what do i do about ignorant ppl?
there is a guy in my apartment complex that insists on parking in the fire lane all the time. the apartment people dont care/ do any thing about it. he has parked there for up to 9 hours at a time before. if i call the police to come give him a ticket it never fails that he moves his car before they show up.
any ideas ow what i could do to get him to not park there any more. it wouldnt bother me if he was unloading groceries or had to run in and grab his wallet, that would only take 2 seconds, but he parks there every day for long periods of time, any ideas??????

I say you shove a couple of firecrackers into his muffler...... when the exhaust gets hot enough it should set them off and scare the crap out of him.
Just make sure nobody sees you do it..... or pay someone else to do it..... I mean who knows the guy might be a gangster and cap your ass if he sees you messin with his ride.

yeah i saw him pull up at 6:10 and at 6:45 we were leaving to go look at a house. as i walked by my knee rubbed up against his front bumper and he came running out to ask me why i rubbed on his car. i told him that its a fire lane and that he dosnt need to park there be cause he isnt special, and he said "i told you id only be there for a minute" "yeah that was a half hour ago" i told him and he had nothing to say. he acts like he is the greatest thing in the world. what i would like to do is park my truck right on his front bumper, and get some one to park right on his rear bumper so he cant get out, but until we have a house i dont want to go any thing to get us in trouble. once we have our place all bets are off. if any one has any good ideas lemme know. thanks

Fake Parking Tickets
Although this gag is best utilized in an area where parking fines are really expensive, you can have fun with them in any town or city. The best time to use these is when you are riding with your friend and can slip one onto their windshield before you go into a store or the bank. I prefer the fake tickets where you can write in the amount of the fine so you can make it border on the line of unbelievably high, making their blood pressure rise in proportion to the amount they at first think they have to pay.
Even better yet, if you have a computer you can make your own fake parking tickets. I haven't tried it, but if you have a post office box you could try and see if your friend would even send you the fine, of course you should give their check or money order back to them after you receive their fake fine. Mail the check back to them with a note that says, "This was a fake parking ticket, dumb ass."
or another prank you can use is the,
Exhaust Pipe Prank
In many gag stores you can purchase an ingenious noise-making piece of metal that subtly fits over the tailpipe of an automobile. When the muffler passes warm air through the tailpipe, the car accessory will make a high-pitched squealing noise. The car's owner will believe they have a belt that needs sorely tightened. The harder you press on the accelerator the louder the squeal! I recently pulled this joke on one of my good friends but told his wife if he came to the point where he was going to take his Jeep in for repair, she should let him in on the prank. The squeal was so bad that he drove through town crouching his head because he was embarrassed to be seen by anyone he knew. He made an appointment to get the Jeep checked out but luckily his wife told him just before he left to take the sickened vehicle in for repair. Looking back, I really wish I wouldn't have told his wife anything, although the mechanic probably would have taken the piece of metal off without telling him it was the source of the noise and charged him $350 for a new "Johnson Rod".

Mofo,
Personally ? As tempting as all the "pay-back" suggestions are ? I wouldn't do any of em as it could end you up in court. Or even escalate into a road-rage type of war with the guy.
The apartment complex has those fire lanes designated for a reason, probably a local code required it for F.Dept access to apartments if a fire ever occurred. So, if one ever did ? And this guys car hampered fire department personnel ? He would be liable.
I think you could get his address/name etc. than notify the apartment complex owners/manager, give em the guys 411 and let em know your thinking about calling your local (city/county) code enforcement department.
And if they don't give you satisfaction ? Than call your fire department.
good luck !
