West Suffolk Hospital car park. It’s busy at the best of times. This doesn’t help.
the problem with these is that he might be partek there cos the previous person next to him was also over the line and effectively forced him to and they have now left. I give the benefit of the doubt in these, unless I see em do it.
I’m all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, as the scenario you describe happens occasionally.


But, if that were the case in the above picture, the passenger side door would 99.9999% be over the line (as nobody would park knowing they would have to climb over the passenger seat to exit their vehicle.

Of course it could be a LHD car, but that is equally as unlikely.

Ive seen some one do just that to two cars who where both parked in the ev charging bays at Ikea Lakeside, the ev driver caused havoc as he parked directly behind both piston powered cars blocking them in, he was also parked in the road way.. The driver who went back to his piston powered car had the right hump as he was going no where. The ev driver was sat a few tables from us enjoying his plate of meatballs and mash and was in no rush to move.
Exactly the right thing to do!
He is just a big a wker as the guy in the charging bay, if he felt his sense of self importance made it ok to block the road way.

It’s also a shame people like him fail to find the same set of balls and apply an equal sense of outrage to someone blocking a disabled bay or parking across two space when the car park is full.
Did you get blocked in?

I don’t park like a wker.

But, I can recognise one easily when I see them make st up.

I was 45 mins into this mornings shift, I'm drenched, 2 car parks had machines the worked for me and not the public! 1 car park with an idiot that thinks it's perfectly OK to stop dead in the middle of a car park to use his phone. I walk onto the next car park to be confronted by this little gem


I wanna go home redface
Cow Lane? Thought it looked familiar!

Erm, yep. Expected to be very busy today, so we could actually do with those 4 spaces for paying customers

Tesco car park on one of the busiest shopping days before Christmas. Car park completely full with people driving around looking for spaces. Then we have this:

Across a pedestrian crossing but they probably get a pass under the circumstances...



No pass here though, long empty drive but just left here next to a busy main road for at least 20 minutes.

So where do they park then? bearing in mind there are railings either side of the crossing.

Really don't see why you posted this one. But then some people will do anything for a cheap point.

You won't get two in there unless the bush is cut back. Blame Tesco for that one.

Some spectacularly inconsiderate parking at an EV charger in Chichester this evening…I needed to park next to it to use the other charger (which was a fast-ish one) and got some very dirty looks from the occupants of the Hyundai. I left them too it and popped over to Aldi to pick up some bits and pieces. Was gone for 25 minutes, and when I returned I had 100 miles more range and they were grumpy. Though when I asked them to get out and an actually look at their parking they were big enough to admit that their parking was poor and they were at least partly to blame for being blocked in. To be fair I think they could have got it out, but am glad they didn’t try biglaugh

Stupid post is stupid.

Let's hope you never need an ambulance.

Rubbish excuse, I reverse park between the lines into spaces like that without issue all the time.
You just let your psssenger out early.

Doubly so not to park like that, this busy time a year when we all know every space counts.

This is the end of my drive - next door parks their people carrier and there is **just** room for a car in front of it. Sometimes there's a Leon and sometimes it's a Fiesta (this Fiesta). Both are some relative of next door.

The kicker is that the car doesn't block the dropped kerb so, technically, it's not obstructing me - I can get the car on the drive, but it drives me absolutely mad. Both drivers always look to make sure they're not blocking my drive too

Insert extended moan here

This Cocksocket,

fk you all, you can walk in a really busy road so I can park where you should be walking.

Loads of non-restricted parking on this and surrounding roads, but, no thanks, this will do nicely as I don't want to walk more that 25 yards from my chav chariot...

There must be a Venn diagram of white Range Rovers and blocked pavements that’s just one big circle.

You could add a 3rd circle of gash butchered number plates too!
