Dec 2009 at 00:42 As many have said i park as far away from the store & across two spaces as possible then walk. STILL got a scrape on my n/s/r bumper that should machine polish out but that's hardly the point. What is wrong with some folks driving & conscience?

As in most other aspects of life now G a lot of people have scant regard for anything that falls outside the confines of their immediately personal experience.

It's an indication of just how perilous a state this ‘me, me, me’ society is in. Sad

Gutless, spineless, careless, insular, selfish, disinterested and apathetic blanks the lot of them. Thumbs Up!

Dec 2009 at 10:01 I was sitting in my old Vectra in a car park a couple of months ago and this woman in a brand new Golf parked next to me and got out with a distinct bang against my door, as clear as day. I said to her,she just denied it, and then her boyfriend tried to pick a fight with me. Furthest away space for me now.

oh dear, just been to Morrisons to pick up some things for the better half who's laid up with swine flu when I caught someones car with my towbar Embarrassed

Luckily it was just a cracked numberplate and as I was writing a note out with my details the owner appeared. I was so embarrased but she was fine. Fortunately her old man can get these at work so £10 later job done. As the lady said, it wasnt anything major but the main thing was that I didnt just drive off and she probably wouldnt have noticed any damage till much later. It was her daughters first car that she'd only had a few weeks so she'd have been gutted if someone had just banged into it then driven off. Just common courtesy really isnt it? We all of us make mistakes but its about taking accountability for our actions-a social trait this country seems to be losing Sad

I work in a supermarket - I park in the unused spaces, otherwise your bodywork just gets completely wrecked. Countless times I've seen kids just whack car doors into cars next to them and the parents don't bat an eyelid. Angry

Totally agreed mate,i always park in the part off the carpark that looks abandened with no other cars Roll Eyes

,to avoid getting those trolley dings off the kids throwing the door open,and no matter what i never leave it on the side of the road.

Sounds like a deserving candidate for a tin of expanding foam up the exhaust. Works wonders Thumbs Up!

I've seen some absolute beauties, mercs, beamers, alfas etc. shoehorned into the tightest of gaps because the drivers dont want to walk across the car park. I wouldn't be able to shop, I'd constantly be looking to see if my car was ok.

No, it isn't that.

It's the challenge of seeing how near you can get. Same thing at motorway services.

I always try to get as near as possible to the building, but I really couldn't tell you why. It's not (as my wife alleged before she stopped speaking to me altogether) because I'm lazy (I am, but that's not it).

As for the damage from other car doors, I've just learned to ignore it. Honourable battle scars.
