I dont necessarily think you gotta yell. You can be stern, polite and still go off on someone. Especially when theyre in the wrong.

Its hard to do because once the adrenaline gets going its likely to escalate. But you could easy just be like "look i dont have to move for you. I am in the lines of my parking spot. YOU are over the line. Im happy to move my car so you can get into yours, but please address me respectfully, or i'll leave my car rightfully where it is. BTW if you decide to do anything to my car. Ive already taken a picture of the parking job you did and your license plate."
