How is parking way out back, using one spot, acting like you're special. I do the same thing when I drive my Ford Ranger. Too many inconsiderate people out there who have no respect for others property...

It happens all the time. We stopped at a Mcdonalds and parked way out back and came out to find this.....

It was pulled by an old lady who had to go out of her way to put it there...

It's amazing to me how many people call others nasty names because they park near your car and cause no damage. It's no wonder Vette owners have a bad image for many people.

Did you leave a note on it calling her a jerk? I mean, the nerve to park anything anywhere near your Vette.

I guess she didn't want any door dings on her wagon..

As a contrast, the number of posts I read about people parking in the middle having any trouble are far fewer.
Personally I like to park next to the buggy returns that no one ever use since they allow you to park way off to the side of a parking spot and I have never had any trouble.

Happens all the time at the grocery store. And of course, mom won't leave a note with her contact info, that would be too civilized.

That's why in my car I have a handicap permit, NYPD captains parking plaque and a NYS court officers union representative parking plaque. Park wherever I want when I want. Don't bother to flame me because I don't care. My connections my privileges.

People are IGNORANT and do not respect others propertys and until the learn that..I will continue to DOUBLE park!
By the way..I ALSO park my 06 pickup this way...and after having it since new not one door ding from the IGNORANT!

Because I am interested in the Human species, I think I would have waited for the Honda owner to come out of the store and asked him / her: "I'm working on an essay on social behavior,would you mind telling me what thought process went through your brain that prompted you to park your car a foot away from mine, and 15 spaces away from any other car?"
Life is short, not worth a blood pressure boost, but inquiring minds want to know.
Some strange and puzzling specimen out there to put it mildly.

The other reason is that though its only "a car", I try to take good care of my things. Maybe you weren't taught to do so or maybe you just don't care. Or maybe you have enough $$$ so you can just get another one. Whatever the case, I will not apologize for taking steps to keep my things in good shape.

I'm sure you (and some others here) are always perfect gentlemen and always kind and understanding.....well, except of those writing posts with which you disagree,
Now, If I'm ever alone in a waiting room with seating for 100 and someone comes in and sits right next to me, I'll know it's you or one of the other perfect people on this thread who are so quick to throw stones.

I have personaly owned and driven many winter beater jalopys in my younger days and never once ever purposely sought out a high end sportscar parked way out at the far end of the lot and parked next to it.
That is just me, a middle class working stiff who has never resented wealthy people who have nice chit.
As it turns out after busting my *** my entire life I am probably now deemed by others as a rich man since I own a new GS.
I am responding here to say that I firmly believe this country has transformed into 50% who produce and 50% who suck the ***** of the producers. I am parlaying my thoughts as fully understanding where the OP iscoming from (short of leaving a nastygram on the window when there was now damage).
I saw this same thread here months ago about a gent with a vette park at a hhardware store way out by himself alone and he walked all the way across the lot and just before he entered the store he turned back to look at his car he saw some young punks purposely park next to him, doors slammed open making contact with the vette, and the kids laughing about it. The poster said he didn't react or encounter these punks but instead walked into the store and bough a huge spike and hammer. He said he left a hand written note on the hood of said ricer. Secured right through the middle of the hood with the spike hammered through it. I smiled when I read that story.
The jist of the OPs post is he and many of us have here understand respecting other people and their property and we simpley do not understand the opposite mentality of the useless non producer **** sucker and why it is they think the way they do.

If that were my Vette that he slammed his door against you can etch it in stone that I would be writing this thread from prison!

last week i went to applebees and parked in the back lot, no one around. i come out an hour later, there is an old oldsmobile parked next to me. what burns my a$$, we were the only two back there. now i ask, WHY? do people do this just to pi$$ us off? i checked for any damage on my passenger side, didn't see any and drove off in a pi$$'d off mood.

There are two reasons
1) collectivism. People tend to do what others do and so they will park next to people just out of nature/instinct
2) he wanted to protect his car by parking next to you
