One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
The drunk 17/18 year old who emerged from a house party with a couple of mates to have a smoke before walking home, and proceeded to do so at the end of my driveway, on which the car was sat. Nothing wrong so far, but I did keep an eye on them just in case.
One of them then proceeded to walk up between my car and the neighbour's garden to have a wee, and it looked like he was going on my car. I waited a couple of seconds for him to "get going", then set the car alarm off. His two mates swore and legged it, which left him with an interesting decision to make...
Serves him right for trying to wee on my car.

Everything okay with you lately Blown? Stuff like that.
Wally in a silver E90 3 series saloon, 320D I think. Yesterday afternoon around 4pm the A43 was queuing Westbound into the first Towcester roundabout (lots of traffic I assume due to avoiding M1 problems cutting across to M40). This BMW decides to do a U-turn at a legal place/break in the dual carriageway. I'm in lane 1 heading East doing 65-70, new Scirocco catching me and about to pass in lane 2 at 80+. I see the BMW start to make his move and cover the brakes, then start to slow as he comes out, naturally I expected him to come into my lane/lane 1 and accelerate away. However, he didn't he swerved into lane 2 and trundled along for a bit causing the Scirocco to do an 80-10mph emergency brake. Not really the Sciroccos fault but you have to expect the unexpected.
No idea what the driver was thinking. Idiot.

I entered a supermarket car park, it’s a short road with left turns to spaces, a car is behind me, he wasn’t there when I entered the car park, anyway, I indicate left, he moves out to the right side of the road to overtake in that sharp turn of the wheel style manoeuvre, a bend is 50 yards away. I see that my left turn is a no entry so I cancel and move forward, he darts sharply behind me, I indicate left again and he overtakes foot down sharp wheel turn and continues half on the opposite side of the road to go round the bend. I think he must have needed a poo. Knob, it’s a car park, clam down.
And.
Whilst merging with the A34 traffic from Oxford on Sunday evening. I see you Mini! There’s plenty of room for me to merge and I also see you putting your foot down and taking a closer look at my bumper because I dare to merge in front of you. It’s one of those awkward junctions when you can see me before I see you, nothing to your right but you want to speed up. Had you have kept to your original speed there would have been lots of room and safe distances between us. After 23 years I’m a bit of an expert at merging. Knob, pay attention, be courteous, I was soon out of your way anyhow, calm down!

This s
t-for-brains..
I parked in the furthest corner of Tesco car park, next to no cars around me.. reverse in, perfectly between the lines, mirrors folded in, then this moron hunts me down and parks his skip-on-wheels (some Peugeot thing full of decorating crap) literally 6 inches from my car..
It was pathetically close, I didn't get an outside shot, but I could just about get my arm in the gap to shine my torch down the door and check for contact marks.
Utterly disrespectful, it was as if he'd gone out of his way to do it as well..

1. He hasn't damaged your car.
2. You reversed in so unless you are driving a left hand drive car you can still get into the car without any problem.
3. It is a car park and he can park where he wants.
4. If you really believe he did it on purpose I expect you also have problems sleeping at night.

There wasn't a single car within throwing distance of the pitch I parked in, I think the nearest one was a good ~20 pitches away.
The bays are average size, and as I say I was perfectly inside my lines, he was straddling his, if my wing mirrors were unfolded I'd be surprised if he didn't hit it.
There was no reason to park where and how he did, as I was in an entirely empty row so he could've parked one over and made it easier for himself, reducing the chances of any accidents -which to be honest he wouldn't have cared about giving the condition of his car.
I don't think I'm being paranoid, it was clearly obvious when I walked back to the car and saw it, that he'd driven to this far end of the car park and squeezed as close to me as possible, it wasn't just a 'random' act.

That's when you move your car, park it perpendicularly to his, with your rear bumper about 2mm from his drivers door, and then just sit and wait. When he comes back, say to him "We can all park like s if we really want to, can't we genius?", and then refuse to move when he moans about having to climb in through the passenger side. You can film him too, telling him if he damages your car, you'll go to his insurance, and even if he doesn't damage it, it's going on youtube, just because he's a .

Like at work, I park on the opposite side of the depot in the unused bays rather than with everyone else, because I've seen how people bump their company car doors and drag their kit bags along the sides when they squeeze through..
Some people just don't have respect for others stuff, my car's my pride and joy, it's the first I've ever bought new and not just a 'white goods' item to me..

Supermarkets would probably love to have a number of wider spaces that you can just pay £1-2 extra for, as you pay at the till for your groceries, for those people happy to pay extra for an hours safe parking.
However, if they did there would be cries about the ‘privileged few’ and people would just start using them without paying ‘out of principle’, rather than just laziness. This already happens today with disabled and P&C, after all.
Even worse would be the potential for any self obsessed mong to single out cars in those spaces for a nice bit of keying artwork.

Cyclist riding the wrong way down the street where I live, which has a long bend in the middle, lined with trees so visibility is poor. Predictably, a van comes round the bend and nearly wipes her out. She has to swerve into the gutter, nearly falling off in the process. Lesson learnt? Nah, straight back to cycling round the bend. Seems pointless wearing hi-viz and a helmet if you're going to ride like a tool as well.
Two knobs today, the car park knob who couldn't squeeze their fat arse through so folded my wingmirror in... and me for taking half a mile to notice 
Before anyone blames me, I was parked bang on exactly perfectly equidistant between the cars either side of me and the person t'other side managed to get in just fine. This car park is a little tight but everyone always manages. Also on the few times I needed to see behind my left I looked back, which I do often. My little car has excellent rearward visibility. It does not have electric folding mirrors
and I folded it out at the first safe opportunity (and now know I can reach it without taking my seatbelt off even).

Suffice to say the amount of bad parking I see has crossed over into hilarious now.
A recent fad seems to be exec cars parking crooked - allbeit within the lines, but as diagonal as possible within those lines and with their wheels on full lock, ever so strange, I saw 4-5 cars this morning all like it.
Another is LWB vans parking in the middle row of pitches, thus taking up 2 spaces, when they could just reverse into the row 5 metres over and have their long rear end hang over the bit of grass that's there...
Oh and people that throw their coffee cups on the floor. There's a dozen bins and you've been sitting in the car for the past half an hour, get out, go to the bin.
Oh, one more, I'm on a roll... People that sit in their cars having lunch or a fag or whatever, with their handsfree on volume 100+2 so everyone can hear their conversation.. In case anyone wanted to know - Tim is getting the order sent from Basingstoke on Wednesday. No, it doesn't need a purchase order. No, it doesn't.
