I parked between two BMW's in a hotel car park in London, and they had both straddled the white lines. I had to get out through the boot, not sure how they got in though. laugh

There was always a challenge to park at work, and when a Merc did this in the last spot:

We watched the fat fella trying to get in through the passenger side from the upstairs window, ha! Park between the lines, ffs.

We have a white line outside our house ,my missus got it done by the council for £120 for my birthday when I was away for a few weeks,yes I know,it's not legal and any one can park on it, but if you block a person from getting out from his drive you can be done,strangely not getting into your drive doesn't count,it was done about 10 years ago and with Labour and the extra 3000 new laws Iam not sure now.

Really?

Why would you spit on someones car??

Why would you spit full stop? It's the last thing that comes into my mind at any time.

Anyway, back on topic. My girlfriends Mum lives in a road close to Liscard which is residents only between 8am and 6pm so shoppers can't park there. Opposite her are two houses, both with driveways. One of them has 2 vans and 2 cars and does not use the driveway. Quite often there is nowhere to park on the road due to these 4 cars taking up lots of space.

One of the cars could be on the drive but then it'd be in front of their living room window, that's presumably why he doesn't do it.

Another guy on the same side of the road has one of these long Rover 800 things, he doesn't use his drive either, instead parks on the road taking up 2 potential spaces.

Me? Well I park over either of their drives providing there's no cars on it.

People are so selfish with their parking it's untrue.

Remind me to keep out of your way, I'm renowned for pissing people. Luckily people can't spit at me through the screen judging from the last couple of days.

I have to admit, I will quite happily park over two spaces at the back of Asda. It's the lack of foresight and consideration displayed by people who don't understand how much I value the bodywork of my car that I am protecting against.

I know what your saying bud, but its not really a reason for you to gain 2 spaces because your cars nice.....unless your talking about doin it of an evening when its not that busy enough for the spaces to be filled.

I wouldn't do it if the car park was chocka... but then I don't shop at times when it would be for that very reason.

I've had people throw their door open into the side of my car and then comment 'it's only a car'.

People lack respect for other peoples property, and if I have to come across as 'unfair' or 'arrogant' or just a complete knobhead then I'm more than happy to as the end justifies the means.

I appreciate many others don't agree.

It also has nothing to do whether the car is nice or not, whether it's a Lambo or a Lada, it's mine and I would prefer it staying the way I like it.

Agree with you! Some stupid woman in Sainsburys banged her door into my car (when I was sat in it) and I very politely said 'can you be careful please' and she started shouting at me... Fail... she was so fat she would have needed at least 6 spaces to allow her to get in and out without damaging other peoples cars...

Yep, I do the same, use two parking spaces to avoid people banging their doors against mine. I do however, help the situation, by purposely parking further away in the overflow car parks etc, when visiting place, to ensure there is as few cars as possible who want to park there. I think quite a few people do the same thing, as you always get a few cars parked in the further car parks, even when the others have plenty of spaces.

A few years ago, one of my cars got two small dents in the doors on successive trips to Tesco. The arseholes who had done it, had obviously quickly scarpered without so much as an apology note on the window.

Until people get a sense of common decency and respect for other peoples property, I will continue to use two spaces where possible - and I guess this will be forever, since its never going to happen. If I am in a situation whereby there is one parking space, and I have to park next to or in between other cars, I am always very careful to leave enough space for me and the other cars to open their doors, and extra careful not to hit other peoples cars. I guess this is a sort of "do unto others" attitude, but in reality life doesnt work like that does it lol.

Reminds me of not too long ago when it was windy, some kid just opened his door and it nailed my door, then the kid in the back did the same to my rear wing.

Mother said, "be careful in future kids" - I was raging, to the point where i drove around for 10 mins wondering whether to go back and give her a couple of creases. Never the right reaction though is it.

I wish I'd asked her for her insurance details!
