What I like to do to people who park on the lines in a parking lot, close enough to my car that I can't open the door enough to get in, I will let most of the air out of one of their tires. I will usually leave 8 to 10 pounds in the tire. Enough so they can get to a gas station to fill up the tire and enough that it is really annoying.

If you don't know how to park a car correctly between to lines, then you have no business driving and should have your license revoked.

You are kidding of course. Drivers need to be AWARE that they are at a pedestrian crosswalk. Don't give me the right of way and get a 10.5 shoeprint on your side panel.

You are really mean. Maybe they are on the line because the person next to them was over the line. It's despicable that you would let air out of someone's tire for ANY reason. What if the person is not able to bend down and get to the tire to refill it or doesn't have a tire gauge or doesn't have change for the air pump or doesn't realize it and has a flat tire or assumes the tire has a leak, takes time off of work to get it repaired only to find out that there is no leak? I could go on and on, but I think I've made my point. Shame on you!

A little bit of consideration goes a long way!
I totally agree, I do all of these things as well

If I saw someone touching my truck they would get more than an earful, I have a long bed pickup truck and its hard to park, especially when the person next to me is already up against the line, I hope you get whats coming to you

Don't judge someone's health by appearance. My mom looks perfectly healthy but has a heart arrhythmia and lung problems and has a handicapped permit because she can only walk short distances without oxygen.

I hope you are the only one that feels that way. I never paid much attention until I HAD a baby. At 20 lbs, she's a fifth of my weight. Trying to get her out of her car seat and then carry her into the store while juggling my purse and reusable shopping bags is a challenge. Especially in the rain. I can't imagine if I had more than one child and was trying to wrangle the baby while keeping tabs on a toddler. So, yes, I believe these spaces are nice and I greatly appreciate them. When I don't have the baby, I park far away from the store and walk for the exercise value. I try to enjoy the fact that I'm in good enough health to do so, rather than being ticked off that I can't park right next to the door.
