Parking when there are dogs around

Please tell me you didn't assume that, because a car park was empty when you got to it, it would remain empty? Surely no-one is that dim?

Yeah, who needs to take responsibility for their own dogs when putting them on a lead is too much bother? Why not swear at random inoffensive drivers if you want to take your bad mood out on them?

Yes, you should. It would have given the police a laugh. I can just imagine them solemnly writing down the alleged offence of "Parking near complainant's car in a car park".

How could they have hit one of you? As people have pointed out, they were almost certainly using the screen in their car to park, and obviously they did so, perfectly safely.

By the same token, why did you choose to park near the skate park and let your dogs off the lead, knowing that other drivers wanting to use the skate park were likely to want to park there?

You can dislike his choice of parking space but it’s mad to bash his car!!! He’s just parking.

Nope they only entitled person is you.
You're also a violent and abusive person who if you don't reign in your attitude and obnoxious personality is going to wind up in jail or hospital

Yes it does drive me nuts. By definition, someone who squeezes his car between mine and a trolley bay such that I can't access my car cannot be disabled requiring additional access

OP is clearly not ready to let it go just yet. Despite the lack of sleep wondering if she was out of line effing and blinding at him and umpteen people saying her aggression then and since was/ is completely unwarranted, she now think she sees a missed opportunity to have smashed his car up. That would have been a good one. Bloke parked his car next to mine so I put his windscreen through and he called the police, was he being unreasonable 🤣🤣🤣

So it's 3 feet now, not 2 feet? 🤔

Sounds like you'd have had to walk over to his car to hit it, as that wasn't close enough to hit without moving.

I note you're also now saying you were loading the dog into the car, which is another change of story.

Not that you have much any credibility, but all these changes just make you an unreliable witness.

I worded that point badly - as you say it is an offence if you don't report hitting a dog as they are classed as domestic animals and hitting one must be reported (cat owners get very cross about this because cats are only classified as semi-domesticated and you don't have to report hitting one). Same as if you hit a cow (though I think you might have more problems than reporting an accident in that case 😃).

Yeah, think you need professional help to be honest.

no one of a sound mind would act or think like you are doing.

You have grandchildren? Do you tell them to fuck off too?

you really have anger issues/alcohol issues.

i wish you well on the quest to recovery

Someone did i.e. that the only property damaged would be the children in the car that was hit - not sure how a dog hits a car and damages it without itself being hit and damaged. I thought it was you. Sorry, must have got my quotes mixed up.

I think you need to enrol on an Anger Management course OP, you are being so irrational about someone parking next to you, which they are completely entitled to do.
You were the one out of control, banging on their car and swearing, and you’ve become worse as the thread has progressed.
You’re very fortunate he didn’t report you.

Yes, dogs are easily distracted. It's your job to keep your dog safe. That means keeping her on a leash when she's in a car park.

The fact that a public park has a dog-walking area (as well as a skate park and other amenities) is irrelevant.

That’s why I said ‘apparently’. I’m reading all of OP’s posts and reading between the lines.

The best gloss that I can put on this is that you're so worried about your dog's health that you're not thinking clearly at the moment.

That's a bit illogical. You have to expect that someone might want to come into a car park. It's really not worthwhile risking your dog by having her off the leash there.

Your dog was off the lead in a carpark? Yes, of course you’re being unreasonable.

You're right OP - we don't get it ... night

Very relevent as you are responding like someone who is not of sound mind, as in been drinking…

how can you still defend your actions?

please explain why you think you were justified to tell him to fuck off infront of kids?

and to keep calling him a cunt on here? Really hope you don’t talk to your children like this, you are not a nice person after what has been heard on here.

Hitting the car is more likely to make him lose control and crash into pits a massive distraction.

Stop wasting energy on being a plonker and go and enjoy special time with your dog.

Oh dear…. I’m normally #teamdog on MN, but I’m afraid yabu here. I might have inwardly thought it was bizarre that they were parking right next to me in an empty car park when I was standing next to my car, but I wouldn’t have voiced it or hit his car.

He didn't run over a dog though, did he?
