Pinched from a group on Facebook, thought the plate might also trigger a few.

Lightwater earlier today. A care home worker parked up (yes, the white fiesta) to go round the corner to their place of work.

[zedx19]

These care workers seem unable to drive, there's 1 that comes near ours, parks badly at the end of the road, then sits there all day in the car with the engine running, before popping off for an hour, then coming back, sitting in the car for hours then driving off. This has been going on for weeks and I don't get it, why they sit in their badly parked car all day, everyday. Cars usually miles from the kerb, or at an angle with 1 wheel on the kerb, all other wheels on the road.

Nothing to do with parking but passed this up town earlier

Collecting the kids from movie night at school, spotted this
Didn’t notice at the time but the silver van is probably blocking the pavement too.

Yesterday, I was in a waitrose carpark, only space I could find was very tight, especially with my Astra GTC. Doors are long.

I reversed in next to 2 cars that had driven in forward.

I said to my wife. Wait, I'll hold your door so it doesn't bash against the other car.

As I stood, holding the door, the back of my hand against the door handle of the mondeo next to us, the driver got in without a word, started the engine and started moving off.

Anyone else would surely have said "Wait a moment, I'll make a bit more space for you"

So not bad parking, just odd.

I did note that with the door fully open, it took up 60% of the space he'd just left. If ever there was a car where "Lambo" doors would be more practical it's the astra GTC. Even if it would make you look like a dick.

Not having a go, just interested why you didn't let the wife out before you parked up?

It is something we have always done, if the space is tight, the wife gets out, then I park up.

The volume of traffic in Waitrose carpark behind me. Plus I had a child in the back, my niece who has challenging and unpredictable behaviour at times. But often i have done this.

This would suit another thread aswell...

Left it there while they went in McDonald's.
Plenty of better spaces on access roads to retail park next to it.

Special parking in the gym car park this afternoon. I didn’t think it was even possible to make a small hatch out encroach 3 bays?

They're certainly making a statement

People who park in disabled bays with no right, are what spit and sharp keys were invented for!

I know it shouldn't get to me. But it absolutely boils my piss!

[Hackney]

Unfathomable.
Two car (one behind the other) drive, no other cars present. I was so f**ked off I walked the dog in front of the car and across the front garden.


And on the way back they’d brought in pavement blocking reinforcements.

If I met the driver, I'd be calling him Roy-bert all the time just to annoy him. And when he corrects me that it's Robert, I'd still call him Roy-bert.

Owned by a pair of friendly fellas?
Roy and Bert?

M&S, resplendent with wanchor plate

The (very elderly) driver owns the worlds largest online rugby supplier, hence the plate and the preference for M&S.
