It Never Fails!!!!
I don't know about you guys, but when I go out to the store or the mall, I always park wayyyyyyyyyyyyy the hell out in east bumf@#k to stay away from the cars. When I come out, sure enuff there is always like 2 or 3 cars around me, and like 500 empty parking spaces closer to the door. What is it with these people????

Well, we are driving in Massachusetts, it's not like we should expect any courtesy on the road! I think I'll start taking my wife's car to the mall! I think people feel cool parking near an 04 F-150! (We know they aren't cool until they get one, but, what the hell)

You should know by now that a huge majority of people are actually sheeple. The need to be led and when someone sets a precedent even as minor as a parking location, the others are inclined to follow.
This is painfully apparent on the highway when a sheeple is in the left lane and goes the same speed as the person they should be passing, then when you finally get by them, they tailgate you.
It's ok, it's the natural way of things. As non-sheeple we need to recognize that and use it in our own best interest.

One thing you can do is park diagonally across 2 spaces, then they won't park parallel to you and door ding your truck. My wife has a handicap sticker, one thing I like about it is the spaces are wider which helps prevent the door dings.

A while back I read an editorial in one of the major cars mags, Car & driver perhaps,that did an article on such behavior in the parking lot.Two ways were mentioned for getting even, if they ding you.1)carry a box of tooth picks that you can jam into all the locks, sometimes preventing entry back into the vehicle.2)carry a rubber valve stem with the metal cap that is used to actually remove the stem,thus causing all of the air in all the inflated tires to escape.3)And one I came up with....a two part expoxy that can be injected into the locks.

Wow Boston! I thought I was the only one that happened to. I always "park wayyyyyyyyyyyyy the hell out in east bumf@#k" too. Do your friends give you grief about it. I always get comments about how it's "only a car/truck".

Where I work, the spaces are really narrow and a lot of foriegners work there (they just don't care, open the door as hard as possible no matter what or where, i see it every day, when they are not rying to run down pedestrians headed to their vehicles) so I'm always on the look out for new dings, I even record lisense plates of cars that frequently park near me and I suspect, a few times and I get ****ed, one time this guy parked me in on the drivers side for like three days straight, even with lots of other spaces available, so finally I just took a snow brush to his mirror, accidentally of course I was just trying to clean off my truck and he was way too close... A big sharp work key does wonders on paint too, accidentally of course. Wat goes around comes around.
