Women eh?

[MattCupra]

If it hadn’t happened to my car this would be brilliant!

The Mrs parks the car in a hillside car park, and off she goes with the girls to do some damage to my credit card.

A few hours later, laden with shopping bags, she comes back to find she can’t get to the boot cos some bugger has driven into the back of the car. The friend she’s with happens to know who owns this other car, so the Mrs storms off in pursuit of the owner who works nearby, drags her back to the scene and starts having a go at her, explaining how she owes her for a replacement bumper .

When the Mrs has finished her rant and she can get a word in edgeways, the owner explains that she can’t have driven into the back of the Mrs as she’s been there since 8.30am, and there were no other cars near her in the car park at the time.

After some momentary confusion, the penny drops……the Mrs checks, and it turns out she didn’t put the handbrake on properly (or the car in gear like I always nag her to do when on a slope!) .

So now the shoe is on the other foot, and the bill is a not only a load of shopping, but my car and this poor unfortunate woman’s car as well........

I'm sure there's a moral to this story somewhere, something about looking and leaping or pots and kettles being black?

 

[Kris]

Doh!

 

[Phil K]

Ooops! - Did she think it was a bit odd that somone would drive into the back of her car and then just leave it parked there?

Probably something to do with engaging brain before mouth...?

Like you say, that story would have a funny side if it weren't your own car!

 

[alexj124]

would of been funny if it was someone else's.

hopefully not too much damage if it was just a small distances backwards??

 

[si-mate]

I think this has happened to someone else on here so I always leave my car in gear when parking on a slope. Trouble is when other people drive your car.

 

[tris]

O dear i bet she felt bad

 

[The MoffMeister]

Hollie, my g/f managed to systematically attack both her front and rear bumpers in her Puma last week. Firstly, reversing out of her drive.. right into a dodgy 4x4 opposite.. and the second time leaving a carpark. She managed to swipe past a low-wall and tore off the splitter and corner of the bumper.

And she wonders why I wouldn't let her touch my machines?!?

My old Leon rolled off my ex girlfriends drive one evening and into the road, luckily the road was quiet and someone knocked the door to tell me. No damage but there is no feeling of panic like I had thinking my car was damaged!

 

[UncleFester]

I don't think the Leon has a strong handbrake that's for sure, i've parked mine a few times and as i've been collecting my stuff it has started to slide forwards. Have to make sure the handbrake is fully engaged.

 

[j2vw]

women drivers are awful!!!!!! hardly any of them have a clue what they are doing always in wrong lanes cutting people up and cant reverse for s*** lol. let an ex gf drive my old car and nearly drove into a taxi in the lane next to us. learnt my lesson there no woman will ever drive my cars again lol probably too busy doing make up to put handbrake on!

 

[LiCkWiD]

lol sexism

I once came back to my car and it had rolled backwards in a car park. It had just touched a Merc 500SL but did no damage. The bloke was sitting in it waiting for me to get back having just called the police.

Our lass parked her LCR on a steep hill, engaed the handbrake and got out of the car.

5 mintues latter a knock at the door..

Is that your red car outside?

Yes why (expecting someone had hit it or something)

It isn't there any more, it is at the bottom of the hill in the side of another car.

She had to have put the handbrake on or she would not have been able to get out as the hill is that steep.

The other guy was an 4rse at first, trying to ge tth police out etc.

The damage was only slight to each car, luckly the o/s/r of the LRC had just cought the o/s/f edge of the corsa, no panel damage, just paint.

He said the bump had pushed his car towards the kerb, I pointed out the impact wasglancing etc and he is talking out of his 4rse, if he wants to be a pain, he can go through insurance but if he does we will deny all liablity.

1 car had just been serviced.
2 handbreak was engaged when the car was left

Therefore no negligence and no payout to him.

I put it own to the rear disks contracting when they cooled.

I then took him to the bodyshop I used and his car was repaired within 24 hrs.

Total cost for both repairs, about £500.

 

[Phil K]

He didn't catch you laughing at him for the simple reason that he's a Corsa driver did he?

 

[Arctic]

Not good matt, down to border coach works to get it sorted again?

thanks god women can't drive here. My gf and her sister still bash up my car even tho they don't drive - scratches from totally useless metal bits on their handbags and dangly things on their mobiles.

But the worst is swinging the door wide open when getting out of the car and bashing a nearby car/wall/lamppost.

Women can't drive in Saudi Arabia

Women can't drive in Saudi Arabia

you don't know? yeah women can't drive here it's illegal. +women can't go out in public unescorted by a man. You'll get hassled by religious police if seen out in public during prayer times - it's like a half hour curfew 5 times a day - shops close as well.

But tax-free and petrol is 8p per litre for 95-octane. 91-octane is 5p.
