You see a beautiful car parked away from all the other vehicles..

Parking next to them just to irritate but not actually interfering with their vehicle is not the same thing obviously.

They don't have to damage vehicles if you park close to them, they can straddle across from the passenger side or wait for the person to return that trapped them.

Intentionally damaging a motorcycle /= parking close to someone

You have a fucked up sense of justice if you believe that.

It would be more related to trapping a motorcycling so it couldn't leave the parking lot without rubbing up against the car trapping it.

You are also relating no damage (you can touch paint softly and not leave a mark) vs potentially thousands of dollars in damage.

I think it's hilarious that some of you would park beside a car in the back out of spite. However douches that take 2 spots deserve whatever spiteful people dish out. Like AL I try to park with one side to a curb to restrict parking lot asswipes that just want to hassle me.

We aren't on the same page. I'm not saying either one is right, they are both wrong, but you're coming from the "i have a shitty car so I dont give a shit" whereas I'm coming from the "i loved my car and I hate the people who park next to me and hit my fenders with their door" crowd.

Someone pushing your bike over or mine for that matter, is the same thing to me as the assholes who hit my car when I go out of my way to keep it out of their way. I'm not talking about those someone just parking, as I stated earlier, I'm talking about asshats who damage other peoples cars because they can.

If you're (not you, just for example's sake) a douche and park your bike so close to someone else's car they can't get into it, honestly, while it's not right, I can see why they would push your bike over. Why do you have the right to stop them from entering their vehicle in any manner when they aren't interfering with your right to enter or get on yours?

Edit to add: for the argument's sake, I am talking about using only one parking spot, not being a douche and using several to keep people away.

No, parking so close that she is forced to do that.

If someone is in their spot, I don't do that. I don't do it if they are taking two spots far away. I still park next to them and not in the next stall, just straddle the lane as well. Just give them room to get in and out.

If they take two spots close up, they get fucked with.

I also don't bash my car into theirs or my door. I don't do any damage.

OK... I was within my lines. Straight, square, just like the others around us. She wasn't. And, I'm guessing she did it often enough to know how to get into her vehicle.

Hey, did y'all know up until September of last year no one took a behind the wheel exam in Texas to get a drivers license? It shows.

[the chi]

So you aren't that big an asshole.

(Like I didnt already know that, but I promise to keep your secert safe. Oh, wait. Oops. )

[Tmall]

Who ever said anything about damaging their vehicle or inconveniencing them? You guys just make shit up as you go?

I just think it's hilarious if somebody is so anal they intentionally park as far as possible away from the common folk. So, I park in the spot next to them so they effectively wasted their time...

WTF?! I had to take a drivers ed course and pass back in the day...but it got me out of taking the test at the DMV.

I guess the question for me is why? Why would you go out of your way just to fuck with another human being? Why does it make you happy/smile/fill you with some sense of accomplishment? Like Chi said, you don't know what that person went through to get that car. How hard they worked. So what if they want to try and keep it ding free, what's wrong with that?

I'll tell you guys what, from now on whenever you see a "pimped out", on 26'' rims Escalade/ Impala/ Yukon or other obvious drug dealers/hoodrat's car, parked far from the front door at Walmart. Go ahead and park right up next to it so they can't get back in and have to wait for you.
