That's a cracker.

The best one for a while I recon.
That is spectacularly sh&t/stupid/inconsiderate/f^&*witted [delete or add to as appropriate]. That ought to be a licence losing piece of f%&tardedness.

And these pictures were all taken between 10pm and midnight. He basically just drives them home, dumps them on our street for the night / weekend and carries on his journey the next working day. What a tool...

RE: the pictures of the HGV's parked in residential areas

when I had this problem near me the local council were very interested and chased up the owner/driver and it soon stopped. Conditions of the HGV operators licence are you must have somewhere suitable to park it overnight.

That photo was taken from my living room window one weekend. I sat there for HOURS praying the middle car driver would return first.

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.



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.
Megaprat.
Firstly - as said before - why do people think because they have a kid, quite capable of walking, they should get priority parking. Non-walking maybe, but still. Disabled, yes.
Secondly - this is a concession by the store, not some sort of legal right. If the store is not prepared to enforce (and generally they won't) why does he feel he has a right. Massive sense of entitlement.
Third - he's a simple bully. I don't believe for a moment he would have done the same to a 16-stone, tattooed, shaven headed man in a white van - but it was safe because it was a women.

In my city centre Waitrose I frequently use these bays without children. I've never seen them all used and if the other bays were a sensible size then I would be more inclined to use them. And no I haven't been challenged on this by anyone, and I am quite obviously not the only person.

Anal retentive ahole!

Yours sincerely
A lazy inconsiderate tt (who's actually never inconvenienced anyone)

Usually, but not always, where possible the child/family spaces are located so that the children don't have to cross the road or parts of the car park where there are moving vehicles to reduce the likely hood that they get run over. I know at my local Sainsbury's the child spaces are not the closest to the door, but are the spaces that would be safest to park with small children.

A reasonable point which I hadn't recognised.

Rather wasted at my Waitrose where these places face the wall, although adjacent to the exit, forcing everyone to walk in the carpark roadway.

Has anyone done a count of car makes here - it seems to me that BMW and Audi seem to be massively over represented......or is it a case of confirmation bias?

Probably because there are Thousands of the Bloody things on the road now, and a lot of them are driven by tits!

Out of interest, why do you feel you have a right for these bays, can you not walk or do you have a 'Massive sense of entitlement'?

Do you shop in the Waitrose, or just go for the free coffee?

Maybe the parents should watch their children more closely?
