At the very least, she at least needs to be called out on what a jizz-cock she is before either driving off, running her over, or shooting her.

I think I would have quite cheerfully backed over her.

Too much effort required there.

There is a completely different way to take it though, if you were able to find a space not too far away, and had the time, you could show up and stand next to her, explaining that you're holding it for someone as well and when both drivers arrive, they can fight to the death for the spot. It'd be interesting to see how far that one could be taken. Bonus points if you can text a friend to play along and show up in their car

That's why I'd just shoot her.

Must be the altitude. Though, if they actually use the term jizz-cock, Denver might be my new favourite US city.

Unfortunately in some states, (I believe many, if not all ) it is illegal to discharge a firearm from within a vehicle.

It's not worth trying to secure the space the woman is reserving for another driver....you may come back to your car to find that a tyre has been let down or someone has keyed the paintwork...

The purpose of that isn't to actually secure it for another driver, just to make her think you are, to see how far you can take the prank.

Though people that actually do the keying and whatnot are twuntflanges of the highest order.

Run her over...a few times...just to be safe, in case she had a gun.

Then shoot her.

In the face.
