Out of interest, is it a one way street, or one side of the road is double yellows? (The road plod is parked in).

Google maps says one way street.

(Yeah I've got nothing better to do)

Outside our son's junior school, on a main road. Some parents don't like me photographing their selfish parking. Tough.

Have you considered passing the pictures on to the head teacher?

Or if local BiB do twitter, send them a link.

I had to squeeze my Passat into the space next to the idiot driving this fugly Chevy HHR because there we no other spaces available.

Assuming you are LHD; I would have reversed in reallly close to them.

He's not LHD, LHD lives in Scotland & sells Land Rovers!

when Imcame out he had gone, making me love king like a muppet.

I'm guessing that was an autocorrect, but it's still excellent

Effing autocorrect, should of course read "making me looking like a muppet", thought I had better post the picture just in case some fellow PH was lurking in the car park . Good spotting by the way.

& yes, I've had the same where the only option was to park badly, come back to car & it's been on its own looking abandoned

I've posted a pic from this corner before.

Different car today.

Again, that's not parked!
Driving a normal car I would probably pull up behind it & expect it to move off

This one has caused a bit of a storm in a Pub car park. The Ferrari owner is not in anyway (physically) disabled:




Back story:




The Pub has since deleted Facebook & Twitter accounts but the Trip Advisor & the like are still live.

Wonder what would have happened if both Disabled bays were full with Disabled badged cars parked in them? Would writer of the Trip Advisor post then complain there were not enough spaces?

People need to get over themselves about marked spaces, If that had been me with my mother I would have simply backed car slightly out of bay, unloaded mother and weelchair then reparked car, honestly, is it that hard? Better still pull up by nearest door or pathway to pub, unload mother then go and park car. If a space is being used does it really matter? The pub has the right to Ban anyone it pleases, if the Landlord 'allegedly' said what he said, fair enough, its his rules in a free house.

Poor parking by Ferrari driver, possibly poor decision by landlord?
But I'd agree.

If they reverse parked would it make it more difficult to load the boot?

Seems Simon Cowells driver parked the roller in a disabled bay in a service station on the M24, and none of then noticed.

tt.

I don't know why he couldn't drop them off & move the car?
AND he parked "nose in"

I just saved your pic on my iPad, turned it cropped it, uploaded to photo bucket etc etc. Think a lot of folk have your problem when using I-phones?

A lot of phones rotate the picture in software before saving so that it always displays "the right way up".

Apple, having actually read the EXIF spec., chose to put meta-data into the image file to tell display software what it should do to get the photo the right way up and so save a few milliseconds photo-processing time so that the camera is ready faster on the phone for the next shot.

Most display software doesn't seem to honour the rotation meta-data, particularly web browsers.

The simple solution, I think, is to always use the iPhone in landscape mode with the button on the right.

Sounds good sound advise. Personally I always carry a small camera with me and use it. Even then I do some cropping on the pad before uploading to photo bucket.

I thought it was home button to the left?
