Almost normal these days unfortunately. I suspect the new pavement parking fines will be as effective as the mobile phone penalties, unless councils look at them as an income stream.Some of the new estates that have been built are awful for this.
Motherwell. This area is designated for buses, taxis and service vehicles only, and there are two large car parks provided nearby for shoppers. The delivery areas are occupied all day by parked cars; the bus bay ahead to the left is partially blocked by another parked car, hence why the bus has its rear end sticking out. And if all else fails, you can always just stick your Premium German Marque on the pavement.
Thanks to the selfishness/laziness of these people, I had to carry three large, heavy crates, one by one, over 75 yards to my delivery point. No doubt I'll have to do the same next week; my boss has consented to get me a set of wheels, which will help!

couple of points...
1. my car is not precious to me, in fact I couldn't give a fk about it
2. many people (myself included) are not in fact fat retards, but have mobility issues which necessitates opening the door fully to get out
Bearing in mind those two points, from now on, should I see an self absorbed prick taking up two spaces I will park across the two alongside, and throw my door open with carefree abandon. Your car will cushion the force of my door nicely.
I guess from the way you talk you are young. And not fat. Or disabled. Park further away.

If you feel justified in smashing your door into someone elses car because you feel you`re aggrieved I suggest you give up driving.
And as for the prick comment, fk you dhead
As I`ve said, plenty assumptions being made so I`ll leave all you precious bleaters to your little love in.
The only time one of my cars has ever been damaged in a car park was when I squeezed into the last space at a train station, because some cockwomble decided he was special.
That cretinous bean damaged my car out of spite, because I had interfered with his moronic idea.
I park in a public car park every day without taking up two spaces, yet not one of my brand new or performance cars has ever been damaged.
I therefore call bullst on anyone quick to use damage as a justification, because clearly it only happens to those people who park like tts in a regular basis.
When I do see someone casually taking up two spaces they even remind me of those kids at school who got punched in the face a lot for inventing stories about their dads being astronauts and spies.
