word to that. the two-spots people REALLY PISS ME OFF and so i always, ALWAYS take care of them:
it's actually easier to get fantastically close by tailing in, especially your driver's side to their driver's side. always, always block their driver's side, or else all they're likely to do is pull out, turn early, and wrinkle their car on yours. this way you piss them off in addition to them possibly hitting you and getting a point on their record.
tail in so close that you have to fold your mirror in to avoid scraping their car. tailing in gives you precise control over the ass end of your car, which means less likelihood of YOU hitting them. the disadvantage is that you have to climb out the passenger's side of your car, too, which makes it much less cool.
then take photographs of how shitty they parked (with the camera that you always carry), and of your car parked next to theirs, and get the space between. then post them on the web and laugh at the fact that they had to climb in the wrong side of their car to get in.
oh, and make sure you're insured against vandalism.

ps - about shopping carts... some bitch in the aisles? i will either say 'excuse me' or move it myself. if it tips over and the baby cracks its head, it's not like it's my baby or anything. he should have been wearing the little included seatbelt anyway.
i hated shopping carts in parking places. then i realized i had a vinyl bra on my car and the whole front valance costs a whopping $520 to replace (oh, did i say "no deductible on vandalism insurance?"), and i could just push them the fuck out of my way when i parked.
