I never fold them in. There was enough room to get a bus through so didnt feel the need to.

Should always fold them in then it saves cunts (as about 3/4 of the population of this country are) from even having the option to touch them.

You could have folded them in anyway tbf. But does annoy me when people do that sort of thing (leave notes for no real reason)

Although people vandalising cars should be shot, if you have electric mirrors there's no reason not to put them in.

why though not one person i know of who drives puts there mirrors in when parked, there is no reason a car should be that close to you that it would make any difference at all if there folded in or not.

Do they have electric ones?
I would never fold them in manually but I do with electric ones in situations like that because it's so easy.

In normal parking spaces etc I wouldn't expect it, but if parked at the side of the road, I'd do it just to save the hassle of some idiot getting a tad too close when passing.

My Dad parked his car outside the house opposite my Uncles years back, just a normal place where you are perfectly allowed to park. Came back to a note saying don't park there again as it blocks the sunlight 
Never seen my Dad go so mad, knocked on the door had an argument with the guy and shove the note down his top, I was wetting myself

Retracting the mirrors doesnt give much more room, an inch or 2 tops, as they are the spin upwards type. I would feel like a total biff spinning the mirrors round every time I park on the road!!

TBH sounds like some total nob jockey with nothing better to do. Like you say you cant buy a house near a church and expect the road to never have cars parked along it!

Jelours bastards is what i'd put it down to dude.
I had a wing mirror cracked a couple of weeks back by some know who can't drive. Could have got 3 cars down the middle of that road. He probably managed to twat my mirror being a single car. I just give up, one thing after another!

where were you in the early hours of the morning cosmo? a mate of mine had 4 of his windows done in with bricks and then you post something like this. seems like a pretty big coincidence if you ask me.
as john travolta said in pulp fiction, you should never fuck with a man's car. you just don't do it.

Needless to say, he wasn't best pleased so he went to the door and ordered them to come outside, take the note off the window and wash the glue off or he'd phone the police and report them for vandalism, so they did.
But anyway, yeah, some people have no life, or they just love to moan about shit.
That's Stoney for you  
But, seriously that's pretty shit!
Was in Aberdeen actually

when i had my nova when i was 17 i went to our local tesco with my gf at the time and her sister. me and the gf went in tesco and the gf sister stayed in the back. my rear windows were heavily tinted so made it near impossible to see in.
got a text from gf sister saying a man had opened his car door and smacked my car, looked around to see if anyone saw, and then did it again on purpose!! he hadnt seen gf sister in rear of car because of tints. so i came out, he had gone into the store at this stage, so i caved his door in with my foot.
karma imo

It's nothing to do with room though, it's so you don't give them the chance to push them in and fuck them. My old dear presses the button to pull them in as force of habit, even in the driveway.

I very nearly done the same thing a few months ago, guy in an audi parked next to my gf's car (while i was over viewing my current corsa) he opened the door hit my gf's car said sorry and fucked off into halfords, he was lucky his wife and kids were with him and that he only made a tiny mark
