The BAD PARKING thread
Discussion
Normally I despise this thread. People have picked and complained about cars that have admittedly been parked badly, but to no impact on others - not in the way of anybody, in an empty carpark etc... That sort of parking I don't care about - if it doesn't make it dangerous, or make it impossible for somebody else to park, or difficult to get out of a space, then who cares..
But, with that in mind, I simply had to contribute as the past two at my mother's home have been crackers!!
First was some stupid woman who steamed into the space and missed my car by about 1cm with her front bumper, got straight out and walked off... The back of her car was literally behind my car, although that doesn't really show up that well in the photo, so couldn't even reverse out in the direction I wanted to.
Second was some carpet company t
t - left the car **right** at the very back of the space - when there's about another 7ft he could have used further forward, so it blocked off the entire pavement. I wouldn't mind, but it's a bloody old peoples' home - so they suddenly have to walk an extra 20ft - or 50ft with wheelchairs or zimmer frames (to where the curbs drop) because some fker can't park properly..
So yeah! That's the sort of bad parking I really hate!! (Granted, my Elise isn't parked perfectly straight, but that was due to the car on the other side).

Does that look like a car park ding in progress? Gut feeling is that it probably is!
Kind of sums up parking generally....
And Merry Xmas to one and all (Except the arrogant cow at Majestic and most of the muppets highlighted on here....)

Saw this ad on Rightmove and thought of this thread 
That house might be an absolute stter but I see zero problem parking like that in your own driveway, its not affecting anyone else you're not parked somewhere you're not meant to be or blocking another space etc there.

Wow I've only just noticed it. I thought she missed the car but now I look at it closely and she's made contact! Merry Xmas 
Doesn't look like it is to me - the Corsa next to it looks equally badly parked, so the door will be a good few inches further away from the next parking bay than the front of the car. I reckon it escaped a ding - unless she opened the door a lot wider?It could also explain why she's parked like that - it looks parallel to the Vauxhall to me.
