The BAD PARKING thread
Discussion
Took the dog for a walk yesterday and passed the local Co-Op shop. Someone had abandoned their Vectra at the T-junction. Not on the corner or anything, but actually in the middle of the road blocking the road! Impressive parking if you ask me. People were just standing and staring as they simply couldnt believe it. Obviously just nipped in for something quick, but I have to say that's probably the most arrogant thing I have seen for some time....

I know some people will fling open their doors into other cars in carparks but its still a major pain in the arse in a busy car park when you see people parking like this.
I tend to just park at the quiet end away from the other cars.
We just waited till the car park emptied then parked tight either side of him, he had to climb in with the roof down as he was too proud to admit he was in the wrong!

One of the great things about having a st car is that you can park as close as you want to someone who can't stay in their own bay and then laugh as they struggle to get back in
Man do they bh and moan about it though!Me parked spot on in the middle of my bay at service station (Muffin break).
Car next to me parked a few inches into my bay.
Wing mirrors 1 cm apart (Well I dont want a ding)
Driver who cant park returns to their vehicle as I'm part way through my muffin.
Him: "How the F**k am I supposed to get in there"
Me: "Park it in a space?"
Him: Lots of swearing and abuse directed at me.
Me: He looks pretty angry I'd best move the car back so he can get in. Hope the point was made though.

The real issue is most (if not all) car parks have signs saying 'Park here at your own risk. The owners of this car park cannot accept liability for damage to your vehicle'. So by parking like this, I am parking in such a way that reduces the risk of damage to my car from other peoples doors. I am managing the risk.
Some might see it as selfish, but if there are plenty of other spaces in the car park it's really not affecting anyone. I would NEVER park my RS in a busy supermarket car park.

Spotted in my local B&Q car park. Granted it was quiet and there were no other cars near it, but if it was so quiet then why not just park like a normal person?
because sods law says someone will still part right next to you. Edited by cv01jw on Tuesday 3rd November 13:06
Had the same outside sainsburys the other day, carpark was dead decided to park in the middile of an empty row miles from the store.
Come back to find 4 cars around me!

Because people tend to park next to other vehicles. It's not so bad with Landies, as you come out from the shop and there are usually 2 or 3 other landies clustered arround yours And they're all usually dented anyway so you don't worry about scratches and dents!Edited by cv01jw on Tuesday 3rd November 13:06

Sometimes I have to go in via the sliding side door.
Beach syndrome? Only people on beach. 10 mins later and someone will setup right next to you and moan about it.

I keep seeing such poor parking that I thought we should have a thread with soem photos to amuse and discuss.
I'll kick the ball rolling with this white van who parks in the same place on the corner of a T junction nearly every night.
Wish I had a picture as I can top that, last night driving to the local supermarket saw a silver Mk2 ver.1 Clio parked in a similar manner, but 3 foot from the kerb the whole way around. No other cars in sight.I'll kick the ball rolling with this white van who parks in the same place on the corner of a T junction nearly every night.
