You'd have an aneurysm if you lived in Europe.

Parallel parking dictates contact with both the car in front of and in back of the spot you are trying to squeeze into.

Was living in a condo complex once. There was a guy in the complex that used to stand at the curb to the parking spaces and smoke. He smoked some weird off brand that probably no one within 50 miles had ever heard of.

One day I go out to my car and notice a butt on the rear bumper of the wifes White 240. Upon investigation it's the same brand that the guy smokes and it had slightly melted and discolored a small part of the bumper cover.

Come back from my errand and he's out smoking so we exchange greetings and I say, "do me a favor and watch where you flick you butts, one landed on the wifes car and did a bit of damage."

He immediately gets all defensive at the accusation claiming he's not the only one that smokes out there. I agree and tell him that the butt I found on the car was the same brand as his and no one else around here smokes them. Damage is not a big deal but please be more careful in the future.

He gets even more belligerent and I lose my patience with him.

Long story short it very quickly degrades into a physical altercation with police being called. No one presses any charges.

Few days later he comes over and apologizes.

Life's to short for petty crap like that.
