The tt with the old Landcruiser who thinks that parking spaces dont apply to him, so leaves his car parked fully on the pavement or on the grass areas in front of the houses. The communal parking has recently been extended and this prick still abandons his vehicle wherever the hell he wants.
Parking on the footpath is becoming almost socially acceptable now. Grade A k-nobheads.

It's one of the things that really yanks my chain - the assumption by some motorists that a broad footpath, or a grass verge, is a legitimate place to park. It's a symptom of the colossal laziness/self entitlement/I'm alright Jack attitude that is becoming all too prevalent on the roads.

Or, typical entitled new parent.

See: people (women) with pushchairs who use them as a threat of an ankle battering if you don't get out of their way, while they walk 3 abreast on the footway. Or who leave them across the whole footway while they natter to the other full time mummy they're talking to. Or who expect everyone else to put up with their screaming little turd while they natter to someone in a restaurant/on a plane/train/bus.

New parents are just about the most selfish, pompous, pretentious fks on the planet, and think that everything should revolve around them and their spawn. Conversations, photos, political decisions, fking "World's greatest daddy" mugs etc. All utter cocks.

Doubly so if they call their kid Olly, Toby, Charlie, or Fenella.

They'll be divorced and one half will be a failed weekend parent within 5 years.

No problem with kids. Big problem with other people's kid's parents. biggrin

Not exactly hard to drop your wife/partner and child off first then and park the car afterwards.

But, that would mean 'effort'.

[sarcasm]Much better to try it and see if anyone you deliberately inconvenience, just sucks it up quietly, or actually bothers to complain. AND You can always ask them if they think they are the police, to deflect attention. [/sarcasm]
It's the same distance to walk from the car park to the back door as it is from where they parked to the front door!

Why are you motorists always in such a hurry??
So I just loaf about until you deign to return do I?

Why leave your bike chained to something it is inevitably going to slide around or down & damage other people's property, or be lying across the pavement when a pedestrian tries to get past it & there are purpose built racks on the other side of the road?

Would you deem it acceptable if someone unknown left their car across your driveway or other access to your dwelling & just disappeared so you couldn't get in or out?

If you're representative of cyclists, that will be why a large % of other road users get so annoyed with you all.

Bloke in the tyre shop earlier with a Land cruiser.

Manager scoured the web for cheapest possible tyres.

Still shocked at cost.

"Surprise"...... 2 tonne behemoth needs expensive rubber.

The Police car in the inside lane on the M23 earlier who did absolutely nothing about the car in outside lane travelling at 60MPH whilst overtaking nothing and causing tailbacks. Hoping to get lit up and pulled so I could ask why he wasn't doing anything about the guy in the outside lane I blasted through the middle of them at 79 and just got on with my life, again with absolutely no consequences. What good is a policeman in a traffic car on a motorway if he isn't going to do anything?

Policeman is a knob, the guy in the other car was a knob and I am just a general knobby driver.

(This one)

Who was feverishly trying to straighten it back up by hand. Looking sheepish.

Looked like done the NS trackrod as well given by the fact the wheels were pointing in different directions. It was mid morning heavy traffic made worse of course by his inability to drive according to the road and his talent.
Are you sure it wasn't a CLK430?
laugh

Reasonably sure biggrin Given I sat next to it at the lights laughing at the driver laugh

Is this really a massive problem? Can't say I've ever seen many times in all my years of 2 or 4 wheeled transport.

Far worse is when you've locked your bike to something and come back to find someone's locked their bike to the same thing but not turned their bike round 180 degrees. laugh

Anyway.

The knob in the white scirroco that drove past a queue of traffic (maybe 12 cars) to try and push in at the front. Was a regular 2 way road so he was on the wrong side of the road when he got to the Junction. Which obviously caused issues.

Saving grace was when a woman jumped out her car 2 back, ran to his window. Tapped on it. Then flashed her Met Police badge at him. I could hear the conversation. He denied it. Said he thought the road was 2 lanes. Told her she was wrong. Knew "his rights" rolleyes

YOU, our fat fking friend are a . And your Mrs was fking ugly too I hope you got a FPN for that st laugh

The knew "his rights" element absolutely confirms that he is a Grade A utter throbber.

On a owners club page on Facebook and a women has wrote a big story about how they've been conned out there money buying a cat c car (they knew it was cat c) and how it's not been fixed perfectly. Complains that she's scared to take her children in the car and then tell everyone she went to see it at nighttime.

1. Why would you buy a crash repaired car to ferry your kids about
2. Why would you buy a crash repaired car in the dark when you can't see the repairs nor things wrong with it?

Have we had chucking rubbish out of car windows in car parks?

Waiting for my daughter at Gillingham ice rink (which seems to attract chavs for some reason) the other night and a crappy Golf pulls in with a couple of geezers on board.

Within a couple of minutes fish and chip boxes, drinks cans and an empty poverty pack of 10 cigarettes box came flying out the window.

The thing that made me wonder about the future of the human race was that after having a slash in a bush, they drove about 20 meters to park outside the door in a disabled bay away from their pile of rubbish and went inside to I'm assume go ice skating.

Why would you make the place you live or places you visit etc look like a complete toilet when there's a bin a few meters away.

Luckily for them I'd had a hard day dominating a staircase and being a powerfully built company director so left them to it.

You should have let their tyres down, or something. Or painted DYLs under their car and called the police.

Don't get me started!mad I was at McDonalds the other day and managed to witness no less than 4 people, of various ages, races and income levels (judging by what they were driving) dump all of their st out of the window, despite several bins in close proximity.
By the third time I'd had enough and challenged a bloke in his late 30's in a new Merc about it and was told to fk off.I really despair sometimesrolleyes

Any little dumped from a vehicle is fly tipping. The Police will only pursue littering if they see it themselves, but if you make a note of the plate and report it to the Council for fly tipping the Council will report it on and it will be added it to the Police database. The next time they go past an ANPR equipped Police vehicle they'll be stopped and the vehicle searched.

Most people who go such establishments are criminals or lazy so either way so being pulled for Mcfly-tipping could net a result or inconvenience them at the very least. hehe

Read my original post PROPERLY.

I wanted to get into the back door of the car, having returned to it from what I had been doing, bike knob arrived after me & blocked the door.

Also, in that particular area they give you a marked bay to park in & if you don't do so you get fined.

Il ask again. Would you find it acceptable if someone unknown to you blocked your driveway at home & just disappeared , or left their car so you couldn't access your front door?

Has your car only one door? Mine has several. Might be a pain for you to use another door, if it has another door to use, but it's much more of an inconvenience to get back to your bike to discover someone has stolen it.

No idea how much further back in the thread the full unedited post was. Apologies for misinterpretation of the material available.

The number of doors issues if you're trying to load a little person the last thing you want to do is have to walk into the street and put them in the other side so frustration understood.

But lamp posts tend to be round and picking the bike up, rotating it round so you can access your vehicle would have been a more logical step.
