You held your iphone 6 Plus the wrong way round.

I think some people need a Janet & John book on how to hold a mobile phone correctly but anyway on to the pics......





many thanks
I think that is the worst bad parking I have ever seen, I would be inclined to take it to the police, maybe a visit to the owner may do some good, then again there are some complete tards around these days.
If I'd seen that I think curiosity would have got the better of me and I would have waited for the miscreant to return so that I could ask them just what thought process it was that led them to think that that was in any way, on any planet, acceptable behaviour.

If they're not disabled then they ought to be.
That is just shocking, he should be charged with criminal damage for that, unfortunately it just shows how little people care now!!
Is he Spanish?

Ok, so the disabled driver in front is blocking part of the parking bay, but that's a common occurrence in pretty much every car park. Plus the car he hit was correctly parked.

That's my black Seat at the end that drives past and I sat there knowing exactly what was going to happen as it was developing.

I parked up just round the corner and walked back. There was no clearly visible damage to the front of the Astra that got reversed in to but the Citroen's occupants had just displayed their disabled badge and disappeared.

In the 5-10 minutes I was in the shop, the Astra had been replaced by another car so the driver couldn't have been that concerned about the damage to wait for the Citroen driver to return.

The car in front could have been a bit more helpful though. Knowing that they needed space at the rear they could have pulled forward a bit more to allow themselves space to work in rather than encroaching on the bay behind. Had the Citroen been a C1 and not a Picasso there would have been less of an issue - not that it excuses the Citroen driver for their actions.

Let me nominate today's tard. A coach took a bunch of Chinese tourists to see Grenfell Tower, if that wasn't bad enough, the coach parks on a junction covering the white diamond on the road.

In today's Daily Mail and may be more. The driver has apparently been suspended. UK coach operator as well.

Of course, just checking you were paying attention. biggrin

Good response from BM coaches.

James Buckingham, operations director at BM Coaches, said: "I would like to apologise most sincerely on behalf of BM Coaches for the insensitive actions of the group we were contracted to supply transportation to."

The company also made a donation to the Grenfell Fund as an apology following the incident on Wednesday.

The extra wide space reserved for vans at our local DIY shack. Didn't know BMW did light commercials. At least he was exactly between the lines.

I dunno, most of them sound like light commercials these days. If I'm in the garage of a daytime and hear a clatter from outside I'm never quite sure if that is my neighbour pulling up in his 320d or a delivery driver in his van. wink

Spotted this idiot today.



I'm sure his excuse was he was "waiting" but abandoned on a corner over hatching, causing everyone to have to swing wide round the corner blind into oncoming traffic.

Hythe used to be a quiet genteel town, now it is just chavvy.

At least they are in the white lines, but a tard nevertheless. Seen a few of those up here in Aberdeen. One did that in a multi story car park, blocked a complete level for hours.

I'm pretty sure parking opposite a junction isn't ok. Either way this is a dodgy one. Usually always packed and already badly sighted.

Students are back so obviously back to bad parking, 2 for 1 on this. Parked on a busy main road, with a university up the top of the hill and a primary school in the middle.

Happens in the car park at Sainsburys in Cambridge with depressing regularity.
