I don't know, I may have developed thick skin as I aged. If he starts denying, I don't think I would have been able to hold myself down--it would have been "unattended acceleration" of my arms! It is beyond words, just when I thought I've seen it all in life.
10 miles haha, you mean walking to the park? 
How did you keep your cool?

I park WAY in the back of the lot also. However, everytime I return, some idiots have parked on either side of me with attendent door dings. No one else around but three cars, mine in the middle. Some kind of human herding instinct. As a famous anthropologist once said, "Humans were a good idea in the beginning."

Absolutely correct!! I park WAY in the back, and invariably there is some landscaper who parks his truck, trailer with all it's loose tools in the back right next to my car, or the person that drives the hoopty who I surmise parks next to me just to piss me off. Can win for losing!
Now I look for someone with a nice car, or another luxury vehicle, and park next to them. Funnily enough, sometimes you will see a cluster of BMW's, Benz and Audi's all parking together as if to protect each other from all the other cars........

I forgot to say that I don't only park WAY back.
I also park over two spots straight or diagonally.
That makes you a parking lot idiot too, but If someone complains, you can always just apologize. Better than a damaged door and $2000 body shop bill.
I keep hearing arguments that a car is just a piece of metal, so what's the fuss - but for the sake of principles, that's like throwing a 200 pound rock over someone's house roof and then say "oh it's just the hole, what's the problem". People should just learn to open their doors like humans, not like retards, and the world will be a slightly better place to stay.
