Fuming!

Mobile gas chambers are required to deal with this scum!

Thank lord I drive a dirty, rusty rover 216 with no paint on the bumpers and a dirty great crack in the front one. I never have this sort of problem, infact I often come back to it to see someone has stuck a £20 note in the door and a pamphlet for a local shelter.:)
 
I remember a few years ago, when I had a beat up old ZX diesel, I parked behind another car. Just as I was getting out of my car, the reverse lights came on and it reversed straight into my car :eek:

Turns out the woman sat in the car had been doing her makeup in the mirror and hadn't seen me arrive and park up in the empty space behind her. She didn't bother to look and just reversed :rolleyes:

Her tow loop put a nice hole through my bumper but as I didn't give a rats ass about the ZX (and she was hot), I let her off :p
 
Totally understand the frustrations... I've had cars keyed twice and suffered my fair share of parking dents. I think most people are just ignorant but when your car is special to you a small ding can drive you insane. The car can be completely mint but one little ding or scratch and that's what your eyes are drawn to. I used to wind my girlfriend up driving round car parks looking for suitably safe spaces to park or making sure we went in her car to the supermarket.

I'm driving round in a cheap diesel golf atm I don't give a **** about while I save for a wedding. It's so much less stressful! I'm parking in the smallest spaces, hitting curbs etc it's awesome. But I've also learnt that the foot can be on the other foot... The other day I came back to my car and some flashy 4x4 had parked next to me. He was parked at an angle across the white line into my space leaving me hardly any room to open my door. Let's just say I wasn't very gentle when I opened my door and squeezed myself in.

I used to park at the furthest end of the car park and take up two spaces, only when there was plenty of space available. However, car park vigilantes still often tried to make a point by parking as close to the driver door as possible or putting trolleys behind the car and even going as far as to key the car.

Once, I was standing in Starbucks waiting on a panini and could see my car in plain view, within the white lines of a space. Some dillweed in a Mk3 Astra took 3 attempts to park his car as close to my drivers door as possible, even though the spaces next to him were empty. I watched him do all this then climb out his passenger side door. As I walked out I met him on his way in, said nothing, climbed in my passenger door and went on my way. I have never wanted to punch someone as much in my life.

It's part of having a nice car. Some people just assume that nice car = ******* owner who deserves a scratch or a dent. I'm glad I got rid of my Z4, it was becoming too much hassle as a daily driver as it attracted scum with a point to prove.

Just, wow.

I don't honestly get why you would do that. I mean just... what? Deep down inside I genuinely hope that he does that to someone get gets the absolute **** kicked out of him, ideally by someone with AIDS, who then spits on his face and rubs it in and departs with the line 'welcome to the club'.

When I had the S2000 I remember searching for what felt like hours for a parking space in a multi storey. Eventually found one, car next to me left, next car in parked so close I could literally not even pull the door handle as the 'pop' of the door would have hit his car. He looked over, clearly realised he was a *bit* close, put his window down, apologised, and move forward to let me get out quickly. He offered to give me his mobile number if I got back and couldn't get back in the car when we left.

I think a lot of the time people don't realise how hard it is to get out of a car with 'long' doors. The S2000 needed a lot of space to get out of the doors for what it was, and on a few occasions I'd have to climb over from the passenger side/put the roof down to get in that way. But what you had just beggars belief. I just don't get it? Thats more than jealousy surely?

If that was me I would have got in my passenger side, started the car up, then opened my drivers door ajar and double foot booted it as hard as possible into his door then driven off, but I am riding around in something pretty worthless atm ^^
 
I feel your pain bud I Just realised on the back bumper of my car someone obviously nudged it and taken a bit of the paint off. I can pretty much guess its the moron over the road who likes to park 1 inch from your bumper just because he is an utter pillock but as I cant prove it going to need to swallow the cost myself.
 
Currently waiting for someone to get back to me regarding cctv footage. Im hoping to catch the swine red handed. Although if it turns out it happened in the pub car park rather than at work it will be more difficult to get anything done as i dont really want insurance involved over a small dent.
 
Reminds me of the time when I was resting up in a service station car park. This scummy group of 4 fat chavs open their doors and decide to rest them against the cars either side. I was absolutely stunned that people would do this - hmm, then again, people? :p
 
Unfortunately, a high percentage of the population are scummy fat chavs who dont give a baboons bright red ass about anyone elses property :mad:

Saw someone at work the other day sat in their car at lunchtime, door wide open leaning against the car next to her! I knew whos car it was so happily informed the guy what i had seen :D

My neighbour keeps parking her stupid car too close to mine which is a coupe and has long doors, and is also left hand drive which apparently, in the mind of a woman who drives a small generic car, is not even remotely a possibility so we are talking a foot and a half.

I have started parking facing the other way so I can get out next to my more considerate neighbour in the space on the other side.

However, if I was to accidentally smack my door into their car or the wind caught the door and it left a mark and they complained, I would man up and take responsibility for my actions.

I just thought everyone in this thread should be informed of this.

Carry on.
 
Most decent people would feel guilty for damaging someone elses property and leave a note with contact details. I know i certainly would.

One of my friends at work recently had some idiot bash his alfa gt while he was sat in it. Guys response when challenged was that people do it to his car so tough luck :mad:
