I would have spoken louder: "Hey man--you have the whole parking lot for a
spot and not only do you take a handicap spot but you almost hit my car
squeezing in next to it. If my car is damaged at all because of your poor
skills, you'll pay for it--and your insurance carrier won't. In fact, I'm
writing down your plate # and make/model in case you try a little hit and
run action."

People like this deserve attention for their stupidity and thoughtlessness.
