The BAD PARKING thread
Discussion
We share our office building with a law firm. They have a cleaner, who turns up at about half 5 or so every day and dumps her car in a number of our spaces. Not always the same spaces but always more than one, and never in her employers section. She once claimed she doesn't straighten the car up because she can't afford the fuel. She is entirely unapologetic.
That's me in what's left of my space on the left. This is a fairly mild example. With the odd layout of our spaces she once managed to take up five at once.

You go and spend (probably over) £150,000 on a car and it's not surprising you want to take care of it like that.

(oh, and if you're gunna tell me that if they can afford that car etc etc etc, p
s off!

Those of you who've met me will know I'm not the slimmest of blokes. Tonight, upon returning to my vehicle at the station car park, I was astounded to see a car parked up so tight to mine (I was centered in my bay) that I couldn't get the door open more than about a foot. NOT enough for me to get in through, suffice to say. The curious thing was, this guy was so far over and offside-to-offside, he MUST have known he was causing me a problem when he parked. I'm gonna be properly narked if there's damage to mine from his door (it was too dark tonight to see anything).
I left a sarcastic note under his windscreen along the lines of "You park like a." Actually no, that was it exactly.

I've always found letting down tyres is childish yet satisfying
Also if someone blocking entrance to a private road and don't answer the door to millions of neighbours OR the police they tend to miraculously appear when their tyres start to go flat.
Bloody magic!

My drive got continually blocked recently by some arse piece in a stty white van. Last Thursday I'd had enough so I waited for sphyncter boy to return. I asked him politely to try not to park there again as it makes it impossible for me to get out should I need to. He told me "fk off you it's a free country". The next day he did it again, unfortunately for him, the Wheel balancing weight/windscreen wiper fairy paid him a visit whilst he was gone. Also I think he may have forgotton to put his handbrake on, which is a bit of stupid thing to do on a hill with a deep ditch at the bottom of it.

Good work
3. I would be concerned as he knows where you live and this could escalate badly
4. Good work
5. I'd like more details on the ditch and the state of the van at the end of the story
6. Good work

I spent 14 months rebuilding my XK8 and managed to clock up 2 dings in Tesco's within a week 
My wife decided I should park it in two bays one day and some thunderc*nt gave us hassle until my wife got out by opening the door VERY wide and getting her small frame out with her 8 months pregnant belly and asked how else would she manage to exit in such small parking spaces?
Get a smaller car came the sarcastic reply!
Quick as a flash my wife said, "Why the fu*k should we, we are loaded!"
I could barely stand, ironic thing is she hates my beautiful Jaguar, but it was pure class
Another day, some weegee tosser swore at me because he had blocked in my Jaguar by parking ON A JUNCTION, WHILE HIS CHILD WAS IN THE CAR!!!!!!!
I was in a single space with a railing at the front and went to get my insulin prescription.
When I returned, this exceptional Ned had abandoned his car, but came back as I was about to take a pic of his sheddy Mondeo. He started giving ME abuse and made to come and hit me, so I suggested he do so, but he better make it count!
He drove off.
Arse!

And they are full of Invernesians who seriously cannot drive/park/see/walk properly/obey the 10mph limit/indicate....ect!
I think some of these bad parking examples are a sad indication of the sloppy nature of the country. I don't know how they can just walk away and leave the cars abandoned like that - more than once I've parked up, got out the car and then realised i've made a pils of it, and had to unlock and get back in to sort my positioning out. These sloppy Parkers must just draw to a halt where they feel like and think "stuff it, that's close enough for me"?
Perhaps they are right and I'm wrong, maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist?

Oops - yes - same place, missed that. This did the rounds at the time internally - gear was left in first when trying to leave I guess.

A mate of mine had gone to the hospital to pick up his wife and new born.
He parked up, went to the shops nearby (as he was early), he chucked everything in the car when he got back and noticed a note on the windscreen saying see security about the damage to your car.
He then looked and saw that the other side of the car was scraped to buggery. He went to the security booth and the bloke got out a picture of a 307SW between his car and another car (parked right next to him in the next bay) on its side.
Turns out the woman in the 307 had put it in first instead of reverse (or other way round cant remember) and floored it over a small grassy ramp and landed in between the two cars.

I wouldn't go as far as damaging someone else's car - you never mess with another man's motor, no matter how much of a turd they are - but I like to think my note sufficed in conveying my displeasure at the situation. I'd even parked at the far end of the car park with plenty of spaces around me!I've always found letting down tyres is childish yet satisfying
