Beware! Plenty a-holes with keys and other pointed objects!

Good one! It is one of my pet peeves, people who are so inconsiderate with their parking, especially when it is next to me.

Guess he'll try to get in on the other side and contort over the console?

And you would have been crying or screaming if the a-hole had retaliated!!!!
Remembering an incident about 30 yrs ago, My ex and I were at the flea market, parking spots not marked, we came back to the car and some A-hole had parked so close to us that when their passenger got out the car door rubbed through the paint on our left door. getting in our car was no big problem since it had a bench seat, now had there been no damage to our
car I would have said a few nasty words about his parentage and left. But I assure you it cost him more to repair his door than it cost me to repaint ours.
Did I break the law? yep, did I care nope, had I been caught I would have paid the fine and left let it go.
So the next time you out-a-hole think the hole may no give a damn.

If you spend that much for a car and park in parking lots, you should expect to have to pay for door repairs - just like the rest of us.

How about people who leave the shopping cart right in the middle of the parking space? I often shop at Aldi, and you have to put a quarter into the cart to use it. When you're through shopping, you return the cart and get your quarter back. There are never any left in the parking lot.

EDIT: It's funny how so many people block out the license plate when posting online, since the plates are clearly visible out in the real world.

Another good reason for shopping online -- very few shopping carts to deal with.

I agree, I was shopping at B&H Friday and my shopping cart was full (well as full as I could afford) and no cars were damaged.

And if everybody would shop on-line, besides not having to deal with shopping carts, we won't have to deal with brick and mortar stores, at all. We can get everything on-line including stuff like toothpaste, bread, milk, etc. All of it. People on this site keep bitching that most of the local camera stores have closed because they can't compete with on-line retailers.

Back in college, I was parked perfectly between the lines and the space next to my left was striped and had a concrete and steel column in the center of it to prevent anyone from using it. It was an access point to the sidewalk to the library. Yet, when I returned to my car, a VW Beetle, some axxhole had parked his (I think it was an MG) between my driver's door and the column preventing me from entering my car through my driver's door the way it was intended to be used. I was much younger back then and I could have used the passenger door, climbed over the shifter and driven off. But NO. I walked across campus, found my brother and a friend and the three of us walked back to my car, a VW Beetle. We lifted the back bumper of the MG and moved it over so I could access my car through the driver door, (as I was the driver, not the passenger). This let the MG with his front wheels against the curb and his back bumper against the concrete and steel column. No scratches, no dents, and he still had full access to both his doors.
As far as I know, they are still looking for the guy with the tan VW.

Some things can be safely bought online, others not. Try fresh produce and meats. I would not trust the judgement of some clerk to be as fussy as I am. Sometimes I have to test up to half a dizen or more mangos to get one at just the right firmness. I often have to inspect nearl every package to find just the right weight and least fat. These are things a ckerk can not be trusted to do right.

Sounds like you missed the point of my comment.

A shopping cart left behind isn't nice, but it doesn't bother me that much, I'll just move it. I kind of view it as an opportunity to walk some additional calories off.
I once pulled into the parking lot of a crowded hamburger restaurant, there was no where to park except for one spot that had some garbage piled up in it. I merely got out of my car and kicked the trash out of the way, which rewarded me with a prime parking spot.
