What I do is carry a gallon jug of pure water with some really bright food coloring that looks like blood or slime or something.

Just pour some on the ground around the car where you don't want somebody to park. If it looks like blood set down some fake rodent guts. Nobody's gonna park there

I park my plastic Corvette right in the middle of everyone....f it....hit it, I don't care. At this stage, parking out in the lot only makes it worse it seems...everyone wants to be a douche. I just select my spot as wisely as I can, not all they way out, but partway and make sure I am in the middle of the space EXACTLY so as to give the failures of America room.

Don't let it eat your gut away. You could have parked even further out. It doesn't hurt to walk.

No, it doesn't. I walk 72 holes of golf a week when I can and walk 4-5 miles a day when I can't. Parking the Corvette as far away as possible is not really a problem for me.

Kindred spirits. Given the option I will always walk and carry my bag, best way to enjoy the game!

I enjoy the game itself, playing well and getting a feel for the course, and walking is the best way to do it.


Then at the 19th hole!

Don't you just hate it when you stop at the turn to grab a hotdog and a beer and come out to see some inconsiderate nincompoop has parked his cart so close you have to climb through his to get into yours.

That happened to me in my 2014 SUV just last week. The only way to get in to my car was to open the door as much as possible, hitting their car with my door. So I did.

Gota use your imagination here...

If you keep a sense of humor, I mean, if its just a fake as a joke. You are parking and see this next to a car...


"kids! Don't look!" It isn't real and should be clean enough to eat. So the birds start picking at it... eye eating crow Play Diablo

story of my life.

I am convinced people do it to purposely **** with me.

Same thing happened to me at In N Out last week. Parked far away from everyone. On my right side was a divider in the parkinglot with a bush and no one around me. I came out 15min later to a beat to **** old white mercury sedan parked RIGHT next to my drivers side

The nerve of some people. Just a little common courtesy would be nice. Maybe an occasional bended knee when I drive by would be ok too.
