For me it's the usual shopping centres, but i find morrisons and asda the worst, for the old folk with no awareness or people carriers with kids, and parents that don't give a monkeys.

Anyone else?

I think yo sort of have to take it with the territory or go online shopping

How much is it to have few door dents pushed out now ( minor ones ) ?




*I make it point of parking away from store - since iv still got use of my legs

I gave up bothering with that! Every time I parked at the other end of the car park, I'd come back to an old banger parked up against my car with no other cars around!

Most car parks are so flipping tight! Can't get out the car once you've parked!

I have a friend who runs a car park consultancy

he advises property companies, pension funds, parking companies etc on the value of their car parking assets (for buying & selling) and how to maximise their revenue

so obviously the more cars you can get into a given space - the higher the revenue

subject to variables like land value / elasticity of demand etc

he makes a pretty good living out of it

It's really weird isn't it .. it's like overtaking .. if they see you coming, they speed up ..

I parked in a big beach car park (Godrevy) in our new VW camper; there were three other cars parked in it.
On my return an old Focus was parked no more than a foot from my door; I swear some people do it to wind you up.

My biggest pet hate when driving my lorry everyday!!!

They seem to doddle in the slow lane doing 40mph, I start gaining on them doing my max speed off 55mph, I indicate to overtake get in the middle lane, get level with the side of them, they see there getting overtaken by a lorry and they discover there accelerator and pull away leaving me in the middle lane.

I always thought the worst place to park is anywhere where you have to pay for the privilege.

Out of the three large towns near me, two have council run pay and display, the other town has free car parks. It doesn't take a genius to work out which towns have the most closed down shops?

So many people (and I hate to say it) but it's mostly women in my experience, don't like being overtaken.

That and arseholes in big 4x4's who indicate and pull out, **** the rest of us.

I do a lot of miles and see this a lot, get annoyed for the lorry drivers. It's bad enough in my van, you get some momentum up to overtake and they speed up, then you either have to commit to more speed and it takes longer to get past (this is normally where some other twit will rock up two feet from your bumper and swing out to the right looking, then back left like they are somehow going to squeeze past.. Yes I've seen you but some other div has created this whole problem). Or you drop back in behind and then the idiot that sped up slows back down again, then you've got the whole joy of going through it all again.

I have experienced it first hand too, taking lorries for MOT. Ones that annoy me are the idiots doing 53mph in the slow lane in their cars, must be infuriating for lorry drivers when people have the capability to not cause disruption by doing even at least 60mph on a motorway in a car! The main demographic for this seems to be middle age'd men on their own in a perfectly capable car, strangely enough. You do get the real old couple with the bloke driving that actually looks like he died before joining the motorway, but you can almost forgive them.
