I packed my two boys up to go to a parade down town and had to park perfectly between the line with no one on eitherside. We left only a few min into it because of the heat. When I came back both jurk holes parks on the yellow and I couldn’t get my skinny butt in let alone my new born on oxygen. I said f it and placed my door on their fender and pushed. I know I’m completely in the wrong but it sure made me feel better that day. I do however feel bad today about it.

I wouldn't. I've done far worse to disrespectful motorists in parking lots. I feel quite good about it.

Are the parking spaces getting smaller or are the vehicles getting larger? I'm fairly certain that sparking spaces have to meet minimum dimentions.

while that is true, there's nothing saying that those minimum dimensions have not changed (for the smaller).

I HATE MY SCHOOL PARKING LOT spaces are tiny as hell and these stupid *** girls park right next to me and I think one of them dinged my door because I don't remember a ding in my door when I bought the truck... I'm completely freaked out by people dinging my truck. all the seniors at my school with nice trucks or lifted trucks take up 2 spots just because of idiots dinging their trucks or because they can't park the damn things idk but all of them do it

I used to have frame mounted nurf bars on my truck. Never worried about dings. I pitied the poor SOB who swung open their door.
