I sympathise!

Last week I was running late, parked in my usual spot, the furthest corner from the masses. A lady (colleague) in a 63 plate white TT parks inches away from the car, the door smashes into my side door. I got out and she sheepishly says 'sorry the wind caught it'.

As I'm walking away I hear a thud - she's only gone and done it a second time!

I had to carry on walking - I was fuming!!

Look at this inconsiderate plonker....I was there first, came out of the shop to find that some idiot had reversed into my car and left it touching my front bumper.

I gave up waiting for the offending person to show up as I had somewhere to be.

Some people just dont have any considetation..

That is the reason i always reverse into a space because if the car behind had done that then they would have reversed into my towbar.

In my dark, Mitty-like parallel universe I would've Tasered to b****** and while he was incapacitated set fire to his van. Ah well, in the real world there isn't a lot you can do. Water off a duck's back and all that.

Default You're Too Kind.

I took Denise out one day ( she's home by the way, it was E coli ) we went to have a little shop, she likes doing the charity shops when she's well. We get back to the car, and some idiot has parked his van in the entrance to the car park, blocking not just us in but everyone. I walked to the Police Station just across the road, they couldn't be bothered. When I got back to the car, someone else had come back and driven right over the pavement, thus creating an exit for all, I waved them all through the gap and then snapped off all the tyre valves off the van, then we drove home.
I'd have done some damage to the idiot in this post, maybe a close up of his windscreen..with his head.

you mean you WOULD have snapped the valves off, THEORETICALY, because theoretically an admission of criminal damage on an open forum may be admissible...

mind you, would love to have seen his mug...

It brightened up a dull day, it was because Denise was in discomfort and he'd stopped me getting her home. I'd do it again, it's quick and easy, all you need are pliers. I'd have loved to have seen his mug but couldn't wait because of Denise.

Answer I got was, " I park where I ******* like". And off he went. I got back in and moved car away to another bay. Went in for coffe end when I came out, he had moved the van and was parked alongside me again. No sign of him anywhere.

I'm not a violent person but did feel like doing something to the van. But thought better of it and drove out.
Im not a violent person as well but went to work this morning park my car as always and went of in my mates car to Leicester then about 9 am had a phone call that someone parked on my bumper
As we came back found out whose car was it brand new Volvo c60 with parking sensors and went in for him as we got out he just looked at it moved his car a bit and said nothing happened
im sorry would be nice
