    That's nothing. Try that kind of thing at the Paramus Mall during Christmas season. I've heard of cars who stole spaces having tires slashed, windows broken, and being keyed. Sometimes the offended party just jumps out of their vehicle and beats the crap out of the person who stole their space.

    The only thing odd to me about this story is the time of year which it ocurred.

    Ya gotta admit, that's ###### up for a driver to steal a spot right from under you and ESPECIALLY when it's a couple of older hands. I thought all you old hands were always courteous and outstanding citizens. :biggrin_25525:

    You can't but, it's the same as cutting in line, it's just dis-courteous and rude.
    If I'm waiting for a spot and someone takes it, i'll be angry, but, it's not the end of the world. I catch myself at times going "What are you so mad about" on the road every now and then... that little voice is quite humbling if you're prepared to listen to it.
    It's not my job to be parking patrol, like i said, sure I'd be upset but I'd just find another spot.

    I think what we have here is just a classic case of what psychologists call displaced anger.

    I've found that little things tick me off more lately, but in reality I'm just upset at my current financial situation (read: lack of a financial situation).

    It's a shot in the dark, but maybe that's what this bucket thrower is/was going through.
