I get so annoyed when they dump the trolleys in the parking bay and they are just yards from the trolley bays! Why on earth can't they walk those few extra feet?

Our local M&S has trolleys which you have to pay £1 for - but do you think you can get the coin out when you go to return them. Oh No - and I cannot ruin my nails (Cath!!).
Someone is making a fortune out of the likes of me, as I am always in a rush to get home!

I only leave trolleys in the parking bays when the trolley bays are full - I refuse to walk to the front of the shop. I know I'm lazy, but I'm not encouraging them to leave the trolley bays full!
Years ago we woke up to find a Tesco trolley in our back garden that someone had very kindly thrown over our 6ft wall! We don't even live that close to the shop. Hubby had to put in the boot & take it back -We were not too impressed with that!
I wonder what excuses some of the do gooders will have for people that deliberately damage others vehicles and property.
My car, as well as half a dozen others was keyed a couple of weeks ago, the car is an old one so not too concerned about respaying it but another one done was a nice black Jag.
A few years ago the same was done to a few cars in the street including my brand new Suzuki XL7.
Also in a local supermarket a couple of years before that my 3 week old car was hit by some red vehicle in a hit and run, while we were in shopping, requiring a new bumper fitted and sprayed, the police contacted the supermarket to find their CCTV cameras were installed but never worked.

One of the cars by me that was keyed is a Jag. We think it is a vendetta against one of the families in the street, and the others were done just to make it seem a random attack.

2 years ago - where we lived was only on street parking, you know those with cars down both sides & very narrow.
But we always always had people work transit vans n trucks parked on either side & at each end of the street, every night, every weekend.
Someone smashed into the corner of our car pulling out of a parking space n never owned up to it. They put a dent the size of a saucer n scrapped all the paint work n smashed the rear corner light.
It was one of the work vans pulling out - whom was also a neighbour, just never found out exactly which one.
Me n hubby ware devastated & really angry. We managed to fix the light but could never afford to sort the dent or the paint work out.
And now when we drive it n people see it - they presume you have done it & are a bad driver, When it was never our fault!
Think me n my dad are going to try n get the dent out ourselves n touch it up with car paint. We've been doing work on my car ourselves for rust damage lately, n Im on a mission to get it sorted as I look at our bump on the car n it still gets me angry.
Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X

Where I used to live, I had really awful neighbours. One morning I woke up to find one of them had been sick all over my garden gate and path outside my house. It took my ages to clean and was utterly disgusting. They also used to thrown there cigarette butts into my garden.
Had another one today, someone had ripped the wing mirror off one of my teams car in the carpark, but nothing we can do, park at your own risk, but saying that is never enough, gutted for them as i tried to relate having my own issues yesterday, but all i can do is review the cctv tomorrow when i get the passwords but saying that might not even be on camera!!
We are fortunate in that we have brilliant neighbours at the moment.
However, one of the houses has just been sold to a lone female cash buyer about whom we know nothing. I think we are awaiting the move with some trepidation.
