The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

[Mr Snrub]

I don't recognise that car so I assume they're a visitor. Left a note under the wipers, resisted the temptation to duck tape it to the windscreen........

[budgie smuggler]

That really is the height of stupidity and laziness. I would be fking fuming!

[thetapeworm]

Even if I didn't need to go out I'd be tempted to get the trolley jack out to shuffle it along and make some room.

If that was happening to me and I couldn't get in, I'd probably start parking over the neighbours drive until the message got through.

Likewise! Place I lived at years back, neighbours visitor would often park blocking my drive. I returned home one day to find the drive blocked, gf had to park on the street in her old Micra and I had a company car. I moved the Micra to a hairs width from their back bumper and company car in front, impossible for them to get out. Was unfortunate that I didn't hear them knocking at the door for a while. They claimed they didn't see the dropped kerb or drive, but they never blocked it again.

Left about 10:30 last night. Most places in the road have drives but next door doesn't so on street parking is limited. Doesn't help that they have 2 cars, one of which is a complete nail of an Astra that hasn't moved since I've lived here. Ordered a sign to go on the gate, not that I expect anyone to take any notice of it

My neighbour over the road used to have a parking over driveway problem and asked the council to paint white lines.

I think that means that they can then be fined if they do it again.

No fines, it's just advisory.

Technically he was parked, asking for directions.
5 minutes earlier, he was on the piece of road immediately behind me, going under the motorway bridge (at Theale) proving that width restrictions are no subsitute for bhp. I did explain that the width restrictions were there for reason, but he just explained "the machine send him this way"
Lets hope he never goes to Beachy Head.

The marked parking bays end at the traffic lights. They've painted yellow crosshatch lines on the road to stop stupid drivers mistaking the road for more space.

This Audi driver still failed to realise that.

Local Tesco from a while back. 5 spaces!

Sainsbury's Garthdee, Aberdeen. Cars parked OK for a change, but spotted this shopping trolley.

Why is it some lazy fekkers can't put the bloody trolley back, mind you it's a long walk.

Being an internet hard man, I asked someone why they didn't put it back as it was just as far (across the "road" but no cars in the way. His response: "it's someone's job to do that".
