I saw exactly the same in a different Tesco last night, two orange men with perfect hair and no socks jumped out and bought two bottles of rose each.
I felt so sorry for them that I didn't have the heart to point out their poor parking.

I'd definitely go for the former. Car park was tiny, albeit with sizeable bays, and was busy when we arrived and left. No excuse other than being an absolute chode.

This takes some beating:



Parking is a bit limited round there - but using the footpath & a complete lane as parking spaces is certainly a different approach to parking

Does the signage on the fence / tree relate to parking?

Edit to add: there is a No Parking / Clearway sign clearly visible down the road!

At least one sign refers to dog fouling - locals take no notice and you play dog-st slalom every time you go for a walk.

The designated parking on the other side of the road is always full, so people park where they can - but the parking in this pic is extreme even by local standards.

I have OCD and no matter what I need my bloody van parked straight

Know the feeling. I see people drive into a car park at the same time as me and jump out (not perfectly straight, of course) while I'm still straightening up. I'm not talking spending 30 minutes parking but I'll often do a re-entry to straighten up - mind you, having an oil tanker sized turning circle doesn't help.

I had a chuckle the other day when I saw some old git park perfectly in a space first time & then shuffle the car about for several goes to get it over the white lines on both sides & the front of the space.

Those bays look quite wide as well, and he could have backed in next to the kerb, tt of the highest order, almost worth parking in front of them.

It wasn't me, then. I have yet to park it perfectly first time.

They were so old I just assumed it could only be MBH.

Problem is the Volvo turning circle is so big, you drive into a Tesco car park, find a free space, drive forwards with a view to reversing, reverse, tidy up, get out and find you've parked in Lithuania.

I am o.k with bad parking...and I do it often...as sick of bad door opening skills by other drivers / passengers....resulting in bent panels...most cars park have space sizes for 70's cars
