Title: not a happy bunny
Post by: peter the butcher on 25 January 2014, 16:10:06
well, as it was my day off, thought I would pay a friend a visit, he was trading for the first time in Pontefract market. After eventually finding a parking place, I very carefully reversed in (not as easy as with a small car lol). Went and saw said friend, returned to the car, ONLY to find that the car that was parked next to me (well presume it was that one), had scraped my front bumper on the corner, and made what is a right mess. Will cost me a arm and a leg to have it painted etc. Inconsiderate barsteward  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Maybe a replacement bumper in same color would be cheaper than respray  :-\ I have found really old people inconsiderate when opening doors into your car ect  >:( Judging distances seems to be their problem also  :o Had 2 old women passenger of other cars open doors into mine and one old woman leaning all over the bonnet as she went pass  ::)

Women (especially with sprogs) in supermarket car parks are the worst; either they themselves or their little accidents couldn't care less how clumsily they open their doors. I try to park in the Parent and Child spaces when available as they are wider and allow a little more chance of avoiding dings.

I always park in the parent/child spaces where I can... and I don't have a child (thank God). People may think that's bad but I'm fed up of parking in supermarkets and returning to some part of my car bodywork damaged  >:(

If I ever catch one doing it...... God help them. If I'm coming out, see it, and they're going in the store... their car will be nackered!  >:(

2 am on a Monday morning at local Tesco. Car park had maybe eight or ten cars dotted around an area of around a thousand parking spaces. I came out to find some numpty had parked so close I had get into the car via the passenger door and climb over.
