Why Do People Do It?

You drive into a public carpark with plenty of spaces, and as you try to get out somebody parks right next to you! They are always in a hurry so never let you get out first!

 

Sounds like the weekly shop was fun again DAG :D

 

Spot on Pal, but the carpark was almost empty today!
:D :D

 

My nephew has a theory that if you park next to somebody in an almost empty carpark, it reduces your chances of having your car broken into as there are more to choose from! Anybody else share this view? :eek:

 

No it just increases your chances of getting your door dinged. And it gives the car thief somewhere to crouch between as they break into yours or the car you just parked next to. My god its annoying, cars don't get lonely!

:D :D :D

 

I know one thing, most carpark spaces arn't wide enough for todays cars, if you park up and a 4 wd parks next to you, you've had it.

 

Dag its just typical of folks, Just look what happened to me in a car park, ive never been back to that car-park on my own, wanted to go to wilkinsons on wednsday so instead of driving 10 mins to that one where i was hit, I drove 30 minutes to another one, after that experience dont think i will go back to that car-park, never know whats going to happen next. :(

 

Why do people have to drive shuch big monsters?

Most of them can't drive them anyway, my audi pulls trailer and horse and I see complete morons with great 4X4's totaly incapable of ............

someone shut me up!

 

Funny ain't it, but people nearly always will park next to another car in an otherwise empty car park. I do too, but I can't give any reason. Herding instinct?
Don't get me going on urban 4 WD's, Waco. My blood pressure won't stand it.

Perhaps we should have a Room 101 slot here for all of our pet hates. Perhaps not though...

 

No Waco, just let it rip, I started this thread so that people can get it out of their system! :D :D

 

What really gets me, is that when you're going back to your car, you can guarantee that the only other person who's doing the same thing wil be going to the one next to you, and they'll completely block you from getting into yours....... Surely it doesn't just happen to me? :rolleyes:

 

Here is another one....why are those reversing lights put on our vehicles?
I thought they were to warn others to keep clear!

Does it just happen to me, all clear behind, into reverse and the moment you start moving they all appear from nowhere at great speed!

 

Yes! And if you have a nice quiet bit of road to yourself, and are about to do a manoeuvre, like turning round - suddenly cars appear from nowhere - just like magic!

 

What makes me angry is people who drive down one track lanes and can't or won't reverse. Was confronted by a tractor and trailer yesterday, was happily reversing round blind bends for him when a guy in a transit came right up my boot and couldn't/wouldn't go back. So I'm a tractor/transit sandwich. If you can't reverse STAY ON THE MAIN ROADS.
