Do people really have untidy boots? #Bootshame

I've just been on Facebook and saw the Unipart Car Care Centres #Bootshame contest. Do people really have boots like this?

Or do people just create a mess. I have 4 kids and my boot isn't half as messy as some of these lol

  • Cant see any photos?

    I am guessing yes probably. Mine isnt as all the rubbish is put under the floor where you'd have thought the spare wheel is but isnt. A friends car was shocking as he had an estate with the back seats always down and just mountains of rubbish there - much of it actually rubbish as he used to throw his empty drinks cans/ food wrappers/ fag packets etc back there and as far as I can tell, never emptied it

    Do people always have to post links to facebook and assume that everyone else is definitely a member and will be able to see it? #NotOnFacebook and #ScreenCaptureAndUpload-PostImgage.org

    As for the boot, yes ours is a mess. One car is full of car parts, the other has a few tools in and the other has the missus's work stuff in it.

    What business is it of yours anyway? #Nosey :rotfl:

    When the man at the local garden center put bags of compost in my car he said "ah, that's a working boot!"

    Not just boots. One of the drivers who used to a lot of nights out used to treat the interior of his car like a skip.

    As it was parked in an empty open carpark most of the time he said would you want to break into that never mind steal it.

    Months worth of old newspapers and empty fag packets. Inches of ash over everything.

    People actually tidy their car boots?

    Takes all sorts. I suppose

    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
