Tell me, why are others "assholes" for parking within the lines?  I
cannot count the number of times that inconsiderate drivers have taken
more than one space in an already crowded lot.  I used to drive a "boat",
too, but I have *never* been in a lot where I had to take more than
the space alotted between the stripes.

As for your assertion that drivers of compact cars somehow deserve to
be dinged/scratched/dented/keyed for parking properly between the lines,
but with the misfortune to be parked next to a space-hogging idiot:
bullshit.
