Ok so I go to the post office and park at a vacant store front no one else around tons of parking spaces available... I am on my phone this peace of crap car pulls up next to me as I put the car in reverse this lady gets out and bam opens the door and hits my car... I jump out and totally went ballistic on her she said they make the spots to narrow and said she had the protective corner guard on her door... She had the whole darn lot to park by the post office but no.. Anyways no damage to my car thank God!!! I just do not understand these idiots and ignorance of some people!!!!

I don't care if it's my car, my wife's Saturn or my daughters Jeep. I would have done the same thing.

No excuse for people letting their door open that wide so it hits the car next to them, but it just goes to show you. never parking in a wide open area. Park where you are going and hope for the best. If it is that bad,don't drive your Vette. I try and find a space between some higher end cars or at the end of the row were my passengers side is against the curb and hope that the person that parks next to me is alone, that way the passengers door does not open. I never park out in the lower 40 or the empty lot.

I am trying to find this TV ad that's on now and then. It is of an entirely empty parking lot with a nice car parked in the middle of the lot. An old dirty pos Ford is screaming through the parking lot past the parked nice car. The Ford slams on the brakes with screeching and smoking, stops, backs up to the nice car and screams into the spot next to it with the drivers side just an inch from the nice car. Then the drivers door BANGS! against the nice car. This ad is hilarious because you can't help but think that's exactly how it happens.

Sorry, can't remember the ad or find it on the web.

I always park the farthest away from the stores. It is wide open out there and the morons won't walk that far. Even if it's an extra 100 yds... I don't care.

Not only are they stupid, they're lazy too. Use it against them.

I give you lots & lots of props for keeping your head the way you did. I don't mind telling you had I been in your shoes they would have had to call two people, the state police to take me away & the coroner to take her away.

This is why cars in the future will have 360-degree, 24-hour recording, because people are too stupid and inconsiderate. And it's not "people," it cretins!

Wow, that first spot is tight! They don't make them as wide as they use to. Costco is the only one I can think of......
