Xela Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 words removed in supermarket car parks who have no consideration how close they park to your car. Excuse me sweetheart, you can probably see i'm not made of elastic so how the **** am I going to get back into my car through a 3 inch gap. It's just the ignorance of people. When I park, I make sure I'm parked in the middle of the lines and cars either side have enough to open doors. These pond life don't even consider that. I'm genuinely considering buying a cheapo supermarket/car park/train station car for these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I broke the perspex lid on a brand new mixing bowl a couple of weeks ago. I managed to convince everyone that the people fixing the ceiling must have dropped something on it and it was like it when I got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a bit obtuse when I think about it now. I meant it to be in the same vein as "let them eat cake" to the peasants.....a kind of arrogant remark and leaning towards an extravagant gesture - i.e., buying a second car just for that kind of parking. It doesn't really work, does it ? Edited December 6, 2021 by mottaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really work, does it ? I've done some man maths and it would actually save me money to have a cheap second car to do the short runs around (shopping/local drives) than it would be to use my current car for everything due to the Audi having the fuel economy of a nuclear submarine! That includes insuring and taxing the second car. I know what you are thinking - just get rid of the main car. Well it seems to be appreciating in value at a decent rate at the moment and keeping the miles off it may assist further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's risen in price. 2k more. I loved ix35's so much part of me want to cash it in and go back to an older Hyundai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped off at the services on the way back to grab a chill and coffee. I was slurping my coffee back in the car, when someone parked so close to me, (even though there was about 10 million free spaces in the car park) when they got out, they used my brand new car as a door stop! If I could, I would have changed into the Hulk. I jumped out and said " it's a brand new f**** car you ************************. If he wasn't such a big fella I might not have even accepted his apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad used to have nice cars... always used to get dinged in car parks etc. He drives around in a 13yo rusty VW Caddy van now. Funnily enough, no-one ever parks next to him now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I remember quite a few years ago I parked our car and before we could even get out of it a guy parked right next to me and banged my car really hard and walked away.His car was in good condition so I got a 50c coin out of my pocket and ran it down the side of his car.Made me feel so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
