Karma's coming for you-hoo!

This blog deals with the sorry tale of a navy blue Renault Megane that met her fate in an almost entirely empty Tesco car park, around midnight, one Friday evening.  Megane had had a distinctly average day.  She had taken the rubbish out, gone to the Post Office, had coffee with friends and spent the afternoon parked up in the drive, basking in the last remnants of sunshine before dusk fell.


Later that evening Megane realised she was out of milk and made a quick trip to her local Tesco store at around midnight.  A few cars were dotted around the car park and Megane picked a prime bay close to the entrance to park while she made her purchase.  Fifteen minutes later Megane was coming to a halt in her driveway when she noticed a small white note under her window wiper, blowing gently in the breeze.  The note read...

The culprit was never found and Megane was left feeling somewhat startled at the evening's events.


The moral of this story is this:  If you have difficulty parking next to other cars in parking bays designed to accommodate many cars DO NOT PARK there.  In fact, don't park anywhere.  Just drive to McDonalds and make a purchase at their drive thru facility thus minimising the risk that you may reverse / drive into another stationery car.  That way you can purchase all the food / drink you may have otherwise purchased at Tesco without hitting another vehicle.  Awesome.


Secondly, if you do end up bumping into another car DO NOT leave a cowardly note because you wanted people to think you were complying with your legal obligation to supply your details.  Chances are, whoever finds the note, will share it with their equally bemused friends on Facebook, Twitter, on their blog...perhaps even in their - and your - local newspaper.  You know, for good measure.


Karma's a real bitch, eh?
