To wish people would be more considerate?

[MoonlightDancer]

Parked up in a car park last night waiting for my friend to arrive to go out for a meal. I usually go in and sit at the table a few mins before we meet. I arrived 40 mins early as traffic was unusually quiet so waited in the car for abit and started to catch up on emails.

A woman pulled up next to me on my passenger side and reversed in really quickly at an angle missing my bumper by inches then pulled out, straightened up and reversed in really quickly again slightly straighter. She went round to open the passenger side behind her and hit my car...I know she hit it because there was a loud thud...there was plenty of room as she'd parked way out of the bay.

She then proceeded to walk off, I jumped out and said excuse me you've just hit my car with your door...she said o sorry didn't mean to and proceeded to walk off...I asked her to wait a minute as I needed to check for damage...as it was dark I couldn't see that well but noticed a big dint on the door handle and the paint had scratched badly! I pointed it out then she looked at her door catch thing and there was flakes of my paint on it. I asked her for her details which she gave after a lot of reluctance and then she piped up saying o my god it's only scratch. Get over it!

I explained regardless you've damaged my car...she rolled her eyes and was just so casual saying it's only a car.
I've decided not to go through my insurance as it can be repaired through my local garage whose an approved sprayer for my make and it won't cost much but I'm fuming at the lack of her accepting responsibility. What is wrong with people? Her car was covered in all sorts...bird poo, scratches, dints etc...my car is only a year old and will be going back after it's three years. I just wish people would be more considerate and acknowledge when they are the wrong.

YANBU. What a cheeky bitch! Obviously didn't expect anyone to be inside it and chanced walking off 🙄🙄

@ginandgingers92 lol I was absolutely fuming and I could tell just by her attitude alone she will have done this plenty of times before to others.

I’ve been sat in my car before and have been driven into. They denied it.

Also had the door hit several times. The windows are slightly tinted so you can’t always see if there’s someone in it if the suns at a certain angle.

@Singlebutmarried how can they have the gaul to deny it? Just beggars belief.

I've given up trying to keep my car nice because of other people damaging it.

My car is now the one people with nice cars don't want to park near. I hasten to add I do not touch other peoples' cars.

I couldn't give a toss if my car got scratched but I wouldn't go round being careless with other people's paint work and if I damaged it I'd expect to pay for it.

I’ve had this is the past. Similar scenario. Point blank denied it, despite the chunk of paint they’d removed. We didn’t bother to repair as we knew we’d be scrapping it at some stage soon.

And similarly in Lidl car park a couple of years ago on a very windy day, when the gouge created was an inch wide. I get that in that case it wasn’t done deliberately but all the same.

But I don’t get it. Who has the brass neck to do that??

On the reverse side of the coin, About 15 months ago I was on a course in a particularly dodgy part of town. On the last day, someone reversed into the front of my car. They were mortified. They waited till I came out, handed over their insurance details and admitted liability to their insurers. I was so shocked. Nearly keeled over.

Many years ago, I was breast feeding dd in the back of the car in a supermarket car park when a woman let her trolley bash the side of our car. She realised, took a cursory glance and just walked off! I was powerless to do anything with ds latched on. We had tinted windows so she wouldn't have seen me anyway I guess! She left a big dent.

I was sat at some traffic lights in our brand new car. My, then husband was driving.

The woman behind rolled her car into us and shoved the car forward.

I got out and she just looked away. I went to her door and told her she had drive into my car. She denied it. Just said 'no I didnt'.

I got my phone out and took a picture and showed her. Her car was still touching mine and you could tell the bumper was dented. She was still sat in her car saying she hadnt hit our car.

She rolled her eyes and reversed a bit big dent in the bumper. She didnt want to give me her details I told her it was fine, I had evidence and her reg plate and I was sure my husband had whiplash (he didnt and we wouldnt have pretended he did). I was fucking raging and threatened to call the police.

She was such a twat.

Oh and once someone drove into the side of my mums car. Mum was sat in standing traffic and the woman pulled out of a petrol station.

The woman kicked off and said my mum drove into her. The police were called and pointed out there was cctv and it was very rare for stationary cars to just start moving sideways into the path of other vehicles.

2 weeks later her son was in the phone claiming that the police had called and mum had, in fact, driven into his mum.

Dad reassured him that if that was the case they would of course sort it out. Then pointed out he was a police officer in the same area the accident happened in and he would ensure he got to see the report and the cctv.

Funnily enough, the woman then admitted liability.

People can be total cunts.

I was sitting in a car park, car in a proper space, parked straight and central, no issues.

A woman pulls up in the space beside me, parks very crookedly. The front of her car is far from the front of mine but as she’s diagonal, the back of her car is very close to mine. I think, fine whatever, doesn’t impact me. Only it does because then a passenger tries to get out of the back of her car, hits my car, bangs my car repeatedly with her walking stick and then uses my door handles to haul herself up. I see that she is an older lady and think, oh well, whoever was driving parked really badly and the older lady has a stick and isn’t doing so well. So despite them parking badly and bashing my car, I say nothing because I don’t want to upset a struggling older person and be a cunt. Then the woman with the stick comes up to my drivers window and screams at me “you should learn to park”. My car was straight and central and I was there already when they drove up, parked ridiculously crookedly for no reason and then battered my car. I was quite fed up, nasty cow. I said nothing though.

Another time I’d parked. Again in a proper space, straight etc. Driver pulls up beside me, too close to open his door easily. So he doesn’t even try. He just rams open the door straight into my car. He looked angry and aggressive. Again I said nothing.

Sometimes I don’t want anything to do with society or to ever go out. People can be so ridiculously nasty for no reason.

One of my ex work colleagues reversed into my car and didn't bother to claim responsibility. I was furious, I never felt like I could trust any of them after that.

I'm just at all these incredibly rude arrogant people that do this. Just discovered that we have a scratch dent cover (didn't know we had it sales person ticked the box then hid it in the cost of the car ) from the dealer on our car so going to give them a call...there's a small excess but cheaper than the local garage.
