Saw two classic ones right next to each other this morning, but didn't have my phone with me at the time.

A Ford Ranger and Land Rover Discovery parked on the raised paving between two different parking sections less than 3 meters apart, because parking bays clearly don't apply to them :erm:

Uh? I fail to see what the problem is. A number of malls around Johannesburg have designated parking bays for the 4x4s on those raised paving islands.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to describe.

Had some twat park next to my Hilux, in my parking bay so my door could barely open - needless to say, after what is now 14 hours at work, and 17 hours awake - I got in my door, and his passanger door now has a 2cm deep in-print of my Hilux door, enjoy *******.

Aren't you concerned about him asking you to pay?

How do you confront someone for parking badly?

I was at makro today and just couldn't get myself to confront the guy about how badly he had parked.

Tell them this: I'm taking a picture of your parking skills, and uploading it to a database that is monitored by some traffic cops. Expect a fine soon enough. Enjoy your day.

Just to see how they react.

Honestly, if someone takes a picture of me and my car and threatens me with a database monitored by traffic cops, I'd burst out laughing and tip him for looking after my car.

Yeah picture would have been better. These raised areas were not meant for parking. If they just went around the corner there were plenty open bays. They were clearly just too lazy. Kind of ironic since they were going to gym :erm:

I'll take my phone next time. They do it often :p

He can. Firstly I'll ask him if he was the guy who parked his small car across two parkings while I was already in the parking bay, and how he expected the other person to get into their car. After that I'll say I don't know what he's talking about, re: damage.

A few people tried to park next to him but since the concrete pillar is there you its too tight to open the door.

Parking bays do seem to be getting narrower over the years. I can barely fit my car in properly in most places. Got plenty of door dings because of narrow parking spots.

My complex's underground parking is so narrow that if you park perfectly in the bay, there's a few CM either side of the car. It's fscken ridiculous. :mad:

Aye, Rangers are the new Fortuners, but for short gym klappers with inferiority complexes, rather than bored housewives :D

I've become very irritated at the idiots that decide parking spaces in some centres,I drive a normal sized family sedan and yet i have to battle to get out of my car in many places and have to pay for the dings on my car doors because people needed to dent my car just to get out of theirs in these tight bays,when I visit these parking bays now I purposely park double and if the centre management bothers to question me about it I will send them the panel beaters bill for their stupid bay spacings.

Did they think everybody drives a Daihatsu.:wtf:
