You're just lucky she didn't have a passenger who needed to get out with your car "in the way"

Exactly.
Many people are just clueless, just as many are crappy drivers. Big truck vs average sized parking space and this happens all the time. Shocked the OP thought it was worthwhile to go in and page the driver. Seriously just get in the passenger side and go about your day. I mean in my book being so self absorbed to make and issue and start a post about it is worse than the poor parking job.

Lucky day.
That's what I thought-that the reflection on the rear bumper was damage.....

May not be so easy to do depending on the size of the driver. And depending on age and physical ailments, it would be probably impossible in such a small cabin.
It would be nice if the driver of the truck was not so self absorbed that she could not just look back to make sure that she parked straight.

I saw a Raptor park in a compact spot a few months ago, it was ridiculous.

This particular case sounds like it was just a careless parking job and not deliberate.

I saw this one recently...

I wonder if the a-holes (above) will have their sights on the Taycan when they start showing up. Weird.

Why even give someone the satisfaction of acknowledging they inconvenienced your day by confronting the offender? That’s what they are hoping for. Don’t give them that.

Look at the bright side: someone totaled my Carrera, your beautiful Carrera stayed un-touched.

Happy Hollidays

That's hilarious, and not sure why I never thought of it.

But a few strips of stick on tire weights might might throw them off for weeks.

On the plus side, we live in a country where we are free to speak out. On the plusser side, when idiots speak out they reveal themselves, and eventually get screwed.

Wow! You sure those are the only two “options”? I realize I am on a “rich guy car forum”, but this is a new one for me.

If you have not yet realized, not everyone cares about cars like we do. Not everyone is as considerate as some would like. Some people are struggling to just get through the day.

I am amazed the OP had the audacity to call out the driver over a store telecom to move for him. Not sure who is more of the D-Bag here.....

I think OP called out driver because he could not open his door wide enough to get in.

He couldn’t get in his door to leave. He had to contact her. Maybe you’re built like Gumby, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to squeeze in there and am not going to attempt to climb across from passenger side.

I have to agree, and why take the chance of scraping something while climbing over. Personally I would have waitied a little bit before trying to find the owner but if I were really pissed at the time I probably would have done the same thing.

Yup, Ill publicly shame someone who parks like an *** 100% of the time. If I were in my LR it would be nice to just hit it on the way out.
