BulletMagnet Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have decided to make a photo diary of anybody that parks too close for my liking. Entry No.1 April 9th 2009, Buttermarket underground Parking Facility. After driving around the structure I find a lovely triple spot. I park up and go into town to pay some bills. About an hour later I return to find this. At least the Peugeot driver left me enough space, but the Toyota..... Looks like there was no passenger in the Toyota and my passenger door has no marks (phew) The adventure continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Shocking. I parked in the old B&Q car park when i went to watch 007 and when i came back some nugget had parked so close i had to clamber in through the passenger side. He left inches! I was super P****d so i left a note on his windscreen telling him that any decent gent would take a girl to dinner before they tried to get so close! Its just so unnessesary!

BulletMagnet Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 argh, I would dropkick anybody I'd see that parks up using two spaces (especially when I am behind them and am still looking for a space too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 argh, I would dropkick anybody I'd see that parks up using two spaces (especially when I am behind them and am still looking for a space too) i kind of agree i hate it when there are no spaces left and some nugget has used up 2, i wouldn't do it as i'm sure someone would key my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I use two if it's a quiet place. But I use my Landie for most trips that involve parking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Entry No.2 April 9th 2009, Halfords Carpark @ Ransomes Europark Now this time I thought I was onto a winner, lots of empty spaces and I bagged myself a spot within 6 bays. I come back out after 5 minutes....... What the hell?!?!?!!? Not only is there loads and loads of other spaces, but he has to get "cosy" with my Zed too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i have the same problem, the zed is like a turd magnet, you could park in an empty carpark and someone would still come and park next to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 We have a private car park at work and although its a first come first served basis for which space you get we all know each others cars (especially mine) and some of us always park in the same spaces. I park in the very last space in the bottom corner next to a hedge in the hope that at least one side of the car is safe from being dinged! Today, somebody parked next to me so close that I could hardly get in the car and of course I couldn't get in the passenger side as the hedge was there! I literally had to contort myself to squeeze in! i was fuming! I will park far away in any car park and walk to the front door but for some reason I always get a beat up people carrier parking next to me!

Jay Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Classic thread I know exactly how you all feel guys and gals, no matter where i park my car or how empty a car park is, some numpty always ends up parking right next to me. Also not 2 mention how little space they give me to get in my car as am not exactly small. Happened to me two days ago i couldnt get into my bloody car as the car next to me was parked too close, so i waited and i was ready to kill someone untill a wee granny came up to the car and appoligised " as her parking isnt quite as good as it once was" Then i felt guilty and helped her putting the shopping into her car for her When i am old, i am gonna drive at 10 mph on the motorway in the fast lane in my mustang, just to p*ss everyone off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
