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.

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

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"Bit of a headache for those with mobility scooters.
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.

Did he flat refuse then?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.

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. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
