The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

These really get my piss, park just enough room from the end of the bay to prohibit a decent car to park behind them, especially in short parking bays, with one idiot doing this at each endend, a four parking bay near me ends up as three.

Silly me, don't tell me another Smart car was parked there when they parked, I had overlooked that possibility.

Are we assuming the Smart parked last?

My mate. a number of disabled spaces...

Given the amount of crap a landing helicopter throws up I hope that dealership is prepped for a sandblasting of its precious Stuttgart metal.

Basing my assumption on the amount of cars I see whos drivers have difficulty parking at the end of the parking bay.

Maybe should have said in my post, but the Smart did park last, I was wandering past when it was being parked and waited until the driver had walked round the corner before taking the photo.

Not as good as some on here, though it amused me when I saw it happening. They had herring-bone parking a few years ago but decided to straighten the white lines up to get the cars in at 90 degrees to the road. Unfortunately, nobody told the locals...

Some people believe that they not only own the bit of road outside their house, but also that they can use the pavement as an extension to their off-road parking...



Always the same suspects... you can see from the background of the photo that other people have managed to park quite happily beside the curb.

This goes on all the time where I live. My theory is that some people always park 3 feet from the next car, irrespective of how big a gap they've left at the end. So in that case, I reckon there was a car 3 feet from the front of the Smart when it parked. Perhaps I think too much.

It certainly is.

If I hadn't seen the name in the background I would have thought that was in the opticians car park

Not sure if this is bad parking or just me seeking therapy for something again but I thought I'd share for feedback.

This is where I live currently, my house is to the left behind some trees, it's the end one of a row of town houses, there is a blue Honda parked outside and my car is on the drive.

In the centre of the photo is a house with 2 bins in front of the garage and an empty drive. The 2 residents of this house, a married couple currently have the BMW parked next to my Honda, the Jaguar on the road at the right and the Avensis parked behind it and a car that was on the drive. In the week I moved in they had two cars stolen from the house with keys after a burglary.

There are 4 visitor spaces in the road, 3 are empty.

The people from the house frequently park the Jaguar next to my house where their BMW currently is and just leave it for ages.

I've asked them why they park outside my house and apparently it's because there are no other spaces and because I have CCTV (as do they). I'm told nobody will break into my house to look for keys for these cars as they are "impossible to steal and you have cameras".

Now I've typed all this I feel really petty and in the grand scheme of things my life is unaffected, it just niggles me. Should it?



And a bonus one of some buses parked up:
