You seem to be taking all those abuses with such great humor. We've had a couple of sorta serious traffic altercations but nothing so direct. Maybe I'll get used to it?! This place is rough!!

I got gum on my key lock once, but I wasn't parked badly. I've also had eggs thrown on my windshield, some kind of milkshake (or possibly melted ice cream) and earth mix thrown onto the side of the car, tiny little plastic balls thrown through an open window, some abuse shouted, some showing-the-finger, the occasional finger-pointing, and A LOT of staring daily. I love driving a left-hand-drive car :D Maybe it’s partly because parking spaces are smaller than in other places, particularly North America (on the other hand cars are smaller too…)

Maybe because we have so much space that no one feels the need to encroach on another? *sniff* I miss the Bay Area. <b>Local Girl</b>: Well, we were actually trying to park into that space but eventually had to give up because we couldn't get out of the car let alone back in. And, I was afraid of getting dings too so I managed to convince my husband to go find another space although parking's so difficult that we were thinking of just giving up. @#!

There is a blog in Singapore that blog about nothing but parking idiots. http://www.parkingidiots.blogspot.com/ They shame them by making public their car plate no.

Once I lost my temper in a crowded parking garage and stuck gum under the driver's side door handle of an SUV. They'd taken up 2 spaces!
