No, I don't like dents in my sheet metal. But just as folks who park too close are annoying, so is the other extreme.

No bump!!
Basic parking lot etiquette...park at the right distance and please look before opening your door(s). Not rocket science.
ah that is so obnoxious. Especially when it's their driver side because you know they had to squeeze to get in the car.

And what about when someone parks so close behind you, you can't get into the back of your truck without moving first? Happened 2 seasons back at Cannon, and just last week at Stowe. Very tempted to just drop my tailgate on their BMW emblem.
I have really poor grip and sometimes my skis will slip out of my hand getting them out of the bed.

1970 something my local hill would shutdown the lifts for a half hour from 4-4:30, so tired of lodge food would run into town . A couple of guys I met one night shared a ride and when we got back went to his car, happened to notice a Blue MG parked really tight ,
He started freaking out seeing a blue dent in his new car.He just lost it :uzi:, him and his buddy (after putting there boots back on ) started kicking the side of the MG , they did so much damage you could see the window linkage.
I hightailed it out of there .

This and I will never understand why some people don't pull through to the open spot in front of them in clearly marked parking lots. I'm the guy looking for the nearest pull through to the door ;-)

Because if you want to put stuff in the back of your car/truck when you come back to it you don't want someone parked right behind you

Makes sense if you have a tailgate, especially with skis or other gear. I RARELY place groceries in my trunk...

You cant fix STUPID!
I find that the further away from the lift they make you park, the less room they give you around your car. The out of town jerks that they give the good spots to also get all the room. Fair, it is not.

What? I thought this was a great thread that needed more attention!

Still do. You can't leave early because they box you in. It's great for kids or wife who always want to leave early. They can either sit in the base box or ski

I parked at Shawnee Peak last night, no one else around in the lot where I was. Came back to the truck and a toyota 4runner was pulled up a half inch from my back bumper. I had to reach across his hood to reach my tailgate handle. I keep my keys in the body under the tonneau cover so I couldn't even move my truck. I had to drop the tailgate onto his bug deflector and lay on it to reach my keys. Sorry about your bug deflector you a@@hole!
Happened to us at stratton on sunday. When we pulled in the car next to us left room for both of us to get dressed. Well once we both went to hill another car slid in the middle. Literally had to climb over passenger seat to get to drivers seat.

Nice!! That's better than my story but I'm telling it anyway. I was sitting in my car waiting for my friends to show up at a bar one night. My windows are tinted fairly dark so you can't really see me in there. A car full of guys pulls up next to me in a two door. The driver gets out, pushing his door into mine as he does. Thunk. Then his friend has trouble climbing out of the back and is leaning on the door. Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk. I'm sitting there just staring blankly, astonished that people are such assholes. Being alone, and 4 of them I wasn't about to get out and start some shit. So I waited until they went in, then got out of my car to check the damage. Nice crease and scrapes in my passenger door. My friends pulled up just in time to see me kick his driver side mirror off his car and across the parking lot. We then decided to go to another bar, but first I left a note under his wiper explaining why his mirror was missing. I wouldn't want the lesson to go unlearned.
