Years ago when I was young and dumb (now I’m just dumb) I was a member of a serious (no cardio equipment) muscle-head gym. I had a nice car, and always parked it in the same place: occupying two spaces at the VERY FAR end of the parking lot where it NEVER filled up. Most everyone at the gym knew me, and complimented my car. One evening, about eight of us came out of the gym after a workout and lo-and-behold, some Snapperhead had parked his Datsun beater about three inches away from the driver’s side door of my car. This, in spite of the fact there were over one-hundred empty parking spaces closer to the gym. We walked over to my car in silent amazement. Then, one brain-surgeon in the group (and he was a BIG brain-surgeon) said “F*** this guy, come on guys, grab a hold.” Well my friends, the testosterone was pumping that night in River city, We all got in there, and with a mighty heave, tipped that POS over on its side. We were laughing so hard, we almost split a gut.
I was a member of that gym for several more years and continued to park in the same spot, but nothing ever happened regarding that night. (Except us laughing our asses off like idiots from time to time.)

I had a truck do the same thing, I was gettin ready to leave and he pulled in closer than that. He was stuck in his truck and got pissed that I didn't pull out faster.... people are nuts!
I doubt if my being in the Vette had anything to do with it, his being dropped on his head as a baby probably did though...

All this shock over what people would do if someone F's with you. It ain't pretty. Road rage, bad decisions.
Food for thought people...Treat others as you want to be treated. You'll stand a better chance of surviving in most places. We all can do better.

My guess is that they were just stupid. Most of these door dinging, close parking people don't even realise they are doing anything wrong.
That would have made you a lot worse than the orginal culprit!
When you consider everything......1)There was no damage to your vehicle. 2) Life's too short, 3) There is no way you could have "educated' or made any point the culprit would have understood.
So I think the slight inconvenience of having to climb over the console was the best thing to do.

There is only one purpose in life – to be able to spend your life in your own way, not how others want you to waste it.
Beside the fact that there was no harm no foul, you were wise to not waste your time.

Be careful, Vermont is a free carry state, no license needed to buy or carry concealed. In any given crowed 30-40% of the people will be packing.
Personally I carry a Springfield Arms 9mm sub compact, 17 in the clip one in the pipe.
LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION MAGAZINES
Are there limitations on large capacity ammunition magazines? No
Vermont - There is no state law restricting the sale or possession of large capacity ammunition magazines that can fire 30, 50 or even 75 rounds without reloading. Ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition are considered large capacity magazines. These types of ammunition magazines are available for any firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine, including assault weapons and semi-automatic handguns.
LICENSE OR PERMIT TO PURCHASE
Is a license/permit required to buy handguns? No
No state requirement that handgun buyers obtain a handgun license or undergo any type of safety training prior to buying a handgun.
LIMIT BULK PURCHASES
Is there a one-handgun-per-month limit on sales? No
No state restrictions on gun-trafficking such as a limit on the number of handguns that can be purchased at one time. Gun traffickers can easily buy large quantities of handguns at gun stores and resell them on the street to criminals.
LIMITS ON CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMITS
May police limit carrying concealed handguns? No
State law allows anyone who can buy a gun to carry it loaded and concealed in public. No police permit or police notification is required to carry loaded guns hidden on a person. No training in gun laws or gun safety is required. Vermont is the only state in the country to have such a lax approach to the carrying of loaded, concealed weapons in public.

Regarding the parking lot incident, it's just another stupid idiot behind the wheel. These are the same poeple who tailgate, stay in the left lane, and never signal. The driver, who could have been a man or a woman, young or old, just needed enough room to get out of the car themselves. I'm sure that's as far as the thought process went. If you confronted them, I doubt he or she would have had any clue about what they did.
It's frustrating, but the only real course of action is to shrug, and chalk it up to another mindless act of stupidity. Just be thankful you weren't on the road with them.
