If they look female or old, steer clear.

If it's a Honda Jazz/Vaux Agila/Daewoo Matiz, find a different parking area.

Park in the Spacker or Parent and baby spaces and if anyone questions it politely tell them you're collecting your elderly mother/grandmother (adapt to fit) or meeting your wife and kids in there.

I've also found the stty parking only happens in Tescos or Morrisons. If you go to Waitrose you find a better class of people that actually respect other people's possessions.

Spacker spaces? Nice one.

No, the people you are trying to avoid are the ones like yourself, selfish pricks..

I agree, but you have to turn selfish on every one and again. Why should I turn the other cheek? Where will that get me? Apart from a reduction in my bank account, in this circumstance.

So when you are parking in the child and parent space you won't be complaining about me repeatedly smashing my door into the side of your car


Excellent

Well done, you've established that you're in the same league as the people I am avoiding. like I said, continue with your Christian attitude, and you can pay the dent removal man eery time you get a fresh one.

No you are avoiding people who are basically like yourself

Selfish

I would suggest you avoid mirrors


As to paying the dent removal man

Have you seen what i drive

Then don't take your car to the supermarket.

If somebody broke into my car tonight, would that make it ok for me to key your car tomorrow?

I mean, the thief didn't worry about my car so why should i worry about yours??

what's your disabilmate caused by, mate?

That's not a word. Do you mean disability? I don't have one, but I work with disabled children.

• edit* just to add - we all have different taste and opinions (perfect example being this thread itself) just because you don't like a certain thing, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't either. No doubt if I saw certain aspects of your life I would disagree with one of them.

To be fair, I like clubbies, helped my ex do hers up a bit.

Wow, homophobic as well as selfish.

So because someone else doesn't give a fk about your property you believe it is your divine right to use a parent and child space

Therefore denying someone with kids the use of the parent and child space

So if you don't give a fk about someone else why should anyone else give a fk about your property?

I have never once in my life ever parked in a parent or child space, but with this sort of attitude from parents I might just start.

People aren't allowed to care about their possessions but yet are supposed to care about your kids, children that they have never met, nor are likely to meet. Why do you feel that you need a god given parking space because you've managed to serve your sole biological purpose reason and reproduced?

And for the record, I won't buy the excuse that their darling little legs won't be able to carry them all the way from a 'normal' parking space to the store entrance because quite frankly, your child is more likely walk 3 times that as you drag them around the Supermarket. If they sturggle with walking that much, do not bring them food shopping. Or carry them to the entrance so you can stick them in a trolley, or more likely the trolley parks which are scattered amply across the car park, not just the entrance.

Or do you need the wider spaces, for YOUR convenience of getting them in and out of the car (and it is for YOUR convenience. I doubt their is a parent on this forum who did not manage to strap their child into a car seat because they couldn't get parked in a parent and child bay and had to park with us childless folk). Just like I'd like wider spaces for convenience of not coming back and seeing my car dented, most likely by a snot nosed little brat that hasn't been taught any respect for people's property. The same snot nosed little brat that I'm supposed to stay out of parent and child spaces for in the first place? Hah! Irony.

I really don't give a fk if I sound like an ahole or not. Its not like I hate kids or anything, but I hate this sort of attitude that because you have managed to reproduce suddenly you and your children's convenience is suddenly automatically worth far, far more than mine quite frankly pisses me off.

Don't voice your opinion mate, you'll be burned alive for bucking the trend and showing some self preservation for your property.

You going to give me a lift there?
And your response regarding someone breaking into your car isn't applicable to the topic. It's car park psychology being discussed. Start a new topic regarding general psychology.

At our local Savacentre (Calcot) there seems to be a mentality that drives people to park their cars/4x4's in the waiting area by the door and to leave them there. Even though 5 yards away there are perfectly good marked parking spaces, but then I suppose the waiting area was built specially for them!! It does mean they are 5 yards closer to the shop.

I do that at my local tesco's. Have always said I'll stop doing it when the staff do.

1 I don't have any kids

2 if your car is too precious to take to a carpark then don't take it

Its the rule i use

If something is too precious to leave somewhere dodgy i tend not to leave it there

Its not hard

Lol, good point.
You'd better change 'have' for 'i've' though, or mr zitup, or xitup, or whatever will winge at you for grammatical errors.

Erm, no.

You think because somebody (not necessarily the people using p+c) don't care about dinging your car, then you don''t have to care about using a p+c space.

So likewise, somebody doesn't care about breaking into my car why would i care if i key your car?

You're just a prick, and now i know what goes through the mind of the people like you, the next time i see someone parking in disabled or p+c i might just make life hard for them.

Lol you can try and make life as hard as possible for me.

I very rarely eat fast food but I am always amazed at the state of McDonalds car parks - why do some of their customers think it is acceptable to turf their rubbish out of their car window rather than walk the few short steps to a bin?

I work for Waitrose and there's a in a black ferrari with a PH Sticker on it that comes in every saturday and parks in a disabled spot, he is not disabled nor does he have a disabled parking permit, He also wears a leather ferrari jacket, even in the summer.

If you're reading this, you may be rich/own a nice car, but park in the proper fking spots you prick.

I really don't get why people do this, there is no need. I saw this guy getting out of his car having parked in a disabled bay at Beaconsfield Services the other day. And it was the last disabled bay available so if someone who actually was disabled turned up, they'd have nowhere to park.

I think it's just arrogance.

[buzzer]

I parked on Black Rock Sands... My son in Law was in another car following and as I stopped he parked so close to me out daughter opened the door and dinked my car!

There were only a dozen cars on the entire beach!

This really hacks me off,
