Sunday morning shopping in Camberley. Got back to my car and found this Q3 dumped into its space. Just enough room for me to get in without damaging my door.

I didn't have anything to write on to leave a polite note.

p.s. Apologies for the rubbish photo.
2 bad bits of parking, imo.

So you're condoning vandalism of vehicles?

He might not, but I certainly do tongue out

If I'm walking along a F-O-O-T-W-A-Y and there is a parked car on it, I'm getting through, whether the twunt that dumped it there likes it or not. If that means dragging my shopping bag down it's flanks, then so be it. Don't like it? Park your feckin' motor carriage in the bloody carriageway then!!! I've also been known to knock door mirrors too, when space is particularly tight due to the car being badly parked. Forwards or backwards, I'm not fussy. Oops! Clumsy me! It was accidental, after all, unlike the deliberate and utter selfish premeditated decision to obstruct the road. And god help the idiot who challenges me - they'll be on the receiving end of a personal injury claim for chronic elbow pain faster than st off a particularly greasy shovel. And hey? All this "it isn't illegal to park on the pavement" st? Bcensoredks. It's illegal to drive on that part of the highway set aside for the passage of foot traffic. And you cannot get a car into a 'parked' position without driving it there. Ergo, the driver has committed an offence. Two wrongs may not make a right, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be standing around like a lemon, waiting for a gap in traffic to walk around the obstruction when it is my INALIENABLE right to pass and repass along a footway dedicated for public use. Cars on the carriageway, pedestrians on the footway. Simple rules, really, and people who ignore them shouldn't have any legal protection if their vehicle is damaged while it is causing an obstruction.

He forgot to mention climbing over the car if it blocks the full width of the pavement of a busy road, other than that I totally agree wink

Key word "Would be a pity". Having cleared that up, I would not ever park my car like that idiot has.

,Freshwater NSW, apologise for the bad pic, an old I Phone.




Lots of signs like no parking, 24 hour access etc etc, so white van parks there.

Probably because you didn't reverse park rolleyes

Why would you reverse park when you're going shopping? Leaving an unattended trolley rolling slowly across the car park roadway whilst having to shuffle awkwardly between cars, dragging your bags down the side of your car (and probably somebody else's) to get to your boot, what for? Self righteousness? Tit!

Have always reversed parked, safer, and if I can't get mt trolly around the back I move out, sorted. Endless discussion I know.

poorly parked for sure (on the piss as well as overhanging) - but the Jag would actually overhang the space regardless, spaces do need to get bigger

Probably doesn't help that the camper is also overhanging, so the OP got a 2 for 1 in bad parking shots. The car being on the piss does kind of indicate that they would have parked that way even if the camper wasn't overhanging.

Granted, the camper is slightly encroaching, but it's not the Jag's overhang that was the issue; the issue was the angle they "parked" at, since that car park is one-way, approach to that space would've been from the right, and the width of those spaces means they're most definitely not suitable for a car of that size, especially when the dozy of a driver can't park properly!

Or people could think more about what they use the car for before they buy.
