The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]
Discussion

a
hole walked out of the gym, dropped gym bag into boot and then proceeded to walk off towards town. If you're going to occupy a disabled space because you're over protective of your car, at least park it straight and put the blue badge out.
This meathead keeps parking his RS in a disabled bay and not showing a badge, whilst he goes to the gym.
But the other day, all the disabled bays were full and he had to park with all the other Ables.
See, he can do it when he has to.

The OH usually moans about "You taking pictures again, one of these days blah blah blah", today I would like to think it was worth it.
Took this to show how difficult it is to park a BIG car -
Then noticed this
Read nearside, could have been dangerous if not spotted, left a little note on the screen. Feeling good.
Incidentally, baffled by the row of yellow hashed lines on the left, runs the entire length of the parking bays, but it's the only one marked in the whole car park!

I tend to be a little more sympathetic if I haven't seen the car being parked as you don't know if someone was in a van or pickup or similar taking up half of the space before the other car went in.
Good point, but you see so many abandon their cars overhanging the bay behind them. I parked once behind a car well over into my bay, and took a photo just in case he buggered off and some enterprising PH was handy with his camera
Personally when I park with a bay behind me, I always check I am not in to their bay.
Re comment on hashed lines, interesting, will have to enquiry.
Apologies for the crap photo - it may be time to retire the 4s. Or perhaps its owner...
Anyway, I popped to the wine merchant earlier this evening, and parked up in a marked parking bay behind this. Ordinarily, I would nod appreciatively at the discerning choice of a Z4 coupe. However, in this case, I could only assume that the owner made their purchase in a rare moment of lucidity between licking windows and practising breathing through their mouth and walking without scraping their knuckles. How, in the name of all that is holy, unholy, of no recognised religion etc, can anyone be such a slack jawed, drooling spacktard? [at this point we revert to my lousy photo - you can just about see the nice white lines marking out the on street parking. In person they are phenomenally, unbelievably obvious (unlike many road markings here in Cambridge)]

Judging by the other bits of incidental damage around the sidewall it appears that isn't the first time that tyre has either been run flat for a while and / or whacked against the kerb Read nearside, could have been dangerous if not spotted, left a little note on the screen. Feeling good.

could have been flat for some time, reminds me of the time I stopped a woman in a carpark and told her her back nearside wasnt going around, just being pulled along, she said "Is that dangerous", I told her "Yes it is, I suggest you park and call someone out", she said thank you and drove off dragging the wheel with her...........

I can just see someone doing this too - idiotic and unsafe - for her, other road users, and pedestrians when it finally lets go of the rim Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
