This afternoon I was waiting to back into a parking spot that a gentleman was leaving, I say Gentleman because I was circling the lot and He waved to me to inform me that he was leaving.. anyway while I was waiting for him to leave, I had my signal light on and the vehicle in reverse...when this Jerk came down, went around me and drove right into the spot... I tell you I almost red lined.. I got out and told him that I was backing into the spot. He said nothing... then with a louder voice I informed him again.. he walked around to the other side saying he don't care and he does'nt have to move... his wife was getting a little concerned and said that they should move, he did'nt listen, and proceeded to walk to the mall oblivious while I sprayed a couple of insults at him.. there were some people who witnesed this and just shook their head in disgust at him..I calmed down and found another spot and went and had a nice bowl of Turkey soup... there was more steam coming from me than the soup... it just burned me how Idiots can do things like this.. I know it's not the end of the world, but I wanted to get him,lol, so I was going to buy a sympathy card and put a note on it and address it to his wife and saying how sorry I was that she had to be Married to such a Jerk.. but I decided that that was to childish.. I'm above that.. so I just bought some Vaseline and smeared some under his door handle.... Revenge is better served cold. lol

LMAO!!!!!!! Cow manure would have been better, LOL. There was an idiot in his Mercedes SUV in front of me last night as I was going home. After the light changed, he eased off like he was afraid he was going to burn some gas. All the cars in the left hand lane were whizzing past us and this creep just kept poking along at half the speed limit. I was about to burst an artery! I was close behind him "encouraging" him to move it. He hit his brakes and my testosterone hit the red line. We played "try to make me rear end you" for the next few miles. He made three turns going to his house with me following right behind. He hit the garage opened and parked his precious gas guzzler while I slowed to a stop in front of his house. Hope he lost sleep knowing that I know where he lives. Vaseline huh? You can mix that with gasoline and make napalm; sticks like glue too.

Here’s one…. Track down where he lives. Wait a few months till it’s the middle of summer and he has long forgotten his bad deeds... plus the summer heat will play a role… Buy the biggest size of shaving cream you can get your hands on. You know, the stuff in the cylinder. Not the gel, the good ol fashioned white stuff. Throw it in your freezer for a day. After that, take it out of the freezer, and cut it half with a saw or something. Put both halves of cylinder in a cooler, then, track his ass down. Now remember it’s the middle of the summer so his windows are going to be down. Wait tell he finds parking spot (that he so eager claim). And chuck both halves of the cylinder in through his window. As both halves thaw, the foam will expand and fill his interior. Actually one half should be all you need… but you better throw in both just to be safe. That’ll teach him

Buddy and I were driving down a city street in the summer back in high school....we drove past a bicyclist on the road and he hawks up a big goober and spits out the window....nailing the guy on the bike.
We got a big laugh out of it, being the stupid juveniles we were.... and had the stereo blasting as we eventually pulled up to a stop signal.
All of a sudden, this guy appears next to the passenger side of the car...reaches in and punches my buddy in the cheek and screams bloody murder at him...the light turns green and I hit the gas squeeling the tires away from this assailant.
It was the bicyclist....he must have put his unit into high gear and peddled his gnads off to catch up with us about a mile down the road and had his revenge.
I bet he felt pretty vindicated after that.... I am just glad he didn't cave the side of my dad's car in with his foot.
Score 1 for the bicyclist....Lesson learned from us.
Ray - the *Mark of Zorro* is more effective....it sends a message of fear verses the straight line key scratch....at least this is what my wifes uncle told us once when he came out of a casino and found a car parked next to his new car so close way out at the back of the lot where nobody else was....and discovered the guy opened his door into his leaving a door ding.
He said he reached into his pockets and pulled out his keys and proceeded to carve a big gnarly "Z" in the side of his door and called it "the Mark of Zorro."

I should mention, I've never personally had a parking space issue....
Anybody knows me knows I'm a car nut and I absolutely hate the thought of anyone putting a ding in my door.....I like to keep my cars as showroom/ new car condition as I possibly can.
This theory backfired on my wife's uncle apparently...but most people don't like to walk....I don't mind walking.
So I have always parked way out in the far reaches of every parking lot and hike in to the store....so I've been lucky enough to avoid this type situation.

However, people like my sister used think it was funny to park her piece of crap truck as close to someone who deliberately parks out of the way to avoid dents. When my mom bought her family a new truck, she turned into a paranoid parker and started to complain about people who would do that to her now!
Car freak here too...big time. It becomes a bit of a handicap at times though. You can become so preoccupied about dings and scratches. My husband knows where EVERY flaw is on ALL of our vehicles.
RAY!!!!! KEYED SOMEONE'S CAR????????? Unless it is a real heap...WOW!!!!!
Joe, it sounds as if you have had experience with your suggestion?
Neil, I guess I would have let air out of tires...much more costly and less obvious and less damage, however it takes more time. Just flatten the one he would see....
Ketchup packets work well, although, if it isn't all removed there tends to be some paint discoloration and inevitable rust...how did I find out?
I don't screw with the wipers. If his wife took the car with the kids in it and an accident happened, I would never be able to live with it.

If you've ever been to Pontiac you would know that as a high school kid there isn’t much along the lines of entertainment. If you can some how get into the persons car you could hide a carton of milk with a KFC chicken leg basting in it. They’ll have a hard time getting that smell out. I’ve heard rumors that a slice of bologna will remove paint off of some ones hood.
One time we wrapped someone’s car while they were at work. Not the type of wrap I can post in the portfolio section…. Saran Wrap.
I’ll stop there… don’t want you all thinking I’m more of a delinquent then you already do. Plus my parents are on here all the time…. Ooops!

Wow,I wish I had that level of restraint when I was younger-someone did the same thing to me once, a wise ass teenage kid in a BMW. When I called him out as he was walking into the store, his response was, "it sucks to be you". A shopping cart "accidentally" ended up on his hood.

I'll share a good story that an old customer did a few years back.
His wife is handicapped, they went to a local mall to shop, upon arriving they found an illegal car parked in the handicapped spot, so he let his wife off at the door. She is in a wheel chair and they have a chair van.
He then went back and parked BEHIND the illegal car, a little while later the drive comes out and asks if he can move his van so he can get out. My old customer said NOPE! They guy pulls a nutty and started screaming at him, my old customer told him if he didn't like it call the cops, I think the fine for illegal parking in a handicapped spot was 500 bucks. The guy had to sit there for over 2 hours until his wife came back out.
I bet he never illegally parked in a handicap spot again

Back in college, I pushed a guys improperly parked car out of my way with my beater car once. Probably wasn't too smart, since it was in our apartment building, under his window... but it seemed cool at the time.
Only cost me a $50 ticket, but it still seemed worth it. Guy never trusted me to be normal after that. (guess I haven't let him down either )

Honestly? Last night I was wondering if I went to far, and was feeling kinda foolish for doing what I did.. and was wondering when I logged on here this morning if I was going to be flamed for doing what I did.. but do you know what? You are all just as sick as I am.lol.. Honestly I was going to put the vaseline under his wipers, I really was.. but if it caused an accident I don't think I could live with myself.. but having his fingers smeared with a Gooky greasy glop of slop, he won't realize what it was right away.
Thanks for the vote of confidence that all us sign people are a little left of center, lol

When my father went to pick up his new Ford Pinto station wagon from the dealership back in '74, the prep guys pulled it around the front of the building. There were literally no other vehicles there, but as he finished up the paperwork and headed out with the keys, a car pulled up right next to the Pinto and opened the door...WHACK...dinging it before it even left the lot.
Dad was all set to go give the guy some grief verbally, but saw the driver getting out and stopped in his tracks, looked upward and shook his head. The driver was a nun and the man who'd hit the car was wearing the collar.
As Father Richard apologized to my dad for the ding in the door, another driver came in and parked a few spaces away. As he walked off, he casually tossed his cigarette butt away...it landed on the roof of the Pinto and burned a hole in the paint.
Dad said he'd "better get out of the lot and out into traffic where it'll be safe."

I mean, there are times my blood starts to boil over something, but I don't think revenge at all. I may attempt to get my point across some other way or just leave it thinking he isn't going to waste a moment of my precious time inside my head. But who wants to be a freak's target?!?
There was one time lately when I attempted to drive into a parking spot, I actually waited for this one and there were NO other options in this place. Someone nearly took the side of my truck off and went right on in, causing me to slam on the breaks in time. I wanted to get out and point out how rude that was as she looked right at me and shrugged her shoulders. I chose to stay inside and cool down and go way down the road to park. We both happened to go inside the same building and I noticed she had a hard time staying on her feet from an injury. As soon as I came into the building, her guilt flared up and she apologized and explained why she did it. She had been circling for a long time waiting for a spot as well and couldn't walk to boot.
Doesn't excuse bad manners but after I realized she couldn't have even walked to tell me what she was about to do and why, all I could muster out was, "It's cool. It's all small stuff." And honestly, it became just that after I saw the full picture.
A little different than total rudeness just because, but honestly? The best revenge is that they have to go home with themselves and live out that life of hostility every hour of every day. Those types simply do not care and just get enraged with anything. The vaseline or whatever may make you feel better for a moment, but you can bet he'll probably pound on the next victim to avoid having that done to him again. I hope it's not a friendly old gent type. You know what I'm saying.
Those that do wrong by me I avoid like the plague. For someone to be that rude, something's just not right inside of them and you don't want to mess with those without sound mind. I actually have a family member that is 'crazy' and the best thing I ever did was boot his image out of my brain, rather than continue to confront him on everything stupid thing he still continues to do. What a waste of my life that would be.

Nikki, I LOVE venting through typing! Many a times I'll use notepad and just type to my anxiety filled heart's content so I can simply delete it later without anyone knowing the better.
Problem on this puter is, the E key is missing, the space bar sticks and it runs as fast as a slug. Anyone wana talk lap top rage?!?!? I'll go have a coffee now while this comment takes awhile to post... must leave, it's just flat out painful.

You Know Donna, 99% of time I do let it slide, like you said it's just not worth it, Don't sweat the small stuff.. because it's all small stuff right? But sometimes you just have to make a statement.. you just have to.. I never did anything over the top at all.. no damage.. I just did small stuff.. I left a message that he will think, next time he goes to do that... you would have to be there to see his attitude.. he was the the most rude person I have ever encountered.. and sometimes you just have to do something about it. It's sort of like sticking up for yourself.. some people will walk all over you, and take what they can without ever thinking what they are doing to the other person. I just left him a little message... you know what? I probably would have felt more Guilty to just let it slide, because some people need to be reminded of just how ignorant they are.

I hear ya Neil. Some need to be taught a lesson. But ya think it'll help for that guy? I doubt it. I mean, how is it that an adult can feel good conducting his life as he does? He either doesn't care and owns no concience or his anger is deriving from other areas and so he just continues to live in Idiotville. I'd hate to be his wife when he found the vaseline. He'd probably take it out on her next.
I don't have an answer for these guys so I hear where you're coming from. I was a passenger with someone that had a road issue with another driver. I remember the other driver in a rage and my driver blew him a kiss and it sent that other guy into ugly orbit. LOL I mean it doesn't even seem to help to be NICE back.
