Originally Posted By DAR I work in downtown Milwaukee and the company I work for has a large parking structure that connects to the three buildings we have here.

And everytime that person parks there, the car is always always always over the line. And it's set up so that I can barely get out of there. Now I've talked to the person several times and asked if they could just move over a tad so our cars don't get damaged. And I figured since he has a newer car, he might want to listen. Of course I got this look like I was crazy. I also talked to the person in charge of parking, they said the only thing the can do is remind this person to have the car moved over. But the company is not responsible for any damage to the vehicles. So I get to work and once again this schmuck doesn't know how to park. I'm able to get out of my car but I realize I'll have to squeeze through. So I open my door and BAM hits the car next to me. And you know what I don't care, this guy was told several times that something was going to happen. Am I wrong to think this way?
