When you park far away because you have a nice car there will always be some ass wipe that will do that just to piss you off.

Ohhhhh, that happened to me recently, too! I was literally the only car in this row and Mr. Extended Cab Diesel Truck just had to park right up against me.

I park further out not only for the free extra exercise, but also so that I can open the passenger side of the door more easily to load up whatever few bags I may have. Plus, seeing around a big ass vehicle is harder in the vette, have to creep out slowly so that I don't get clipped by a passing car.

I've got a handicap placard so I typically have a nice gap on either side.

I masturbate and leave a nice glop of tapioca pudding on their door handle when they do this.

I've had that happen several times, and never gotten a door ding. Mr. Extended Cab Diesel Truck knows you're not going to hit him, and he's actually protecting one side of your car.

The roach Toyota....was just being a dick.

Leave a shopping cart in front/back of them when you leave.

If I was the dick in the Toymotor, I would have parked on the driver's side of the Corvette.

Trick is to park at the end of a row (preferably with a curb on one side) as close to the line as possible so that the only way they can ding you is park across your line. Doesn't always work but usually does. Problem is those spots go quick.

I try parking next to the shopping cart cage.....preferable on the driver side, so I can open the damn door.....



Another thing, WHY in hell they can't make parking lots with the diagonal parking, SINGLE ROW....drive in one way, and go forward out the other....simple, save all the backing out shit on a nose to nose shituation....seems that EVERY damn time I have to back outta some damn space here comes a parade of cars in both directions...meaning I can get killed from either way.....dumb ass designers....dunno shit, never drove a car....

I park wherever I want with my 2003 525i.
I drive it like I stole it and am past the point of it being perfect.
Things are much nicer that way.
I do, however notice new dings. I'm happy to reciprocate .

Take up 2 spaces and they won't be able to get close to you.
