Toon Chris Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Unfortunately, it doesnt matter how far away we park our cars or what efforts we go to to ensure people dont park next to us. You will always get some tw@t that decides to park right next to you! I got to this car park dead early on a Sunday morning. Saw the empty car park and parked right in the end space to ensure that no car would possibly park next to me because of the ample spaces available. I was gone for 20 minutes before I return to the car and find this: The stairs to the shopping centre are at the top left of this picture! Maybe he thinks, "Hmm. If I park next to that stunning car he is less likely to bash me with his door". Or maybe he is a lemming. Who knows. PS: I assume 'He' because I can't imagine a woman being proud of such a hid car and that would blow out my argument.
Peteyb Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Had this on wednesday morning, parked up tuesday night in my normal spot. Came out in the morning and the rear bumper was ripped in the passenger corner, unfixedable, was fuming!! The zedshed sorted me out tho
Willsy1980 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 YPLAC If that is an acronym for what I think it is, why thank you very much. Yes I do park like a Champ 1
Ekona Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 You're nearly there... Although I don't know if you're the grey or the yellow car, so it's 50/50 whether it applies to you or not 1
350zedd Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I usually carry a wodge of these around with me and stick em on the offending motor! 5

Willsy1980 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 No, YP'edLAC! :lol: Again thanks To park that ignorantly takes a lot of practice :0 1

PS: I assume 'He' because I can't imagine a woman being proud of such a hid car and that would blow out my argument. He could well be a car enthusiast and this is his daily, therefore knowing how much a car can mean to someone and has genuinely 'done me a solid' by making sure noone else hits it. Of course like you say if its a woman then she has blatantly parked there out of sheer ignorance of her surroundings haha I usually carry a wodge of these around with me and stick em on the offending motor! Not going to lie, I am stealing this and using it!! lmao
Strudul Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Here's a selection of alternatives you may appreciate that I've come across on my travels through the internets: 1
Ekona Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 There's a website dedicated to it, it's got some proper dodgy parking on there 1
Ebized Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I've come to the conclusion it is best off finding a space between two cars that as a new as possible, other than between two obviously well kept cars that collectors go for. Owners of the new cars are likely to be more careful, until the novelty wears off. And as a bonus, just hope those two cars are still there when you get back to yours ..... Sadly, I believe the increasing number of cars bought on lease etc is likely to mean car park dings are on the increase as from what I hear the finance companies don't worry about small dings/dents/scratches at change over time...so why should the owners
TT350 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Oh - another regular offender... Mums with MPV, a troupe of brats running amock and too much shopping. Count the times her precious spawn fling a door open into the side of YOUR baby. 3

ATTAK Z Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Pretty sure it's generally accepted that "there's" can mean "there is", "there has", or "there are". It may be inappropriate in formal English, but in the informal setting of this forum, I don't see an issue. No arguments with 1) and 3), though there should really be a 4) covering punctuation. You can have my job ! 1
JetSet Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Oh - another regular offender... Mums with MPV, a troupe of brats running amock and too much shopping. Count the times her precious spawn fling a door open into the side of YOUR baby. Saw this the other day in ASDA, young child throwing his door open onto the car parked next to them. Mum advised him to be more careful and left it at that. Older people aren't much better, after my Dad died I used to take my Mum to the shops once a month and she put a really nice dent in my door when she threw it open onto the wall in her driveway and I'd left her plenty of room to get out....This was obviously before I had my Zed.

I hope you had strong words... Someone slams my doors into the wall, I'm doing the same with their face. See how they like it. Edited December 6, 2016 by Strudul 1

Strudul Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 And then there are some that should just be put down.... The children or the parents? 2

I did move a road cone I found in a car park once and put it in front of the bay next to mine; it was clear that the space was fine I prayed on the laziness of others and it paid of! ... Now if only a road cone fit in the boot. (PS. I work for a leasing company and we still care about damage)
