Have you ever keyed a stranger's car?

Let's be crystal clear: If I saw you keying someone else's car, you'd be in some physical pain while I held you until the police arrived.

Okay, let's see. A PP would shoot OP, and now you want to be some sort of wackadoo vigilante. Hi, George Zimmerman.

I have called the cops to ticket other cars for parking illegally. I legitimately reserved parking spots for a move and the drivers disregarded the notice which made it EXTREMELY difficult for me to complete a move out of a condo in Kalorama.

I did seriously consider keying a car that had left huge scrapes on my vehicle while attempting to get into a generously sized spot.

I too would definitely call the cops.

I'm so excited. YOU did the right thing! That is, assuming you considered it; and then didn't follow through

I think we need people like OP. Asshole parking is a major annoyance but is generally unpoliced. The fear of keyers is what prevents more asshole parking.

I know that I take extra care to park to give the maximum room to people on both sides, and when I'm in a hurry it's the fear of keyers that makes me take that extra second or two to straighten it out.

The only parking job I'd say actually deserves a keying is the obviously intentional diagonal parking job, in a place/time where it's clear there will be limited parking. I'm talking full-on two spaces at 45 degrees, in a small parking lot or at Christmas time or something like that. To me, the dick who thinks that's going to keep his Hummer from getting a scratch should be proved wrong. Not that I'd do it myself. But if I were, that's who I'd get.

You live a small existence.

No way in hell I would do this. You really lack integrity.

word! The thought has never even crossed my mind. Even when I am sardined between 2 SUV's with 3 kids to load in my mini van...so many douches these days. This is just damn sad, people. Too damn sad.

OP, I'm waiting for you to key my car. Because people like you have no coping mechanisms. And I happen to have a camera in my car. Just waiting. In fact, I park on the street even though I have a driveway just to see what crazy people like you are up to.

Go ahead. Make my day. Your ticket will be mailed to you. If you are not arrested, that is.

So, you're a cop?

You have a camera in your car that runs 24/7?

Really? "the fear of keyers" makes you not park like an asshole? How about not parking like an asshole just because it is the decent thing to do?
