Yeah, parking out of the way is how my poor car had her first run in with a stupid driver. I parked at the edge of a parking lot with no one around, went to leave, and some woman who had been parked over 50meters away ended up turning 270 degrees and backing straight into my driver's side door. When I saw my poor car lift up and then fall back down I went ballistic! Then I saw her look back and start to put the car in gear, and I was like, no way! That's when I went over to tell her to stop and she rolled her window up when I was trying to talk to her. Then I sat on her hood to make sure she didn't leave.

Anyway, I don't think the old woman parked so poorly intentionally, and no, she didn't end up hitting me, and quite frankly the fact that there were plently of open parking spots doesn't matter either - it's the principle. The fact that she either didn't care enought to straighten herself out after parking because she figured I could get out some other way, or was simply unaquainted with a straight line and how to park next to it is what matters. I mean, just be a little bit considerate, is that too much to ask?
