Too right, I am with you on this one, when people learn to open their doors carefully I will park in the lines, totally p@£D off with having to shell out for repairs because some d&%K who couldn't give a crap about his motor or mine whack's his doors against mine and buggers off leaving me with the bill for it. 1200 quid was my last one as they did the front and rear passenger doors. I've worked hard for my stuff all my life and I take care of it so if anyone has an issue with the way I park and they are brave enough to tell me to my face then they get both barrels.

Just park further away from the store then there is no problems at all. I park my SLK55 AMG at our local Asda but well out the way of the great unwashed. Never had any issues

I do the same but doesn't it piss you off when you come back to find some knob has parked next to you no matter how many empty spaces there are? Seems to happen quite regularly and I can never understand why!

I always try to park as far away as possible, in fact my family regularly comment on it. I often come back to the car to find a totally empty corner of the car park with the exception of my car and the prat that parked right next to me. I call them sheeple. It isn’t just car parks that you find them. Go to an empty restaurant pick a table and you can guarantee that the next people to arrive will sit at the next table and proceed to spend the duration of the meal shouting at the others on their table. I even had it whilst camping, set up the tent at the far end of the field, go out and return to find that somebody has pitched their tent so close that my guy rope actually goes under their tent, rest of the field remains empty. The best bit, they were camping with a very young baby.

Once had that on a very empty beach in Minorca. Huge expanse of a golden arc of sand 1/4 mile long. Hardly anyone there. We chose a spot well away from anyone and within 30 mins a family chose to sit 20 feet away. We packed up and moved further away. tts

That's crap about the camping, but as Vipers said a page or two ago, find and end space and park to one side of it. Or shop online.

A Sainsbury's has just opened near me and I notice there's a gap between the spaces like this.

I would like to see all car parks like that but when they’re full people would moan about fewer spaces and park like tw@ts anyway.
Another problem with most car parks is they are laid out based on 1960s car sizes. Cars are much bigger now, for example a VW Polo is now bigger than the original Golf , and you’d probably find the same for nearly all makes.

If you knobheads with your big agriculture 4x4s and your bigger and better cars (than us commoners) can't park in a space properly leave your precious vehicle at home and take a bus.....

Or, go on social media and complain that everyone is calling you totally correct and accurate rude names.

I don’t have an issue with people taking two spaces if they are miles away from the shop entrance in the empty part of the car park, but when people do it in the busy section or if the car parks full and they take up two then they can fk off. When I had my shed I want to park as close as possible to the shop and if I found some one like this I’d just park in the bay anyway an inch from their car. Came back a couple of times to people saying they couldn’t get in their car, learn how to park then as my car is in the middle of my space.

Bad parking and bad gardening isn't a great combo.

I quite agree. And I speak as an owner of a big 4x4, but one which I can miraculously manage to park in one single superkmarket space and still get out of without clouting any of the neighbouring vehicles.

Although, I am still a bit of a knobhead to be fair...

Another example of the houses being built well before multi-car households. I guess there are few options when living in an area like this.

Both of these houses, and most of them on this side of the street, have 2 car driveways with just 1 car parked in them, presumably because they can't be bothered with the hassle of moving one to drive the other.

The houses on the other side are very reliant on street parking though.

One option would be to keep your hedge trimmed so as not to completely block the footpath while still allowing you to destroy the verge I guess.

the story goes that the car was parked illegally on the ground of a farmer.

Wow. I mean I get the whole wanting to push it into the road but that is just something else.

Also properly hits who I presume is the owner with the forks towards the end and knocks him over. I'd be surprised if there isn't criminal charges resulting.

I can’t see that ending well for the farmer but fair play, he only went and did what many of us dream we could with illegally parked/badly parked cars, although it seems quite surreal to see it actually happen.

The chap without a shirt clearly wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed though.
