What is this self serving BS? How is it self serving to ME to park over 2 spots and get my car keyed? How is it self serving if I speed and get in an accident? If you ask me speeders are the most selfless people on the road, they risk damage to their cars and tickets to get off the road faster, oh but there's virtue in selflessness. Whoever keyed the person's car was selfless, they risked their well being (someone could catch them) so that other people could see that this supposedly aimless parker was an *******. Here’s the kicker. You ***** and complain about people’s time being more important that yours, they speed, they park over two spaces, but now…when it comes down to your time what’s important to you? Risk getting my car keyed, or park in a spot. Lets see…park here get keyed or go somewhere else, BUT IT’S MY TIME, WAH WAH WAH. How can you gripe? It’s your own fault your car got keyed, but you blame this guy because he had the gull to park over two spots, you were just dimwitted enough and lazy enough to squeeze into the left over space.

There is no point in making people work towards the common good, as per your observations people can not be forced to conform even to marked white lines in a parking lot. You complain because your parking space was small, but the person on the driver’s side of the car had a huge space, able to swing their door all the way open, how convenient. Now this parker really deserves a medal, yet his car is keyed, I don't get it? He put his car on the line perhaps so someone had some extra room.

When I'm on the road I am extremely SELFISH, I avoid things that may damage MY car, I avoid people who are *******s, I don't flip anyone off, I don't tailgate, I don’t speed because I don’t want insurance to go up, I look out for ME this is because I am SELFISH. I don't want MY car screwed up and I don't want my time used up by an accident, and I don't want my heart to explode because I get all in a huff about people who speed and post about it on the internet. If I were looking out for other people how would I do things differently? Do you want me to sacrifice my well being for the common good of others on the road? While on the highway should I take my eyes off the road to inform people that they are not contributing to the common good?

"America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages, and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way." –Ayn Rand

When you drive down the road and gripe about people’s time being more important think about it, there’s a good chance their time is more important than yours. How important is your time really? When you drive in your Mercedes Benz, built with the utmost attention to detail and respect for perfection realize that there was an engineer who was selfish behind that. There was someone who wanted to say “THAT IS MINE, I BUILT THAT” with pride and daring someone to do it better, to build a more perfect car. Yet you sit there with keyed paint saved only by the wax created by a selfish designer complaining of selfishness, what greater hypocrisy can there be? You need to realize that there is virtue in selfishness perhaps the greatest virtue in the world.
