An OK walk in he day is ok.
Sometimes I'm starting very early hours, it's pitch black and pissing down.. The issue is, it's full of people that done care about cars. They drive buses all day, squeezing through tight gaps etc so the cars in car park are just other cars. They don't really have a sense of value at all to them.
People come and go all times of day so there's no way of parking next to somebody that won't move their car before you go home.

Get a new job. I couldn't work knowing some imbecile is likely going to have to move my car.

put a dash cam on both sides of the car and send the owner a bill to repair your damaged door(s) when they hit them.
if they refuse, just write the word 'twat' across the bonnet and down both sides of their car in nitromors
pretty sure that everyone will be extra careful not to go anywhere near your car again

Does seem a very strange system of parking. I wouldn't want anyone having my car keys whilst I'm out all day and having permission to move it when they want. I understand why you've got to put up with it but I wouldn't be pleased about it all.

Well they're insured to drive any car, just like I am. I'm not interested in throwing legalities at them, as in the real
World it's just going to make things hard for me at work.
At moment I can rely on 8 hour shifts for overtime and get full days money, they could easily turn that into 11 hours, or say there isn't overtime available.
I'm not after a war, I just want to buy some door guard

If you'd have taken the Ford job you would have been able to park behind me and not have to worry

Have you thought about some of these mods?
In seriousness though, our car kept getting scratched/bumped outside the missus' work. She works in a large-ish school with about 10 parking spaces, so needs to park near residential outside. The offside rear arch had been hit twice, scratches down the sides from prams (i assume, seems about the right height) then there's the residents that resent the staff parking near their house and decide to key your bootlid/passenger door on seperate occasions  If we had protectors for ours it would just be completely covered She parks it up the road now on a pub car park, all damage ended overnight. Either that or they decided there wasn't much more damage they could do

You call that a parking space? I call that a field.

Technically it is part of a field, but its also a space i park in. Reversed in today, mix things up a bit.

I think they'll help a lot. Shame they aren't plain black, but these were about £30 cheaper per side.. It's not like I'll be driving with them on.
Shit front wheels and bumper as going to garge tomorrow and car too low for ramp otherwise
