The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

Worst I've seen is class as vandalism.
I was parked and waiting for my wife, parked in a row of horizontally parked cars to the road. I hear before I see it, a e46 cab 4 cylinders but sounded like only 3 were firing
Roof down with a late middle aged man driving it with huge sunglasses parked two spaces to my left. We are separated by a very clean BRG XF.
He proceeds to literally throw the door open, an almighty 'THUNK' follows as he plants it into the Jaguar. I'm in the car with the windows down and shout out 'f
k me! Go easy, have some respect for other people st'
He didn't hear me, gets out, ties jumper around his shoulders and goes into the chemist.
My wife returns to the car. I told her about it and that that's why we don't have a nice car in the city etc.
Just as we are about to leave, Bmw man returns, he unlocks it and fks the door into the jag again. Massive THUNK again. He drives off without so much as a glance at the other car.
We pull out and look at the Jaguar. Huge amount of damage actually, 3x1 inch dent and down to bare metal.
Unbelievable

Too right, I am with you on this one, when people learn to open their doors carefully I will park in the lines, totally p@£D off with having to shell out for repairs because some d&%K who couldn't give a crap about his motor or mine whack's his doors against mine and buggers off leaving me with the bill for it. 1200 quid was my last one as they did the front and rear passenger doors. I've worked hard for my stuff all my life and I take care of it so if anyone has an issue with the way I park and they are brave enough to tell me to my face then they get both barrels.
I dunno though, you run the risk of someone keying the whole of the side of it if you park like that, no? Not sure whether that'd be worse than a small dent or not, to be honest.
I'd never park across two spaces like that, and I say that as someone who has had mirrors knocked off almost every car I've had, and a fairly large dent left in my old 307cc from some anonymous samaritan.

Watched similar to that in a Tesco car part a couple of years ago, left a 6 inch crease down the side of a year old beamer, i took a picture of them driving off and left a note on the other car with my number on it, when they rang me i sent them the picture.
