Do you think it’s ok to touch cars of others?

[alarmguy]

I dont let other people bother me which I think bothers them even more than if I react.

The only time I've done something like that was when I damaged someone's car while parking and left a note with my contact information.

Otherwise, why get aggravated over things you have no control about?

I got back to my car and there was a note “don’t park like an a******”

I could tell the person yanked my wiper arm based on it’s not being fully retracted. It does not come up on this car and the note was loose.

I do see my bumper is on the white line, but so what?

Society is disappointing at times.

I have rear dash cam video of the vehicle but geniuses in PA decided we don’t need front plates.

I actually will keep an eye out for the vehicle as he has a Phillies hat and a white hat on his dash as if for display.

I require a bit more infomation.
Did you box the guy in? Was he behind you in the spot against the curb when you parked?

Generally, if someone leaves a note under my wiper, no big deal. Maybe you were upset about the content of the note.

I have rear view cam in my inexpensive Ford, it gives me a red line which will put my bumper about one metre inside the line. I use it.

Does this low-end Merc not have a good reversing camera? Yep, I typically back in - that's what former drunks know to do.

I might reserve a note like that for a FULL lot where someone is splitting two spaces by parking directly over the centre of the line.
Then again I can never find a pen or pencil when I need it.

Now that spot overall looks like someplace in a city I might leave my car if I want it gone

I was upset that I could see my wiper arm was yanked. If doesn’t come up like most. It can’t. It makes contact with the hood but cannot lift up. And I could see it was not in its normal tucked position.

Yes, this guy was behind me. And I’m glad it happened. I showed myself that if I did identify him I would do nothing and let it go.

The fact that the driver would display baseball caps on the dash, and the seat position, tells me it’s a male. I think older because I don’t believe young people drive around with baseball caps on the dash to display (maybe I’m wrong?).

It’s intimidation. He thinks he does this once, and I will never park in front of him again. But he’s wrong. If it happens to be the only spot, like Sat, I would. That row is people who don’t want dings. But not easy to get in and out, similar to parallel parking on a city street.

But it’s all good and seriously I’m glad it happened. Life is always testing us.

I absolutely do not believe in touching anybody else's car but I won't get mad if there's a note or pamphlet placed under my wiper blades. I may have some quick words go through my head and then go on with my day if I parked behind you but I sure wouldn't be like the other person leaving a note and damaging your wiper blades since there's so much room behind you to get in/out of with zero issues.

We took our Viper to a car show. Never again. It was hours of asking people to look with their eyes, not their hands.

One drawback to bringing a very short car to a car show, is the kids like it because it's just the right height for them to look into without needing to be picked up. I can bring my Fiero to a show and within a few hours there will be dozens of little kid handprints on the doors, where the kids place their hands when they look in. Sticky, ice-creamy handprints. Fortunately the plastic body panels clean up nice.

Sometimes adults aren't much better. At once car show I went to, I watched a guy walk around with his ballot and every time he marked it, he placed it on the roof of the car he was voting for. And wrote on the ballot! Now THAT is something I would have to speak up about.

This one's for you, OP.

I went to the beach years ago with a girlfriend. Parking was tight as usual. When we came back to the car, there were cars parked in front and behind my car, and both cars were literally 10-12 inches from my bumpers. I thought there was no way to get out, it looked totally trapped between the two cars. I had the girlfriend stay out of the car to let me know when I was like 1/4 inch from hitting each car while I struggled to get the car out. After about 10 minutes of back and forth while fully turning the wheels and going back and forth, I finally got the car out. It was nuts, and didn't touch either car once with the GF's guidance. If I didn't have anyone to watch my bumpers I would have had to kissed bumpers over and over until I struggled out.

That’s me on the right. If I were over the line then y’all would suspect something is wrong with me

This is where I usually park but it was taken this am
