Angry Some Darned Idiot!!!!

Car parked nicely in the local Tesco car park, when some darned IDIOT, pushing his trolley between two cars, caught my drivers door mirror and bent it back the wrong way!!!! He'd been so intent on avoiding the car next to mine (a measly Fiat something or other) that he did not see my mirror in his way!!!!

The profanity, I am afraid to say, that spouted from my lips turned the air a distinct shade of blue.....

Luckily no damage caused.

The idiot...????








































Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh for some powerfolds........ Wish list

Still, it's reassuring to know that, if required, our mirrors are capable of bending back the wrong way, right...?

That was why I was concentrating on the right hand side of the trolley!!!!!

Why am I so considerate of other people instead of adopting the Government's attitude of "I'm alright Jack" (..... until someone looks at my expense account) ???

That's one of the nicest things that has been said to me for some time..... (about 4 hours )

Another question, ... in a near empty car park, I pick, the largest area free of vehicles, to park. Yet within about 10 - 15 minutes, I come out of the shop, the area around my car (and immediately adjacent parking bays) are crammed with vehicles?

Is my vehicle so unique, in being so attractive?

maybe they like you?

But on a serious note i find the same thing happen to me, i park right in the corner of the carpark as far away from other shoppers as possible and when i come out theres another car parked about 30cm away from mine.

may have to start using 2 spaces!
