.... another favourite when remonstrating with a child free motorist whose excuse for parking in a parent and child bay was because they had a shiny, new car was to tell them that if they were going to be that discourteous then I would do the same .... .

Funny enough should say that a do gooder was having a go at a van with writing on the side parked in such a place as was passing.
Luckily just in time the driver appeared as she was damaging the van and letting the tyres down. It didnt fair well for the !!!!! when driver gave her a slaming then suddenly drivers 3 year old daughter appeared with the passenger!
Aside from that we had no such places years ago we just got in with it no !!!!!ing.

So you stand there, wait until they've left and then write on the back window of their car with Chanels finest lipstick?

Uh huh.

Seems legit.

No - speak to them, generally receive a mouthful of abuse in return before they would walk off - then I would smear their windows with whatever lip gunk was in my bag, which would usually be either Chanel lipgloss, Bobbi Brown lipstick or maybe a tinted lip balm.

Alternatively, you could stick a whole packet of post it notes all over their windows!!!!

Childish, but.....:D

Yeah of course you do. Then you wake up and have your rice krispies.

Quite simply you would get killed.

Yeah indeed. This person who apparently gives her a tirade of abuse for not !!!!ing off and minding her own business supposedly then stands by and watch her vandalise their car.

Yeah, like that really happens.

You'd either get your head kicked in or reported to the police for vandalism from the CCTV footage.

Either way - she doesnt do it. Its the female equivalent of willy waving bravado on the internet.

I was going to disagree with you. Then I remembered the ancient pair who were parked in the next Blue Badge space to me yesterday when I arrived at the Supermarket. I'm 74, disabled, but have all my marbles. Some of this old chap's must have rolled out of his bag when he parked, because his wheels were at least 2 feet away from the yellow line. He had reversed in quite straight, but had not lined up with the bay lines. They came back to the car as we were getting out of ours. (which takes a while, but not as long as it took them to get into theirs) I pointed out that their car was taking up half the BB bay on the other side, but all I got was a blank look. So I explained that he had electric door mirrors like mine, and he could tilt the driver's mirror to line up with the yellow line on his side, which would park the car neatly inside the bay, without taking up anyone else's space. I wound up demonstrating this to him on his mirrors. He grunted some unintelligible comment and drove away, grinding the gears as he did so. I would say he was maybe 80 or so and I really think he should not be on the road. I always say that I will give up my licence if I think my driving has got worse. I insist on having my reflexes tested twice a year at my GP's biennial checkup and so far most of it appears to work!

There are elderly drivers and then there are those whose driving is elderly... As for those able bodied barstewards who park in a BB space, I have nothing but contempt.:mad:

We're lucky enough to have two very nice new cars last few years. To be quite frank I really don't care that much about parking dents/where we park.

All cars depreciate regardless, the main job of our cars is to move us from A to B, life is just to short to waste worrying about cosmetic blemishs on cars regardless of price.
