I understand how you feel. The driver of the SUV could have felt it was just another parking space, but no need to park that close to where there was a chance of door dings. Plus making it difficult for you to get into the car was very inconsiderate.

Well if you were in either the subway or the t-mobile, then you clearly have terrible taste and got what you deserved. Not sure what press for less is either but it seems like a mistake too.

I still cant say I wouldnt enjoy to see their reaction after they come back to realize someone has accidentally poured a gallon of paint stripper all over their vehicle, but maybe thats just me
Their tuna is actually free of any chemicals and preservatives , although the rest of their meat is on par with the same stuff your dog eats out of the can

In looking at that SUV with the little 25 kids window sticker, I would assume that is some dude who envy's what you have and hates that he has to drive an old Toyota Highlander... That was deliberate! You actually left all kinds of room and that *** hat intentionally parked on top of you. What a douche!
I had seen this many times on my local mall, soccer mom that make the turn and that's the way they leave the flipping car. One time I saw one that did that and kept the car next to it from pulling out. I don't know what happen when the person came back but the other dude was crazy mad.
For the record, I like Subway

Lol, sorry to disappoint you but we were in Chili's for a cheap lunch date. It was also pretty early in the day so most spots were vacant So I figured it would be fine. I normally don't take this car out for food runs exactly because of this reason.

I go to harris teeter instead, where I can get a better sub for cheaper, and park my vette 3/4 of a mile from the nearest car

@ Hoosiervette and @ BlackandTan2004 -
Luckily I don't weigh as much as I did 3 years ago, but I help onto the door while opening as much as I could while smashing my fingers a bit with the truck. Didn't want to ding my car, so my fingers took some pressure.
@ Black02 - Wow, that's just being a dick. So much room on that left side of the truck.
So many ideas running through my head, but no decided to be the 'bigger' person. Yet makes me wonder what is wrong with society sometimes. The nerve.

I'll eat subway in a pinch, but when you need as much food as I eat every day, spending $10 on a mediocre(at best) sandwich and no drink makes you angry.

I need to eat less food, not more, so subway is a good way to limit my intake of calories when I'm counting.

So yea this happened today. Parked far away, went in to eat, came back out and struggled like hell to get in. Grrrrwwwww.. 
P.S. What made it worse was that all of the parking spaces on my side were made for COMPACT cars too. No respect at all. The nerve of some people. Luckily no dings.

I was at lunch the other day and parked my Vette in the last stall and far to the right which put me further from the spot to my left. As I was sitting there, I watched a beat up older car pull into a spot two spaces away from mine. There were three very heavy set people in the car. The two in the front looked over at my car, pulled out of the spot they were in and proceeded to park right next to my car.
I watched as two of the very large people on the passenger side, flung open their doors. They opened them so hard the doors swung back towards them so they had to open them twice.
Thankfully, I had parked far enough to the left that the doors narrowly missed my car. If they had parked as close as your photo, they would have left some damage.
I just don't get people. They have no sense about them.

Sorry but this kind of reckless disregard when parking, happens all of the time. Just because others care nothing for their rides, does not mean everyone shares their opinion.
SUV drivers are without a doubt, the absolute worst.

I keep a handful of these business cards in my glovebox. It won't make bad parkers any better, but it makes me feel better knowing I was able to let them know what idiots they are.
...and I have some that are much more profane for the real idiots.

I would bet most likely they are not even aware of you not being able to get in.
People do this to me all the time at work, l leave nasty notes and tell security, nothing comes out of it.
One time had to open the window to get slither in left door.
People are both oblivious and inconsiderate, no excuse for either.
