Wouldn’t do it, and would be annoyed if someone did it to my car. It’s a simple case of respect. Clearly there’s quite a few on here who lack it

Respect is earned. You don’t earn it by owning a car, no matter what the television tells you.

Are you confusing “I don’t mind if someone’s sitting on my car” with “I’m happy to sit on yours”?

No, you earn it by being a fellow human being.

This is hilarious , what a bunch of emotional saps.

Someone stood on a Elise once and his mates took pics. He then put it on his facebook.

It ended up on pistonheads forum and escalated badly for the bloke. From memory someone sent screenshots to his boss etc.

If you sit on my car….

You’re gonna have a dirty arse.

People may need to earn respect, my property doesn’t. If it’s not yours you don’t touch it.

You clearly can’t read either. I just said I wouldn’t do it

Respect other people and their possessions. It’s bloody important to treat people with dignity and decency.

This. Not enough of it around in Britain.

It’s bloody important to treat people with dignity and decency.

I’m struggling to see how kicking someone in the face is treating them with respect and dignity.

Depends what you mean by “sitting” – I quite often lean/sit against the wing of a car if I stop to chat to someone in the street; I’ve never considered sitting squarely in the centre of the bonnet though! I just do it out of habit I suppose, bit like leaning against a wall/lamp post/sign post etc.

Threads involving cars are always funny, I can’t work out who is trolling and who isn’t.

Anyway, you shouldn’t sit on other peoples things without asking. Pretty simple I’d have thought?

Does this only apply to the more exotic end of the market?

I run a shitbox Focus and nobody feels the need to sit on it or have their picture taken with it.

Are you old, infirm, unstable on your feet? I’m curious why you couldn’t just stand ?

There’s a perfectly good, sturdy stone wall next to it if anyone wants to sit down, and no, it wasn’t parked across the pavement

Because he’s ‘The Dude’… man… and he was taking five to toke a doob.

You on the other hand, are C. Montgomery Burns; the rod up your ass has got a rod up its ass.

😉

But dude, somebody like totally owns that wall. Respect what’s not yours dude!

I’m loving that so many car owners are asking for respect when that’s the one thing that’s conspicuously absent on the roads. 😕

Pfft. I once went to my van in the morning to go to work, to find a complete picnic table & chairs on the roof.

’twas funny to be fair.

(Belgrave Road, Torquay, 2003 if anyone knows the perps)

And I’d take the rod out of my ass to beat you with, layabout

😉

Haha, quality! No wonder people hate cyclists!

Hmm weird thread this …….

So it’s fine to sit on others peoples stuff nowadays then 🙂

So does this apply to your bikes as well then …happy to come out bogs and see someone sat on yer full susser…

I was always brought up to respect other people and their things….. If it’s not yours don’t touch – simples.

I was casually eating a vegetarian wrap from McDonald’s when I realised some fat kit was sitting on my bonnet, so I hard-floored the throttle, he flew off somewhere, but I didn’t have time to stop before running into some poor bastard on a Specialised Hard Rock.

I think he posts here as gofasterstripes. He came off the bike, and fell in between the wing of my car and McDonald’s wall, his head got pushed up against the brickwork.

I LOLd.

Someone sitting on them with feet on the ground, or putting keys down isn’t likely to cause harm, so get off your high horse.
Or keep it in the garage if you’re so precious.

That’s got to be you fishing for responses! You’re implying people shouldn’t respect others property?!?!?!?!

So you’d be happy with someone just sitting on and potentially damaging your bike?

If it’s not yours don’t touch – simples.

Does this apply to everything, or just cars? Once I leave the house I don’t own many of the things around me.

Well I wouldn’t sit on your model aeroplane. But we kind of shove our cars into the shared environment. So they’re a bit like rubbish, shit trees.

I don’t cause any damage if I lean on a parked car; can’t see the issue. Just like I won’t cause damage to a wall, or a kerb stone if I decide to sit on it.

I think there’s definitely a few that’re too prissy about their cars; they are just cars afterall. We’ll be getting alot of the prissy ones up here in the Lakes come school holidays; complete bunch of minges who refuse to drive within two foot of the hedgerow/dyke incase they scratch their cars. Turns out they don’t know how to reverse either! 😆

i honestly can’t believe people are justifying people sitting on other peoples property!

Do you have people just come and sit in your houses?

I look after my own property, i don’t want someone i don’t know sitting on it!

This thread is bizarre!

David – really? Why is it not ok for people to care about their cars? Just because you don’t doesn’t mean you shouldn’t respect others!

NSFW… 😆

Can I just check something, most people posting here are totally sauced-up on old spice, surely?!

Do you have people just come and sit in your houses?

Yes.

😀

My personal favourites are the 4×4 drivers who refuse to mount a kerb or put a wheel on the verge ( I appreciate it might be someone else’s verge). I thought Top Gear had demonstrated that you can drive across Africa in a shagged out Peugeot rendering the Cheslea tractor redundant.

hmmmm i’m totally blown away by this thread!

I’m off out to lean on a few cars and see the response i get!

How worked up do you folks get when kids kick a ball into your gardens?

Let me know if you’re coming round my way. I’ll leave you a can of pop under the wheel-arch. It’s still very warm out there!

I believe people kick the shit out of them. In flip flops.

😀 . Tbh I was basing that more on my experience as a pedestrian and driver. 😉

Did somebody say flip flops? Sounds dangerous.

Maybe the people who are really angry about it misread the thread title as “Someone shitting in your car”?

Also – yeah thanks covert. Glad I sued your ass.

Yes. [/quote]

Can I come along too?
What do you have in your fridge?
Can I cook some fish & chips while there?
What’s the larger?
You do the washing up while I eat and watch telly …

😆
