Let's not gloss over this. Maybe not the specific point, but people's driving and parking habits aren't getting people as upset as smoke and dogs? The people who park at an angle, can't fit in the spot, park in the fire lanes in front of the stores (oh, but they're "just waiting"....even though there are spots available in the actual lot)...let's do something about THESE people first.
Or the one I love the best (and see way too often in my area). Big minivan creeping into a spot ends up hitting one of the cars on the side. Driver looks around, backs up, and leaves.
Haha, I did that once. I had borrowed my mom's minivan to drive a group to a Mets game. By the time we got there the parking lot was full so there wasn't much room to maneuver into a spot. I was completely focused on the car to my right and didn't realize I tapped the car on my left. It was a chevy tahoe type truck, one of the larger SUV's, there were like 4-5 guys drinking in it and the one guy gets out and just screamed at me for like 2 full minutes (which doesn't sound like a long time, but seemed pretty long). There wasn't even a mark on the bumper. Even if it was empty, I wouldn't have driven away without leaving a note, that's really scummy.

But you did hit the car, so the other guy's actions were warranted...
but this happens all the time by me (hit car, drive away).
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on whether the guy's reaction was warranted.
I usually don't respond to "I'm so sorry" by screaming "Moderator cut: language removed in a person's face, but I guess everyone reacts differently to the tragedies of everyday life.

Yesterday at the arches in Deer Park, at around 7pm a young man was walking, and a group of thugs confronted him outside the movie theatre. I watched the gang yell at the young man and threaten him until he took out his phone and told them he was calling 911. What the hell was that all about? I didn't see a security guard anywhere. We know that Deer Park has a gang problem and we know they can get to the Mall easily. We need security 24/7 or we will have an issue very soon.

You watched the whole thing and didn't do anything? You could've at least called the police instead of watching him fumble with his phone to call...
