11. That's what pisses me off. A million effin spaces and someone pulls next to you.

This actually happened to me in a grocery store lot.

I parked several spaces away from anyone else during the day in a sparsely populated lot.

I'm sitting in my car, having just gotten back in from shopping when an a-hole pulls up right next to me, opens his door and hits my door.

I'm one of the ones who not only parts way away from every one, I also try to find an end spot so the careless ones can only nick my door on one side.

Well this guy bumps the side of my car as he opens his door. I get out and literally say, "there's a million spaces here and you part next to me and bump my car. WTF?"

He denies it, saying he didn't hit my car. I check out the side of my car and find no dent but still tell him, "no, I'm sitting in the car and felt and heard your door hit my car. Why did park next to me?"

He says, "I like your car. I just wanted to see what kind of car it is."

I let it go after that since he did cause any damage but I was still pissed.

That's one of my prime irritants.
