This is actually a bit of a hobby of mine. I call it passive aggressive parking. Whenever I can I park ridiculously close to people who have been unsuccessful in parking between the lines. The key is to make sure their drivers side door is blocked or that they will otherwise be unable (or will have great difficulty) getting out.

I only do this when I'm in my pretty banged up Land Rover...

I have no idea if the OP was parked between the lines but I have been plugging this hobby for years now and I know it's catching on....

I carry a puncture repair kit its very handy but it is unsafe to plug the side walls

I used to get fed up with this in the uk.returned to my car in a multi storey to find someone right next to the drivers door.just about managed to get in but in the process my keys must have been hanging out of my pocket as I squeezed down the side of the car.if they want to park that close they must expect the consequence.

Are you sure in some of these case that you are in the right?

You know the type when you go to pull in to last space in the car park and some a$$hole has parked ON the white line.

I always then pull in so that I am parked normally but they will have trouble getting in.

I will not compound problem by parking further over and allowing them room. Then next guy in thinks I am the a$$hole!!!!!

See this I will never ever do. I will just move on till I find another spot. Why because as much as you are right you are also a lot more likely to come back and find your car with a ding or a scratch on it and well fcuk that I like my car in good nick much more than I appreciate the moral high ground on parking.

I am intrigued by the points that you have raised and would like to subscribe to your news letter. :cool:

My little Seicento is 15 years old, has a few dents and scrapes and can fit into a remarkably small space! I have great fun wedging it into the partial space left by tossers that feel they are entitled to park across 2 spaces because they are so important.

I normally then take a photo of the offending double spaced car on the old camera phone so that I have a record of the reg and then go about my business.

Truckermal · 30-03-2014 1:16pm

I always take up two spaces but I always go the the bottom of the car park so I am not using an extra space. Parking up near the front of a shop is madness as you have the highest turnover of cars coming and going so the chances of getting your car damaged are much higher.

If I drove a 15 year old seicento I would be pissed off too.

I also ride a 1200 Kawasaki, hence my user name. No need for a big car to boost my ego.

I try to do what I can to limit my tax exposure to our corrupt polititians.

Had trouble with these asshole parkers in a previous job,spent time & effort blocking off part of a car park the evening before to allow me access with a digger,arrived the following morning to find the cones & barriers thrown to one side and cars in the 2 spaces.Luckily I had work elsewhere to do so came back later and blocked the spaces off again,deja vu the following morning.We bounced the cars towards one another & left just enough space to get a mini digger through,I worked away & didnt care if anything fell on the cars.The car park owner was going to call the cops to have the cars towed but I got more satisfaction in the thought of the owners coming back to find their cars mere millimeters from each other.

Regarding the op,a quick hard bump with the elbow or hip to the offending cars wing mirrors is the thing.They'll think twice about doing it again after having their mirrors smashed.
Act like a cnut,expect to be treated like a cnut imo.

Doing it at the back of the car park does not make it acceptable.

Can you not park correctly? Maybe you should get some lessons!

Totally agree, they might as well park sideways across a couple of spaces if they're that worried about their car.

If there are that many free spaces use just one, nothing more marks you out as a *ick, as using two spaces.

Absolute and utter low life scumbag someone parks a car badly and you criminally damage there car. Hopefully someday you get caught doing it and get what you deserve.

I have to laugh when people try to justify that crap because of the other persons action's. Criminal damage is just that, whether the other driver is a Cnut or not.

Mc Love · 30-03-2014 6:04pm

mods any possibility of using this thread for bad parking pics or is that a complete no- no!

2011abc · 30-03-2014 6:45pm

Transit parked across the 'entrance' to the (only) two handicapped parking spaces at McDonalds , Maynooth .When you have that much contempt for society and sense of entitlement its a bit scarey !

:pac: accusing someone of being a high horse because they don't condone criminal damage I've heard it all now.

Yeah,because I spend my days damaging cars.:rolleyes:

Actually I abhor anybody causing damage to somebody's car.All I said is that if you act the bollix you should expect retribution,the taking off the wing mirror was tongue in cheek,would you like it better if I told the op to piss on the driver's door handles of the assholes cars.No damage done there.

Wait until somebody mentions parent & child spaces,then you'll see bickering.

To be honest I can't see how that thread was/is any worse than the Dashcam one ! People expressing opinions . . . isn't that what Boards.ie has always been about ? How many google ads get displayed to all the people who view those threads I wonder ?

For those people saying their cars are dinged by people opening doors, is your car made of egg shells? I failed to see how somebody opening a door normally against another car would do that amount of damage. Fail enough if they give it an awful whack, but it takes a special effort to do that.

They don't need to dent it to make ****e of the paintwork.

visual · 02-04-2014 7:24am

I remember buying a new van and parked it on street along with everyone else.

I noticed it was getting rub marks at the corners and often I come out and there would be a car inches from the front bumper and another inches from the back making it almost and sometimes impossible to get out from the parking space.

Solution came from taking to another van driver.
Bull bars on the front and a tow bar on the rear
Notice when it was parked that suddenly there was feet to spare at both front and rear of the van.

If someone was walking past your garden and chucked the remains of a happy meal onto the grass would you think thats ok ?

Its the fact it shows a lack of respect for other peoples property. Whether there is damage or not is irrelevant.

So that's the problem then? People are not showing you and your car that you meticulously buff and polish every ten days any 'respect'?

It does not cause damage. It does not damage paintwork. Unless of course, somebody give it a proper slam against the side of your car.

Nonsense. I had two seperate panels creased by a woman leaning her doors against mine today, and to be honest the carefree "get over yourself" attitude that was shown is a worrying trend among a large section of motorists. People are only to quick to absolve themselves of any responsibility when they mess up.

A$$hole parkers.....
