All the designers in my office are up in arms over a daily parking lot offense. It seems there is a Lexus SUV that habitually and intentionally takes up two parking spots in the main lot, right near the door. It pulls into the spots diagonally each morning.
Each day they say to each other, "Did you see the Lexus today?" No one knows who is it, but it really rubs them the wrong way. "Not only does the car use all the gas, it needs to use all the parking spots?" they ask each other.
This morning they spent 15 minutes talking about it. They assume it is not someone who works with our company but with one of the other companies in our office building.
Plans for revenge include egging the car, blocking it in or leaving notes on the windshield. Taking a more illegal approach, the Intern is encouraging them to key the side of the car.
On a day when the back windshield of the Lexus was dusty, someone wrote "Oh, you're SO important" in the filth with their finger.
The saga goes on...
I wonder what kind of person can justify to themselves taking up two spots. Do they really think they are that important? Has their car been dinged one too many times, so they want to protect it as much as possible? (If that was the case, I'd think they would park far in the back away from all other cars.) Does the person sneak in and out of the building to avoid being seen and associated with this egotistical behavior? How did they feel when they saw the dust-written message on their car? Do they even know they are exhibiting inappropriate parking lot etiquette?

Hil-a-ri-ous.
In my experience, people who are that uncouth have no problem owning up to their poor etiquette.
"Yeah that's my Lexus SUV," I imagine the offender would say, "wanna make something of it?"
