Not sure if we previously had a topic along these lines, but I reckon I saw a contender today.

At Toy's R Us at Gepps Cross this arvo, walking out of the store with other families and some bloke was trying to park his car not far up from us all and let's rip out of the window with a mighty "Oi, thats my effing car park" to another driver, in very loud and aggressive manner.

Bad language doesn't bother me or the missus in the slightest (and Im not concerned about it around my kids as they're too young any way), but there were several kids that heard it and plenty of concerned parents.

I thought the 'tool' part was claiming a personal parking space in a public carpark. Wasn't in a 4WD was he?

Not sure to be honest mate, I only had the quickest of glances

Or maybe a Beamer?...

When reversing into a capark it is claimed once your winker is activated. If your reverse lights are on this strengthens the claim, and if you are actually in the act of reversing into it then your scent is as good as all over it. Like a licked lollypop IMO.
Still doesn't excuse the swearing, but proper carparking etiquette should be observed regardless of whether it is a 4WD, Volvo, Beamer or George Costanza.

i parked in a space once and realised as i drove in some guy was acually waiting and indicating for the park on the other side of the rd.
so i reversed out apologised and looked for another park

Fessing up to that is quality. Here is mine....Once I took my Missus to Prospect Oval on Saturday. Pity the game was on Sunday!

That's OK. I drove across town to Claremont Oval for Perth v Claremont only to realise that we had a home game after I found a park and walked to the ground to find it all closed up. FFS.

First Christmas with my new girlfriend (the now Mrs P) I drove all the way up to my sisters place at Ironbank, and after about half an hour of being there I realised I'd forgotten to pick the GF up

these are all contenders in the things that make you laugh thread

Obviously the now Mrs P is the forgiving type!

Warnie. Hands down. Every week.

You're not wrong - tool of the year/decade/century even.
Won't be long before he looses his appeal and if he doesn't change his ways very soon I suspect he will grow old a very lonely man.

I doubt it, there will always be another conquest willing to accept Warnies advances. Sure he might not have many "close friends" but he wont be lonely.

Very much so .. Every year since I've threatened to forget her again

I lost my keys a few years back after a bender weekend and went over a week without finding them so I rang the locksmith to come to my place to see if he could get a key for my car. He went to my car to have a look at the ignition and my keys were in there

Brilliant.
