The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

Good post, Yellowjack.

It seriously yanks my chain when people regard pavements and verges as acceptable places to park. On our street we now have bollards in the verges thanks to the retards who were dedicated to making them look like Paschendaele.

I avoid stopping or parking anywhere that may cause trouble. Don't need the headache. Simples.

Odd, loads of parking spaces.

Probably done it to prevent Doris in her scruffy Yaris parking up alongside and scraping it. Sod's law says you can be the only car in a car park, but some useless fly-catching mouth breather will come along and feel that they need to park right next to you.

I was dropping a hire van back a few months ago, car park with loads of spaces, just as I'm about to get out some prick in an A-class swings in right next to me. I make a point of starting up, moving the van one space along and giving the thick chav the biggest glare. In hindsight probably could have just doored his car, make him think twice about parking up against other vehicles unnecessarily.

Some people can't park without having a car to line up with. And so they shouldn't really be in charge of a 1.5t moving object.

Saw a lovely Ferrari California T last week, two years old, about £155k neatly parked in the space designated for a car, often see a roller and a bently as well, they dont seem to have any problem conforming, so your comment may be right. The car park the porker was in was and always is, almost empty,

From FixMyStreet today: Observed at 8.45am parked almost opposite Trafalgar Junior School entrance in Third Cross Road, Twickenham. Car completely blocking pavement; children and parents with pushchairs & buggies forced on to very busy road to get by. There is no pavement parking along this stretch of the road!

What goes through the mind of someone who does that ?

They don't care!
Every school every day sadly.
Lack of enforcement, pure and simple.

There was a Range Rover Sport had done similar near us the other day,t here is a very small dress shop, discrete, very expensive, she was parked for that, there were pedestrians walking into the road to get past, and it isnt a jealousy thing for me, dont care what car it is, it is all about respect for your fellow man and parking like that is a big two fingers to everyone else, like littering, parking in disabled spots and all the other low level anti social behavior.

Its that mentality I hate, the "I am special, doesn't apply to me" attitude, you dont "win" by acting like that, you have lost as everybody thinks you are a .

Every fking time. I can park right in the far corner of a supermarket car park, not a single car for hundreds of spaces around me, yet when I come back there will be some cünt will be parked right next to me. The 'needing another car to line up against' really doesn't wash as there are usually plenty of spaces closer to the shop as well - this dickwipe has made a conscious decision to park right up next to the car.

SPot on experience - totally get what you wrote - tnucs!

Now this is disgraceful. They've left this parked on the pavement for weeks now

Makes a great excuse for parking like that ^^ too, if you ever get challenged.

I see no problem with that! Nice car, in a 'sort of' marked out space...

Presumably 1556 refers to your DOB when there were no cars to badly park only horses and carts.

[Jim1556]

Actually, we used to thrash people who didn't reverse park their horse & cart. Not tying them up properly was a day in the stocks!

Here's one example of well executed defensive parking, at Sainsbury's Calcot. This is about as far from the main store as you can get, and on a not-very busy Saturday morning, this driver clearly felt there was still a risk of being doored by some mumsy MPV.

if the car park is empty, why park like that when there is no one else to bump into your car unless you are a selfish idiot?

Because of the previously mentioned tendency for morons to park next to another car even if the carpark is otherwise empty

It's a tttish way to park done by tttish tts. If you're that precious about your fking car, don't take it to public parking spaces. 4 spaces that bell end is taking up there. Not 1, like normal people, 4, so because his Datsun is so important, 3 other people won't beable to park if is gets busy before he/she removes there useless, selfish carcase from the area.

Car parks should be made to have a 30 tonne rubber duck to push cars like that in between the lines like everyone else manages with bucket.

There is no, repeat no, excuse.

[BertieWooster]

Car park here at Hagebaumarkt is packed but the driver of the Skoda decided that they were entitled to two spaces regardless.

The Focus estate is just inside the line so there was still room for the Skoda driver to move over or use the space right next to the green Mitsubishi.

If I was having to manoeuvre a buggy round that I would be making sure something sharp made contact with the paintwork as I went past.

Then you are a . A right fking .

No excuse for bad parking or for vandalism
