application to attract far too much unwanted attention.
However once the tracheostomy phase is completed it becomes far too difficult to scream, at which point I guess the ocular insertion stage could be performed, albeit, a little out of what is generally accepted as the normal sequence of events.

Or you could have just given him a damn good kicking.

The more I've been reading the posts the more I'm thinking that threatening him with a severe arse-kicking was the best course of action.

This is a very militant board.....it's awesome !!
Come the revolution !!!!!!

[magicfairy]

There is a disabled park next to the bike park I use. Always seems to be used by couriers, people waiting for others. On some occasions, if the mood takes me, I whip out my cellphone and take a couple of pics, making sure the driver and rego are in the pic and that they see me doing it. They usually bugger off, or move the vehicle. Quite funny really, they must think I am sort of Council spy.
I imagine them worrying for the next few weeks about parking tickets arriving in the mail!

[slimjim]

bro, violence is not needed:doobey: cause you never know when the wanker may decide pay back ,and your bike is more than his 4by4,:innocent: but standing over the problem is good, and writting the rego and details down really makes them sweat more, cause its your right to forward it to the infringement office,:rockon:

[Macktheknife]

Im sorry did you say you had done something wrong....
Im not seeing it.
I support your actions and would be doing the same myself, in fact I have done very similar several times. Good for you.
Ask nicely once then get out a can of whoopass!

[metric]
