Strange Carpark Neighbour
-
I have this current ongoing experience at the multi-storey carpark I park in.
While it is understood that even though we pay for our season parking in HDB multi-storey carparks, we don't actually have any rights over any particular lots that we park in. But, it is natural that most if not all motorists, WILL usually park in ONE particular lot all the time. Am I right so far?
Ok, I see that usually people will park in one particular lot every day, or if on rare ocassions when the lot is taken, will park in the next nearest lot.
There is this one strange fellow, who drives a Honda Civic, who doesn't really have a particular lot that he parks in, and he parks in different levels on different days of the week. And as if he has some strange pattern to follow, he'd park in my usual lot for a couple days, then go on and park in the lot my neighbor always parks in, and go on to others. And at the end of the week, I'd find him parked on the ground floor in someone else's usual spot.
Could anyone here, tell me, what kind of practice is this? I know he has not committed any crime. It's not WRONG to park in any lots in a public carpark. But I just can't help wondering WHY, he does this weird pattern of parking in people's regular lots?
Enlighten me.... -
He has this phobia about people like you learning his habits. So he makes his moves as unpredictable and random as possible so you'll be puzzled enough to ask others for opinions.
-
don think so much.....
maybe just nice the lot is vacant at the time he returned mah.....
for me, i just park at any vacant lot avaliable lor.....
don have any usual lot for me....
-
i tink he juz wanna try diff positions lahz..
nothing to worry
-
Maybe he is the most lazy one. Will just shot on any slot randomly or as he seems it.

Actually not he lazy..its Shutterbug very hardworking go and study his parking lots...Originally posted by LittleTiger:Maybe he is the most lazy one. Will just shot on any slot randomly or as he seems it.
The most important thing is no one 'book' any particular lots.
My father's place got one farker..always park at the special lot which is alone by itself in the multistorey carpark. If anyone parks that lot...that car sure kenna scratch. But that farker's car always park there and nothing ever happen to it..so we noe that farker 'book' the lot. -
actually tis is a good practice lor..
kinda prevent against car thiefs from bio-ing his vehicle..

Let me point out to you guys here, that the multi-storey carpark I am talking about, is in a new estate. And there are PLENTY of vacant lots from the 2nd floor upwards. Only about 10% of this carpark is occupied.
Sometimes, I'd find this strange fellow's car parked way up on a deserted floor with no other cars in sight.
If he's parking for security reasons, I don't know what kind of security sense he has, parking in a floor with not a soul in sight.
My neighbors, friends, and peoples in general, will park so that they can see their cars. Therefore, people stick to particular lots.
I am fully aware that NO ONE, have ANY rights to any one particular lot. But nonetheless, taking people's regular space is somewhat disruptive and rude. Although it is not a crime.
Car scratching at the multi-storey carpark at my estate is difficult to do without being noted or spotted. Because the carpark floors are only about 30 meters away from surrounding blocks. Even if one resorts to crwaling on his belly to reach a car and scratch it, you'd still be seen.
So people generally park near windows of surrounding blocks, and residents will have particular lots they will stick to. This guy is like going around making people's day by taking up their usual choice of lots. -
Your evidence suggests he might be intentionally doing it. If that's the case, his head could be wired differently. Better stay clear.
Since no one has a right to any particular lot, there's nothing you can do. Don't waste time lah... -
maybe he doesnt want his car to get scratched..in case he has offended someone.Originally posted by ShutterBug:I have this current ongoing experience at the multi-storey carpark I park in.

nothing wrong what?? what's so weird abt it??? i do that also...i dont find anything weird...i think i find u weird instead...I just find any lot that i see close to the exit no matter which level if available i just take upon my own convenience. My house carpark ground level then B1 and B2....i parked anywhere anytime...i dont see why ppl need a particular lot on the normal public HDB parking area...there is one skyline at the multi storey carpark, he parks anywhere sometimes near the staircase...sometimes in the middle of the other lot which is closer to the lift...sometime he parked at b2 which is not close to anywhere...also my house quite new..in sengkang...all lot very free...but the skyline also park anywhere one...Originally posted by ShutterBug:I have this current ongoing experience at the multi-storey carpark I park in.

I dun think anything wrong wif that...maybe he parked at ur lot n u r not happy...maybe next time u can use a rubbish bin to put at ur lot...he might not notice that this particular car always parked at the lot since u say ur carpark is very empty,so its even harder to differentiate unless u look at the lot num....if u want,den next time juz tell him loh..he park way up maybe his doing some hanky panky biz...ha ha...Originally posted by ShutterBug:Let me point out to you guys here, that the multi-storey carpark I am talking about, is in a new estate.

Since those lots have permanent takers like u; he tinks the feng-shui there must be good.
Another possibility : he knows u can jagar his car on his behalf
If still curious...why not befriend him and find out the real reason. We wld like to know too! -
I will choose my lot only if it is a open air carpark.
Avoid lots nearer to the flats on Seventh Month, you all know why.
Avoid lots near trees during monsoon seasons, I have seen branches fell on cars before.
I parked in a MSCP and seldom I choose my lot unless I am going overseas for a period of time, then I tried to find a lot that is clearly visible from all angles. -
he's afraid of terrorists.... one of the advice given is: do not be predictable, so random parking, even though in the same MS carpark....
-
Security Question:
For security, is random parking ( even in secluded lots ) better, or parked in full view of surrounding flats in a chosen predictable lot, a better option? -
very obvious he is adopting the daily pattern of a typical smart foreigners working in Iraq.....
the insurgents are watching him closely...
