The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

My parking with the Passat is only slightly better (I'm just over the line by mm) but this car park is bad enough of an evening without people taking 2 bays. I parked like this to make a point. When I returned to the car after a few hours and the Fiat had a parking ticket!
I did something similar a few years ago at my local leisure centre, they had reversed in really badly, encroaching over into the next parking bay, I drove front ways in next to them and ended up blocking off their passenger side door.I came back, to see the rather large husband pulling forward so that his equally large wife could get in, as she was squeezing herself into their car I plipped the central locking and made it obvious that it was my car, she threw me evils as I waited for them to move on.

If you're going to park like that you need to park closer to the Fiat.Leaving that gap is just asking for a keying from the dribble owner of the 500 that or you'll have a nice parking ding cos they won't be worrying about not hitting your car.

was sitting on a platform at London Bridge Station with some fast food rubbish to dispose of and no bins on sight so I asked an Inspector. His reply? "Just chuck it on the floor sir"
He eventually admitted there was a big wheely bin around the corner but didn't want to tell me in case the cleaners found out he was putting them out of a job!!!
The Wheelie bins are usually locked! There are very few bins at London stations, ainly I believe for security reasons. Best place to find a bin is on a train in the platform, but dont get on to dispose of rubbish as the doors shut!He eventually admitted there was a big wheely bin around the corner but didn't want to tell me in case the cleaners found out he was putting them out of a job!!!

The picking up bay at Sainsburys, Coldhams Lane, Cambridge. Neither car occupied, both there when I went in to do my weekly shop, both still there when I came out.
s
t parking on 2 levels: the actual execution of the parking, and the massively selfish mindset of people who park in the picking up bay.
Apologies for the orientation - laptop doesn't seem to like rotating smartphone photos.

Looks like Tesco is doing something about people abusing P&C and BB spaces.

Not being someone who thinks the world owes him more than the next ordinary person in line, I am neither surprised, nor upset by this news.http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/08/tesco-to-fine-shoppe...

Do I need to say anything?
Pug driver on a fairly empty car park with plenty spaces to my left and also behind but still for some reason parks in the entrance to the car parking meaning cars cannot leave and enter at the same time.

Seems to be par for the course at "pick up" points outside Sainsburys. I think they should take the reg numbers of anyone who's been "parked" there for more than a few minutes, and tannoy "Would the owner of silver Mercedes KW52 GRZ please urgently return to your car as it's currently being towed away by Police"... s
