Mabie the guy owns/rents both spaces?

The second photo is in a different pair of spaces than the first and last.

Yes but what does the HSE Stand for? It might be his company so he parks where he likes?

Oh there's no place for sensible talk such as that in this thread

Some absolute ball bag did this to my car while it was parked up. I don't know what they've hit it with but I'm guessing a caravan or something with a spare tyre on the back as the bumper wasn't damaged. With the car being wrapped and one panel needing respraying then wrapping, and the Porsche badges needing replacing, along with the plastic bit above being cracked, i'm looking at paying 900 euros or so for this one. Obviously no note left, yet again !!! Dicks.

Strictly speaking a double fail for parking in front of a dropped kerb? [reaches for anorak...]

Don't forget that on the options list for premium German marques you can tick "MSoSE" [massive sense of self-entitlement], which is a device that means you can ignore rules that apply to other road users. When surveyed, people who ticked that option confirmed that indicators should be a delete option...

Just couldn't see any reason for this one - the road is more than wide enough to park both sides!

Three steps closer to the house; think of all the time saved, not to mention shoe leather!!

See my comment above about ticking the MSoSE on the options list above!

Standard fit these days, surely ;-)

This is not the crowded car park of a busy dealer, or new cars waiting to be loaded onto a transporter, just a regular office car park.

I was driving at the time, so no photo. But cross road junction with lights, 2 lanes, straight and right. A car with it's hazzards on with no one in it, 2 car lengths away from the lights in the right lane. Must have just been driving and stopped, no attempt to get over to the parking on the side.

you do wonder what goes through people's minds TBH... saw something similar a few years ago in the local station carpark - what sort of fkwit thinks that 3 rows deep is acceptable and then the other sausage-jockeys follow suit

Re the work car park: clearly not enough spaces for the number of employees who drive. At our office every employee who drives is given a tax disc type permit with their registration number and extension number on it, and although inconvenient, generally the system works. There are no alternative parking options available nearby, so some people being blocked in is a necessary evil.

At a public car park like the station mentioned above, then yes, it is world class knobjockery.

Because it's a "bit council" car.

The photo shows a small part of a very large car park with many free spaces. There are supposed to be two rows of cars then a space then 2 more etc. There are markings on the floor, albeit a bit worn. The 2 cars closest to the camera are also impinging on the aisle. It is idiocy

Ah, showing or referring to the free spaces would have been useful. If people are parking like that and there are spaces available, then yes, they're grade 8 on the pink clarinet.

Not the worst on the thread but with that tyre turned out it was way over the lines and into a busy/narrow road. And at the first bay with lots of room in front there really is no excuse!

I would also contact the council, seems fairly obvious why the pavement is cracked, assuming it's a usual abandoned place for idiot drivers.
