Two spaces taken up so I had to take the last space and block it in..... Shame.

We get that sort of parking frequently in our clearly marked customer parking spaces at work, however the people parking there are more often than not, not there to see us but are nipping to the Shell garage shop for something, we are always blocking them in or at least we make it very challenging for them to move on.

A guy did it in his Aston a few months ago, he was out of the car making a phone call, I stood infront of him until he acknowledged me and asked what I wanted, when I asked him if he could move his car, he said he would after his call, I replied asking for it to be moved now, he responded by raising his voice so that everyone filling up with fuel could hear what a knob he was and saying " don't be so fking rude, I'm on the phone"; ironic really considering a) he raised his voice and swore at me and b) he was parked very badly in our clearly marked customer parking, I suggested; in a calm manner, that in actual fact it was him that was rude and to move the car now, he did, after callng me a wker.

Funny thing is, if they park in the bay properly and want to nip to the Shell shop, we are fine with it, as long as they aren't long.

Classic case of "I don't give a fk", not even an attempt to park a bit closer to the wall on the right.

The space is actually tighter than it looks on the photo, yes you can squeeze a small car through, however less confident people will struggle and not even attempt to go through; many decided to reverse back. To the right of where I'm standing taking the shot, is the entrance to a car wash, however with the way that the entrance is angled you can only get into it with an approach from behind the Focus.

You could pay your butler to drive it round and round the block until you needed it again for that!

Probably less chance of it getting damaged, too!

A 2010 A3. It's been like that all morning with only the slightest evidence on the wheelarch of the driver's indiscretion. Judging by the positioning of the front wheels (it's got about a quarter turn of right hand lock on) I fear for the remaining paintwork when it's eventually extracted from the parking bay.

The BMW MINI was critisised for being the same size as a short wheelbase Range Rover. That new one looks like you need an HGV license for it.

I followed an LDV van to my local convenience shop which has a little car park behind. Said LDV looked a bit large for the driver and I was surprised when it pulled into the car park. The van then executed the kind of maneuver (sp) normally reserved for an orange person on TOWIE and carefully reversed into a parked car.

I parked mine (perfectly, natch) and saw the driver of the parked car waiting to get in whilethe van was still backing into the space next to it. I put my hand on his shoulder and said that his car had a new dent done by the reversing van, then went into the shop.

As I was paying the van driver came in and called me a selfish tosser biggrin

Because the ahole cant reverse park, if they could, then reverse in close to the near side, sorted.

I found three mongs have now blocked the same bit of pavement I photo-ed last time.





They are directly opposite the entrance to a primary school as well.
I have to say when I see parking like that I think you should be allowed to walk over the cars. Slightly O/T, but i once saw a London pedestrian get into a black cab, shuffle across and then out of the door on the other side because the f%$^tard driver was blocking a pedestrian crossing when the green man came on - comedy gold.

Remember the one of the car in the states parked alongside a fire hydrant, the firemen smashed both front side windows and ran the hose through to the hydrant.

empty car park, what's the problem. Actually even if it's quite busy where is he meant to park?
