I don't have a problem with that. You can expect an inordinate number of sick/injured folks in a hospital parking lot. My boss is a former body builder and just had some serious neck/spinal surgery. He's no longer in a brace, but cutting 1000' out of his walk to/from the office door makes a difference for him. He doesn't even use it every day, just on his bad days. I'd like to think everyone is so honest, but I know they're not.

A GF in high school had a brother who was a star athlete, total jock, strong as an ox. His WWII vet grandfather bought him a car and, due to NJ's insane insurance, kept it in his own name, which got the jock a handicapped tag and he used it.

Really? Come on! You do realize that keying some asshoe's car makes you an even bigger asshoe.

Not you personally- oops.

Anyhow, I don't key cars, but I can understand.

Never give anyone a reason.

I agree, never give them a reason.

When I'm in one of my P cars, I park far away from the crowd (I don't mind the walk even in the rain) and always between the lines.

Some funny stuff here. http://www.buzzfeed.com/simoncrerar/angry-windshield-notes?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BuzzFee

The only time my vehicle got keyed. Was at a hospital parking lot. In the farthest part of the lot. I parked my truck ( not jacked up, but bigger than the compact that most spots seemed aimed at) in the only open spot I could find. And the spot was crowded by the car in the next spot. So I squeezed in close to or on the line.
Well. Someone took offence and keyed the down the whole length of the truck. WTF

I guess I could have driven a couple blocks and parked in a nearby Walmart lot. And walked back. But did'nt want to miss visiting hours.

Oh well I knew it was tight when I squeezed in there. So I guess I was setting myself up for it. Was more concerned about my friend I was going to visit.
Guess s--t happens

Aways take a pic of the situation (before) with the other car tag in the pics.

They sing like canaries when the cops show up at their home for questionning :D:):D

Now that's funny.

What time was it when that pic was snapped? I've pulled into a lot at 3 am when there's no one for miles around and just landed the car to run into the post office to drop off mail.

Sorry, but that makes you the ultimate jackoff. I adhere to the Pulp Fiction rules - you don't eff with another man's car.

The quick Post Office stop douchebag.

Apparently she pulled in from the road and parked it right there. Partly in the pathway, partly in the handicapped spot, partly on the sidewalk.... It was not just a "quick in-and-out" visit. She was inside checking her PO box when I arrived, and still there when I left. Not that those are not 'handicapped' tags on the truck, and there is not a temporary permit hanging on the rear view mirror.

About 12-13 years ago I was the store near my old house when a big gust of wind ripped the door of my truck out of my hand and right into the side of a brand new Lexus. I was pissed at myself for letting that happen. I sat there for 20-30 min waiting for the people to come out. They never did so I left a note with my phone number and told them to call me and I take care of it. The guy calls and is super nice. I explain what happened said I was sorry about million times. He told me not to worry about its just one of a bunch of dings the car will get over the years and probably the only note he'll get for them.

Truth be told, it was around 9:30 - 10:00 pm on a weeknight, so things were winding down at the strip mall. But it really isn't necessary to take up four spots now, is it?!?

the awesome chrome accessories give her the right to park anyhow/where she pleases.

People are idiots....

Had something similar happen at Home Disappointment when my cart rolled away and dinged the aluminum wheel well trim on a 4-5 year old Chrysler sedan. Waited for the owner, and a man and woman showed up. I explained, apologized; offered to make it right. She was livid, he was mellow. She wanted to take it to the body shop and send me a bill. I said I'd fix it... left my business card and never heard from them.

Some people truly are unaware and/or so self-absorbed they have no empathy for their rudeness.

On the road, all that is left to us is to use the horn (or Road Warrior front bumper) to alert someone of their hazardous or bonehead move. Stationary, as in a public lot, unless they're aware of their boorishness, some might only be aware by 1) leaving a note and/or 2) leaving evidence of someone's anger. Fake fecal matter on the windshield might be over the top, but a well-place 16p nail is pretty effective if not subversive.

I understand how some might want to vent their anger on the perp's vehicle, but a "Dear A** H***" note (downloadable from page X in this thread) might provide some temporary relief, and is suggested if only for one's karma.

Bill's face-to-face scenario is noteworthy if true :) . It can make people more aware and even mimic responsibility (nice concept). At worse, the interaction can also remind us there's a small minority of unrepentent zombies in our communities.

parking like a douche is one thing-

Parking normally and being whacked for having a nice car is another.

Gloves come off for the latter....

rjp

LOL, I thought the exact same thing. Any time I see someone with their car decorated with every piece of self-adhesive chrome trim that Pep Boys sells, I give them a wide berth. There are some outward signs of stupidity.....

We used to joke that "it looked like JC Whitney threw up on it" when we saw a vehicle with all the trimmings.

To each their own, I suppose. I don't want to MORE stuff to have to keep clean.

At Buck Owens' Crystal Palace tonight. In a full parking lot, too.

I know it's only a little bit over the line, but it's enough that I saw half-dozen people pass up the spot. They are probably afraid he cannot back out of the spot any better than he pulled into it.

This guy use to drive professionally and now he needs three spots.

I would park in the spot on the left in the picture and not pull in all the way.

always good to have a big piece of large caliber bubble wrap on hand...... roll up and place behind a wheel so when they (the malefactor) back up, the resulting sound will make them poop their pants.

Or a bb in the valve stem cap.

That's too much on the side of a prank and probably a disconnect from their unconscious parking strategy. People who habitually take advantage of others might deserve a stronger, more direct message.

straight down the middle.........no door dings :) But where did my fogs go?!
