Have you ever keyed a stranger's car?

I am an adult and I would not purposely damage another's property.

Did it ever occur to you that the car may be parked "over the line" or however you see is inappropriate may be parked that way because preceeding cars had been parked like jerks, and that those cars are now gone? I'm a super courteous driver and I can't tell you how many times I've had to squeeze into a spot because cars that were already there had parked over the line. I just pray that if someone comes alone later they may realize that I wasn't the pig, it was the car before me, that's now long gone. And, yes, I've been keyed, but can't afford the repair so it just sits there. Thanks Bud.

Why would you permanently damage someone's car? Even smearing the mirrors is bad, but better than keying a car. Have you ever thought that a senior citizen with limited vision might have parked there, or someone who meant no harm, but had an emergency on their hands and was doing the best they could?

It seems that people have their own inconvenience in mind, and feel that they were slighted. Then respond with extreme, horrible measures.

This sucks.

It's a symptom of this whole culture of entitlement, where everyone has to be so offended by everything and strike back to show who's boss. Ugh. No civility at all.

Hey, sucks to be you. Pick another parking spot.

And curious how the entitlement label applies only to those of us who object to the behavior of people who actually did something entitled.

Here's an idea. . .Have a bunch of pine cones in your backseat, chuck them at the offender or their car, and make sure they stick around for you to apologize. Because after all, it is YOU who deserves to feel better or vindicated.

This works especially well in Bethesda.

I know. And more times than mot, It's not even their fault. It's usually a chain reaction of close parking caused by someone else down the line. Geez people.

If someone parks too close to me in a space, I feel no guilt opening my door hard into theirs.

Me too.

Goodness people. Sometimes I park really close to another car and just can't fix the parking job. I, however, exit through the passenger door not to ruin your car.
Assume ignorance, not arrogance on tje part of others and you won't have to boil with anger.

+1 And, even if this not the case, OP needs to address his/her anger issues. It's called perspective and self-control.
