i hate it too but theres is no way of eliminating the problem so its pointless to even think about it. But I'd be interesting in hearing your idea.

 

Have you tried dancing at them like a mad cnut?

 

i sometimes take two parking spaces, only because i hate car parks, with people swinging doors open(car park dents) and women carrying bags that are more like suitcases (scraping the side of the car) so i park on the line half a space away from either side, hopefully savin my car from unconciderate shoppers

 

There's a huge thread about this over on ed38. I'll see if I can find it in a minute.

Very funny reading some of the stuff lads have done to get back at people scrapping their cars. One lad iirc put a screwdriver through the door of another lads car, and there's alot of writing on bonnets etc.

The whole "taking up two spaces" thing is very topical too.

I can't say I agree with taking up two spaces. I just generally park in the furthest corner of the carpark possible where there's no cars, and against a wall if possible. That way if people really want to park beside me, only one can.

EDIT:Mums and Car Doors Thread

 

I need some ideas on what to do with someone who cant park, my next door neighbour and his wife tend to abandon their bus right out front of my house and on more then one occasion they have boxed me in!

 

I'd say just genuinely have a chat with them first!

If that doesn't work then start mixing the Molotov Cocktails!

 

Well my idea was:

A sticker which will be a pain in the ass to take off, stick it on the window, it will say something like 'Penalty Poo for Shit parking' And itll have a photo of a shit something like this:

there is something like this in Poland but with knobs. Look at the video, it shows how hard it is to take it off the windscreen:

I have provisionally asked the seller if he would make English version of them and it would be possible, I am just checking now if the demand will be high. The cost will be something like 15 euro for 200 stickers but Im not 100% sure yet

So you want to deface someones property?

If i cought someone putting a sticker on my car i'd be onto the gards straight away.

 

Oh yes, Itll do some damage if you put it on the windscreen!

 

the police put a seriously adhesive sticker on your entire windscreen in south africa for parking offences, its hard as hell to get off but doesnt cause any damage.

Nah chats have been had but they don't work might start mixing some molotov's.....ah I mean I might have a chat with them again, You didn't see me right

 

I think this is the only way that could work. And in fairness, Id say the gards would start laughing if they saw a sticker like that on someones car

 

Nitromores

 

I think the sticker idea is a brilliant idea...

but again... id have to agree with Neil... if I saw someone putting a sticker on my car id have the cops on them straight away... its criminal damage no matter what way ya look at it...

 

if people but those stickers theyl just end up stickin them on peoples cars for a laugh, then its just gonna end up badly. that and i would never touch another mans car, the golden rule.!

Good point. There has to be some way to stop people from parking the way they do now

Why not, now this might be a mad idea, but, why not park somewhere else???????

They stopped doing that when people started attempting to drive off without removing the sticker

well in reality in some places like university's etc thats what you get for bad parking anyway. I really doubt that the guards would even take your call seriuosly.

But the sticker idea is not bad as its being done by students in some countrys is well for eample this one a huge one in front of a windscreen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvAOyUVJrNU...player_embedded

In university's, you are on private property, in tesco's car park you are on private property but on a public street, you get a smack in the mouth for touching my car!

There's a second video to this, where all four guys are best mates laughing and joking.

Id have someone strung up if they put a sticker on my car, just think about the scene points.

How's about invent some kind of solid metal bar that clamps onto your wheels that sticks out just enough to cover the distance to the next space, or some kind of barbed wire covered plates that fill out the space to the line beside you that you could roll onto (not the barbed wire bit obviously).

I park about 3 spaces back from the furthest car anyway so never have much issue.

Park next to someone with a well looked after older car, they won't want there car scratched or dented either. A few years ago a well known athelete parked her courtesy car right next to mine in an empty carpark, she didn't realise I was in my car, opened the rear passenger door hard in to my back quarter panel, marking it. When I shouted 'hey' she just said 'oh' and got her child and walked away, I was so pissed, it took alot of restraint not to dance a jig on her roof.
