Default Parking Tw*ts

Went and did some shopping earlier. When I got back to the car there was a Micra parked next to me, about 3" from my drivers side.

They had actually gone to the effort to reverse meticulously in next to me blocking my door, so much so that the only way they could have got out was by climbing over the passenger seat themselves. Kudos to them for managing it without touching my car. I couldn't even squeeze between the cars to even get to my door, let alone climb in. Makes me so ****ing mad that someone would do that.

After reaching across the passenger side and putting my roof down, I managed to climb over and get in. Then came the struggle to reverse out of the space without hitting their car myself.

****ers.

Did you not fancy hanging around to give them some abuse?

But on the bright side, they didn't damage it.

I had someone regularly doing this to me where I used to live. I came home in the beater one night, and there was only one space left next to the offender in question. They had parked next to a wall with the drivers door on the other side...

I actually went to the lengths of getting out and pushing my car into the space to get it as close as physically possible next to their door

C**tish but made me happy

Car park spaces are rare in work so when I found a guy parked basically over 2 spaces for NO reason, I made sure he would have had to get in the passenger side

It's one of those car parks where you pay at a pay station before going to your car, so it would have been too much hassle.

I did, however, have time to let all the air out of his tyres before I left. Didn't want to say that in my first post. Wanted to see what people said first.

I wanted to leave a lovely note under the windscreen wiper as well, but I didn't have a pen with me.

I attempted lifting their car out of the way first (s'only a Micra) but I couldn't manage it.

I have a handy tyre valve removing tool for just such an occasion - never had cause to use it in anger, yet

I'd have to hang around for the comedy value alone watching someone trying to put air back in

I would have loved to hang around, but it's a fecking expensive multi-storey.

Even more so for them, unless they decide to risk driving out of it with four flat tyres.

Get yourself a pad of these and keep a pen in the car
