This really gets my goat. I watched both drivers pull up, minutes of each other, park and walk off. Completely oblivious to their bellend selfishness. There’s possibly space for two other small cars if these two numpties hadn’t parked like that.

Those who do not park up the line at the end of the bay really irritate me, just selfish dont care, me me me.......

See it so many times in our local village where parking is a premium. On the plus side, the local car park is only £1 for two hours.

Looking after a friends dog at the moment, and took it for a quick walk before I went to work. Unfortunately I was not carrying a full poo bag at this stage on my circular route overwise I might have written "parking tt" in dig st on the front window)

Essex Road, near two of my former locals. (The Queen’s Head and the New Rose) used to live almost next door to the Marquis just down the road.

Only have two EV bays in our local car park, so just because you have an EV obviously thinks it’s OK to park, if you have charged up, bugger off and let somebody else use it, then again it is a beema driver rolleyes

The yellow cable is plugged into the other car.

Just a guess, but is one of the perceived ‘perks’ of ownership for some owners - a dedicated EV Only parking bay?

The charge point isnt showing a green ready light so may be out of service. He may have contacted the provider to have it reset remotely so that he can use it.

Alternatively he may just be a knob.

At the tip earlier. It might not be bad parking. It might be rugged individualism.

And, in his defence, it wasn't busy. These days we have to book an appointment. In the old days you took pot luck; it might be busy, it might not. On one very busy occasion, a user performed an 86 point turn to Park nose first. The refuse was in the back. Very odd. People stood and watched in wonder.

The Marquess Tavern is our local too.

Yeah these people are so thick it’s unbelievable. Always happening where I am (all the streets are resident parking on the ordinary roads, London).

I was looking for an example I’m sure I took near here, and came across the pic below. Who would park like that? Then I realised it was me when I borrowed my mother’s mighty Jazz bowtie

Cant remember why I parked like that or if I moved it forward a bit afterwards.

Doesn't look like Otford Rd Aldi to me.

Although Italy has its own special rules, I think this effort taking both disabled spaces close to the Supermarket door before sauntering into the shop is a worthy contender.

No, south Leeds but I'm fairly sure Aldi churn out the same store designs depending on the plot size so it might look very similar.

One from earlier...

There is no such thing as bad parking in Italy.

Yes, but for charging, not for just parking. Incredibly there are people who think it's for the latter too. A bit like parking at the pump to go to the shop though not buying fuel, instead of using the dedicated parking spaces.

Thought I recognised it too, used to live off Elmore Street further down Essex Road (Cleveland Road) my dad and grandad were regulars at the Marquess on Friday and Saturday nights.
