So when filling up the tank this evening (a regular occurrence) pulled up at the pump - BINI parked half way between the two, leaving the space I needed a little tight but not OTT so.

When filling woman (typical Essex/council scum hybrid) comes back and tts her door into the side of my near pristine 540i....

Not happy, walk round and open up her door and ask her what's she's playing at, to have some consideration and respect. She's not too happy (and neither am I with the new scuff!), a forced false apology later and 'its only a 52 plate' comments etc and I slam the door and continue filling...needless to say she still isn't too happy and is now out of the car and in my face, go in and pay (with photos etc being taken of the car reg, me and requests for CCTV/names for police etc) obviously nothing was given and insults are now being thrown my way, tell her in no uncertain terms that she is chav scum and to foxtrot oscar to her estate...

Needless to say I'm still rather pissed off at the gall of some people to think its ok to just disrespect the property of others! I decided at the time it wasn't worth claiming on her policy for a £30 SMART repair but just pissed off and venting at the attitude of others!

I hear you mate, Sadly, one man's gold is another man's (or woman's) silver. She is obviously too self indulgent to give a monkey's about your pride and joy! Think you was in a no win situation; no matter what you said or did nothing would've changed the outcome, she still wouldn't have given a flying fk. Disrespectful little hoe!

I always get moaned at by passengers when I park the furthest away from anywhere using two spaces but they don't realise this is the exact reason why!

And yes, I would pay for two spaces if in a pay and display, only fair.

Indeed! Would be wonderful to own an early Merc SLR on its original, age-related plate for this reason.

"It's only a 53 plate! What're you worrying about?"
"Excuse me, but it's worth more than your house, your insurer's details please!"

It doesn't matter that 'it's only a 52 plate' - she has damaged someone else's property. Fact. What a bh!

Was this a local garage Kiethton? You're only up the road from me.

Sadly, the whole country has gone this way
I used to think it was just the south, but
I'm passing these cars you'll have to get out of the way
I'm parking here - so what if it blocks your drive
I'm not waiting in the queue - goes straight to ther bank counter
are just 3 from the last couple of days
I have just replaced the family car, 6 days ago, from an old Volvo to a newer 55 plate X Type Jaguar - looks absolutely immaculate, and I'm already regretting it.

The "I'm alright Jack" attitude is very commonplace in society of late. frown

I suspect at its heart is the easy availability of credit and finance. As such 'nice things' are easily available with no/little effort. Consequently, there is no sense of earning/worth in such possessions.

Especially since half of them don't pay it back...

I feel your pain with the car door and you were sorely provoked but no, people just have no respect anymore. It goes both ways, no?

This was only said when walking back after paying, after being constantly screamed at for having the audacity to pull her up on it and being insulted on my 'powerfully built' appearance.

I had this in a B&Q carpark in Aberdeen, luckily it was my R reg Vectra POS that I was using at the time. I was loading the boot up and some twunt in a people carrier blips the doors as his darling daughter runs up, throws the door open onto my car and gets in. Leaving him to shut he door behind her.

I did speak to him, not aggressively as I'm a 64kg short arse nor am I a Company Director.... He did say he'd pay for any damage, fair enough, but I pointed out his daughter needed to learn respect for other peoples property. His retort was "she doesn't have respect for anything" Well that's his fking fault for being too soft with her isn't it?

After that I just said he was lucky it was my car and not some nutters pride and joy that got ttted. I'm sure India or what the little precious darlings name was is still doing her daddy proud.....

How do you know she is from a council estate ? Does being from a council estate make her worse than someone from a "posh" estate ?
