Parking in service stations

[groucho]

Yesterday I was sat in my car at Winchester services. People don't seem to notice me as windows are dark. Within ten minutes of each other people were banging my car.
Fist bloke opens door and, bang, smashes against the mirror, so I had to have words with him. Next, some biddy and her husband were in a car to my left, she opens back door and, clunk, hits my back door. I banged on the window shouting and lo and behold she does it again. I lost my temper then, got out and gave them a right ticking off.

What's the matter with people?

Most people don't give two squirts of piss about their own cars, it probably doesn't enter their minds that other people may be bothered about theirs.

I agree, dogging has gone right downhill.

I had some lazy cow do this to my 900 18 months or so ago; tore her off a strip.

Not had it happen in the 9000 but would cheerfully not say a word but open my door hard repeatedly into their car a few times. See which comes off worse

I always used to walk away quickly after parking, especially on ferries. When washing the cars, I'd defocus my vision to avoid seeing damage.

What do you mean by this? Are the parking spaces particularly tight on Ferrys, or do numpties not fully engage the handbrake so that cars roll around a bit during rough seas?

I'm going on a Ferry for the first time next month... with my P&J!

Parkings tight on ferries, and often there are families with kids, none of which give a flying fk about other peoples cars. Also, you all get out at about the same time, so you know if they smack your doors..
