Or carve it into his tires with a box cutter.

Well, that’s a good start. LOL
You’re an asshole.
There ya go. :)
Is that one of the reasons I carry a tire valve remover tool in my car?
But the culture is a bit bizarre to hear in person.I was once a sysadmin at a ~20k student univ. Helpdesk sent me discplinary cases - seemed like a lot, but really small % of student body. Anyhow, I got a run of kids who couldn't grasp the concept that just because it was possible to do something didn't make it OK to do. Bizzarre is the word...
The last few years I've enjoyed seeing how happy I can make some people by simply holding a door with a smile and showing manners (yes, please or thank you).I've been growled at and chewed out for my chauvinism for holding doors. Lucky for me, the screeching harpie types are easy to identify so in their case I'd look 'em right in the eye and let the door go just in time so they couldn't catch it before it closed. But I always smiled as I did it...
I also enjoy not holding the door for jerks, especially during the 'hot coffee' season now upon us.
When I was a kid, the attitude was "Look at so-and-so. He drives a great car, lives in a great neighborhood. I should try to be more like him."
Now that the children of the 60s are in charge, the attitude is: "Look at so-and-so. He drives a great car, lives in a great neighborhood. What the Hell did HE do to deserve such great stuff? Let's throw a rock at the car!"
I'm hoping that the attitude changes, as the hippie generation becomes less relevant. Figure that they're peaking, right now. Might already have hit their peak in '08.
In this case it’s the juice from the clams that do the work. Just pour it under the seat or in the crease. Once it festers WOW! And when the weather gets warm out it gets really bad.
The problem is, you don't know who's going to be "in his way" when that happens.
Just another sign that the U.S. is screwed. Not a modicum of respect, not an ounce of decency or concern for anyone but himself. There are way too many self-absorbed b@st@rds like that running around the country.
You did the right thing. Video cameras are all over most retail parking lots.
I agree with that.
If I’m in a store and some store owner asks to look in my back pack or fanny pack, I’ll tell him to take a hike...he doesn’t have the right to take possession of my goods.
If he thinks I stole something, fine...let him call the police, but there’s no way I’m letting some clerk look at my possessions.
