Sone people just don`t care about others ......

I totally understand where you are coming from...There are rude arrogant people with no respect for other peoples property out there..Im glad that I live in a country town too. Someone did that once to my car and I was the one that had a few choice words to say...Then proceeded to reverse so that they would move which they did quickly.

Car parks are awful places here too. Before Christmas someone scraped all down the passenger side of my car in a carpark and didnt leave any details and Shreks dad had to pay nearlt £400 to sort out where a thoughtless person had rammed his car door with a trolley just before Easter. Our cars may not be brand new, but that is no reason to disrespect other peoples property. At least you stood up for yourself!

I know what you mean. I have experienced an incident in a shopping mall before. I was just going to pay at the counter when suddenly a man came running to the counter and put his things in front of my things. I was angry but the man's body is huge and I thought the better of it. But later I regretted not saying anything to the guy. He must have done the same thing many times, because of his big body. Bully!

Hi, You are right, some people just don't care...it is all about themselves. It is very frustrating and distressing at times. I am not even sure about the reason for it, but the survival of the fittest notion comes to mind. That is the problem with urban areas, it is like putting too many rats in a cage, they begin to turn on one another. While some people can rise above this mentality, there are many that cannot and end up doing what that lady did. cheers,

You are right people do not care, That is exactly why I hate going to the shopping center, seems every time I go , I come back with anothe scratch or dent in my car, I used to park crear in the back of the lot, but somebody will still park near you when you do this. However I am sisabled, so I mus now park close near the front of theentrance. I have had people back into my bumper before and mess it up very badly.People just do not care at all.

people have no respects sometimes, that's normal for those abnormal people. i hate it, because me and my husband always met that kind usually in the mall and in the parking lot. thay did not even say, excuse me may i pass, they just hit you and passed by. my husband always yeal at them esp. if you have a baby in your hand and somebody hit you, that's really irritating.

You can say that again Hope. In this part of the world is also no difference. I think arrogance is embracing people so fast that they just dont understand what they do. You know why I thank God? Because i am not one of them and so arent my family. I also have a story to share which happened to us only about a week or so ago. We went for our famous Friday night dinner outing and we parked our car accordingly. When we came down after finishing our dinner, some one has parked a huge van just across our car, and it was simply not possible to take our car out. We waited for the fellow to come for about 10 minutes. He didnt come. So my hubby had to reverse the car in such a way so that our car do not fall into a drain. It took about 20 minutes for that exercise and by the time we came to the road, we were all sweating. My hubby was sweating even in AC! I had to be out directing him and my father was holding on the the kids again outside. Our country is a very warm country with dust and my husband was fuming! I thought, only in our country such mad people are there. But when I read your thread, i understood there are such people all over and it is like a plague. Anyway, you also thank God that you are not one of them!

Looks like someone had a bad day and you had to suffer the backlash. Never mind hope world is full of the good and the bad and the ugly but atleast you have mylot to fall back on. I think of it in these terms myself so its a good excuse to keep feeling happy all day no matter what happens

In my country, there would have been a cop and an insurance agent called, and she had better hope the cop got there quick. Smack into my car, then cuss me? Don't think so. I'd have been inclined to make her the one who broke my 8 year stretch of keeping my fists to myself. You are a kind woman, Hope.

You are so right that some people do not care about others, their property or rights for that matter. Nor do some of these people think about what they are saying and who they are saying it in front of and in this case it was her own children. I wonder what she will do and say when her own children speak to her in the same manner and tone of voice. A very similar thing happened to us when we first got our new car, and we too were in another town somewhat larger than the small one we live in. Someone scraped our car, with a shopping trolley, did a bit of damage and just left without letting us know but lucky for us there was a person who witnessed it. They followed the person to their car, left a message on our windscreen to let my partner know what had happened. They also called the police to report it too, but that is very unusual to find someone so honest. Between letting us know and contacting the police, we were able to find the person responsible. No action was taken by the police as far as we know but at least we were able to claim it on their insurance. It cost several hundred dollars to repair, because all the panels down the passenger side had been scraped. We were very happy with the person who took the trouble to make sure we knew what had happened and who was responsible. Part of the problem is that these days supermarkets have to provide parking space, but they make them as small as they can to get the maximum number of cars in. It can often be a tight squeeze, especially if one person has not parked properly. The parking spaces are just not made for trolleys to go between cars.
