Maybe it's not assholery but self preservation. By doing that he KNOWS the porsche guy will not ding his door, and he's got mega clearance on the other side ;-)

Meh, kidding... I agree. happens to me all the time... It's like the car is a magnet.

That would be a good way to make yourself feel like an idiot when the person doesn't give a damn that you're frustrated at how they parked.

Lonely people looking for some acceptance. Everyone wants to be associated with a winner😎

wonder if it would be worth it, as after you get the yelling done, next day to go to the gym you find a nice big scratch on your beautiful Porsche when you go to drive home

people are vindictive .

This is ridiculous. Get away with what? Parking in a designated spot within the lines? And what would you tell them?

No one works out 7 days a week. Why do you? Or are you exaggerating again?

i guess we simply approach things differently. i have no problem standing up for myself in situations like that. clearly, some of you do.

How is it that "standing up for yourself" is defined by confronting and scolding a person for parking next to your car?

probably half the people at my gym go 7 days a week. why would i exaggerate? it's not a big deal to go to the gym every day.

if you guys wouldn't say anything to something like that, that's fine. personally, based on that picture, i find that over the line. he said he could barely open his driver's door. it looked quite intentional.

first of all, i didn't bitch about the parking issue to begin with. the OP did. look at the photo below - in an entirely empty parking lot, someone parks so close to your car that you pretty much can't open your own door and you're not going to say something?

again, we all do things differently. that was not simply someone 'parking next to your car', imo. that person is a douche.

This happens to me all the time as well. I used to take my GTS to work but stopped doing it for this reason, luckily no dings yet on my car. Now weekend parking only...and on rare Monday Blue days

Kick the rice burners door in and be done with it. To log onto a message board and whine about it is really pathetic. Group therapy is not found here.

Still wondering why the OP did not answer the question - why did he take an image with his car alone". Hope we are not being trolled here
