Couple of years ago whilst leaving Morrison’s a slammed Audi S3 pulls up into a disabled bay. Usual 5 foot light weight hard man jumps out starts swaggering towards the shop.
Father in law stops him politely gives him the “you know you have accidentally parked in a disabled spot you should probably move it”
Your FIL maybe needs to stop and think sometimes.Father in law stops him politely gives him the “you know you have accidentally parked in a disabled spot you should probably move it”
I was forever doing that in my Kuga (as I'm not an Audi style twunt) then bouncing into the shop.
To pick up the elderly virtual non walkers i used to take shopping or 2 doc/hosp appointments etc.
I bet i looked a right twunt bouncing into the civic Hall as well whilst parked in the disabled bay, if people took the time to wait 5 or 10 mins they'd have seen me with a trail of elderly women and walking frames behind me making there way to my car whilst i carried their shopping.
Sometimes not everything is as it seems.
I’m sure in the same situation you would have simply explained. He would apologise and probably offer to help because he is that kind of guy.

In those scenarios the people in question should have blue badges and as their carer collecting them you are entitled to use them. Not looking for an argument just offering something that might come in useful for you at some point.
I often see apparently healthy looking individuals parking in one of the few and sometimes the last of the disabled spaces having dropped off elderly relatives during hospital visits. Yes there's a blue badge on display but when I've done this I then park elsewhere to leave the space for a disabled driver or those struggling with wheelchairs.Last time a young guy in his 20's immediately popped into the space, well mostly in the space, and strolled off away from the hospital. Meanwhile I end up a 10min walk away.
I think I'm the idiot.

Favourite one ive seen is to cable tie a trolley to the door handle of cars parked like knob heads. Not many people carry penknives or something similar anymore so a tricky situation to get out of potentially. Naturally I would never engage in such activities as I’m a good boy 
Don't give me more psycho ideas. Also no one would notice you doing it - theyd just assume you are scraping a trolley between the cars like everyone else.Dave Hedgehog said:
a dick move but i can understand it as i am currently looking at £900 to fix a dozen car park dents to 3 doors on my car ...
In that case park on the end or over 2 spaces at the back of the car park where nobody cares. Parking like that seriously inconveniences disabled folk. Psycho Warren said:

How does he get away with the Dubai numberpate?
I've skimmed through a few of his recent videos and that same plate has been on the Audi, an M3, an AMG GT and a Velar...So God only knows, it''s probably just swapped around cars so the 'owner' can't be traced or prosectued for traffic offences.

I just don't get how guys like this and who they associate with become so popular by being deliberately obnoxious.
It's simply a mirror of the ethos of much of the UK's population. People see that arrogant obnoxious behavior gets others the attention they crave and the advantages for themselves they believe they are entitled too and think I'll have some of that which causes them to copy and adopt an arrogant and obnoxious manner too That mindset has become deeply ingrained in society and popular culture so therefore seems a perfectly normal and acceptable way to behave to many.
It's a race to the bottom and has become so prevalent that such behaviour can be found practicality anywhere you look in public but is rarely more blatantly obvious than whenever there's cars involved.
There's nothing you can do about it apart from avoiding it wherever possible and of course making absolutely sure you never succumb yourself.
