Someone just hit my car!

[gina2201]

Aaaah, just had a phone call from my brother who was just leaving for work to say some idiot can't park and is getting very close to my car! So I dash outside and there's some bloke trying to parallel park in a space big enough for my brothers estate (and room to spare) with his rear bumper literally sat on my front one! I saw my car move slightly as he pulled forwards.

The space is literally big enough for one and half cars plus the other side of the road had a space to fit 3 cars in it!!!!

Couldn't see any damage, it's far too wet but I rubbed the rain off a bit with my sleeve and can't see anything, will check again tomorrow....

It's not my week is it???
Dosn't bad luck come in threes?

Punch him......

 

[gina2201]

I know where he lives.....people like that really shouldn't drive, he was virtually at right angles to the kerb at one point!!!!!!!

I used to be reallly protective about my MB's. I hated anyone leaning on them, parking too close etc.

 

[gina2201]

ha, I went into a chinese once and parked outside, when a (larger) girl decided to take her phone call on my bonnet!!! I was outraged, what if she dented it?? Or scratched it??? I was most upset that someone driving by may have thought it was hers.... But unluckily she had gone by the time I had got my food so I could go up to the car and say "Excuse me.....please remove yourself!"

I used to have a cavalier diesel (freebie work horse used to transport hay for the horess). I watched my neighbour shunt it out of the way to get into a space. Sill old bat. She denied everything.

Cant park......don't drive.

"Excuse me.....please remove yourself!"

You're too polite!!!

 

[gina2201]

You're too polite!!!

I'm not sure if I would have used those words exactly.....

 

[BlackC55]

It would have been easy to get her off it.

Just tell her the chinese take away were doing a 50% discount for today only. The chunky bird would have been in there like a flash.

Jeans with those little pocket studs aka 501's are just as bad. good job she could squeeze into them!.

Hopefully the car did not rise and drop scuffing the bumper..

 

[Howard]

At least you know who he is Gina, just pop round and have a word , if you have to claim , you know where to find him ...

 

[Dieselman]

That's so annoying, but hopefully won't have done any damage.

At least it was bumper to bumper contact, it's what they're for and they are pretty resilient to scuffing.

 

[gina2201]

Yeah, it didn't look like he had last night but shall double check today. I was just a bit shocked how someone could **** up parking that badly.

Could have been worse..

Now that is shocking!!

hopefully no damage, does P*** me off when people who knock your car think they can do it as a matter of course! I wouldnt/havent nudged a car parking ever, mainly too scared of causing any damage to my car.....

If I lived closer I'd offer him some lessons. Instead you'll have to give him this URL.

When driving home once - not in Edna - a mature git hit the back of me - only a gentle nudge - but hit me nonetheless. He was furious that I stopped & got out to check for damage etc as it had only been a gentle tap!! He got a suitable verbal response which included a suggestion that he took refresher driving lessons to remind himself that braking means stop before you hit what's in front!! Some people beggar belief

With my car I never stop and never park up = No parking damage and I retain my nice valve caps.

 

[BlackC55]

They must be very nice then.
