can't f@#king beleive some people

I can join you in the sentiment…

Last Friday night I went back to my parents house to have a meal with them and the Girlfriend. On the way home driving down a busy country road, some little fccuker in an on coming car throws an egg at the car. Suffice to say it scared me and the G/F half to death with egg now all over the window. Immediately hitting the wipers and using as much washer fluid as I could to get it all off.

Seeing as I was already on route to the petrol station I knew I need to get the majority of the egg off before I got home. Garages being garages I knew I could rely on the Water/Air supply to be working – NOT! Four bottles of Volvic water later and the majority of the egg was washed off.

Being pitch black when I arrived home, I gave the car another wash – Really fun at 11pm, and I could feel some damage to the bonnet. Looking Saturday morning there is now a lovely egg shape scuff with the paint broken.

Sometimes I just feel like giving up trying to keep my car clean and tidy.

I sometimes dream of keying someone's car. The ones who park diagonally in the supermarket, taking up a space and two halves. The ones who park in the spaces reserved for the disabled . The ones who roll up to the supermarket entrance and park right there across the zebra crossing. Sometimes they leave their hazards on, as if that made it okay. The ones who get to their space by ploughing through pedestrians.

I am just saying this because often, not in this case, there is a reason for getting a car 'done'. And day by day I am teetering on the edge of being a doer.

I never knew someone be so wound up by supermarket car parks

You need therapy!

I think I can safely say that none of the reasons you have listed above justify causing criminal damage to someone elses property

Lets wait till a loony mashes your car in a car park. Then you will change your attidue.

Unless someone like me catches you keying a car for the way the owner parked it to save damage then you'll have no fingers left.

I carnt believe you would cause 400 pounds worth of damage because you dont like people's parking.

Hoggers will now shell out 250 for this, no wonder it happens so often with your stupid retarded attitude!

Thank god we're 250 miles apart becuase i have a feeling there would be blood if we met. I ALWAYS take two spaces in a carpark if they are small spaces. I believe they should be made big enough to allow a car to open its doors in. It's outrageous IMO that this is not so.

I will park in disabled if the only other choice is next to a 20 year old rusting pile of crap because i know will get my doors smashed to fccuk when the p***k opens his door

. I've seen it done time and time again.

I will only park in disabled late at night or at any other time when there are lots of empty ones for people who genuinely need the service. It's not illegal to park in them btw.

I agree that it is wrong to park in children or disabled during the day and it p***es me off equally when an a-hole parks across crossings or simply leaves his/her car with the hazards on. Another thing i hate are those that park on the end of a row stopping traffic getting around the carpark.

I would NEVER key anyone's car

. If I had enough of a problem, i would confront them. I can't think of anything more cowardly, direspectful or childish.

and what about the disabled person

I used to regulary drive with a disabled person and if I saw someone parking in the disabled bay I would go mad. Once in Homebase I horizontally parked across the back of 2 idiots who had parked in the disabled bays and we went shopping for an hour, they were not happy when I returned to the car

Re: can't f@#king beleive some people - 26/09/2006 17:00

and how exactly would you determine if the car is driven by a disabled person? I assume as the car you were driving was a company car had disabled badges?

Suppose a 70 year old woman had driven her 100 year old mum to the shops and didn't have a badge in her car as another relative normally did so. I stand by what i say, you can't park across behind someone and leave your car there. You're obstructing traffic, parked illegally and could be stopping emergency services. You park eslewhere and bare it IMO.

I know what you mean. With my lovely 3-4 foot scratches from parking OUTSIDE MY OWN HOUSE, i feel i can park it without fear of a repeat occurance. Maybe it would look like someone's 'already pi***d up that tree' to a scrote

The badge has nothing to do with the car - it applies to the driver or passenger

You can display the badge in the window of any car you are travelling in - my mum used hers last week in our hire car in Portugal ... it isn't stuck to the car (unlike the US, where the diasbled sign is part of the license plate). You display it when parked in a disabled space and then take it away, particularly as there is a trade in nicking them from cars

In a pay and display, and you park across 2 spaces, I assume you buy 2 tickets

Also, IMO, parking across 2 spaces in a busy car park is as likely to p*ss off mindless eejits who can't find a space

Thanks Vics. I was with my Dad who was registered disabled and he carried his badge, so he could shorten walk his walk from the car, also the wider bays allowed him to get his wheel chair out easier.

So maybe when you have experienced trying to get a member of your family (or anyone) out of you car, when they have little mobility and some twat has parked in the disabled bay because they have a car that they do not want scratched. You can come back and tell me how you feel about me parking across the bays that able bodied people should not have parked in out of common decency for people less abled bodied than them.

Also, if you are worried about your car getting scratched in a carpark, go when it is likely to be less busy or take the bus

Unfortunately it happens, people are sometimes careless, we all are and not necessarily deliberately malicious...now deliberate keying because your brain cell is having a day off, is simply mindless vandalism and fu*kwittery, and should be punished by the law

I stand corrected about disabled badges. I always thought they were fixed to a registered vehicle to stop people 'borrowing' them.

I don't take two spaces in a pay park no. That would be taking the p**s IMO. The only one pay car park i use has a section where cars park diagonally side by side thereby stopping doors being swung into other cars. This is a better way of designing car parks as you only have one direction of travel and rows are narrower allowing a greater number of parking spaces. IIRC lakeside has this everywhere.

If i do take two spaces i always go right to the back of the car park where there are usually lots of empty spaces. I'm not talking outside the shop here

I'm not some ignorant a-hole. I respect everyone's car and personal circumstances. If everyone drove like me there would be no need for disabled spaces, or child parking. I'd leave a decent gap in a carpark with no lines ffs

As i can walk normally i always park away from the shop unless i take the pop-in spot for a few beers or such. I've never dented someone's car, nor hit it and left the scene.

This really gets ridiculous sometimes. You expect me to pay out all this money on my hobby and get the s**t kicked out of my car because of an ignorant scrote couldn't give a rats? It's not my fault that the world is full of w*****s that can't drive or show other people respect. I do what i do because i don't want them ruining my car anymore than they have.

Next time you see someone hit another persons car with there door, take it out on them. I fccuking would

Re: can't f@#king beleive some people - 26/09/2006 19:03

Why would there be no need for disabled / children's spaces - the front of the car park would always fill up forst - a) IMO it is logical b) it is human nature to want to be as close to your destinantion as possible c) people are lazy

You yourself said that you *only* use disabled spaces late at night etc when the car park is not busy...why? Surely if they are empty, so are lots of other spaces, especially those away from the shop

Oh and I wasn't having a go at you in particular - just in general at people getting so het up about such things...life's too short, no?

Hobbies are by their very nature enjoyable and should not cause grief...a lot of people don't really care about their cars (old/knackered/rental/company car/whatever)...it's not right, but is the way of the world unfortunately

Yes, I have had a go at someone for knocking another car, but I would be careful about doing so as I don't want to get attacked ... if it's some big rough looking bloke in a heap of sh*t car, I'm not going to take the risk

But maybe what you are missing, and I do disagree with you, but what you are missing, and this is not why I disagree with you, but what you are missing is the profit for Tescos. Who goes shopping Daddy in his small executive company car with the kids in tow or Mummy in her Landcruiser with the kids in tow. And when mummy goes shopping will she go to Asda with no child spaces or tescos with their nice big spaces for the kids to get out of the car which is nice and close to the shiop so Johnny and Jane don't get run over.

Its just for profit

Surely the point of the Mother and Child spots is so that when Mum goes shopping with little Tarquin (or Taz), as she is trying to extract him from his child seat, she doesn't bang the door against the adjacent immaculately coiffured FIAT Coupé? Which is a good thing?

Although I still haven't answered the question as to why these spaces are close to the supermarket front door.

I'm sure that someone on here mentioned the idea of larger spaces in the far flung corners of supermarkets that are never used, so that Executive Eric (or Erica) can park their Beamer, safe in the knowledge that there is plenty of room and the clearly inferior person in the clearly inferior car next door cannot accidentally dent his/her pride and joy with their own inferior doors. No reason why they can't walk a bit further for the privelege. They probably need the excercise, having been stuck at their desk all day. Sounds like a top idea to me, but never seen it happen though. Must have a chat with my local supermarket manager next time I see him on the golf course...

I think the supermarkets have it spot on. You should see how badly my own kids sometimes fling open the coop doors in the scramble to get in. If I have them with me the parent and child space gives you extra room to avoid damaging other cars. If on my own, I can park at the other end of the car park, well away from any other cars to avoid my doors being dinged. Works both ways for me

I do think the car space's are far to small , but it's all about greed , getting as many car's in , coupe's do have very long doors , I worry I might hit another car . (But I have not ) before I get pounced ! hehe

Were the Mother and Child spots are , I feel the disabled should be there instead. There the one's that need it more .

The Mother and Child spot's are good , as kid's get out , car door's bang into other car's, so that's why it's good, as Our car's dont get dent's in , but there's not enough to go around !

As you drive into most supermarket's there's lots of car places free at the back , but people always want to get as near as poss !

I hate the friggin big hump's in the car park more , there getting so big ! as they are down side roads !!

I love parent and child spots as it means my coop has lots of space around it and much less chance of being scraped by someone who can't drive or bashed by someone who can't see where they're opening their door.

I think that they're placed near the door so you can minimise the exposure of toddlers who haven't developed any road sense yet to those car thingies and maybe decreasing the chances of them being run over, perhaps.

Neil

Good observation, but I don't quite agree.

Justification can be drawn from beyond legal considerations. Morality is more fundamental than law. It can sometimes be justifiable to break the law. I can think of a whole range of circumstances in which I would feel justified in doing so. And given that this is the case, I reject the claim that criminal damage is never justified.

That is my starting point. The question then is when and where.

And I certainly couldn't say that arrogant, inconsiderate, selfish, provocative, or just plain piggish behaviour with one's car never justifies it. How would you argue for that?

One thing - anyone who feels justified in ripping my fingers off for scratching their car has already conceded my point.

*Who* decides morality??, is that done by vote then? you wil lget very different views on morality depending on whom you talk to and where they live.

the point in your argument that you say I would feel justified.

Maybe if you keyyed a car that was parking badly, hypothetically speaking, using your 'morality' approach, and then the group of lads to whom the car belongs to decideto come and kick your head in using their own 'morality' approach.. Noones right or wrong are they??
