Sadly, it doesn't surprise me a bit.

OTOH (but in no way do I endorse the violence!) I do notice far more issues with folks inability to park between the lines now than in the past. Most of the time it's cars or minivians, not just SUVs.

What makes you think inability? Are you sure it isn't deliberate? I see a lot of people purposely park their cars to take up 2 lots so you don't come near and ding them.

Yeah, but there's a lot of people who just park crookedly with one wheel out of the spot or something -- just pull in, done, no matter if someone's car is boxed in or a spot is made unusable...

You notice that a lot around here. Sad to say it seems to be mostly women.

Women even beating women for their driving abilities? Or lack of them? Actually I found this way over the top.

Either one of the guys in the car should have gotten out and stopped it.

And break up a catfight? Why? Call the cops, let them deal with it. Sit back and enjoy the free show.

i could care less if you do that in the back 40. most of these though take the closest place to the entry.

what pisses me off even more is the people that park in front of the store.

I just hate people that park in general, for what ever reason they always take my spot.

Eventually happen? I'm pretty sure this has happened within a couple days of the first painting of the lines for the first parking lot.

Anyone is CAPABLE of correctly parking a car if they take the trouble to do so. The problem is that there are so many people with no respect for the strangers that have to share the parking lot with them.

Doesn't mean you should beat the shlt out of them when they don't show such respect though. Santa knows all about it though, so I'm sure it was taken care of a few nights ago.

A sign of the times.

What bothers me is when I park way out in the boonies and someone still parks right next to me.
