tesco parking Gestapo
Discussion
so I just went to tesco for a few groceries and saw a parking space in the family section and took it, I was driving my shelby which requires more than a standard space for parking. as I got out I was verbally attacked by a crazed woman pushing a stroller.
to use her words "you are disgusting, you can't park there buy a smaller car and don't be so precious over your car"
I didn't want to give her any notice as she was obviously on a crusade of some kind and wouldn't even consider anyone else's opinion. she then screams "I'm going to report you". I kept walking and when I was leaving I see her at the customer service desk. she followed me back to my car and along the a3 until I turned off at tolworth.
I made a note of her liscence plate just in case anything comes from it, but curious to know if this has ever happened to anyone here?

Do you feel that yours was valid, under the circumstances?If a nice, polite, suited chap with a Tesco name badge had quietly pointed out the error of your parking, would he have been similarly labelled and ignored?
Waitrose have wider spaces.
HTH.
Just buy a £10 booster seat from Halfords and install on the passenger seat, get a packet of hula hoops and empty contents on the floor, replace all your CDs with "Mr Tumble sings the hits" and for added effect park at a slightly jaunty angle.
That way, you'll be entitled to park in the family space and can tell aforemention witch to f
k off.

I am not under the impression that my car is more important than others, only that the standard spaces are quite small and when people park so close to you it's impossible to get in the car.

And where is he going to borrow a child to complete the picture ? its parent and child parking,not parent and kiddie seat That way, you'll be entitled to park in the family space and can tell aforemention witch to f

So let me get this right, OP parks in Parent & Child space when there is no child with him, and is surprised when he gets a bking for it (albeit it from a slightly crazy sounding lady)? It's clearly labelled, it's not a Parent & Child Or Person with a large car bay.
I just park at the far end of the car park, it is very rare that someone will park next to you.
Not sure if 4key is being serious, but if you really do that then you are a penis.
