Emma on Way to court

[Lanzecki]

Shopping trolleys is fun!

I hate the people who abandon them in the middle of an aisle and then go off shopping

Get your own back by hiding several packets of condoms or several tubes of haemorrhoid cream in the bottom so they are only found at the checkout

If I work out who the owner is I usually move them. I did report an abandoned trolley to the manager once. Poor woman, they emptied half the trolly before she found it.

The lunatics have full control of the asylum. Killed during an argument over a f***ing car parking space....?


FFS - walk away, it's not worth it.

According to BBC news it was a blue badge holder and a non-blue badge guy had taken the space. Also covered a little here:

Too many people are stealing these parking spots from people that need them now

Me too.

Reminds me a bit of my father. He lives in a cul-de-sac and gets very annoyed if anyone uses his driveway to turn round. I think this sort of territorial anxiety is a throwback to caveman days. There is no rational reason for treating such instances as threatening.

My grandfather had one of those chains mounted across his driveway to stop people doing that.

Thing is, the muppet kept driving over it himself.

RIP, Grandpa.

I think its force of habit and sometimes rather sadly judgement from non-disabled drivers.

DM readers are horrid vile people.

The DM is a horrid vile publication and people that take it at face value are a horrid lot... On that I would agree

Or shall we continue to generalise in the way that we are condemning?

Perhaps so that he could leave again at the end of the day?

I see the latest twitter troll who bragged about running a cyclist over on purpose (while she was drunk) has had to do some pretty hefty backpedaling - looks like the police are still interested in her first set of claims:

[QUOTE 2584021, member: 45"]It made no difference.[/quote]Was it wider than the normal spaces though? Most Disabled bays are to allow people to swing car doors fully open for access, or to get frames/chairs up to the side of the car.

..... but if all the non-disabled spaces filled up during the day and an able bodied driver arrived there would be no spaces and he/she would be kicking up a fuss about the disabled driver who wasn't using the disabled space.
I'ts a no win situation for the disabled driver, can't please everyone.

Topic? I thought every post was started with the express intention to get as far off topic as quickly as possible.

I prefer Norwegian formula hand cream.

Vaseline is good if you are putting your hands in water a lot.
