Parking - How do you park your baby?
For me, I like to park as far away from civilization as possible 
. This usually means a space on the corner where there is only one door that is exposed to the dangers of other parkers.
At night, in my part of the world it's completely feasible to leave the car in a dimly lit or even deserted corner - as there are virtually no safety / crime concerns.
It's unbelievable how many times I am have seen either a careless driver or passenger / kid who hastily and carlessly opens their door to leave a noticeable dent on a typically expensive unsuspecting car. It makes me absolutely furious.
Once, I left my Cayenne outside a restaurant where there clearly was no room for anything other than a motorbike in the 2nd space. When I returned back I was moritifed to see a van had parked half on the pavement / and half in the vacant space....The first thing that came to my mind was 'he hit me'....Sure enough, there was a paint nick and dent in my passenger door.
Naturally, I was absolutely livid - and for the first time in my life proceeded to kick the van's door vigorously - followed by letting down one of the tyres.
In retrospect, whilst I'm certainly not proud of my initial reaction - it did feel like sweet revenge had been served. (despite the $600 bill which awaited)
Some people just have no respect....
Anyone else have any other war stories?
