Dozy Bint Awards. (or Dozy Plonker Awards... PC)
Only just remembered this....
In the X-Scape car park at Castleford, I found myself a Subaru parking space (2 spaces either side) and the family all got out. A few seconds later, a woman came and parked right alongside me in her 04 Saab, a bit close, to tell you the truth. There were hundreds of parking spaces. I stood there, watching with concerned interest as she opened her driver's door and sure enough she opened it against my passenger door. There was no damage but I gave her the exasperated "raised eyebrows". She replied with a simpering "sorry" then said " It's ok....... I've got door protectors on....
Is there any wonder why mild-mannered human beings suddenly go mad in this modern world?

It amazes me out of all the other spare car parking spaces available another person feels the need to HAVE to park their car next to yours What is it going to get lonely sitting by itself?
When I first got my Scoob I used to park it at the far end of the local Sainsbury's in the same way (a couple of spaces either side) but would would still always come back and find that someone had parked next to it - now I'm one of those annoying b$st$rds who parks it smack bang in the middle of 2 spaces

Taking up 2 spaces is fine if the car park is quiet, but, if it's nearly full then someone is going to take offence and probably key your car - I know!!!

parked mine in a car park on a sunday , so it was not to busy and ther was about 5 or 6 spaces either side of me . i got out locked the car up and me and my other half walked towards the lifts. as we got to the doors a ****ty old rover 200 parked up next to the scoob. i was like out of all the 60 or so empty spaces in the fookin place u had to park next to mine. any ways my missus said oh dont worry about it its a car park people park wherever they want! still not happy i waited behind the glass doors of the lift entrance just to be sure and what do u know WHACK!!! the little kid in the back kicks the reardoor open with his foot and imbeds the choclate covered winnie the pooh stickered rusty rover 200 door in my rear quarter panel. me= LIVID . then to make it worse the dozy cow goes round to get the little **** out and leans against the door which leaves a 2cm scratch on my arch. AHHHHH what are these people like!
after a quick argument with the missus (shes begging me not to go over and kick off) i calmly walk over and confront the woman who insults my eyesight by BLATANTLY denighing it , i showed her the damage and it was like" i didnt do that " anyway after a long war off words she gave in and gave me her number and adress and that id have to talk to her husband blah blah blah. guesss what.............................................. .................................................. ......................... the number is wrong and the adress she gave me is inhabited by asians, the woman was scottish!!!
pissed off still , still have the dent and still ranting about stupid f*ckers who shoulnd be allowed to ride a scate board let alone drive a car!

And M444GY's post is EXACTLY why I'm **** about parking spaces
Don't see why I should go out and spend 20 odd grand of my hard earned for some no brain and off spring (of which this country seems to have an ever increasing amount) to knacker it up!!!
Sorry to hear of that btw M444GY
Cheers
Andy

If you have the cars reg. number, then you can, through the DVLA, trace the owners. Ring the DVLA and they'll advise. However you do need a reason - it's not like 'well I really fancied the driver of this car - reg no, and I'd like to know where they live', but your case seems quite strong - I'd give it a go.

parking accross two spaces is pathetic, anti social and you deserve to incur the wrath of all others.
ask yourself this, is your car up there with the most expensive others in the park?
unless its a mint low mile late model then I doubt it very much.
boo!

It's strange but the more you worry about a car and the more careful you are parking it the more dents it seems to attract. I guess some of this is down to the tin foil bodywork but I hardly ever went to the suppermarket and my Impreza had loads of little dings down the side. Even if I was to park at the end of the carpark, in the end space in a row of 20 spaces I would always come back and find some POS parked right next to me.
Don't care about my current car in the slightest, park it wherever I want in the tightest of spaces and not a single mark or dent has appeared.
Have to say parking across two spaces is a really antisocial thing to do and depending on my mood if I ever see that I think I might park as close to the offending car as possible.

I don't really see why it's so anti social? If the car park is half empty and you park it out of the way of anybody else why is that so bad?
As I said earlier if a car park is full or near enough then I don't do it, cos yes then I am being an ar$e
But hey everybody is entitled to their own opinions

They say "Oops" and laugh, hoping that there is no damage or that you'll excuse a moment's thoughtlessness.
I tend to go on lightning raids for food to the supermarket. Try to park between two cars a reasonable distance from the doors and with luck the same two cars will still be there when you pop out 5-25 minutes later.
Having to develop my technique at the moment because the AXGT is sick. Funny, I thought replacing the heater matrix was a DIY job. I got dispirited when it started "refer to chapter.... to remove the steering column" and "carefully rotate the fascia assembly upwards allowing clearance to remove the heater assembly".

We live in a world inhabited by the "I don't give a sh**" brigade whose attitude is often "I dont give a toss about my car so what's the problem?" We also buy cars which display the dent resistance of Bacofoil!
The British are a nation of queuers and line formers. Taking up two spaces is risky, it can incite people to take revenge if no other space is available, or squeeze into it anyway.
It's not just the traditional door dingers who display this attitude. My wife came home with three dents - one above the other - in a rear door of her Primera. "You've been to the stables to muck the horse out" said I. "How can you tell?" she said, to which I replied "Next time you go, compare the dents to a three pronged pitchfork and if you find out who did it, stick the same pitchfork in the **** of their horse and see what they say" (the owner, not the horse!)
