My wife always complains that when we park somewhere I always park "as far away from the shop as possible".

My girlfriend says the same to me!

Lazy women, lol.

Install a very sensitive alarm that bleeps or text messages you then rush out and give em what for at least if you don't catch them they had a loud sound and flashing lights to annoy them.

Sometimes if you park at the far end of the car park, loads of spaces, you'll find someone manages to park next to you or leave their trolley there.

Oh and to protect from stone chips you can buy a "bra" for your car, lol.

One of my friends laughs at me because whenever I go to the cinema/supermarket I will only park in certain places where it is less likely that my door will be dinged. It is Ok for her she drives a sh1theap. I care about my car so I'm careful where I leave it.

I always park accross 2 spaces especially in supermarkets. Best way to avoid dents and scratches.

I do that as well but only in big car parks when it's not busy - if it's so busy everyone is struggling to find a space then it's bang out of order imo.

Got a good space in the station car park I use every day - as far away as anyone will be bothered to walk AND it's not next to any other bays (there's 3 parallel bays - so you'd need to actually smack my rear bumper with your front end to actually do any damage :eek:)

I know what you mean, I regularly come back to the car to find another car door dent in the side of mine. Thankfully I'm not too bothered about it because the car is built like a tank but it is anoying - why can't people take more care with others property - or leave a note/wait if they do damage.

Someone damaged my son's car and left a note. It said 'sorry' (and nothing else). That's worse because it was then obvious they knew they'd damaged his car but it was like they'd stuck their fingers up to him by not leaving details.

If the car park is busy and I can't find a space I just park in front of someone like you with no qualms whatsoever.
