These are the feckers who scratch your doors and ding your car!

Our local Tesco opens at 7 am so I decided to head up and get one or two things before work. At that time no-one else is really around so I have the car park and Tesco pretty much to myself. I drive in and park up the car. I'm just about to get out when:




Fast forward 15 minutes and my shopping is done so I head outside to go to work:




Just meant in jest so don't get too worked up!

Wrecks my head too.

A few months back I parked about 20 cars from the nearest car in the row, did my shopping, went back to the car and unloaded the trolley in to the boot, went to put the trolley back. When I got back to my car someone had parked so close to the drivers side of my car I couldn't actually open the door, they eventually backed up and fecked off to another spot when their brain computed that I couldn't actually get in to my car, bloody fools.

So you parked right next to the only car in the lot, and later another car parked right next to the only car in the lot.

Which seems unrelated to your subject.

This is not what happened

I was the only car when I arrived. In the first picture they arrived after me and proceeded to park beside the only car there.

Then afterwards the second car proceeded to park beside the only other car (me) in the car park.

Why did you buy a fiat? Fiats are crap.

So everyone says. But sure Fords rust, BMW drivers are asshats and I'm not, Skoda's are just cheaply made Eastern European garbage, Mercedes haven't made a decent car since the 80s and so on. What else could I have bought!

People who shop at Tesco have OCD?

Always best to park as far away from the entrance as possible - lazy b@st@rds won't want to walk that far :pac:

Every few months this exact same topic is raised.

It's really not hard to understand, some drivers park beside other cars as they use the other cars as a guide for the space. Not rocket science just human behaviour which we have to unfortunately live with as there really is no solution

Parking next to another car in an otherwise empty lot makes for better feng shui and besides that the cars would get lonely, the other person is just being thoughtful. car friends.

I always park in the furthest away possible spot at work. When I go into the office, there's about 20-30 free spaces in front and beside me. When I come out there is always some cnut parked next to on top of me :mad::mad::mad:

I'm seriously considering investing in a sign that says "My car is NOT lonely, please do not park next to it if other spots are available"

lol I do the same but have had to move to an even further away car park in the last year as this one who bangs every car she parks beside has decided to be my parking buddy. No one wants to park near her.

During normal hours I'm happy to park in a separate part of the car park which is covered over and a bit of a walk to the main door. But I thought at 7 am in the morning and possibly the only likely person to be there I'd be alright

They should paint lines on the ground to show people where the spaces are. They could then use those lines as a guide...........

You should go at 7am in the evening. It might be quieter

The reason people park like this is that they are afraid that parking in isolation will draw unwanted attention to their car. Parking beside a FIAT will draw that attention away to it.

I always park away from the entrance, at an end space if possible. I drive a quite large two door coupe and can never understand how people park so close. I have a baby seat in the back and sometimes I have to move to allow me to open the door wide enough to access the back and strap my grandchild in. He is big enough to clamber into the back while I move carefully to find space. It is a rule of mine never to park next to a 2 door or a car with a child seat, so I am particular about the cars around me when opening my doors.

If I see a car parked away from the entrance on its own I usually park beside them, cause I know what they're at, and it will probably annoy them. Might get a post on boards about me too.

ShadowHearth

In my local tesco I park in the back away from anyone. Those are awkward spaces and nobody likes to use them due to shape. If I can I use two spots as no one parks there anyway.

All cars I owned were completely destroyed by ***** banging their doors. Eventually my new car will be destroyed too, but I will try to keep it with good bodyshape as long as I can. Even if I will look like an asshole parking.

It's looks like they had the same plan as you, park in the nearest spot to the front door. What would have been weird is parking anywhere else.

If I see a car parked on its on in a carpark I always park beside it because that person is more likely to be careful opening their doors. If there is no car on its own I find the newest most expensive car with a free space beside it and park there. Don't want any more dings in my 20 year old rust bucket.:D

Had a large oul wan sitting in the passenger side rear of a Hyundai Tucson (I think anyway) reverse in beside me.

No car on their left, But decides to open right rear door and kick it open as she was shuffling across and kicks it into the side of my car.... (While I was sitting in it!)

Some people are just ****ing stupid.

Have also found people leaning their doors against mine.



So it's down the back and reverse it in hugging the kerb on passenger side or double spacing from now on.

I don't believe other drivers scratch other peoples cars......the cars do it themselves.....i also believe the earth is triangular

Blocked in at Tesco's?

Disclaimer, I have relatives in and spend a great deal of time in the country, but it drives me spare to see randomers (Usually shooting the breeze outside the church or local shop) sitting on or leaning against a random cars side or bonnet in jeans.

greenflash

Ha! I parked in a practically empty section of car park behind M&S at Liffey Valley this morning. There were no other cars in the row of spaces I was in nor the rows on either side. I was parked at least 50 metres from the entrance, which is out of sight around the corner but sure enough, within two minutes a Mondeo slunk in next to me with their driver's door so close to my passenger door that she nearly had to climb out the window to leave the car. I watched her all the way to make sure she didn't knock my car with her door as she squeezed out and once she was done she shot a look as though I'd just farted in her handbag

mdebets

They did it, to do you a favour. They knew you would be bored otherwise, so they thought, let's park beside him, so he can rant about it at Boards and has something to kill his time instead of just sitting around bored.

Stoolbend

You should have taken the space to your left. That would protect one side of the car.

You left both sides open for dings there.

Saw a post on fb of some guy in the uk who took up 4 spaces by parking in the middle of them in a shopping centre as he was sick of doors hitting his car.
