Don't you just hate it when someone opens their door into your car in a car park?? Got two nice marks on my previously unblemished offside rear door where some idiot has banged into it getting in and out by the looks of it.... not happy >:(

I know what you mean mate,it also annoys me,especially when they pull up next to you,and they have small kids who just fling the back door open.Whenever i park anywhere,i makesure there are no other cars about ::),or if i cant,i makesure i wait in the car to be on the safe side,and send the missus in instead.A bit drastic i know,but at the cost of £40 to have a small dent removed,you can understand my actions. :y

A few years ago I stopped at our local 24hr Tesco. It was 2am and there were 3 or 4 cars parked in a car park that holds about 1000 cars.
When I came out some numpty had parked so close that I had to get into mine via the passenger door.
How do these people even get a licence to be in charge of a wheel barrow, let alone a car ? :-?

Always park as far from the shop as you can. The scum who can't be @rsed to look after other people's property can't be @rsed to walk 50 yards either. :y

I have a guy where I work who always parks next to me and has 2 wheels in the space I park in - I always get in early as well so I can get a spot on the end so I can park right over but he always has 2 wheels in my bay too - no idea who it is but the first time he marks my car ( i know every mark on it) then he is getting my size 14 in the middle of his door!
-
My local Waitrose store has thick metal posts placed everywhere amongst the parking spaces making it very difficult to "swing out" where necessary, so having to joggle around to get in or out, my mother is 86 and has difficulty walking to the store from across the car park, there are always plenty of disabled spaces available next to the entrance, so could they legally stop me from using those ? :-/

leave a note on his windscreen, or report him to management for innappropriate parking.

I usually park in the same spot, on the end of a row to minimise damage (it's a wide car as you know), and normally this very pretty woman in a Matiz parks next to me, so I usually never have a problem... she had a day off on Friday though, so I guess I was fair game... it was silver, whatever it was.. >:(
-
I always park as far away from the store a i can where it's empty & devoid of idiots & their sticky fingered children, a short walk never hurt anyone.
If it's that crowded & i spot 2 spaces i'll park across them both. Maybe out of order but so is folk opening doors or leaving trolleys against my hard earned polishing.

No problem, if she has a Blue Badge....... :y
If not then please do not park in disabled bays, those that do can, and should, be clamped...... :)

I would have accidently ran my key down the side of his door for his trouble :y

I've maybe told this story on here before.
My wife watched a local tile suppliers van driver open his door on to her Land Rover and dent it .She started to walk towards him and he jumped into the van and drove off. When she told me I called the company told them what happened and gave them a driver description , the time and registration but they denied the van was in that area and basically laughed and told me to **** off.
About three weeks later I was in a large builders provider and lo and behold what comes driving in and parks two places away from my van. I waited till the driver went in and then using my trusty ball pein hammer did exactly the same , well nearly the same ::) as he did to ours .
Childish ? maybe, but extremely satisfying...... :y
Cost € 30 to have it removed and it's as good as new now.

There seems to be no end to it!! In the same car park today, I came back to this....
(http://www.glenn.cotse.net/car1.jpg)
.... there's no marked space behind where I parked, so they just tucked in their Ka and left it. Yes, they are touching... guess it's time for me to find another park! >:( >:(

Never seen anything so bloody ridiculous in my life >:(
if that had been my car i would be absolutely fuming.
-
I know - especially as they just left it there!!
Luckily, the small mark on my bumper has polished out.... however, the unlucky owner of the Ka would have returned to find a parking fine on their windscreen - they did have a ticket, but were not parked in a designated bay.... the parking attendant just could not believe it!!!!

I had someone park so close they hooked their bumper over my towball.
I was so upset that it didn't rip off the bumper :( :(

Parked up, however lamp post about 6 inches from passenger door. Came back to find a car parked so close to my drivers side (about 9 inches or so) I could not open my door, I actually had to dent the car with my door to get the door open enough to open a window then knock off the hand brake.
Then ran after it before it hit the car infront - gentle slope.
Got out after 10 minutes and one shithead owned dented & scratched car (my door and my bum).
-
A few years ago (over 10) I dented a van parked next to me. A few hundred spaces or so, two vehicles total, so why did the van park too close to me?
Putting baby in child seat - I made more room by bashing the van with the rear door until there was enough room.
The van side bent quite nicely from my door.

I see stupid people.... ::)

I always take the cars rego that is next to me and write it on my hand. If not I take up two spaces so they have to park at least half a space away.

Life's to short to worry about a dent on the car door. Or rust. It's an Omega - it's not going to rot away, it's already old, and it doesn't matter how smart it looks, you aren't going to get any money for it when you sell it! :)

Not the point though, people should have more respect. I always try and buy behicles which are mint with no dents, I hate bad bodywork.

I don't want to sell it, I know it's worthless in cash terms, but it does matter to me when it's parked on my drive! :y :y

I agree - the car is only a hunk of metal, but it's the lack of consideration for others & their property that gets me...

Yep it is a real worry when you have a lovely car :( :(
For a few years not that long ago I ran a 19 year old Toyota, with virtually every panel having a ping of some kind, and I had roughly painted it a two tone silver and red. It was like a teenagers old bomb! I could park it anywhere, without worry, knowing a few more dents wouldn't make any difference, and the almost worthless heap was covered by T P F & T insurance 8-) 8-)
It was sooooo therapeutic to for once not have to worry about a car and where I left it :D :D :D ;)
