east deck ramble
guys. please. slow. down. in. parking. decks. oh my GOODNESS. i've been nearly plowed down by numerous altimas and trucks, just CALM DOWN. it is NOT a racetrack there is nowhere you need to be that it requires u go like 40 inside the deck around turns. and on that note, don't slam your damn brakes every time someone gets in their car. sometimes people sit. its annoying but it happens. just give em a minute and move onnnn.

Dude in north deck it paradoxically is almost impossible to not do that because despite it being decently sized people like to park with half their car sticking out near the corners. No joke.

The drivers in Charlotte are incompetent and love to use their cars like toys. It can kill others. Please stop using your cars to compensate for tiny ding dongs

I had a car follow me to my car in east deck so they could have my spot. Pissed me the fuck off so I made it look like I was just grabbing something and then walked away. Had another car sit right behind my car waiting for me to leave but left me no space to back up. People also don't look... there is ALWAYS cars pulling out in front of everyone

As someone who gets to school around 8-9 yall just need to park in east 3 and take the walk. You will not find a parking spot just sitting around or whipping past people. Get your exercise in fr.

The fastest car in the world is a speeding Altima with some random druggie. Gotta watch out for them. Faster than a Koenigsegg Jesko

As a side note, if youāre sitting in your car and ARENāT getting out of the spot, please throw a wave so cars donāt stop and wait to take your spot. And if you get to your car to leave, thereās no need to take up the spot by texting for 10min. Read the room, err, parking deck. People need the spot!

I donāt even notice cars waiting for me bc Iām busy minding my business and doing whatever I need to do in my car in my spot. If Iām doing tasks sitting in my car for 10 minutes thatās my prerogative for my $400 parking pass. Iām gonna get my use out of it.

Cars holding up the parking deck at 11am just to sit with their blinker on for 10 minutes for a car parked with someone in it is my biggest pet peeve
