Re: Please use a little courtesy while parking!
Scrible, I would say the other driver was completely oblivious. Hope you didn't ding his passenger door too bad while trying to squeeze in your car.
My story: 25 years or so ago I parked in a lot in my weeny 83 front wheel drive Dodge Charger. The lot was set up so that stalls were marked out parallel to the side of the lot. I parked front end to the corner with concrete post in front to prevent the inattentive from driving over the curb and down an embankment.
Being a thoughtful, considerate driver; I pulled up pretty close to the posts so as to leave lots of distance behind my car so whoever parked behind me would have all sorts of room to maneuver into the stall behind mine. Like to guess where this is heading?
So I get back from whatever it was that I was doing only to find a Dodge Caravan parked behind me but positioned way forward out of his space and stitting maybe a foot or so off my back bumper.
Now my car is trapped - I have concrete posts in front and a minivan behind. Well, after pondering the situation for a couple of seconds; I got in my car, inched up as close as possible to the posts, cut the front wheels over, and then backed up as hard as I could. Bam! Hit the Caravan hard and pushed it back an inch or so, but more importantly I was able to swing my front end out a little. Unfortunately the end wasn't out enough so I had to pull forward and reverse again about three or four more times before my front would clear the posts, slamming into the Caravan each time. That 83 Dodge may have been a pathetic Charger wanabee but it was built tough and I had confidence the car would handle the blows, which it did. As for the Caravan, well, the front bumper cover was askewed in my mirror as I pulled away.
