I'm ashamed to say this, however this was the wife's car this morning:
My missus would have left that diagonally, in the living room of the house opposite, with the engine still running, whilst simultaneously texting someone and applying make-up, after having road-raged the householder for the state of their living room which she had just demolished, before denying anything and saying "it's just a car".

Wife came back to the Honda , To find this
The scary thing was the Girl , who had just passed her test , had turned the wheels full lock and was about to reverse out ?? Which would have caused more damage
After a bit of a discussion she decided to wait for her Dad to come and move the car .
Interestingly ,her Mother turns up and starts ranting to the wife about insurance , "were not claiming " Don't take photos etc etc.
I spoke with her Dad on the Phone who seemed a decent chap , he agreed as our car was parked it was entirely the daughters fault , he couldn't see any damage , I said i'd have a look at the car when the wife brought it home and give him a call
luckily the rubber protective strip did its job ,So no damage and no claim
Dad seemed very relieved ...........
bloody glad it wasn't the E type !!

The scary thing is that the girl had passed her test, and presumably had instruction in the run up to her test. How, in the name of [insert deity of choice] can someone with such a poor grasp of vehicle control have passed the driving test?!

From a mountain bike ride yesterday...
Blocking this gateway from an MOD training area onto the Old Guildford Road.
And one from the other side.
What's that you say? It doesn't look likely to inconvenience anyone? It's not even a through road, and it's just a succession of muddy puddles at that point anyway?
Well this...
...might prove just how much of a complete TWUNT! this driver is. "No Parking - Emergency Access". Why? It's the official ambulance RV point for this part of the training area. It's where ambulances would be met to attend casualties caused by training accidents etc. I mean, sod it. Next time I've a hospital appointment, perhaps I should park sideways across the doors to A&E? F**king selfish f**cking twunts. So long as Fido doesn't have to walk too far to take a dump, eh?

Seriously?
You think that builders should be able to lay hardcore on someone elses lands simply to provide themselves with free parking?
Why stop at builders, why shouldn't everyone have that right?
I would expect some pound notes to change hands too - someone knows that builders will be required for a while and will need to park.You think that builders should be able to lay hardcore on someone elses lands simply to provide themselves with free parking?

Those builder shots reminded me of this lot...
There's a couple of not great parking's on there - but I don't think it's too bad. I assume there is some sort of project on the train lines going on, and these tend to be done quickly - parking is not going to be provided....Vipers said:
Is there no hope
And the sign BEHIND him
And these bays here are wider than the average, the reason I always park there. Reverse in end bay, as close to the kerb as I can be, maximising room on drivers side.
If I was marshaling that car park I'd be issuing the £70 'charge' to every car parked incorrectly..And the sign BEHIND him

They soon dish them out for people overstaying the allotted time by 15 seconds, surely taking up 2 spaces is more 'punishable'..

Badly worded sign says you can issue a "Parking charge notice of £70". Doesn't say there's an actual charge at all, just a notice.They soon dish them out for people overstaying the allotted time by 15 seconds, surely taking up 2 spaces is more 'punishable'..
Really wish i had taken a picture now...
Dropped the GF back to her uni house lat night, cars are parked down both sides of the street, there is room for one car only to go up or down the road.
Half way down i encounter two cars parked in the middle, engines and lights off, no one around to be seen.

Not sure if this qualifies, as it ends up straight in the space.
But the approach is something else.

I can't stand them personally, but if they're going to go to the effort of issuing them, may as well do them for everything.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
