guarding her parking spot

If it's "her" parking spot why does she need to guard it? And if it's not an assigned spot how does she keep people from parking there while she's home?

If she's home, the car is most likely in said parking spot.

I do, with my medical problems may be able to walk there, but getting back could be a problem. It also depends on how much stuff she is buying. A light trip one or 2 bags no problem a whole week's worth, plus food for the spot saver, could be a little much to carry.

I've seen some people do that, that's why around here the carts have locking wheels, helps with some of them.

When you're buying a lot of groceries would be my guess... Most people do weekly, bi weekly or monthly shopping trips for stuff that will keep (canned goods for example) and will fill up a cars trunk with several trips back and forth to get everything unloaded. The perishables are for the occasional trips within walking distance where it's a bag or two of stuff.

I have a small car. If I filled the trunk, and ate that in a week, or even two.... guess I'd look like an American.

And if you're eating it in a week or two, why the "stuff that will keep" disclaimer? You're not keeping it.

how old does a kid have to be to not be held criminally negligent for having him/her sit outside their residence unattended?
 
2017-12-14 11:38:54 PM  
I lived in a condo for a while, and we had assigned parking spots, but only one per unit. If you had a 2nd car you had to park on the street. Everyone that lived there was good about not parking in spots that were not theirs, but visitors would park wherever. So I had a little traffic cone I'd put in my spot when I left to discourage strangers from parking. Inevitably, someone would just plow it over and park in my spot. So I'd just pull up right on their bumper, lock my car and go inside. Then I'd watch out the window to see who came to the car, and would watch while they tried to figure out who it belonged to. They would end up knocking on doors, and since everyone had the same issue, people would just shrug "I dunno" when asked if they knew who was blocking them. Since I lived on the 2nd floor, it would take a while for them to get to me. If they were apologetic about it, I'd say no problem and move the car. If they got nasty, I'd say I was eating, you gotta wait and shut the door in their face.

Given the incident was reported as having occurred at 10pm, maybe old enough to drive unattended during the same hours? 16 or 17 seems to be the safe bet. She should have used the buddy system.

Laws vary by state, but I think the vast majority of them, it's older than six.

/At 10 PM, a responsible parent/guardian should have had any child that young long since in bed, unless it's extraordinary circumstances.
//Grocery shopping doesn't count as extraordinary.

Meaning it won't go bad. It helps with budgeting and meal planning not to mention that when stuff that will keep goes on sale you buy as much of it as you can. You might not eat it all this month but it's on your shelf and not the grocery stores shelf. If you're going to the grocery store every day then you're wasting a lot of your time and if you drive there a lot of gas as well. If you go once a month and fill up a shopping cart you're probably saving a lot of time in comparison.

Subby here. The apartment complex is no more than 500 feet from the grocery store (which by the way Publix rocks and I shop at that very store all the time). I think she could have rolled the groceries home, unloaded, then returned the cart. All with the kid with her. And because of privacy laws, I don't know if the kid is her kid.

That's not a new way.  I used to do that for my mother when we lived in Florida.  Except:

I was 8, not 6.

The grocery store was a mile away, and...

I'd set up my GI Joe assault tower and mobile command center in the spot, and me and my friends would "occupy" the spot.  Very few adults had the nerve to try to move five Florida Section 8 Scruffians out of their tactical control area.

Wrong for what? Parking on the street? Get the fark out of here.

If you told me you'd be out to move it after you finished whatever and I was in one of my older cars I wouldn't be waiting around, you'd find your car bumped back a bit when you got to it.

Reading comprehension is not your strong point. ASSIGNED PARKING SPACES. The first goddamned sentence. And I drove a beater, so I didn't care if some moron like you did try that. Now YOU get the fark out of here. Learn to read,

Yep I farked up, my apologies.

No worries. I'm guilty of the same. Let's go ride bikes!


Well street signs are meant to be easy to read, maybe I'd be ok on a bike right now..

Boo_Guy: LittleSmitty: Boo_Guy: LittleSmitty: Boo_Guy: LittleSmitty: Boo_Guy: LittleSmitty: I lived in a condo for a while, and we had assigned parking spots, but only one per unit. If you had a 2nd car you had to park on the street. Everyone that lived there was good about not parking in spots that were not theirs, but visitors would park wherever. So I had a little traffic cone I'd put in my spot when I left to discourage strangers from parking. Inevitably, someone would just plow it over and park in my spot. So I'd just pull up right on their bumper, lock my car and go inside. Then I'd watch out the window to see who came to the car, and would watch while they tried to figure out who it belonged to. They would end up knocking on doors, and since everyone had the same issue, people would just shrug "I dunno" when asked if they knew who was blocking them. Since I lived on the 2nd floor, it would take a while for them to get to me. If they were apologetic about it, I'd say no problem and move the car. If they got nasty, I'd say I was eating, you gotta wait and shut the door in their face.

I hope at least a few Kramered their way out of that space.

Nope. Most people apologized because they knew they were in the wrong. And what would you have done? My bet is not a damn thing but apologize too.

I'd probably hurt myself. I've been in auto wrecks and motorcycle wrecks. I managed to hurt myself worse on a bicycle than anything else. Evel Knievel was at the top of his game when I was a kid. Bad choice to emulate....

Tax dollars spent on prosecuting and incarcerating this woman = ok.

Tax dollars spent on preventing this nonsense and reducing overall court and medical costs = not okay.

As far as crimes go, this is really low on the list.  If the lady had littered, that would have done more actual damage than was done.

But now the cops are involved, mom is a criminal, will end up paying fines and some government agency is going to be following them around until the child is 18 or something.  I hardly see how that helps.

/I'll lay you odds that whoever filed the complaint wanted the parking spot.

fragMasterFlash: She cannot be bothered to walk across the street to the market? I bet google streetview shows a ton of shopping carts abandoned at that apartment complex.


About 1000 ft as the crow flies.
Or "just a jump to the left"

fusillade762: Driver: fusillade762: guarding her parking spot

If it's "her" parking spot why does she need to guard it? And if it's not an assigned spot how does she keep people from parking there while she's home?

If she's home, the car is most likely in said parking spot.

Makes sense, I guess. But who the hell takes their car to go to a store that's across the street??


Can you carry a weeks worth of groceries all in one trip for almost half a mile? She probably buys an entire carts worth unless you think it's ok to push a cart all the way to your house.

There's an apartment complex about a block and a half from the local Walmart that has at least 20 carts in the parking lot.

bughunter: Oh, and GI Joes were 11-1/2" tall back then, so it tells you how long ago that was.

/kung fu grip was a new technology


I too remember the "now with  the kung fu grip!" Commercials. I never quite understood the appeal of gi Joe. If I was going to get a doll it would be Barbie as I found her slightly arousing but that was frowned upon back then for boys.

Oh, as I got older, GI Joe and his buddies used to go on raids to my sisters' room and kidnap Barbies.

The Barbies only pretended they didn't like it...

I thought you were talking about your 2nd unassigned spot.
