I parked in the last space on the side of the road in front of a store I needed to visit. The spaces are clearly marked with big white brackets. There was a sidestreet to the right about 15' in front of me so the spaces ended where I parked. I came out of the store and there is a brand new Armada backed right up against my bumper. I mean, like you could maybe pass a sheet of paper between my truck and this SUV. This person knew there was no space there but did it anyway, even though there is a free parking lot about 30 feet away. A car behind me had pulled up to my rear bumper. I was pinned in by an illegal parallel parker. I went back in the (small) store and announced loudly that I needed to get out. No one came forward. I went back out and waited, and waited and waited, getting more and more pissed off. Basically, this person had said to me through their actions,
"F- You, my time is more valuable than your time, so you can wait while I park illegally and do whatever it is I am doing".
I waited for a while more and that was it.
I went back in the store and asked again, no one came forward.
I said, "I hope whoever owns it is insured"
Finally, I had enough, I dropped my F-250 in 4 low and slammed the Armada. I backed up and did it again..... and again,......and again. Once I had slammed it sufficiently out of my way, I was able to get around it. I normally would never damage someone's car like that, but the "me first and screw everyone else" mentality needs a reality check.
