I really sympathise with generationgav here;

I have finally convinced my wife to park well away from the entrance of supermarkets, and walk to the entrance, oooh at least 45 seconds, rather than come back and find some dozy tw*t has dinked your car.

But, why is it that I go into a large superstore car park, when it is not busy - I park at least 100yds away from the nearest car, in my own area of the car park. When you come back somebody has parked next to you rather than use one of the 100's of spaces elsewhere. It must be something to do with lining themselves square with an already parked car.

I have actually caught people in the past openeing a door on my car, and it is amazing the reaction you get when confronting them, they walk away like you do not exist - They are 'untouchables' nothing gets through, ignorant is not the word, more like scum.

I know I may get slated here, but I now almost double park the car, straddling a white line (only on quiet days mind) , rather than the get the car dinked again.

I was thinking that it is almost seen as a given that this happens, with a shrug of the shoulders. But, if someone came along and slashed 2, 3 or 4 of your tyres, which would probably cost the same money as having a ding/scrape removed - There would'nt be a lot of shoulder shrugging then.

Rant over

as you can see this is one of my pet hates.
