The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

Concrete pillars in a car park? Nightmare to squeeze in and out.
The spaces are large enough for me to park a FF Range Rover next to a RR Sport & the posts are far enough forward that you can open doors normally. It can actually work quite well so long as everyone parks sensibly.@ X5TUU - Not Hilton Leeds, Novotel Bristol - not particularly tight
Someone else had the same view as I did - there was a note left on it in the morning
This car and a usually a few others always park like this, forcing pushchairs into the road. This Citroen actually had baby seats in the back, so its a parent that parks like this, which makes it even more appalling. You'll note the gap in the wall behind leading onto their drive, which had no cars parked on it.

Five spaces, three cars... none of them remotely conforming to the stereotype of cars you'd expect to park badly, either.
Why would you expect them to park with any more attention?

Don't be daft.
If the RR driver was that bothered he'd have ended his very important call earlier and dealt with the guy filming him. You also can't see the kids in the car anyway.
Also, do paedophiles really get there kicks from watching mobile phone footage of a kid in the back seat of a RR while dad's on the phone in the front? Somehow I think not.

I'm not necessarily saying it's to deter paedophiles but more that people aren't very comfortable with others filming their children, regardless of intention.

Two chavettes got in just after the photo was taken, I'm surprised it wasn't white.

Not long pulled up at 0940 to do the weekly shop on Sunday. I'm at the far end of a store car park which is 98% empty. Green car already parked badly when I arrived. Red car originally pulls up in space to my left and stops. I just glance left, visibly sigh and shake my head at the fact that she's chosen to park next to my car when there's approx 30 empty spaces to my left and a whole nigh on empty car park. She starts here car and moves around the front of my car and about 3 minutes later of to'ing and fro'ing manages to reverse park next to the green one. Theres also about 6 empty spaces to the right of her and about 30 to the left.

Yeah, I'd be squeezing my buggy past that. Just a shame it doesn't have fEdited by zedx19 on Monday 9th May 09:30

Should HAVE, not Should OF. The correct contraction is Should've, where the apostrophe replaces the missing two letters of 'Have' and the the space between the words. Please don't take this as a personal dig, as it's not. Clearly there are many people who fail to grasp some aspects of their native language in it's written form and so many PHers who post in the 'Spelling Police' thread simply mock without making any effort to correct. Whether or not this is of any use to anyone, I don't know, but it's a bit rich for one person to criticise a fault in another without making an effort to correct it. You may not care, it matters not one jot to me, but small errors in written submissions can cloud the opinion of a superior, or even a peer, so I have to at least try... Hackney said:
Morrisons Queensbury by the look of it, I live just down the road.
Deserves a thread all of its own.
Before they put the fences up and shut the top gate, it was even worse - the service road being used as an international coach stop and 1/4 of the carpark full of vans/trailers.Deserves a thread all of its own.
The new Morrisons in Colindale is a bit more civilised.

looks like it was parked both on the pavement and across the cycle lane until someone re-parked it Some of the comments are great.

...and Oh Dear! How VERY council too!
Simple idea. Let's paint short sections of bike lane on this quiet residential dead-end that leads only to a canal towpath. We'll only do it beside the traffic calming 'pillows' as it'll help to keep this area clear so that cyclists aren't having to crash up and down those humps all the time. The rest of the street we'll leave clear for residents to park, despite them having at least two driveway spaces each. It's a sensible compromise, and ought to serve both user groups rather well.
Except the drivers in the area seem to favour parking on or near the restricted areas deliberately, foregoing the clear straight sections just a few yards from their front doors. I hate to say it, but that sort of parking, in her case, has elicited a response from Karma itself. I hope her insurer refuses to pay up too, as she probably lied to them and said it was kept on the drive when the insurance was in the pre-contract proposal stage...
...I'm not advocating random acts of criminal damage, but this sort of "punishment" probably works better than a fixed penalty notice from "Da Man" and members of the local community appear to have administered a form of justice that'll stick better in the memory, and might just get her selfish parking neighbours to have a wee think too. Either that, or it's got jack-all to do with where and how she parks her car, and she's simply upset someone who's then gone to rather extreme lengths to exact retribution.

That's not bad parking - They just need bigger spaces!
It say COMPACT under the pickup truck, which suggests that they made small spaces for small cars. Then Mr Redneck Bell-End parks his Dodge Compensator in one to show how tough he is.
