I'm with you for the first four ones outraygeous,
If Finland we don't have valet parking.
I usually park my car as safe as possible; in the middle of two spots, long from the entrance etc.

Thats what I do when I go to the mall or places like Costco. I'd park in the lot where there is no one. But when I come out from the store, I usually find someone else parking next to me (well one spot over). Go find your own spot people!!

bumper parking is so common now in larger east coast cities it isn't funny. i've taken snap shots sometimes of licenses plates when parking. if there was noticeable damage, i would report the license plate. and if enough, it would be a hit & run ticket.

I also take up 2 spaces wherever I go.
It's standard operating procedure here in Dubai, no matter what the car is! And in a place where you can look for parking for an hour+, it makes a person wish the keying mentality was here too... Kinda.

Hey, its all of you idiots from the suburbs that come into the city that don't know how to drive...let's make that perfectly clear! What schmuck from NJ, CT or Westchester knows about parallel parking??? They are all strip mall, pull in a lane and ding your car door dummies. Ahhhhh...now that feels better. Lol
