Default Holiday Shopping Rules

Rule No. 1: When waiting for a parking spot, stop in the middle of
the road, don't signal, and orient your car diagonally to prevent
others from passing.

Rule No. 2: Always park on the lines, taking up as many spots as
possible. Diagonal parking is preferred.

Rule No. 3: In a crowded parking lot, if you find a spot and have the
opportunity to pull through to an adjacent one, drive up halfway and
stop on the line, taking both.

Rule No. 4: As you pull into a spot, if you see that the space ahead
of you is empty and you see another driver signaling to take it, pull
though and take it from him.

Rule No. 5: Always park close enough to the adjacent car so that the
other driver must grease up with Vaseline to squeeze into his or her
car.

Rule No. 6: When getting out of your car, hit the adjacent vehicle
with your door really hard.

Rule No. 7: When driving through the parking lot, ignore the painted
lanes and drive diagonally from one end to another at a high rate of
speed.

Rule No. 8: When stopped in front of a store and waiting for a
friend/relative to make a purchase, make sure that you are stopped in
the middle of the road. The same rule applies to picking up and
discharging passengers.

Rule No. 9: When a vehicle from the opposite direction is signaling
and waiting for a parking space, position your car so that you are in
his way and let the car behind you take it.

Rule No. 10: If you have handicapped license plates, use up a regular
parking spot.

Rule No. 11: If you hit the adjacent car with your door and leave a
dent, wait for a car, which is painted the same color as yours, to
drive down the aisle looking for a place to park. Then back out,
giving up your spot like "Mr. Good Guy," and park somewhere else.

Rule No. 12: If the vehicle in front of you stops to let a pedestrian
cross or another vehicle turn, pull into the lane of opposite traffic
and attempt to pass him.

Rule No. 13: When exiting a shopping center into a busy road, exit
through the narrow "ENTER ONLY" driveway, stick the nose of the car
into traffic, and wait.

Rule No. 14: When driving through a parking lot with alternating
one-way aisles and angled parking spots, drive the wrong way. Then
when you see a parking space, take 20 minutes to do a 12-point turn
to pull into it.

Rule No. 15: Always leave your shopping cart behind or tightly
between parked vehicles.

Rule No. 16: Empty your ashtrays on the ground in shopping center
parking lots. While you're at it, dump out all the garbage, too,
including that Wendy's or McDonald's bag sitting in the back seat
from breakfast.

Rule No. 17: If you are forced to change an infant's diaper in a
parking lot, leave the soiled diaper under the car next to you.

Rule No. 18: When another vehicle is waiting for you to pull out of a
spot in a crowded parking lot, take your time. Adjust the mirrors,
your seat, and the radio. Roll down your window, light a cigarette,
and eat your lunch. Feel free to go through your shopping bags and
look at what you just bought.

Rule No. 19: When pulling into a parking spot, if there is a shopping
cart in the way, lightly tap it with your bumper and send it rolling
into another car. Then, when you step out, if the cart is still too
close, push it down the parking lot aisle and let it go. While the
cart is flying solo, turn around and walk toward the stores.

Rule No. 20: When walking back to your car in a busy shopping center,
gesture to other drivers waiting for a spot to make them think that
you are getting in the car and leaving. Then walk between the cars to
the next aisle and do it again.

Rule No. 21: When shopping at the mall, which requires you to load
your bags into the car and go back in to do more shopping, do NOT
tell the driver who is sitting patiently watching you load your car
and signaling for your spot.

Rule No. 22: When walking back to your car, if you notice other
shoppers walking past your car to get to theirs, press the buttons on
your key chain remote so that your car's alarm makes a sudden loud
"BLOOP BLEEP" that scares the crap out of them.

Rule No. 23: If you don't see a speed limit sign posted in the mall's
parking lot, there isn't any!

Chris when you have the 92 out first wait till someone is next to the car hit the remote start then when they are looking which of course everyone looks at Vettes hit the window roll down feature and have them see that nobody is in the car. It always works !!
