Then again, guys, think of how great we ALL have it that people parking near us is troubling enough to us that we spark a 3-page thread which still burns brightly.
I think we all need to keep in mind how thankful we should be that we consider this one of Life's Problems.

True, honestly I am happy to have my Corvette, it's likely with me for life. When the C6 came out I was just starting highschool and I never dreamed I could afford to own one. Here I am today with a like new C6 that I drive every day. I'm very thankful for everything I have which is why I treat my vehicles very well even my aging 85 chevy truck (which is due for some major rust repair) that was passed from my mom to me and some day to my children. Not everyone can be as blessed as I have been and for that I am thankful.
Thank you for some prospective.

As to many other comments here, what folks care about varies. I know that most folks, even with new expensive cars, don’t care about parking lot dings so I do what the OP does - park far out unless I’m on my bike. I’ve never had the OP’s experience, sure, but realize that 99% of those out there don’t give a &#^#^ about their cars so I need to do the caring work for them.

Hey, were i the OP, I’d have been annoyed at the prank but looking with perspective, it was just a prank that didn’t harm his car.

On the topic of wal-mart, any time I have to go there, I park on the side at the oil change place and walk through from the back. No cart returns, therefore, no carts usually. Most people don't park there unless they are getting oil changes and stuff.

Mix in with everyone else and you'll most likely never have a problem.

That place is so depressing and over crowded with strange looking/acting people. What is the appeal?
Maybe it's because I live in a city with other choices to shop, but I would rather pay more money in a different store than shop there. Starting with the parking, there are many cons, but very few pros to shop there.

Well I agree completely with your assessment of having to do the other peoples caring for them. But it seemed as though you were suggesting that since not having any consideration for other people is becoming so prevalent that it's OK. It shouldn't matter how much our society changes or how bad it gets, being considerate to others should never become out of favor.....
Queues which take 25 minutes to clear at places like a big city Safeway cleared instead in 10 minutes due to the customers helping each other. All the customers were white and over 35.
Oh, that likely had nothing to do with it.

Nothing to be done for it. It's the changing demographics. I just returned from Costco. Due to few cashiers, the lines were huge. The response from customers was to help the cashiers speed things up. Anybody with few items were asked to go to the front of the line.

New Wal Mart parking policy
Recently went to Wal Mart in my DD Jeep. Pulled in and parked and sat there for a few moments to let the radio talk show finish. "Lady" came out with a buggy, pushed it between my Jeep and her car , unloaded it and left it there. OK, I thought, got out of the Jeep and moved the cart to the front of her car and walked off. Her language was very entertaining. I would also note that the buggy pen was just across the aisle form her car. Think I will make that SOP for me.

I am a disabled veteran and have the handicapped tags, my Escalade has been hit in the driver and passenger side rear in a week, two different times, both did damage and the people that hit it drove off, no note, nothing. So I agree with people today being ******** and they don't have any respect for anything.

The people who did this didn't know you were a disabled vet, did they? They had no way of knowing.
What I see here, despite us having a huge vet population many of whom are disabled, are legions of folks having nothing wrong with them other than being hugely fat.
It's not just fat. I know a guy at the gym who parks legally in a disabled spot. He enters the gym, changes and then hits the treadmill. I ribbed him about it and he just smiled.
Regs here demand many crippled spaces at every business even places like motorcycle dealerships. I cannot remember seeing any of them used by anybody I could imagine being a disabled vet. They're all fat broads (and that guy) faking disability to free ride on the system.
Yeah, that guy at the gym is on disability.

Your x-ray vision must be strong. As a disabled veteran myself, often times we look and act no different than anyone else. But assuming someone is healthy and not disabled just because they work out on a treadmill is ignorant. I mean that as in ignorant of what disability they might have. I did not find the disability system to be easy to "game" or anything of the sort....
