People Leaning on Cars

GK351 · 24-03-2007, 12:30 PM

Took my pride out of the shed last night for a drive and stopped for a bite
anyway i came back to my car to see 2 men leaning on the left front
i say, mate does my car look like a friggen park bench?
they look at my car, apoligise and move on.

Dont people know any better?
Some people may not mind this but have respect for other peoples
property.

Especially cars that rarely see the road.

theres a lot of people out there with no respect for others property these days, its sad to see. i blame the goody goodies who say disaplining your child ruins there mental and emotional state of mind.....i must say that get a cane on the butt for misbehaving didnt do me any harm, and i have a lot of respect for other people, even if they dont deseve it.

yeah that is annoying but what really gets my goat when the doors open and some comes up and leans on ya door , i start to get rude when that happens.

I remember my old man saw some fella sitting on the bonnet to his rs2000 whilst having a chat to his mates. So he just hit the alarm panic button and set the alarm off on the guys. Think they needed a change of pants after that one

xe351 · 24-03-2007, 01:50 PM

yeah its annoying, i think its non-car people mainly, like camry drivers lol

Ridin-High · 24-03-2007, 01:56 PM

lol i drive a camry :( but i'd never do that to someone.... i know how much it would **** me off if i had a nice street machine and some ****** all over it, like its his *****

People who lean on cars **** me off... but what is worse is when they put whatever they are holding down on the bonnet of your car, whilst they fumble around to open their car door.

My dad had one bloke put a slab of VB on the bonnet of his Landau... it slipped off leaving some nasty scratches in the paint... Dad picked up the slab, and threw it into the middle of the car park... Whilst the guy chased after it, dad grabbed this guy's car keys that he had left in his ignition, and threw them in the opposite direction...

I had someone come into my office at work and tell me that the trolley guys were upstairs, sitting on their tractor, with their feet on the bonnet of my (old) car.

I've never run up those 66 stairs so fast.

Moved the car to a more out of the way spot.

**Falcon Coupe** · 24-03-2007, 02:26 PM

I had an old Bloke lean on my GT door, i snapped at him and he nearly had a heart attack......poor old bugger.
One of my pet hates.

I hate it, all my friends, family and work mates know not to lean on my cars - particularly as they are almost always black.

I was on a site a few years ago when I came back to the pursuit and found the site foreman (it was a huge site) and the architect leaning on the ute. I yelled at them from about 50m away to "get off me ute" and they both gave a little smile and stayed there. I kept storming up and told them to get off in a very firm (read - rude) fashion and they both jumped. The architect apologised and the foreman spouted off. I told him what I thought about his big **** covered in concrete dust being on my black ute and told him to pull his head in. Crowd of about 5 other bloke started pulling the **** out of him and he skulked away.

Damn I hate it.

My mums cat got onto the bonnet of my car and made itself all comfy, till i hit that panic button. Have never seen a cat jump so high and run so far :hihi:

cupic · 24-03-2007, 03:55 PM

AR%EHOLES have no shame as they dont give any care to anyone property

pertuan · 24-03-2007, 04:01 PM

Yeah.. people lack alot of respect nowdays. Heck, I don't even lean on my own car!!

normxb · 24-03-2007, 04:04 PM

In another thread a while ago , I mentioned about a "Lady" ? who'd put carton on the front guard of my Cortina XLE , her excuse was "her car was only 3 months old " (don't know what that had to do with it) so I very politely grabbed the carton & tossed it on her car and informed her that My Car was only 2 weeks old .

Since then , my cousins son walked up and found 2 guy's sitting/leaning on his near new car (Commodore , but doesn't matter , he saved hard for it doing heaps of overtime) , He asked them to get off his car "Please" , he's a polite young kid . Well , both of them turned on him and put him in Hospital for 4 day's suffering concussion and he had to have Brain Scans because of his head injuries .

What's the world coming tooooo !!!

I have lost count of the number of supposed car-lovers whom I have seen leaning on other peoples' pride and joy at car events. It also shits me off when tossers let rip at a car event and spray stones/gravel/rubber. Shows they are in it for their egos, not the love of the car.

chich · 24-03-2007, 04:29 PM

Ah yes... car leaners. I came out of Ford spare parts once and found a guy leaning on the rear quarter of my car while the dealer was showing him another car. Lets just say he was very apologetic when i was finished with him.

In another instance i came back to find two druggies (guy & girl) sitting on the boot of our daily with their feet on the bumper. I just approached them and looked at them in the eyes. The chick jumps of and snaps at me... "we didn't damage it your ********* d**khead". Right..

XRchic · 24-03-2007, 04:30 PM

Like the bloke who collects trolleys at the supermarket, and who had a big line of them, was going to fast around a corner at the end of one of the lanes in the car park and they scraped right along the back end of a stationwagon - looked around to see if anyone saw him and calmly pushed his trolleys away... I went off my nut at him. He didnt care. Neither did the chic who owned the car who had seen it from about 50 m away.

f6 typhoon · 24-03-2007, 04:46 PM

i had a couple of d##k heads at harrys last night right near my car one lean on my f6 for about 10 seconds cause i pressed the lock button a couple of time and beep at them then they took off never saw them return bloody idiots should of set off the alarm instead

Or push bike riders who have their feet strapped into the pedals, when they have to stop at traffic lights they lean on your car to stay upright.

Auslandau · 24-03-2007, 06:08 PM

I do get paranoid about this, especially with people and belt buckets or jeans with rivets BUT at the same time, chatting to someone I have found myself inadvertantly leaning on a car, mine or someone elses. Usually relising what i am doing and moving and appologising! Sometimes its just a habit when in a discussion and not paying attention.

Leaning on a door (specially a coupe with window down) or on the front quater when looking at the engine is the worst that someone can do!

I can't stand people who do this. I had a group of maories sitting on my old ed in a maccas car park (about 5 leaning and sitting), so i decided to press the autostart button

The 1st beep didnt do much, they were thinking... wtf?? Then the car started and i've never seen anyone jump that far in my life

even worse when a motor bike hits u when they go up the middle of lanes in traffic, and they just keep going, unbelievable!

Melz · 24-03-2007, 07:11 PM

My Number 1 pet hate... can't stand it. I remember having my XB on display last easter in Bendigo, some old guy was sitting on my front guard. I did the whole 'excuse me but this is my car can you get off it' and got 'oh its only a crappy old falcon'... but its MY CRAPPY OLD FALCON!!! Damn it annoys me. I find my utes have been the worst for attracting 'leaners'. But I'm not perfect either, i've subconciously lent on my utes... and then tell myself off!

big_pete · 24-03-2007, 07:11 PM

its worse when you see people at car shows touching and scraping along the side of a car.
even if its not yours you know the owner would be livid if they saw it happen

makes me cringe.

Just after I got my EF, I went with a group of Mates to Jamberoo. It was parked with a whole lot of other P Platers, however it was one of the newer cars in the Lot, with a newish 323 in there as well.

After a whole day in the Park, we all came out together, to see a toddler walking on the bonnet (and breaking the $500 stone guard). I hit the Doors and Trunk buttons at the same time, and the alarm went off, and the toddler fell off the car, but I got abused by the parents?!? It's amazing what a group of 90+ KG 19-20 year olds will do to make a defensive parent back down.

The Car got its first injury about a month later, so I was glad that I could spend the money that was to go to repairing the dents on the excess (because the cabbie refused to pay, but that's another story...).
