The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

[Muddle238]

Plenty of spaces in the actual car park? Check.
Parked blocking the only HGV delivery access point to a busy supermarket? Check.
Audi? Check.

Was still there when I finished my shop.

Or the store manager parking there to make sure nobody else blocks the delivery bay

If you were a betting man, I don’t think you’d get good odds on that particular one.

Any indication saying you can't park there, signs etc, just wondering.

Why does it say no entry you can't go anywhere, old signage maybe.

Picking up supplies (beer and pork scratching/bacon flavour fries) from local cash and carry

Entrance/exit is top left of the photo - so they would have had to turn round to be facing the direction they were.

Just noticed the Mercedes with the Bullbar is also straddling 2 bays .... obviously a BOGOF day at the cash and carry.

Can’t make the sign out properly but it looks like it says click and collect. Is that where you collect?

I’m not sure about any specific signage, I’ve never paid much attention to it. It does have the no entry however, which is there to (try and) stop cars going down there to park, given it's closer to the entrance than some parking bays. It’s a fairly new supermarket, only a couple of years old, I imagine the no entry is the same age.

I often see HGVs delivering, the layout of the car park is actually too tight for wagons to do a loop round, once they’ve reversed into the loading bay they drive out the way they came in. This Audi, not only blocking deliveries but if a lorry did arrive, they would then block the access in/out of the car park until the Audi driver had moved their car to a regular parking space like everyone else.

No, there are several click and collect bays to the right, out of shot. They’re all clearly marked, loads of blue paint and signage etc.

Come on seriously have we sunk to such a level of thickos that we need spoon feeding for every single aspect of our lives.

To anyone else other than a moron that is blatantly a loading bay entrance and not a parking space, Jesus I can't believe people are wondering if its a click and collect bay or looking for excuses like faded no entry signs

Most stores have Click and Collect signs in their entrance lobbies or on walls. On that basis people should be parking IN the supermarket or halfway up a wall.

Some of us are just curious.

I love my cars and get as annoyed as the next guy when I return to a door ding. But I always park properly in a space, parking on a line etc is just begging for the wrong sort of attention.

As for the lazy ones, I really have no idea how someone parks like that and says "yep, looks good to me!" I've been known to get back in and straighten the car up sometimes

2cars parking on the white diagonals to go shopping, in a mostly empty car park, e.g an empty spot just 2 places to the left of the front car, and the rear car is also partly blocking the road

Ms Todd doesn't look parked up, as not aligned with the car space in front. So unless a LHD, she is either parked badly herself, or using a phone whilst driving.

Two wrongs don't make a right

The spaces on the opposite side are not aligned
