hit the IGNORE button. Some joker puts his face to your window as you are trying to drive... keep driving.

Alternatively put a decal on your rear window that reads something along the lines of "Have a gun. Will use it."

Don't they have a sticker that says, "I'm a maniac, I'll blow your face off if you bother me?"

When my wife parks her smart in a parking space, she leaves it in the middle. Too far towards the curb, we are afraid that someone will come along and try to whip their car in and hit hers before they realize the space is occupied and can't stop in time (ever seen some of those idoits that think they found the just right spot?) Think about it yourself, ever thought you found a parking spot to suddenly realize a motorcycle is already there (I know I have)? Then if you park too far back then someone will take the front spot and have half of their vehicle into your spot also. In the middle and this is my damn spot...sorry! How many in here have already had someone park way too close to your side since this is a rather small vehicle? Guess everyone thinks they are driving a Hummer or just can't park worth sh*t...

Insane encounters seemed to slow down in time but it does pay to keep windex wipes handy for the hand and nose prints on the windows.

I follow the park at the front of the space rule. My problem in the first week was width, I ended up 2 feet away from the curb.

Great advice. Don't get me wrong, I love people and I love talking about my car. The guy coming virtually into my car has been the only time I have felt invaded or in an unsafe situation. I've learned to put the top up when I'm not in the mood, too. Usually though, I just crank up the tunes and enjoy the roll.

Springfield XD9 with laser sight and tactical light works better!
Keep honking, I'm reloading!! Especially when they open the door and sit down while loading the grandkid in her carseat. BTW, Its legal to carry a handgun in Texas with a concealed permit.
