Well done, Portlethen medical centre.
I'll keep an eye out for your Volvo (if your garage info is correct) and yourself. Then I can pose for the camera, diagonally, across 3 P&C spaces, with a wheel on a verge.... whilst on my roof
dont want to end up here do we now 
I can see why someone with an expensive car takes up two spaces these days - I was parked normally and tucked to one side (next to hatchings) and someone still managed to scrape my car door. Fortunately, it is on a <£500 car so I don't mind too much; just disappointed that someone can be so s
t. If it were on a "P&J" car, I'd have been thoroughly pissed off.

In fairness, "illegally parked" not "badly parked".http://www.reading.gov.uk/parking

Stood behind them in the shop queue today while they deliberated over which scratch cards to buy, maybe when they win, they can get a number plate that spells pleb correctly...
No blue badge, just a sprog and two parents, which counts in lieu of the badge I guess?
I managed to park in a normal bay and without the wife got my toddler across the car park without anybody dying but better use the disabled space next time, just in case.
Where was this? I recognise that numberplate or one very similar to a car that parks on my parents street!No blue badge, just a sprog and two parents, which counts in lieu of the badge I guess?

One of my neighbours a few houses down started construction on their house extension earlier today. As a result this is how two of their contractors decided to "park".
Now the BMW isn't much of an issue, although technically they've narrowed the road at the junction, but the Corsa driver thought how they'd parked was perfectly fine even though it was across the entrance of my drive and blocking the car in my drive in
When I popped over and asked if it could be moved I got the expected "Why, do you need to get out?", followed by "Just come over and ask if you need to get out later and I'll move it then", followed by "Or, why not just use that other car - you know, that blue thing in the road"
How nice - you block my drive, but I'm at fault and should ask your permission if I want to leave my house

Don't even get my started on building contractors, we've had a year of ongoing building works next door.How nice - you block my drive, but I'm at fault and should ask your permission if I want to leave my house
Unfortunately next door need to access their property using our drive, every builder and lacky sees the shared drive as fair game to just dump their vans, cars or lorries. We've had so many bust ups and been on the receiving end of abuse that it is now almost a daily occurrence.
We are also now on scowling terms with our neighbours and have nothing but contempt for them.
Interesting list and includes bad parking - item 3...

The signs say "please" so they don't mean anything. 
Wondering what that area is for?There is also a car park attached to the garage with easy parking for about 10 cars and just in front of where the car is parked there is another space down the side of the building.
But walking for 10 seconds to use the cash machine is asking a bit much I guess.

Yep it's a certain match to the two dead beats who lived with the girls parents across the road from my parents. The bad parking must just follow them around as they did it outside the house too. Then had the audacity to give you the death stare when you pulled up and parked correctly. The Audi isn't the only car the lad drives. He has a L200 which he has difficulty understanding the length and width of too!
Luckily they have now moved out of the parents house and are renting about a mile down the road and I feel for their new neighbours as the concept of parking for either of them is basically abandonment!
Oh and they can expect regular police visits as they use either the Audi or her white Clio for drug delivery!!!
