That blue thing parked on the grass in the background looks worse

Were the designated charging spaces further away from the entrance in this car park?

Or were those spaces already full, and the owner couldn’t handle the thought of having to park like normal people.

nono
A nice safe place to park... until the ride on grass cutter turns up or worse, the petrol strimmer slingshot.

Two cars in one disabled space.



Both of whom were the typical "no fks given" deliveroo/just eat delivery drivers. I suspect thier driving will be as bad as thier parking.

I was going to say similar - not sure why all the focus is on the Audi? They've definitely parked like a muppet and right to be included here, but then it appears that so have the owners of the Audi A3, possibly a Mini Countryman and the Blue Ford (EcoSport?) as they're all using the same walkway area as makeshift parking in the background of the second pic.

Knob head contagion at Oxford train station earlier.

Abit agressive for a minor incursion
Maybe so, but they were the last 2 spots available in what was a very busy and small car park, which made it all the worse.

Golf driver would have seen that as he got out of the drivers door. In his/her opinion it was properly parked in the space.

I would only take 6 secs to get back in, start and straighten it.

More so if you have to use the end space and they have a car park attendant.

Not so much as bad parking but what can you do, Raynes Park near Wimbledon, a lot of folk use their front gardens with a dropped kerb to park, but most cars are bigger than the gardens.

Bit of a headache for those with mobility scooters.

That annoys me. I live in an area where most houses pre-date cars. So quite a few driveways are smaller than the biggest cars as they were put in later. Most people seem to consider this when choosing their cars and parking approach, but occasionally you get some tard who looks at their 4m driveway and thinks "yes I'll buy a 5m long car, I don't need to use that bit of pavement so I don't see why anyone else would"

Usual tards visiting neighbours, all the space on the road, but oh no, I’ll block the path it’s a shorter walk to the front door.

It’s a very quiet road, but there are some neighbours with prams and mobility scooters, how on earth do some people think this is remotely acceptable………..

In the village where I live there’s a bloke parks his 5 series totally blocking the pavement every day. Not fun when it forces you to walk in the road with a 2 year old to get round it.

Been meaning to speak to him if I saw him for a while. Yesterday he was sat in his car when I walked past so I took the opportunity. Perfectly politey asked him to stop blocking the pavement as it caused problems when I had child in her pushchair.

The response “but I have nowhere else to park” Honestly? The bloke lives in a massive detached house with a block of 3 garages at the back. I presume he doesn’t park there because they are in the process of building a huge mansion on the land as well. There’s loads of room to park several cars there but he would rather endanger kids by parking like an absolute helmet.

Local coffee shop. This is a drive through exit, (so one way, not that way) and parked in a waiting for order bay.


Local petrol station. Clear spaces to the left, several more off camera to the right. Better (part) block the edit and crossing then.


Local leisure centre. Car park was extended and existing lines blacked out. People still park on the road into the extension. Sometimes two people do.


Last but by no means least, the local f**kwit. Always parks on this corner, yesterday he stopped a yard away from it though.

He drove off in a bit of a strop. Will see next time I walk up the road if he listened or not.

He was almost correct in his assertion. If his only option was the pavement he certainly doesn't have anywhere to park - the UK is fairly large though...
