at the gas station & apparently it was MY fault! Gassed up, went inside, paid & when returning my wife informs me the boy in the car next to us hit our car when he opened his door, so I go & ask the Indian lady if her son had done this. Her reply was that I hadnt left enough room & there wasnt enough space between the cars so it was ok for her son to do this. I couldnt get across to her that if there wasnt enough room he could at least be a bit more careful (as he was when he got back in as he realised my wife had seen him getting out) BUT I was there BEFORE her & if there wasnt enough she had caused it by parking too close to me! But unfortunately logic wasnt her strong point so I gave up but it does still amaze me the lack of respect for others property & the automatic laying of blame on anyone else rather than just own up & say "sorry about that & I'll have a word with my son" (which would have been enough for me)

I wonder what the usual scenario with this would be in India! It would probably be even if one is blatantly in the wrong ??

Fijian-Indian, same thing. But I find no matter what they are (mixed or not) they have the same attitude. Yes only a few may ruin it for them all but what can ya do.

Mid 40s bint did it to me this week in the carpark. I was waiting in my car. I saw her, she saw me. No, no smile, no oops sorry. She just turned to her mate (driver) who backed out and took of in a hurry.
I sat there for a wee while just quite simply stunned at that. Still a bit stunned actually.

That is shocking, or you get the sort that think its okay to ding your car because there is already another mark on the car. Just like the situation the fiat salesman had, its the arrogance that amazes me. No cares one IOTA about anothers property, especially when you go the trouble to park away from everyone at a carpark and they come and park next to you. Then ding your car, its a sad state to see the country go this way.
Years ago people would be oh I am sorry , not just come up with an arrogant excuse. Same goes for one that parks over your driveway oh but there is no parking. So that makes it okay shall it. You could park up the road and walk. Rant over.
I know that feeling all to well OP, even got a marked bumper from a guy touch parking. Isn't enough to justify getting professionally fixed but sure as hell bugs you.

Sorry to be a damper on your guys fun, but be just a little heads up. Trademe mods takes any threats of violence very seriously. So becareful what you say guys if you dont want a life time chat ban. Two posters above maybe you would want to contact trademe and ask for your posts to be removed before some clown reports them. Your guys call of course.
