Tigger....is your hand free for marriage? Haha first girl I know!

Reading these posts it angers me. If I saw someone do it to my car I would dig out my baseball bat shaped "steering lock" but seeing it done to other is awful.

I can see the far end of the car parks are gonna be full of nice clean cars

I begin to wonder how some of you actually manage to drive at all, if you are that worried about getting stone chips and such.

How do you cope when the gritting lorry goes past, or do you have a prepared letter for the Council?

And as for complaining about a grass smell in your car, bloody good job you don't live in the country! Nothing like a layer of cowsh!t and mud on the exhaust.

Note that I am not condoning the actions of some of the "supermarket mafia" but I do think there needs to be some balance.

I take great pride in keeping my car's body panels ding-free, but my car looks like it's been sprayed with a crop spreader... there are varying degrees of importance. A bit of mud doesn't hurt, but bird **** gets wiped off immediately.

I still think people need to take care, if we are doing our bit to avoid a situation, yet some muppet follows you like a sheep it gets bl00dy irritating, and when theres no way of avoiding a certain place to park, we shouldn't need to worry if we walk off but we do because some people just don't care!

I don't like driving past gritting lorries, this makes me cringe too...

:(

It's almost like being a sport to see how many years you can keep a car immaculate, mud of course isn't a problem, it's physical damage which becomes unnecessary, and the more battered it gets, the more people are going to think, ah its got 3 dings on the door already one more wont matter because it seems that the person isn't that bothered...

When I had my Lupo GTi I looked out the living room window to see a neighbour rubbing the front bumper of my car - I went out to investigate and found a dirty black mark on my bumper and a small mark on my wing - he'd obviously driven his 'K' plate Astra (with black plastic bumpers) into a parallel space nose first (obviously too lazy to reverse in) and clipped my vehicle - rather than start an escalating war I decided to just leave it and paid for the repair myself.

Used to see him squeezing his car into spaces that were really too tight - as he had an old banger worth only a few hundred quid he really didn't give a fick - the day I saw he was moving out I was jumping for joy. **** all respect for other people's property.

Only last week I saw someone in an ancient Rover 620 reverse heavily into the car behind (he was moving out of a parking space - he had plenty of room so had no need to reverse back as far as he did) - he had a guilty look around and then drove off. I inspected the other car (after noting the culprit's reg. no.) and fortunately there didn't appear to be any damage.

In summary, if we could remove chav chariots from the road i.e. Vauxhalls and Rovers , decent people's property would be much safer.

this is why sometimes, i really wish I had a banger so if someone cuts you up or something you can hit them knowing their in the wrong etc!!! hey ho! I'm glad he moved out from your street!!

Exactly! We have a lot of seagulls round our way, it's like frickin' Finding Memo (mine! Mine! Mine!). It's pointless spending ages cleaning the car because they're vindictive little sods, they poop on it the day after you clean it...

Just to be clear I didn't complain because my car smelt of grass it was the disrespect of the guy operating machinery near my car with no regard for it

The very same thought has crossed my mind.

One of the pleasures of driving a bus!

This really winds me up as well! Also bad parking. When you come back and see someone parked awfully close you cringe!

I have an OCD of parking in a corner spot right close to the curb as I can get and also parking as far away from others!!! Pretty sad I know but when there's ****s that don't respect anything it really infuriates me!!!

In my local asda theres one car park space all on its own right in the corner i always head for this space...

as soon as i buy a car i have my dent man out to take out any dents, so i dont want any marks or dents when youve spent silly money having them took out.. i never park next to another car unless i have no other option & then i took the left side as near to a curb as possible..... now thats anul!........... am i alone..

I'm single and intend to stay that way! lol. I agree with you, it angers me as well, and I do have a short fuse! I do tend to park as far away from anybody else in car parks if poss, but you will always find some idiot who will park next to you, when the car park is practically empty!

I think they're just worried their car will feel lonely.

Me as well....too young for that.

I'm glad to find fellow OCD sufferers. Let's educate the masses!

I always like to think the real version of Herbie has chosen to park next to my car... but I don't think that's the case :( anyone choose to park next to someone in a car park? I prefer to strike out alone!

well im old & have been like it for years....lol.

i refuse to go to a supermarket as its a hateful experience thank heavens for sainsbury's online shopping,so i at least don't get dent's from car doors,but unfortunately it doesn't stop it getting vandalised when parked outside house on the street.

Oh God....... the Robshaw 'are you cute' countdown lock is counting down!!! Lol!

To make you all cringe, here's an idea of the luck I have with new cars........ year 2000, bought a Brand new Feli, looking magnificent in Pacific Blue, drove it from the dealers straight to my sisters & then on to a pub for lunch, less than 10 miles. Parked up near the pub & before I can get the key outta the ignition a Lady in her Merc bumps into the back of it. Next day, I'm driving through Dartford tunnel & a workers equipment causes 3 chunks of something to fly through the air & bounce off the bonnet, resulting in 3 different size stone chips!!

Moving on to 2003 & I've just driven my new Fabia silverline to the Supermarket, parked a long way from the entrance. Come back to find that someone has 'docked' a green Suzuki Jeep really close to it & opened the door hard enough to leave green paint & crease next to my door lock. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what happened next......

I'll park miles away for anyone and there are spaces I will always go for. I'll park tight to the kerb passenger side to reduce the chance of someone dinging my door. Bird crap comes off ASAP and I've been known to hose a car down late at night. I've been teased about how well I like to look after my cars but these people can quite frankly f@k off. These are the sorts of people who drive round in bog standard Clio's use bumpers to park and have never heard of a service. When I spend several thousand pounds on something you can be damn sure I'll look after it. My mother while drunk last week proudly told their friends I spent 6 hours cleaning and waxing my car that weekend. They seemed to be convinced the £5 wash by the Polish do as good a job. Yeah I bet... :wonder:
