What Would You Do: parking lot rage.

Let’s say someone was leaving a parking spot in a full lot for a movie theater and you are signaling for the spot with no other cars around. As the people back up and head out, another car darts in front of you and takes the spot you have been waiting for. Would you say something? Would you curse to yourself? Would you get revenge?
I have to admit, I might not be as bold as I used to be, but one time this happened to me and I actually got a bit of revenge. I scratched the side of the car and I poured my Jamba Juice drink all over the car, including the door handles and the windshield. It was a particularly hot day, so I can imagine the juice dried a bit… hehehe. I might have also dropped a few four-letter bombs…
I’m not condoning this, just asking what would you do in this situation… ???

I say I'd leave it alone, no sense in getting worked up over it, you cant change it, and revenge as you have described it bad, because suppose they have cameras in the parking lot, it might end up costing you in the end. Plus, as a woman, whos kids usually go everywhere with me, I wouldnt want to get into an altercation.

Yeah, there are a few different reasons not to get involved like that anymore. I've learned that there are more important things in life... and I've also become a firm believer in karma, too...
the one thing I'd be worried about is an altercation. I want someone to know they were wrong, but I wouldn't fight over it.
I use this example more to show people what not to do... it's always better to just let it me. That's the lesson you can learn from this situation.

This is why I would rather wait till the movies come out and watch it on dvd, in the comfort of my own home, instead of going to the movie theater when it's crowded LOL.
Even though someone makes me mad, I wouldn't ever do revenge on them because the negativity will come back to you. You know the saying "What goes around comes around"?

Absolutely, I live by it now...
Like I mentioned above in another comment, things like that and karma scare me... hehehe.
