I am not without understanding. I fully relate to the thought process as I am the say way. I will bypass all of the parking spots for THE parking spot. Can I park in this spot without getting the doors or side panels dinged? It’s a serious issue. I’m told it’s a guy thing - is that true?

There is also this unwritten code pertaining to truck owners. Truck owners back into parking spaces. It’s a requirement of ownership like having a gun rack in Montana. The driver of this clown car, however, broke all the rules and pushed me beyond my limit of understanding.

I was just visiting Costco (many things seem to happen while at Costco) to honor a promise I made to Brady. Our Costco is right across from the Pentagon in a very busy place with a very busy parking lot. Even though I’m understanding and all that other sappy stuff I felt this driver crossed the line - two of them to be exact. Not just one parking spot but three! It would have been one thing if the car was a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or a Ford F-150 SuperCrew. But this car? I can’t take it.

Now to the dark side of my thought process. I entertained, briefly but nevertheless entertained, the idea of backing into said vehicle multiple times. Just to see the smug look on the face of the driver disappear upon returning would have been delightful. Of course, I would have promptly invited him to church.

Yes, I know, my first thought was destructive. So help me out. Anyone have any constructive ideas (or other destructive ideas would be fine) to teach the element correct parking etiquette?
