The BAD PARKING Thread [Vol 2]

Picture taken primarily of the Volvo, which swung in as I walked back to my car. Driver was too far away to hear my contemptuous "really?" when I got back to mine (the one on the right)...
Mine is a Mondeo (fairly large car), and parked more or less central in a bay. It's slightly over to the right as you look at it, because a woman in an Insignia was closer to the line than the Volvo when I arrived, but well within the realms of 'properly parked'.
I snapped the Volvo because of the sheer idleness of him not bothering to straighten it up, and there were two empty spaces to his left. What struck me on uploading the picture was the fact that, out of the other five cars in the image, not one seems to be anywhere near "straight and central" in their bay. Sadly, it's typical parking for Waitrose in Frimley, though.

Nursery car park - Corsa driver couldn't be bothered to pull forward into the empty space so just abandoned it in the middle at a jaunty angle.
I'm not agreeing with the parking in this photo, but it does look from the angle the photo was taken that if the Corsa had pulled in to the space it would have been tight for getting out.

170 drivers left trapped by bad parking
Around 170 drivers had their cars trapped for three hours because selfish motorists parked in the wrong place on an overcrowded car park.
Knowing how the local press works, I'd imagine that they weren't there to take pictures of the actual parking that resulted in folk being 'blocked in' and that these are pictures of (slightly less serious) selfishness taken at a later stage to illustrate the story Around 170 drivers had their cars trapped for three hours because selfish motorists parked in the wrong place on an overcrowded car park.
None of which makes the parking in that photo any less terrible.
Nor does it make the car in the picture any less an Audi
