That's infuriating I know.  It's considered normal to rub adjacent cars when maneuvering.  It saves using up skill.

Run some self-tappers through from the inside for next time.  Then there will be no doubt about who it was!

I work in a supermarket - I park in the unused spaces, otherwise your bodywork just gets completely wrecked. Countless times I've seen kids just whack car doors into cars next to them and the parents don't bat an eyelid.  >:(

Good idea. Never try and park in a space that is already being used.

Parking where you have to walk for 30 seconds before pounding your credit card normally works. Can't be arsed to drive = can't be arsed to walk.

30 seconds? That's a lifetime to most shoppers. There's always a scrum for the closest spaces, even in beautiful weather  ::)

I've seen some absolute beauties, mercs, beamers, alfas etc. shoehorned into the tightest of gaps because the drivers dont want to walk across the car park. I wouldn't be able to shop, I'd constantly be looking to see if my car was ok.

One if not the greatest advantage of my former years as a company car driver was not having to worry about where you parked, who might park next to you, or for that matter, what pub you left it outside overnight :D

Sadly good ol' Gordon took all the fun out of it though.

Our MIG seemed to collect more "car park" scratches than anything else, and in a time period of less than 3 months.

Not one scratch on the Isuzu, and that is since July.....can't think why.

Which reminds me of some years ago when I lived in Hertfordshire, bit snobby in some area's, I ran an ex MOD series 3 Landrover and a new Mini Cooper, no one ever pulled out in front of the Landrover :y

Since having the re-spray done, I don't go shopping late in the day, early or lunchtime during the week, and park in a bay where they're are no other cars :y

like johnny I work in a supermarket, was doing a late shift so moved the mig from the crowded staff allocated area to the emptyish bit in front of the store about 9 pm only to come out at 12 to find a nice deep dent (complete with offenders paint) below the rear o/s light cluster and the chrome bumper trim sprung out. Too deep for one of these mobile dent fixers and no money to take it elsewhere. Im hoping my next door neighbours lad whose an apprentice panel beater can get it out without cracking the paint :(
