I have the same problem!!

I did consider inventing a cloaking device similar to James Bonds!
But then I realised people wouldnt be able to see it at all and might drive into it!!!

I guess we cant win them all!!

People who have either never owned an unmarked 2nd hand car or purchased a new car in their entire lives simply cannot understand the concept of someone being bothered by a door ding. After giving this matter much thought I have come to the conclusion that they are indeed F*CKWITS

I now use a relative's runabout Tipo to go to the supermarket in, but optimistically look forward to the day when retailers update their generic car park bay size from the 1950's measurements that they currently use, to something more suitable for todays cars.

XBy2K - There is a certain amount of truth in that observation of parking next to a well cared for car, however if the driver was truely bothered about their own car then room permitting they would park at least 1 space away or they would park with their driver's door on the other car's passenger side in the hope that the car has a driver only and hence the passenger side door won't be opened. They certainly wouldn't park on the driver's side as a first choice unless they were in the group of people identified as f*ckwits.

I was advised to park next to another really nice (expensive) car if I have to - that way the owner is likely to be careful when openeing doors.

 

we should start up a posse of maniac vigilantes that wander carparks looking for f**kwits that park next to nice cars.

I`m not sure what we would do, but the thought of us lot wandering about is interesting.

 

Don't get me started on a lifelong bugbear, these people really pi** me off. I too use the pillar approach at work each day, even getting there early to ensure I get my loved underground spot

But it certainly winds my wife up when I either drive round and round a carpark looking for that elusive perfect spot, or park at the farthest corner of an empty carpark, only to return to people parked next to me, it is indead baffling

I can only assume it is the sheep instinct, they feel happlier close to another car than on their own!

 

It's a real pain, but not as unnerving as going into an empty gents toilet and having someone come up and pee in the urinal right next to you

 

that's definately against toliet etiquette

 

Never go to the ones in Baker street station then, not only will one do that, but another will join him on the other side, then they will both stare at you.

Bloody pervs

And as for parking, it's all about the mother-and-baby or shop mobility spots (when the shops aren't open). Or at my local Tesco's they have coned off the old bus stop where the free bus used to park up, so I just weave in the cones and park up there, then weave back out again.

Seeing as I can't park (oooh the shame, I blame power steering as it all started to go horribly wrong with the first car I bought with PAS), anyway...seeing as I can't park then I ALWAYS find a nice big space, however it so pi@@e@ me off when I get back and some complete inconsiderate tosspot has parked right along side, I mean it's just not ladylike to squeeze in with short skirt and heels is it!!
