Which car? Seems like nice co-op spacing to keep door from swinging onto bodywork. If I had the SUV, I'd also add a little angle to the vehicle to increase spacing to the common "hit" zone (door, one or both).

You're having lunch near me in Danbury and you don't let me know! You could have eaten your lunch while parked in my driveway.

These photos allow us to objectively observe some aspects of negative human behavior. IMHO, offending owners remain clueless and often repeat that behavior. Thus, they should receive feedback of this self-centered habit. At a minimum, they need a reminder - a note is appropriate, e.g. variations of the ones posted so far.

For more severe cases (YMMV), perhaps a 16 penny nail or an equivalent air-extraction strategy is called for. OTOH, a flat tire may be too subtle for these dullards to connect the dots. Include a note too.

More reasonable parking may not be realized, but repeated air loss could instead increase their level of paranoia. Call it even.

That happened to some jerk who parked a commercial van on our street in a way that took up 2 curbside spaces -- which were at a premium while the adjacent arterial was marked 'no parking.' One day I heard him drive off with a 'flop flop' sound and he got out to discover a completely flat tire. He never parked on our block again.

You should be able to leave her an anonymous and untraceable note (i.e. don't sign it, cut out newspaper letters, etc.).

I am actually on the other side of Rt. 84 off of exit 2, right across from the entrance to Boehringer Ingelheim.

I am about a 4 minute drive to the Peachwave.
