    Pedestrian decided to take the wing mirror off my parked car in the night.

    Pavement parked?
    Yeah but a) the parking spots are half on half off and b) every single other car on the road is parked the same - I was actually more considerately parked than most.

    (not my street, but like this:)
    Probably just some boomer found out where you lived then.

    I have to admit to barely resisting temptation to simply run over the roof of a few cars around here where they park fully on the footway, completely blocking it and forcing pedestrians into the road. There's no reason why they can't just park on the road other than presumably not wanting to inconvenience traffic and / or get their car damaged. In the one instance the car in question is around 100m from a school entrance and I see parents with pushchairs having to go into the road to get past it.

    maybe it was a heavily pregnant lady with a pram or possibly a carer struggling to get a wheelchair past?

    That really boils my p155 too!. They do it around where I live and force pedestrians into the busy main road. I sometimes wheel my mum around in a wheelchair, it's awkward because she's heavy. I've not had to do it yet, but it would be great to drag the chair along the side of the car.

    Look, I literally walk out the house with a pram - if a car is inconveniently parked, I'd know about it.

    It's just bad luck some drunk/vandal decided to hit it.

    The inevitable newspaper headlines when we finally get some decent summer weather 'Britain hotter than [insert random place that is usually very warm but is currently having a cold snap]'. Usually it is somewhere in Spain but this week Hawaii has been the chosen destination.

    The peel and seal strips (tape) the supermarkets put on their packets (pasta etc) to reseal them.
    They never work! Not once in their entire existence have they successfully sealed a packet, yet ever hopeful, I always try.

    They are terrible. Get some stainless steel pegs from a vendor of your choice.

    Also, packaging that has a supposedly peel off plastic covering that is impossible to pull off and you have to cut.

    People who make lots of unnecessary noise. Eating loudly, breathing loudly, sniffing, sighing, groaning (ooh argh) every time they move.

    Para mi there's 250+ unread posts on that thread. Is it entertaining to read or is it just shite?
