Bad parking lot experiences
Bad situation: Wife and I went to Wal-Mart hell a few years ago. Parked her door ding free IS300 (at the time) many spaces away from any other car. Walked in, walked out 15 minutes later and a POS old Subaru had pulled in directly beside her car facing the other direction. I walk around to that side and see not one, BUT TWO, huge door dings on her front fender. They had two baby seats in the back and I just imagined them banging the shit out of my wife's car with the door pulling the kids out of the back.
I lost it and tried to rip the door handle off and when I couldn't, I kicked the shit out of the side of the car with my heel (had flip flops on) until the door trim fell off. I was furious. Well, my wife was utterly shocked and disgusted with my behavior and walked back into the store refusing to ride with me. It was a bad situation.
I left and went back 30 minutes later to pick her up when she called me. Not good. Well, as I was driving home the first time, I called a buddy of mine who happened to be in the area. I told him the story and he drove past the Wal-Mart and saw a police car by the Subaru with an Indian (lots of people from India in this particular part of town) family of 5 complaining about their car.
I call the Wal-Mart later and ask to speak with the manager. I ask the manager if he was aware of the incident in the parking lot where the Indian family called the police. He said he was and I confessed I was the guy that kicked that POS Subaru (probably worth $1000 at most) and explained why I did that. I then asked him if the cameras caught anything and he said, "Nope, and they wouldn't check for something like that." He said I was fine and seemed to implicitly agree with what I did.
I felt a little bad about it later, but man it just pissed me off to no end that people have complete disregard for other's property.
Sorry for the long story, I might have even mentioned it on here before, but wanted to get it off my chest again and hear any other stories you guys may have.

I would've done exactly what you did. Eye for an eye, baby.
One of the reasons why I dread going to Walmart, let alone parking my car on their lot. Walmart tends to attract all walks of life, not exactly a good thing. If I can go about getting my errands done at a smaller store (i.e. grocery store, drug store, etc.) I usually take that route.

Yes, there are people out there who don't know sh!t about cars.
They don't give a damn about their own cars, so why would they care about yours?
I would've waited around for these people to come out of the store. Maybe they would've paid you. Atleast they will be more careful next time. Maybe.

I hate when I purposely park in BFE and some POS parks next to me.

What if you kicked the wrong car? How do you know there wasn't a car prior to the Subaru that dented your car and you blamed the POS Subaru? If I dented your car, I wouldn't leave my car in the same spot.
I got punked off hard by an older lady who decided to steal my spot after I waited politely, with blinkers on and everything (I was driving a silver 01 Golf GTI - 15" alloys, stock except for a rear wing).
She literally drove up past me and then right into the spot where I was waiting.
I go up to her and ask politely to move, explaining to her (as calmly as I could) that I had been waiting there... blah blah.
She goes, "Too bad. Give an old woman a break."
I lost it mentally. She was maybe in her 50s. I can understand if you pull out crutches or something, but nopers. She just walked off with a smug smile.
I was pretty pissed. I didn't want to do permanent damage (so I wasn't going to key her car or whatever.)
I went and got a little utility knife, not big enough to puncture tires, but I did intend to let out the tires in her car. I figure that's enough of revenge but nothing ridiculous.
After what seemed like 5 minutes of the her tire going, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" with air escaping, the tire still didn't look appreciatively flat.
I gave up, and just left. At least I know she's running on wheels with less air, so she's going to get crappy gas mileage....
I suck at revenge.
