Yes, you are correct in assuming that. That scenario inconveniences no one, except perhaps a person with a psychopathic vendetta against Corvettes and/or double parking.  
I realize you didn’t call me a sociopath; it’s just the general tone of the attacks (not just yours) that is getting to me - as if urinating on someone’s property was the most unspeakably heartless act that could be committed in a civilized society. I know, I know, hyperbole - but people _do_ seem to have some violent reactions to this. If I read **Diane’s** last post correctly, peeing on a car handle is worse than keying someone’s car? What kind of Bizarro World logic is that?  
In any case, maybe I did sound boastful, but only because it’s been long enough that I find the incident funny; eleven years seems long enough for the incident to enter into the realm of anecdotal “stupid shit I did when I was young”. I’m sure even the car’s owner is past any emotional investment (s)he’d made in the whole sordid affair and can laugh about it too. Unless (s)he’s got a really large stick up his/her ass.

Not Bizarro World, it’s actually La La Land, but considering the similarities of the accents I can see your confusion.

Just to clarify myself, I do think it is worse to key a car for the simple fact that you are destroying someone else’s property. I see no justification in it whether they took two stalls or four. Ever.

On the other hand, the peeing part was really discusting and I am a little suprised your date didn’t dump you right then and there. I don’t care if you didn’t like the way they parked, it doesn’t justify something so vile.

I can’t stand it when people block the isle in the grocery store. If you get in my way can I assume that it will be okay if I poop in your pocket? Afterall, you would deserve it, wouldn’t you? Would you laugh about it years later or would you still have a stick up your ass? I mean hell, it’s just poop, right?

Woody - I do agree with you 100% about the idiot drivers. I swear, one of these days I am going to install a PA system on my car and start giving free, on the spot driving lessons!

Another bitch. Why is it sooooooooo hard to flush the toilet in a public restroom? Do these people really think I enjoy walking into a stall and seeing a couple of turds floating around? You may be impressed with the size of it, but trust me when I say that they aren’t talking about your poop when they say “size matters”, so stop showing off and flush already.

Wrong numbers who say “Who’s this?” Shit, you called me. Who the hell are YOU?
