Default Parking stupidity

One would think that the owner of a brand new convertable with leather interior would wish to minimize the risk of vandalism by at least parking appropriately when leaving the top down.

Not so for the owner of a new Mustang GT convertable I saw today. She decided to park with the top down while taking up two spaces by parking exactly on the divider line. To augment this lack of judgement, one of the spaces she's taking up is a corner space. All she has to do is park near the curb and no door on any car is going to touch her.

Now, as an owner of a convertable with leather interior, I naturally cringe at the thought of vandalism, but DAMN THIS WOMAN DESERVES IT!!!!!

I once parked (top up) in two spaces at the back of an empty parking lot. wanna know what I came out to find? the car next to me - nothing else around for a hundred and fifty feet - merely one inch away from me. Had to get in by the passenger side. =/

I saw a very similar thing at a local movie theater once....only difference was it was a Porsche Boxster instead of a Mustang and a very busy lot too.
I hate vandalism too, so instead I put a nice little note under the steering wheel saying the next time I saw her car parked like this I would make it a point to dump the remainder of my 325oz movie theater Big Gulp all over the interior. To drive the point home, I left a half full(notice the optimism) cup right beside the driver's door.
