Default this ever happen to u?

ur sat in ur car in a carpark for whatever reason and someone next to u comes to there car and u just have this gut feeling there gunna swing there door and hit the side of ur car, or at least touch it.

i was waiting in a hospital carpark for someone when this old t**ser came up to the car next to me, just looked like he didnt have a care in world, open his door and firmly planted it into the side of my car, even though he had enough room to open his door and get in without touching it, he didnt even no hed done it either.

it just pisses me off, i wouldnt touch a car in a carpark at all, i would even use my passenger door if i had to.

they either dont care or there thick as sh*t!!

happened to me once, well actually twice in the space of ten minutes by two different folk!

sitting in a carpark waiting for my boss to arrive so he can get his car in first.. some lady pulls up the passeneger swings door open *bang* (cheers ) .. so once my boss came he parked up and then some other dude left so i parked next to my boss, his worker opend the passeneger door *bang* (cheers )

i was like wtf is it with you's people! just coz i have an old sierra doesn't mean you should dent my door, or do passengers not care at all and think that doors are made for banging against each other.

happened to me once... nice pretty asian girl... I said "excuse me, you've dented my door" and she started walking off...

So I put my size 10 steel toe cap boot into her drivers door twice

She talked to me then alright, so I drove off

carparks should have bays that have a little fence either side, that would be great wouldnt it, no more knocks and bumps

I do the same at work (I work for Tesco) and was once told to move my car into oone space which was right in the line fo fire so to speak - told them to look at the sign stating 'Tesco do not accept any responsiblity for damages caused in thiss car park' and told em tough basically

I will park how I want too unless they are willing to pay for damages caused - we are not provided with our own carpark

also i hate people that just cant park.... get it all the time.. trying to park my van in a space... and just cant get in... so i just park as close to thier drivers door as possible.... its not hard to respect other peoples property or give some consideration to others......

We have the same where I live, neighbour and I went out mone morining about 5am on a Sunday LOL
We made up a template and marked out spaces 6ft wide (think it was - normal sized spaces) and ever since then not had a major problem except for one neighbour who just can't drive or park to save her skin

yeah unfortunatly, some old geezer in a big american thing....tbh with a car like that i expected him to be quite caring over it.

it was quite low and he was fat and old so you can picture him heaving on the door trying to pull himself out, and it hit my passenger door whilst i was waitin.
let it go cos it was only a tap and he was old etc.

then fuck me 10 mins later he comes back and im still there, does it again getting in!!!!

didnt let him get away with it that time, but he couldnt see what i was cross about
