Beware How You Park

Notice how the white car to the left of the picture is too far over his space, meaning the silver car has to park forwards, and also the truck on the right of the picture is on his white line.

Why didn't they get chalked?

I'm with the guy in the middle!
 
Hi,
Theres a fella local to us who drives a Dodge RAM 500 pickup, and it looks just like that, parked down at the local Tesco's on a saturday morning taking up 4 spaces, not because of a bit of defensive parking, but because it's bloody HUGE :o
Stu.
 
I would worry about anyone who carries that much chalk around. Live and let live unless he dings a door.
 
Why not use chalk to draw out wider spaces. Parking slots are too narrow in any event - just want to get as many in as possible at the cost of dings and scrapes!
 
there was a whole thing on metro where low lives were going on about how they would have loosened nuts off wheels or slashed tyres.
Interesting to see how people view other peoples property.

Where's the love in the world gone eh!

In fact A lady spotted me in my Z wedging myself across two spots and she shouted "do you not just care? You really don't do you"
My response was, no not really when people carelessly open doors into other peoples cars.

she just said Oh and walked off.

Some people think you're being a d1ck but your just looking out for your proudly owned car.

Dunno about dodge man, but that's me.

^^^^This!

People get so annoyed at others who park over two spaces, when in actual fact, it has nothing to do with them. I always do it in supermarket car parks, furthest from the entrance to the store and only when plenty of spaces (my local supermarket car park is never more then 3/4 full). I do it to protect against door dings.

Never ever do it close to the store, or when spaces are limited...that is selfish and will get retaliation.

Arrogant, selfish or whatever, I can see how people might take that view, but to damage the car...what gives them the right to do that?

And at the end of the day, if everyone parked carefully and opened their doors carefully, there would be no need to take two spaces. Its only because people do ding doors that we feel the need to do it as a form of self-defence.
 
All my dings on both my cars are evidentally from 4x4s :(. Anyway, pity teachers don't use chalk anymore these days, not sure whiteboard markers would work ( and I always have those about my person ).
I
 
If it for careless f**kers opening doer and creating dings left right and centre, we'd all park more sensibly.

Sadly, there will always be careless f**kers, which encourages safe parking
 
No matter where you park, some w***er in a piece of crap always ends up parking next to you anyway.

Can't win.

Had that exact scenario in tesco car park at the weekend. Parked a good 2 minutes walk away from the entrace in an empty area and came back to some shitty mk4 fiesta parked right next to my Z4. Why?
 
Yep Try hospital car parks the space markings are covered by you tyres on both sides. F..kin hate hospitals :headbang: :headbang:
Usually visited by older people who can't park anyway!!

Dare I mention GP surgery car parks! Codgers galore, plenty of minor crunches! Used to give me the jitters when I had my Z4! (IT engineer supporting GP surgeries)
