Why use one space when three will do!!!!

As god said to Roscoe in Gumball Rally when he looked up into the sky and said “Why me”, god boomed down “Because you’re an ahole”.

This morning in the City (pinched from Reddit). Think this whopper could do with a bit of red bus paint down the side of his car.

People seem scared of parking bays around here at the moment.

Now that's a head scratcher, judging by the dry patch someone probably had to extricate their car from there.

Double parking is quite common in London and places such as Brighton. Normally you know the person/flat owner/car owner and you double park. When eveyone leaves, you get the odd situation of cars seemingly abandoned.

Half on the pavement - check
Opposite a junction - check
Round a blind bend - check

I'll just dump it here while I go to the supermarket (car park behind hedge) - because hazards on

What am I missing on this one? Not on the road, clear of what looks like a cycle lane, parallel to the building...

Just a guess, but:

Parked wholly on and totally blocking the pavement perhaps?

Absolute morons everywhere in my village. Having watched another old lady have to go into the road because or s on pavements I just popped this into the local Facebook group because lots of them seem to be struggling with which bit of the road is for cars:

There's always one that replies "if you don't park like that then how can emergency services get through".

I guess it's outside shops/takeaway rather than residential?
Theres a shop near me where double parking is rife. So what happens now is nobody parks properly in a space cos they know they'll get blocked in, so they double park next to the empty space.

From instagram. Ignore the man walking his cat but this girl parks her car off her drive in the middle of the road because she doesn’t like people using the turning area at the bottom of the road as it’s “hers”

Previously she’s posted the deeds that show her land as being the black driveway and the block paving isn’t part of it.

Knob.

I’d drive over her grass to turn round. Making sure I plough it up as I go!

There was a guy on the odd things your neighbours do thread, who was furious people were doing similar on the same set up of land/turning circle he didn’t own. It was ruining the view he had bought….

You guessed it.

They're usually on the double yellows on the other side too as you can see above but now the road is back open again so it's not ideal.

One near me as well, the grass either side of the pavement runs along the entire length of the road, this egits sticks a gate in the fence and a sign saying this area is my front garden keep off. You can see the white sign on the fence, bet they are glad the council forget it’s their garden when they cut the grass either end

Probably never checked the deeds when she bought and assumed she had an extra parking space.

Ironically, she is happy to pass by everyone else’s driveways on the way to her own, but they mustn’t cross a similar imaginary line.

Hopefully, people will put her right on instagram, or the neighbours will just abandon their car at the border to her separate country for a few weeks and go on holiday.
