    I'm the type that always parks "out yonder"...I figure I need the exercise anyway. And if I ever get to the point where I'm in "that much of a hurry", I try to step back & slow it down some...
    And yes, it's amazing that no matter where you park, there will invariably be at least one car parked in the next spot over when you come back...

    I keep a pill bottle full of 2" roofing nails in my glove box for those "special" people...

    Long ago, I was at a party where there was an aquaintance making @$$...
    One of my friends & I went out into the winter night & took all the wheel covers off of his benzo, & laid two in front of the front tires, & two behind the rear tires.
    Then we waited for him to leave. We had large larfs watching him first pull forward, flattening the front wheel covers, then backing up over the rear set...
    Ahhhh...to be young again...

    No Thanks!...

    I see both side

    I see dicks who take up 2 spots because they think their **** doesnt stink. I park as close as I can to them to educate them. That is what the white lines are for people park between them In the event somone parks too close and I am in the correct paring spot area I simply adjust their passenger side mirror. It doesnt mess up either vehicl but is a pain because they have to get out walk around and adjust. I feel they might notice they are parked like ****.

    I have to say I think the flyers/fake tickets are the way to go. Those at least leave no doubt as to why they were received. When all the other tactics that have been listed are employed, there's no guarantee that the offender is going to realize why it happened, and as a matter of fact will probably drive off wondering why someone ELSE just behaved like an @$$hole "for no good reason".

    I see it all the time when confronted with tailgaters. When speeding up or slowing down doesn't work to get someone (usually talking on a cell phone) off my rear bumper, I just wait for an opening in oncoming traffic, move into the other lane, hit my brakes, and MAKE the tailgater move in front of me. But almost invariably, it's the tailgater who watches what I do, then drives on with a look on his/her face like they've just witnessed the actions of someone who has no idea how to drive correctly.

    I just think some of these more subtly employed tactics are lost on the types of individuals in question, whether it be tailgaters on cell phones who probably can't walk and chew gum at the same time, or parking lot morons who apparently think their name is painted on every space.

    Hmmm, good point. Ok, I guess it's two(2) snipped-off valve stems "AND" a flyer under the windshield wiper. Lesson learned.

    It's frustrating but you're playing with fire when you retaliate. As Trek said, chances are they won't even learn anything anyway, and if you're unlucky enough to get caught in the act, you may find yourself on the receiving end of don's dad's fist or in a police report. Plus there's always the chance that the offender gets back to his car before you do, finds your smart *** note, and drags a pocket knife down the length of your cladding to make HIS point. And let's face it, chances are that the body panels are more readily available on his Tahoe than your VX.

    So you may as well park as defensively as possible (not across two spots, that's just making yourself a target), take a deep breath when you see something stupid, and be thankful you have cladding where most cars have paint. Someone turns 16 every 8 seconds in the US, so unless you're prepared to get yourself a costume and cape and make this a full-time endeavor, you're wasting your time.
