I`m not sure what we would do, but the thought of us lot wandering about is interesting.
1. Choke hold and take down
2. Finish
3. In the unlikely event of it ending up in court, insist on a jury trial of one's peers i.e. owners of nice cars that have been dinged

Sorry Don, guess I've got a way to go before I reach those buddist heights of enlightenment

What we need is parking bays like they got in the USA, I mean those spaces are fecking huge!!!!!!

I think I might have to keep my other car when I get the S becos I think mine is also going to be an A - B - A car as well.

Some people don't give a shit about their cars, their houses, their appearances, their kids etc........bunch of a$$holes.

more glares......

they then went into M&S so seeing as it is a free world I left my business card with the registration of the offendingly closely parked vehicle on the now dented car's windscreen!! Probably not the nicest thing to do I know.

Well Done PL.

I use mother and baby spaces - no apologies as its usually mothers and baby type cars that result in the door dings. i.e. they swing the door open to get the pram out/in. Strap the baby in etc. etc. Maybe its about time the greedy supermarkets had bigger spaces eh ? they are out of town mostly anyway

one of the posts tells us to be mellow..OK..but who is paying for the dings?

I can count on one hand the times I have parked in a public carpark

...and despite following all the advice of where to park and where not....

result after 5 visits to a shopping centre.

one ding in the front wing...estimated cost of repair by Honda 500quid.

so more or less 100quid a visit

Ferries are even worse. And old people and kids are the real villains in denting - not very flexible and just plain unaware respectively.

I won't get out of the car until the people around me are out. It's hilarious watching them contort themselves - as they damn well should! I also get back to the car first as well..........

I don't think it's unreasonable to get worked up when it's

Gaddafi - you are sooooooooooo right about kids. A snotty faced little sod but a dent in my Pug when it was about a week old by opening his Dad's rusty old Escort door onto it.

It left my paint on his door and his rust on mine!

Annoying thing was that I saw him do it - but there's nothing you can do about it. (Well not when the parents are there )

Any parents out there - remember - this is what child locks are for! (Nothing to do with stopping the kids from falling out.)

Actually, I quite like kids.

Preferably medium rare with mustard and a nice Saint Emilion.
