trust me i wanted to do something. i actually waited for a few mins hoping the driver would return. also cause i was scratching my head thinking am i really gonna go through my passenger side door just to get in.. i had my window rolled down while i was backing out. had my keys in my hand and realized our remote does have anything sharp on it..lol...but i did have my key chain on it and it would have done some damage..

then my conscious kicked in and i somewhat believe in karma so i just backed out and took pics of the plates in case i did find any damage when i got home.

Typical.
A couple of points...
Always remember many parking lots and storefronts now have security cameras. If there ever was damge, be sure to check the cams for proof.
Second, try to avoid lots with small spaces. These little disasters are bound to happen over time if one utilizes these lots. At the very least, park all the way at the other end away from everyone.

lol i saw the first pic and thought "well it looks tight, but at least he parked straight with the line." then i scrolled down and realized those stalls are the ones with the double lines. lol

i hate when that happens, but i've seen worse. like people who park slanted in stalls that are straight and end up in two stalls. oh and this too:

lol

Usually, an adjustment of the passenger side mirror is in order in these situations. If the mirrors swivel, swivel them all the way forward. That way, the idiot won't notice until they're underway and won't be able to fix it without getting out of the car. No permanent damage, either. Just a friendly reminder that parking like crap is not a good thing.
