Strangers leaning/touching/making tambay on your car....

[sm2by]

I just want to vent this constant annoyance happening in almost every public place I park.
The scenario is you park your car its all nice and clean already waxed and detailed after forking over 1,000+ to the Auto Detailing Shop to make it shiny and beautiful.
Then you park at the mall, at the convenience store, at the hospital or at your kid's school carefully maneuvering and parking it properly in a parking slot.
You leave and when you comeback, some morons are making tambay (leaning against) on your car, street kids making it a marker for playing TAG or even some student placing their backpacks on the trunk just to get their cellphone...
It really gripes me because it leaves oily hand prints, dirt and even light swirl marks / scratches on my paint.

How can you prevent this from happening, besides having to park really far away from all the people?...

[_Qwerty_]

you cant prevent this.. specially in public free parking.. or street parking.. you just have to live with it..

happened to my friend's car.. pag balik nya may drawing nang kung ano ano yung sasakyan.. pinaglaruan nang mga bata.. ayun puro gasgas..

i guess kung walang safe pay parking.. wag na lang dalhin ang sasakyan..

[robot.sonic]

malaki ngang problema yan. wala pang nakakaimbento ng sagot dyan.

pwede ka siguro magdala ng car cover palagi para everytime nagpapark ka may pang cover ka. tsaka face cover na rin kasi nakakahiya yan kung ganyan ang gagawin mo.

pwede rin siguro lipat na lang ng ibang planeta? joke lang ha.

Kaya dapat early lagi sa appointment para makapili ka ng parking!

Keep it dirty. My car was dirty for the last three weeks because of the rains (I didn't bother going to the car wash during the recent rains) and practically everyone avoided touching my car. The only one who touched my car was a passing stray cat who left visible paw print tracks on my hood and roof. hehehe

10,000 volt alarm system? :D

I avoid them by trying to chose carefully where i park as much as possible but there are times when you cannot avoid it really so when i know I'm going to a place where there is a chance that the car will be exposed to such people, i take an old car with more scratches.

This is one of my peeves as some people just don't know how to respect other people's property.

If you cannot find a decent parking ( translated to : PAY PARKING ) then you can do either

1. Cover your car ( looks stupid tho'. Haha. ) ; or ...
2. Not bring your car at all

[uls]

don't use your favorite car as daily driver

use a less favorite one. yung pag nagasgas konte hindi masisira araw mo

[shadow]

The only way to prevent this is not tonuse your car at all. But why would you do that? Kaya ka nga bumili ng kotse para gamitin eh.

[jansky]

dont drive your car.. just park in your own garage in that way you can preserve the cleanliness of your car

or ung suhesto ni Renzo dala ka lagi ng car cover

anong mall yan, na may tambay? baka sa free parking, usually yung mga drivers makikita mo sila. andun din.

usually maraming tambay sa mga iskinita, sa public places. pag sa lugar na ganyan, talagang di maiiwasan na sandalan yan, at doonpa magku-kuwentuhan. pag ganyan, huwag ka nang magtagal pa, balik na lang ka'gad at sumibat na.

or, sabi nga ng iba....park ka sa pay parking, at maglakad ka na lang sa destination mo.

[_Qwerty_]

or park ka sa ilalim nang araw yung mainit na mainit.. yan walang tatambay dyan..

If I can't find any suitable parking spots, I leave.
If may gimmick, I send an apology to my friends.
Since kilala na nila yung ugali ko, they understand.

By the way, keeping your car dirty / clean won't help.
Dati madumi yung kotse ko. When I came back, may nakasulat sa dust na "Please clean me."
Nung isang beses naman, kakaka 3-step detail ko lang...super kinis. When I came back, may greasy finger writing, "Kintab"
Walang ligtas!

Totoo yan brother.... minsan ang nakasulat, "Hugasan mo ako"

[slvrsrfr2301]

don't use the car...

ako date na experience ko rin yan, kase middle side of sm parking lot, so hindi kita, lagi may dikit marks. so ginawa ko, after mass, maaga pa lang, nasa sm na ako, naka park na rin ako sa ilalim ng shade, sa tapat mismo ng guard, lookers na lang ngayon...kalaban ko na lang, mga bopols na basta basta magbukas ng pinto, may isang dimple na yung sasakyan ngayon...pag yung luma naman gamit ko, same procedure, mas dikitin yun kase dark green compared to white, pag marumi, wala naman nakikialam, nakakainis lang pag basa, hinahawakan, pambasa nila ng kamay.

ang nakakainis talaga, nasa stop light ka, may kakapit sa salamin, o may pupunas sa salamin.

Park far away from pedestrian traffic, e.g., in malls, park far from the entrances, at office or work, park at the farthest slot.

^^^Extra exercise iyan, bro. That's good!

In some places its worse if you park a dirty car, kids will write all over it with their fingers. No choice talaga sa Pilipinas, minsan even in nicer neighborhoods may naliligaw din na regular Pinoy with no sense of respect for someone else's property and space.

[vh3r]

palaminate mo kotse mo baka sakali di magasgasan :D

tapos kapag naka laminate na lagyan mo ng kulambo :P

What I hate most is when I fill-up for gas and the gasoline boy rests his other hand on the car while inserting the nozzle in the gas tank. They don't realize that handprints leave smudge marks that ruins the shine of one's car. I guess it's a guy thing. Most men want their cars always clean and shiny with hardly any scratches. Makes me remember a car sticker from the old Mad Magazine days which says: "You touch my car, I break your face." They say that a car is the extension of one's manhood, so I'm always extra careful not to touch other cars even in crowded parking places.
