Default I park alone..to STAY ALONE!!!

So, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who does it, but when I go to different places (mainly Walmart or the mall) I tend to park at the very back, far enough away that there are no cars around and there are usually so many empty spots around me..no one ever parks beside me. Until today!!!

I get off work and decide to stop by Walmart on my way home. Do the usual parking job and when I return....THIS is what I find..

This would be the passenger side front door...all the way through the paint!! FML

I try to park in emptier area that are well lit and are covered by security cameras. Parking so far back increases the risk of someone breaking into the car IMO, so you could get screwed either way.

Well regardless its kind of my fault to begin with..Walmart parking lots are only so big and they are usually filled with shopping carts, dumb asses, and dumb asses kids. Should of known better...but who would think this would happen at 4am..lol

Wal-Mart attracts dumb *****, low lifes and "riff raff"...there, I just said what everyone else is thinking..
But I am guilty also of "caving in" and going there on occasion when I feel the need for a "bargain"...the problem that I always encounter is finding another "nice" car to park beside to lower the risk of them banging up my car with their door....

It always amazes me how when you park as far away from every one that you can when you come out some one is parked right next to you. Sorry to see this on your car. I wouldn't let my wife take my new ISC to her work until she knew there was going to be an empty spot next to her space, someone on vacation. She has 3 new nicks on her RX this year. She works at a high school.

Not "brandishing" per se... more like keeping it on a belt holster and making sure that they see it! Just kidding, I agree guns are not appropriate for someone dinging your car door.

I totally feel you man cause I do the exact same thing when I go shopping.
One day, I will be less sensitive about getting dings and scratches.
But for now, I get so nervous while I am shopping even after parking in empty lot.

I feel your pain man. I too park super far away from everything when I go places. Its to the point where I don't have to drive anymore bec no one wants to walk so far to the store . Win Win. My first IS got a nasty scratch on the rear bumper 3 weeks after I got it. Talk about FML! Get some 20dollar touch up paint so you won't notice it as much.
