Attero Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 FFS... My girlfriend always tells me as I park up, "stop being so paranoid about people touching your cars". Last night I witnessed a group of young late teen drunk-ish kids jumping on and running over cars in the cineworld car park... I mean seriously, you have to be to be the most direspectful piece of crap to stoop to a level of damaging property to impress your mates. I shouted at them as a standard measure but got a "I'm too drunk to care" and only one apology from the guy who kindly walked round each car. :screwy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Did you call the Police or tell the Cineworld staff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I can't imagine how I would react if someone stood on my car but I am pretty sure it wouldn't end well..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creative Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I had a set too with 2 guys outside my house. They ran over the missus focus, I heard them and I was out the door... They were all set for a fight until I went back in and pulled out the lower half of the snooker cue. Seriously, what goes through these people's head!

pezzler Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Looked out of my window on a top floor flat to witness two 8-10yr olds walking up over the bonnet, over the roof and jumping off the boot to climb over the car park fence. Was absolutely fuming, but what can you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I am the same with mine, I don't leave it out on streets anywhere if possible and wont even consider it when drunk people are about as it stands out as a good target when it is cleaned up on a Friday or Saturday night I imagine. It amazes me how if you catch people doing that they wonder why you are so peed off at them but you go round to their house and return the favour and it is a totally different scenario.

KamaSupra Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I remember where I lived as a kid in a bad housing estate, one morning my parents came out to their car and it had foot prints going over the car bonnet, roof and boot. Somebody had walked completely over the top of their car, but also everyone else's cars which were parked in a line down the street too. Now I've my own house luckily it's in a nice area and stuff like that doesn't happen here, but I still park one car in the garage and one in front of it on the driveway. My Supra never gets parked anywhere, it's taken out the garage and driven randomly about. Then goes back in the garage after being used, it's never used to commute or been parked up anywhere. One reason for that is because I would be silly paranoid about her the whole time. Thankfully my girlfriend understands my paranoia and doesn't say it's stupid. I found it hard leaving my Supra parked in carparks on the Dragonball last year, but I wasn't too bad as it was parked between 2 Supras everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Supermarkets get me. The only time I park in a supermarket carpark is after 10pm, and I still park about a mile away from the entrance! I had my car resprayed last summer, and I decided I was going to start using it to drive to the gym every night - baring in mind that I train between 8.45 and 10pm and the gym carpark is baron at that time so no chances of it being hit Went to the gym one thursday night as usual, got up Friday and walked past my car on the way to my van and noticed a scratch. Some kind gent had taken it upon himself to mark my fresh £3000 paintjob by keying the back end from one brand new facelift rear light to the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I find it hard to write anything about this sort of thing without swearing as it annoys me that much, Like others I trust nobody and have only ever left it in a few places like the snooker hall I take my dad to and like others if I do have to park it somewhere I stick it a million miles from anyone else and always am wondering what little sod has it in its sights. Like most I either go round a friends house or take it for a spin and then home and it is my day to day car too Who would of thought you could care about a NA that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at moving house at the moment just so we can have a garage for the car. £100k expense for an £8K car..!! I really do have a problem when it comes to "defensive" parking. I never leave the car somewhere where it could possibly get damaged but sometimes it's really difficult to find a safe spot. All three of our cars are ding free but I have had many a worried moment where I have checked the car after someone has parked really close. I would have no hesitation burying my foot in their door if I found damage to my car. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have car OCD too H or is it other little OCD's that seam nothing in comparison to us freaking out about it being parked unattended?? £100k for a £8k car seems perfectly logical to me too, I have been looking for a house or flats and the main condition I have is off road and out of sight parking. My dad lives just down the road from me but the part he lives on you have to leave your cars parked in the lane with the others and minus there being a massive scramble for parking the idiots that mess about with cars are appalling.

I did add to my original post. I suppose everyone has things that they car about. I have a thing about condition of cars and anything that is classed as new. Trainers are a good one. I try to keep them as clean as possible for as long as possible. Once they are beyond perfect condition I then buy a new pair. I have a wardrobe full of "old" trainers that most people would wear for best..!! Cars are the thing I worry about most. Other peoples lack of consideration is what really gets on my tits and even when I park at the opposite end of the Supremarket carpark I still end up with some knob sat at the side of me. H.

I totally agree with everything you put and even what you changed in your other post too. Sometimes I trawl a carpark like a curb crawler at times looking for a preferred space although I scan for option B's to at the same time. I always find like how you mentioned trainers ect that you can keep a item as well and as perfect as possible for a long time but as soon as it deteriorates slightly they are deemed not worth bothering about and in my case they become work shoes. The main downside to that is I somewhat stop caring when I consider stuff damaged and care less and less about it overtime and you just watch it get worse rapidly which is something I don't want to happen in respects to my car.

H. im glad there are others out there too! lol, im total ocd about certain things, cloths and footwear for one, if i see a pair of trainers i like i get 2 pair, just so i can keep a pair good! ive 5 pair of keglers alone, never out of the box! all my stuff is like new, bike leathers, helmets etc etc, id say in all honesty my 2001 R1 and ktm supermoto might be the cleanest in the country!! generally when im selling a bike i dont even need to advertise, usually have a list of people looking to buy them, case in point (and this is the gods honest) i took my ktm out today for the first time in 6 months to put a bit of petrol in it, was coming out of the shop and a guy from a recovery truck was standing by it looking at it, we chatted for 5 mins and as i was leaving him he gave me his card and you gessed it 'if your ever selling that mate, give me a shout' i do love having my stuff super clean and mint but i have to say it sometimes takes the enjoyment out of ownership trying to keep them that way!! sometimes just wish i could go and enjoy them without feeling the need to have them so clean all the time :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
