Default Inconsiderate Parking, or Opening of Car Doors

I may be just unlucky but over the last month I've acquired a new crop of parking dings & paintwork damage.

1) Street Parked in Clacton taking my son for a day out, some other driver in a silver or white car used my rear bumper as a guide to how close they were to me, luckily the white marks polished out, but the underlying scratch remains. Nothing parked behind me on return to the car, nor was anything parked behind me when I parked, I left an ample space behind me for another car to park.


2) Took my son to Santa-Pod for the day, parked in a field so no marked bays, returned to the car to find a nice light blue mark on the passenger side door where the MPV that was parked next to me had obviously allowed somebody to use my door as a doorstop, Cars weren't even parked over close together but it was defo a light metallic blue car next to me.


3) Again with my son, parked at Stevenage Station, George said to me 'Dad let's park right over the back of the station on an end bay so nobody can bash your car' So we did, I even parked as far over in the bay as possible. On return a Red Nissan note was parked in the space next to me, my door was sporting a nice chunk of paint missing & somebody had obviously wiped off the paint as George spotted the clean patch on the door as we walked up to it. I'm almost 100% sure it the a child in the Note had done it as the height of the chip matched a clean patch on the Note's rear door.


Some people have zero respect for others, yes it may have been a child in 2 of the cases but Arrrrggggghhhhh.
