Default Who else suffer with retards in the car park at work?

As per title.

Some people really do not give a flying toss about anyone elses car where I work.

Some tit has again used there car door on my car like its a door stopper for them!!!! I've now got a nice dent in the front passenger door.

And the annoying thing is I don't know who did it as I was busy all day and then when I went to my car the space was empty.

Looks like yet another dent removal day for me.

Oh yes!!!

Had my bumper cracked earlier this year.

Our work is opposite a school, and the parents use our car park to dump their cars in every morning and afternoon.
One woman was parked in my space a few weeks ago, and when i asked her not to park there again i got a mouthful of abuse from her. Charming lady.

Nowadays we just block them in if they are in our spaces, and they can wait for 30 minutes untill we're ready to move and let them out.

(sorry for the rant)

Yep and it drives me mental

A woman at my work literally cannot drive to save her life and she always has to park next to me

She's a rather large lady though and drives a fiesta,the steering wheel rests in her stomach so maybe that's why she struggles to park

the larger ladies are the worse as they need the door fully open lol.. i always park at the far end at work and the bloke who parks next to me has just had a respray so we have a mutual agreement not to kill each others doors lol

Yep,luckily my space is at the end of the car park and has some room on the end,so I can park further over away from her which gives her the room she needs to get out of her car

You should see some of the angles she parks at !

Oh yes. Someone dropped two sections of galvanised barrier onto mine today.

Luckily, it was only the Fiesta van.
Here's a simple solution for your scoob.

I'm afraid they were on the car when I got it, mate. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but they've fended off many a dent, I can tell you.

That's why i park over 2 spaces wherever i can. I'd rather be called a tosser when i'm not there to hear it, than come back and find dings in my car.

This sort of thing really does my head in, i used to have a near mint condition VR6 golf supercharged etc, i got the both the bumpers and bonnet resprayed one day, to get rid of stone chips, i went to pick it up, all fine, got home and parked it outside my front door to show my missus, we just looked out the door in time to see a neighbours friend "manoeuvre" their poxy car into my rear bumper at very slow speed and continue to throttle until my car nearly moved!, it really really annoyed me, they did apologise but did not really think anything of the incident!!! grrrr

any cctv cameras in the car park? if not request them, then u can play back and see what scumbag has commited a capital offence to your beloved car and report them to the RSPCS (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Scoobies)

i'd only had my car a month and all 4 doors had dents in them. Cost me £150 from dent tec in warrington to put right, and now i park as far as possible from others cars

i was thinking of having a go at fixing myself with dry ice, but i'm a paper pusher and useless at fixing/ repairing things so i let the professionals do it

search google or youtube for "dent repair dry ice"

Mine is usually quite safe at work but its at super market car parks where i used to get dents, i say used to as i now go in my missus car so hers gets dented but dont tell her that lol.

I find its trollys that do most of the damage as bone idle people carnt bother there **** to take them back so just leave them to role around banging into peoples cars

I watched one day a fat bloke in his old shed of a 4X4 drive into a parking space where a trolly was and just ran into it to move it which then went straight into some ones car

w@nker

Rant over

Looks like I am not the only one then to suffer such fools at the work place.

I did ask security but they stated the camera didn't pick anything up. I've email HR as I am sick to death of these idiot doing it.

I got smart today and parked in a different space. Next to a M3 and a Porsche. Result. lol

Anyone know of a good dent remover around Heathrow/Surrey area? Will get it done in the new year.

Hoooo God this is so close to my hart. I live in a block of apartments, the parking is excellent for secruity and for the past year the flat next door has been empty so great I have had two parking spaces.....Door ding free heaven.

But all good things come to an end, the flat is now occupied so that means iam back to my original space.......I`ll give it few weeks before dings start to appear. I really am thinking about selling my car due to this, seeing a ding for the first time makes me feel physically sick. All it takes is a bit of care from the other two drivers, but I have more chance winning the lottery than that happening.

Had a good one of these the other week at a service station on the M62.
I parked at the other end of the car park away from everyone and left the wife in the car.

whilst i was inside a woman parked next to me adn whilst getting out the wind gusted and blew her door into my car hitting the wheel arch. wife told me when i got back but looked like nothing much had happened other than scraping the dirt on my car.

Then the woman comes back and this time hits the car again when getting in. Me not being too happy gets out and checks the car to see that its scratched the paint this time. Her car was obviosly not cared for as it had dents and scrathes all over and she couldn't figure out why i was so angry. Anyway 20 mins of arguing later I made her give me her insurance details to hopefully teach her a lesson

hi there guys and gals just thought i would let you all into a seceret to solve all them little dents on ya pride and joys. all one needs is dry ice. yep thats right but one thing wrap your hands up warm and do not put it near water and most of all do not keep it in the same room as you this stuff is rather crazy. its great for those little dinks that havent broken the paint. i have used this stuff a few times and its brill. have a look on youtube just type in dent removal with dry ice

Summer 2007 I went shopping in Hexham and parked under a canopy used by a certain repair company (6 PM.) and was miles from anyone...

Came back to a "bullet-hole" in my drivers door, must have been a 4x4 or something large... or maybe a bullet ?
