Me, sanctimoniousness? Apparently not, according to Prawn I have no morale standing.

Your post actually puts you in the league of people who turn a blind eye to the moral point of these stories in favour of having a go at someone who's simply protecting their own property and making a moral standing. you either have no moral standing about the same things, or you're one of them - either way, it's people like you that make this country the <beep> heap it's fast turning into
Here is a little test...
A guy comes on to this forum and posts the following:
"I was driving on the M3 today, traffic was kinda busy but the outside lane was empty. So I got in it and I set the cruise control to something like 75MPH, then after a while, this car comes up behind me and stays there, after five or ten minutes the car just keeps getting closer to me. We're both going close to the national speed limit or thereabouts but the car behind really wants to get past. I'm not doing anything wrong, there are no cars in front of me and I can move over at any time but there's also no chance for them to get past me on the inside, so I ignore them for another 5 minutes. Then the car is flashing lights me, I ignore it. Then finally after a bit more of this, I ignore the car some more. Then there's all clear lanes ahead so I pull into the middle lane and the car goes past. Once past, some stones are thrown up peppering my car and shattering the windscreen. I think this was completely inconsiderate behaviour on behalf of the other driver, what do you all think?
How do you think this guy be would be received on this forum?
We've all got our bugbears, the one above is very common.
For me, it's parking.
It's a very simple task, just park between the lines, if you cannot, then clearly you belong back in the kitchen making sandwiches. I don't care if you've got an Overfinch or a Smart car. Give it a go, make an effort. Just plopping a dirty big RangeRover into a twin lined space at a 45 degree angle is just plain insulting, there's no need for it and if you've got a smaller B7 then there's certainly no excuse. Also, as Prawn discovered, it doesn't stop your car getting dinged, some could argue that it would become more of a target. But by all means, do come on to a forum and blame someone for the state of the country after they mock you for hogging two spaces. Another top tip; don't forget to request that the thread is deleted but when it's not, remember to systematically delete all of your posts in the offending thread. When all of that fails, you can play the dignity and morale high-ground card, that will nullify everything. Standard.
A typical car park scrape and run is a very shitty thing to do and could be summed as; bad etiquette, discourteous and selfish.
A typical car parked across two spaces is a very shitty thing to do and could be summed as; bad etiquette, discourteous and selfish.
The above are the same kind of knob and it's knobs like them that make this country the <beep> heap it's fast turning into...
No matter where you go, there you are.
