The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

The driver was a gorilla whose resting face was, 'Wot you lookin at?'

Wrong.

Plug in or fk off.

I may have been known to write a note to that effect and place it on such a car.

Being inquisitive, I bothered to read up on the board next to the ticket machine, it clearly states Parking Contraventions, and a link to an Aberdeenshire countil order 2019, which no one reads, but you cant wriggle out of it if you get a ticket, it states -

An electric vehicle may only be left in a space reserved for such vlehicles during the period taken to charge the vehicles.

I dare say most council car parks say much the same, pity I have never ever seen a warden in Stonehaven in all the years I have lived near by.

Nah, better park right on the junction.

I got a telling off once for parking on someones drive we were dropping some things off to. The road was very narrow and nowhere else to park unless I wanted to cause obstruction - just ignored her, dropped the things off and left...

I wonder if similar has happened here?

I wonder if things are exactly what they seem.

The person driving the car in the picture would have been an even bigger knob, if they had also parked across the driveway, EVEN IF they had an alien call Bob from Titan, in the back seat, who just so happened to be wearing one pink and one green sock on that day.

But, we do so much enjoy how you like to invent imaginative excuses for every new scenario that occurs.

Said neighbour is just a selfish inconsiderate person.
Last weekend - after at least 3.5 yrs - they cut their front hedge, four feet high nettles and all.
Come bin day they dumped the lot in black bin bags by the bin. Needless to say they haven’t paid for a garden waste bin, and I think collection is bi-weekly (not that week) anyway.

I have considered (rising above it all and) offering to out their waste in my garden bin, but it’s too full to accommodate.

Maybe the guy wasn't that friendly to you, but judging from ONLY the picture you uploaded here, it seems that the guy didn't realy have much of a choice (unless this was in a service station....? where there would be parking for larger vehicles...).

What should he have done..?

[Tindersticks]

I’d bet he could have parked lengthways along two spaces no?

Why is there always someone defending rubbish parking? Every photo seems to be followed by a poster defending the actions of others.

Defending... or trying to understand others actions?

[gazza285]

Loads of room to park, but instead let’s double park and block both pavements.

[Blib]

That's a terrific effort.

Clearly they are triggered, because it’s too close to home (not in a geographical sense).

As mentioned already, the guy could have parked across any of the two empty tandem spaces in the background, but I’m guessing that would be too far away from the entrance for his fat arse to move.

It’s a shame someone didn’t inconvenience him for a change by knicking one of his tyre straps.

Right or wrong, EV parked in one of two EV parking bays in town square car park, not plugged in.

It does say EV parking, no mention of only if you are going to charge, taking the piss in my mind .

Back when the first bays were put in, I remember one of my ex-work colleagues gleefully telling everyone that one of the benefits of ownership was a dedicated parking space.

I honestly would not be surprised if he didn’t do the same, as he was exactly the sort of person to step over someone to get ahead.
