Why do people not respect other peoples property!!!!!!!!!!!!!!grrrrrrrrr

BIG P · 17th December 2008, 12:22

My poor beautiful ZT has been damaged in ASDA! They have very kindly left a green scratch the full width of the rear bumper.
I didnt notice until I got home, so I got my turtle wax out, its got rid of most of it but I know its there!!!!!! So think I may have to have it resprayed.

I can honestly say hand on heart If I did that to somebody elses car I would either wait or leave my details.
This has really annoyed me, because I love my car and take great pride in looking after it.

Really If these people cannot make their way around a carpark without hiting anything , then perhaps they should'nt be on the road!!!

Rant over.

I now park in the furthest corner and take up 2 spaces.....

Sorry to hear about your car

I always park at the furthest corner where no one else is parked, but when i come out i always find cars parked next to me.

I do this at our local Tescos David, the problem is that at that end of the car park all the learner drivers are learning to reverse and park and itis scary. I stayed in my car once and the bally learner chose to reverse park right next to me ...

you can't win!

Sorry to hear about your problems Big P I can commiserate

Sorry to hear this, P.

The same thing happened to me with 2 of my previous cars - flogging is too good for people like this

I now drive SWMBO's Nissan on trips to Tesco etc.

Sorry to hear about the scratch. Respect is a declining attribute and carelessness proliferates.

I have to park my ZT in a public car park overnight but I always go for a space that only has one adjacent parking bay to reduce the risk.

Must admit though I'd never deliberately take up two spaces. There's nothing more annoying driving round a full car park and spotting that there *would* have been a spare space if some numpty had of parked their car properly.

Simply because the phrase these days is:- "Easy come, easy go".

There are very few people who prize their cars as much as those who are members of a marque club.

As an adjunct, has anybody else noticed that when you go and park your car in the middle of the biggest empty area you can find on a car park, you return to find a cluster of cars all parked as close as possible to your own car which you parked there in the first place to avoid other people's cars?

JohnDotCom · 17th December 2008, 14:04

Yup noticed that.

Sorry to hear of your damage.
You could try Asda and see if they will let you see the CCTV tape to gain the Reg. Number of car that did damage.
Worth a go.
I was lucky at Morrisons with similar and it was caught on the CCTV.
