I work in a little startup which shares the building with a bunch of other companies. It started raining outside, so I go out to close the sunroof completely. And what do I see? A freaking Sienna XLS parked so close to my car, I can't even squeeze in between the cars and open the driver's door. The driver just pulled into a lot barelly missing my car by inches.

WTF. There's so much space on the left to this van, I could park a motorcycle in there. I have no idea who's car it is. I could leave him a nasty note, but since it's raining outside, it's going to get smeared.

At least I can get into my car from the other side. I feel like asking a friend of mine to repark the car to the left of this van so close, this driver will be stuck until we decide to leave :|

Minivan drivers are in a world of their own :|

Lame as a rant. You need to make us feel your anger.

I'm still thinking of a way to do vigilante justice. Short from keying his van over nothing comes to mind.

Leave the note and let it get smeared. But remember to use the words, truck and shift.

Nope, he is out of his spot, over the white line on the right and into mine. There's plenty of space in his spot on the left.

did you notice if the car that was parked on the other side was over the line too. Still doesn't excuse the minivan for parking so near to your vehicle. I'd probably try to squeeze in making one hell of a mark on his door.

don't take it up the ass like you are doing right now...find out who this guy is and kick his ass seabass.

or you could have HR or someone make an announcment over the intercom or something.

But stop taking it up the ass.

No, the other car is parked normally. Even so, there's so many spaces on the lot - there's no excuse for this sh!tty parking. I'm going to watch this car out of the window from my cube and kick his ass when he comes for it.

Sharp belt clasps sure can be a bitch, can't they? ;)

leave him lots of notes, like post it his whole car. Maybe just the back of the car and warb everyone behind him how bad of a driver he is.

Should have written up the note and used clear packing tape to go across the back of the whole thing and about 4 inches off each end. Run out there with a paper towel and dry off where you want to stick it [windshield] then stick it there. That'll teach him to learn to drive.
