You don’t drive as stated in other posts Sept 24th as an elderly senior citizen to be exact you can’t even walk without help.or are you stating from your past driving experience.

Dear member Littleboy8 thankyou for keeping a record of my health , you are so kind. If you just tried to read with more clarity and a bit slower, you would have seen in my post that l wrote, I have HAD several situations. Had, had, had, past tense my dear Littleboy8 past tense. Perhaps it's time for you to visit Spec Savers. Again you have an issue with present and past tense. Present tense is in the here and now, and past tense is that what happened before. You seem to be egar to catch people out with saying the wrong thing. They WERE the occassions when I relied on my walker, to get several MRI scans. Dear Littleboy8 for you from my garden, look more beautiful flowers . Have a beautiful week.

To be honest I`m not a good car parker, it usually takes me a few attempts to get the car in between the lines. On a number of ocassions and after getting out of my car have noticed the parking is absolutely shocking, so I will get back in and try over and over, til it`s right. I must look a sight, but seriously it realy erks me when other cars are not parked properly and yes I have found that large cars i.e suv`s often don`t park well and impinge on parking next to them.

I am actually a very accomplished driver, having driven all sorts of vehicles over the years, but one of the things I did learn is that most people have this idea that they should park as close as they can to a shopping centre entrance. Who knows? Beats me. Lacking of having to take those few extra steps I would think. A bit of a self centred attitude? Perhaps.
At my age, I don't care if I have to walk the extra. So I am prepared to park further away and you know what? The benefits are that 1/You get the extra steps in for your daily exercise, 2/There are less cars parked further away leaving plenty of spaces, and the unlikelihood of copping an unreported love tap that slightly damages your car. Self centred attitude from those shits!!!! Not like they would hang around and fess up to damaging your car.

You are less likely to find a shopping trolley either against or almost touching your motor vehicle too. .....or one corner of your vehicle where somebody has clipped your car going in or out of a parking bay. I know somebody who always parked their car away from others at shopping centres.
It lost paint on the same corner of it many times, usually right through the paintwork. The last time that I know of the scratch didn't go through to the metal so they were waiting for somebody else to scratch it bare metal before it was fixed again. The repairers knew the owners' voices and would tell them when they could take their car in to be fixed

Seen that often enough - especially when there's a series of big 4WDs in a row. One parks a bit close to the line. Next one parks on the line so driver can get out of the vehicle. Next one parks a bit over the line for the same reason and so on until there's just not enough room in the next parking space for anything but a motorcycle.
Then one of the 4WD vehicles leaves - and all those 'downstream' are considered inconsiderate drivers! Well, in fact, they are - they could have parked elsewhere and walked. Usually do them the world of good.
Bad luck if you're like someone I knew in Darwin - hospitalised with an acute disc rupture, spine fused. He was above average height, the only vehicles he could get into were 4WD (SUVs weren't around at the time). He was entitled to a disabled carpark - but we all know how often those are respected by people who are only morally handicapped!
Mind you, D usually parked and walked (with a cane and some difficulty and pain) if there wasn't room close to the shops. He was one of the 'me' generation (aka baby boomers) who learned to respect other people's rights, as well as making the best of a bad situation.

You may or may not realise that some brands of cars the older models are longer and wider than the later model ones are. e.g. Park an old model Nissan X-Trail with one about 3 years old you will see the difference in size.

I encountered a victim of stupidity in a local shopping centre. A bigger lady, relying on a walking stick, had her r4 wheel drive (which shopping centres rarely cater for) trapped by a mongrel in a much smaller car, parked at an angle. This prevented the poor lady even accessing her driver side door. The supermarket repeatedly paged the driver to no avail. Eventually I took her keys, climbed up the concrete drop (only about 3 ft) and got her car out for her. The poor woman was in tears, shaking like a leaf, with groceries in a pile at her feet. Nobody should have to be reduced to this state because of a lack of common decency. There are good people out there, it's just getting harder to find them. Yesterday, I had a young bloke offer to put my shopping in the car for me when I fumbled a parcel. A lovely surprise, even though I didn't need help.

Dear member GrannyJA, good morning. Thankyou for your post. Oh dear GrannyJA, you are a God Send. Thankyou for helping that lady with her car. Yes, I agree it is rare to find someone that will help another today out of the goodness of their heart. Sadly these days, everyone wants to be paid or says, well what do I get out of helping a stranger. Dear GrannyJA, you have been blessed with a heart of gold. May good Karma bring good health and good fortune and happiness always. Have a beautiful day. God bless,

Thank you for your lovely response. I admit that no longer living in the city helps. Rural and remote people are a lot more likely to help one another. Not doing so can have really unpleasant outcomes sometimes.
