The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

Do any of you actually say anything to people when you see them parking badly and then get out of the car? I will try a remark like "you're not actually going to leave it like that are you?" unless the guy is much bigger than me!

I once remarked to a rather large lady, using the term loosly I might add, who had parked in a disabled bay at a service station on the M6, did she know it was a disabled bay.

Well she took off like a fekking rocket, asking if I was the duty car parking police, blah blah blah, then again I asked a lady who had parked on DYL's blocking a dropped kerb as well for prams etc if she knew she was blocking a dropped kerb, to which she politely informed me there was any signs saying anything about it, not that she moved, it was the closest point to the shop door, and her pal had nipped in. Oh and there is a car park behind he shop.

These days I doubt if anyone will take any notice what soever if someone tells them they have fekked up or not, although when a lady parked in the ROAD in a car park, I did point out where she had parked and she moved.

Just saw this idiot park across 4 EV bays at Tothill Services. There were plenty of spaces in the long vehicle parking area but that would have involved walking…

how do they not get tickets, I mean ok, someone may suffer from not being able to park 100% aligned, but that is just selfish, what if the other bays are full, and someone stops and needs to fill up on electricity, what do they do then???

I did a double take then - that's the exact same wheels/colour/spec as my Disco!

ETA: Not that I'd ever park it in such a ish manner

Incredible condition, insanely valuable, unbelievably rare cars are sometimes parked like this Golf.

Maybe not used to LHD yet.

Well spotted. I did wonder it would turn out to be one of the few remaining Quad Cam 64-valve Twin Supercharged LHD only but, no. It's a 1.8 petrol.

When you buy a car to compensate for something else and you cannot park it anywhere...





And no...it is not his garage...he even asked me if it was OK to leave the car there...to which I said...of course it is!!!

Fixed that. Of course its the vR12QC64VSc version.

Erm...well this was the closest 'space" to the shop in the garage and the driver was rather (insert your own description here) big boned/rotund/porky etc.

My local petrol station are straight onto the PA when a shopper parks at pump, directing them to the adjacent parking spaces.

The funny part of it is indeed that that's a BEV. Probably the kind that posts "bad parking" pictures of someone who blocks chargers in an ICE.

Classic white Bentley SUV action. Crew that spilled out after this were a band of orange oompa loompas. No visible disabilities, and no blue badge.

Self ticket?

In fairness, there were plenty of spaces.

That wants blocking in.

They have a preferred location to park their car when they visit a neighbour, and if it happens to be occupied then they just abandon it somewhere.

Ha ha that's hilarious

When the bottom of the bed is chest high on you and you can barely peek over the sides, you probably won't be able to load anything into it that you would actually need a truck to carry.

Maybe his wife is a 6'6 trady and he's just borrowed her truck?

I wish mine did that.
There seems to end to the self entitled morons who think any purchase from the garage means they can block a pump.
