When I get my shed, if I see that one, I'm parking an inch from his door.

Has he tinted the headlights ha ha

That doesn't surprise me in Spalding. Plus, that car park is fking awful. Still, no excuse to take up four spaces to go to Halfords.

Also, the Spotted: Spalding Facebook group is quite something If you want a laugh.

Nothing surprises me here.

There is a throbber with a similar car around here too who likes driving like an absolute tit. Someone told him off once and his mum went round the next day to tell them off, for telling him off. She said it isn't fair as her son keeps getting told off by people.

Possibly not bad...but certainly innovative

Maybe there were two, near me two manage to park in one bay, one rear to front of the other.

The sign behind asks people not to park there, this particular car has an allocated space next to the black van, it's empty.

Same woman who has history for parking outside the school 5 minutes (slow) walk away with the car on the pavement, on zig zags and in a bus stop (all at the same time).

Role model for morons.

And the luggage rack right behind!

I suspect that is the "empty designated space" the OP was referring to.

Correct. You are right and I am dense. ( Mrs. NS will agree with that.)

So you are that A******w Sh*w, the 'Seat Stealer of Pistonheads' fame?

This is the parking space outside my house. The brown Micra is not ours, nor a neighbours and has been there for 3 days. It would appear however that they left the handbrake off and a barely noticeable incline has caused it to roll backwards such that I can get onto my driveway again.

Has it by any chance rolled far enough back to be over part of the H-bar marking to the right?

Now this is proper bad parking. How anyone can think that this is acceptable is beyond me.

I know that I am parked bad too but I want to explain:

When I park within the bay, that van or a Land Rover always park on the single yellow, inches away from my bumper so they're not hanging off the bend, the marked bay is quite small so if the middle car isn't perfectly in alignment between the 2 cars it can often be impossible to get out. Once I had to go and knock on doors at 11.30 at night when someone parked on the end blocking me in.

I didn't want that to happen this time so I parked half out the bay (there's no restrictions at this time of night) knowing that nobody would be dumb enough to park in front and if they did I would have enough space to reverse back and get out easier. Lucky I did because once again the van man parked in front.

There is no grass! (or is that a parrott point.)

[stewjohnst]

Expertly parked forward enough for the nose to also take out a further two spaces.

[stewjohnst]

One for the st plates thread too but it was also parked across four bays.

In their defence, you can just about make out in the photo the driver appears to be on the young side...
