The planners insist on a certain number of parking places, so the developers cram in as many as possible to meet the numbers.

You blokes just need to learn to park instead of over-estimating your size as per usual!  ;) ;D :P

Don't get me started on the size of parking bays I'm p1ssed of with dings on my doors. If you park correctly in a bay you have to be very carful when opening the door to avoid contact with the car next to you. I have also noticed that most of the little dents that appear on car doors are on the rear exits, no doubt caused by everyones "little darlings" getting out of the car  >:(

Resulting in a few dings and a small dent in my car in the office car park, I now park in another car park over the road which is less well used..... :(

An angle I didn't think of that. Saying that though, that'd probably irritate someone  ;D

Yeah, I park as far away from the entrance to the building, and everyone else as possible. Most people can't be bothered to walk more than 20 feet, so that's how I avoid dings, although sometime you still get someone parking so close to you you can't get in your car, despite there being nothing else around! Idiots!

Bloody women mostly ime. Oblivious. I wait in the car while Mrs G goes in sometimes. I make no appologies for what I've seen with my own eyes btw.

Hand bags scraped up doors with bloody great buckles and dangly metal 'dangle berries' hanging off them. Hang off shoulder and walk around taking no account for the space. If your bag is a foot wide on your shoulder you can't walk down the MIDDLE of two cars and not idiot one of them. Scratch clang ding.

Can't park. Can't get out of the car without dinging the next one (which is understandably difficult) when there's 3 empty spaces 10 feet away.

I reckon this is a good way to spot a spouse, if she can park, and park away from other cars, not batter other cars and holds her bag in behind as she walks to the shop, worth a go I reckon. ( ;D )

There are a few about with what appears to be awareness, sense, and respect for others property. No really I've seen them. I've sat there for days.  :-X  ;D (I haven't really ;D ) men too sometimes.

But add in obviously smaller spaces and it's a joke. Stradle a line and we risk a ticket. So who pays for our damage then, hmm?

Sit in the car in the car park and just watch the comings and goings if you get a chance. It's unbelievable.

I do, and you're absolutely right - it kind of shows you how pathetic some people are with their 'don't give a f*** ' attitudes to peoples' property, parking in disabled bays so they can save about 5 yards' walk, banging doors into adjacent cars then walking away as if nothing happened, blocking people in so they can step out of their cars to use a cash dispenser, it makes me sick...

buy a car you don't give a fig about and never wash it - most people will avoid parking their nice shiny SUV next to it  :y
