Tesco Door Bangers.

[Longboarder]

A frequent occurrence I know but yesterday I was fuming. Got back to the car and found the old bag in the next space with her car door touching mine. I asked her to be more careful and she growled at me, closed the door and drove off. Another car immediately pulled in to the space and the younger woman driver swung her door open, bang into the sameish spot on my car.

I said, 'Can you be more careful, Please?'

She said 'It wasn't me. It was the wind! There's no damage.' Then she walked off and obviously didn't give a monkeys. Neither did she feel the need to apologise.

 

What is the correct course of action?

Slam my door into her car.

Key her car.

Let down a tyre.

Curse and swear at her.

Beat her to a pulp. (Bear in mind I'm 5'4" short and nearly 70. Most 10 year olds can take me easy!)

 

But seriously what do you do? Just grin and bear it? Always park in the deserted area of the carpark furthest from the front door of the supermarket?

Infuriating innit?

 

At the moment I park as far away as possible & deliberately take up 2 spaces.....

I have a "Caution.....Grandad driving......frequent stops" badge in the back window,

just so they know I am an old codger & usually make allowances.....but not always.

Buy yourself a battered old bange with big bad dents in every panel.

 

People will then leave two spaces clear of you on both side.

Ask for their insurance details, when they whinge say chips away will probably do it for £60 and point to the cash machine. Works most of the time!

I avoid supermarkets like the plague but when I have to go into the lions den I always take two spaces.

I have a 16 year old Ford Galaxy with the wing mirrors held together with tape but no marks on any of my doors.

Get a blue badge..... Loadsa room

 

Other than that, you would have to change peoples morals and behaviour which has been on the decline for years.

Big white transit van park in centre of space then they have to get in passenger side or be stick thin to get to drivers door

[Longboarder]

What a moral bunch we are. No one said, 'Wait till they go in the shop and put a dent in their door.' I'm not alone in feeling helpless, faced with the vagaries and vicissitudes of modern life.
