I know a guy who works at my local Tesco who told me that a couple of weeks ago a bloke in a Smart car with a young child in the front politely ask a woman on her own if she would move her car from the family space.

She said no as she was in a hurry. Apparently he then proceeded to park his Smart car behind the woman's car so she could not get out of the parking space.

Security in the store refused to assist the woman because they were aware she was on her own. Plod also refused to assist as the car park is private property & the store manager also said that he was unable to assist the woman.

Aforementioned bloke returned after 90 minutes, having spent around an hour in the coffee shop, with a single loaf of bread!!!

He apparently smiled at the fuming woman, buckled his kid into the front seat & drove off.

I don't know if this is true however I don't think that the guy I know is prone to making up stories like this.

Pity more people don't do this.

Lazy inconsiderate tts.

I do hope that's true.

Sadly that kind of moronic inconsiderate parking is a regular occurrence at my local Sainsburys.

Constant stream of single people or couples without children who park in the family spaces.

Usual excuses. I'll park where I like, my kids are at home, i wont be very long, it's closer to the shop.....

The usual selfish tts.

Love the story and hope it is true too.

However, last time this came up we ended up with a long discussion last time about why having children makes you more deserving of a parking space closer to the shop that someone who has a nice car.

Has anyone ever noted down the reg. of a badly parked vehicle with a company name, and phone number, writ large all over it, and then 'called the boss' to report the driver's poor parking?

No, have you?

Just finished a session phoning bosses about badly parked cars/vans/HGV etc.

On a Sunday evening? Hmmmmmm?

[fatboy69]

I am assured that it is what happened. I didn't see it however. Have no reason to doubt the bloke who told me.

If I get cut up by a liveried vehicle I use my unlimited minutes to make calls to the number displayed when I am sitting around doing nothing ie sitting waiting for my daughter. Or I sign the email address up to gay pron sites. If you are going to pish around in a signwritten vehicle then drive properly.

Do you also report them when you see them speeding?

Parked for at least 45mins.

It's not the worst I've seen parked there to use the cafe.

It's a dead end behind whoever took the picture so there's not going to be much trying to get past. you could park there all day and no one would bat an eyelid

Honestly! That's terrible parking! That car needs to be about 5 metres further forwards

Someone on here reported one, that had been posted on the forum, it ended badly, with the poster getting threats, and having to leave the forum.

I can confirm that a number of years ago I did exactly the same thing, only with a disabled bay....
Funnily enough it was also a tesco store....
Basically I was just about to reverse into a blue badge bay, and some tt in a golf pinched my spot by driving in just as I was beginning to reverse.....no badge on display, and when I said Oi what's your game, I was just about to park, he said Tough st, and swaggered off...
I was livid..... So I parked my old cherokee directly across the back of his car...and went in the store.
10 minutes later the tannoy asked if the owner of a jeep reg No N*** ABC could come to the service desk??
I got there eventually.....took about 45 minutes
