Inconsiderate parking.

[gavroche]

Whilst waiting upstairs at the doctor's surgery earlier today, I passed the time by watching people park their cars. Two cars came along . There was room to park two vehicles between two cars as the space was quite wide. So, what did those two motorists do? Yes, you guessed it, they parked bang in the middle so that no one else could go. That's what I call inconsiderate parking.

And oddly enough if you park in the middle of a deserted car park, you will come back to find some twat has parked so close to you you can't get the door open even though there are fifty empty spaces

Am I reading this wrong then? There was space for two cars to park, and two cars came along and parked in the space available ... for two cars!

My BMW needs extra space around the outside for it's aura of awesomeness. It's also to help keep the grubbiness of cheaper cars away from it.

Of course, I meant in two different places, I thought that was obvious.

I feel your pain

Some Oik parked their BMW far too close to my Audi

I have an Audi too. The BMW is better.

I feel all cars should be made to park in spaces too small for those inside to get out, without of course denting the doors of cars either side.

When I was on crutches after my hip replacement someone parked close to the driver's side of my car, despite it being in a disabled bay.

No way of me getting in without a near fully opened door, and no chance of entering from the other side and clambering over the gear stick.

I wasn't keen on waiting, not least because spending a long time propped up on crutches was also a problem.

Asking a passer-by to reverse my car out of the space seemed the best, if not a little risky, solution.

It was in Catterick Garrison in north Yorkshire, and the passer-by I picked on had an army look about him, which gave me some reassurance.

Sure enough, he didn't need asking twice and reversed my car carefully out of the space.

I wonder what my insurance company would have said had I chosen unwisely, and the car was stolen in those circumstances.

Revenge is sweet

In Fareham we use a disabled parking space, but then have to take the wheelchair a few yards alomg the road to mount a dropped Kerberos accessing the pavement

Large 4x4 sat In the other disabled space, blocking the dropped keen

When asked to move the reply was that they would only be a few minutes, and we should go further up the road to access the pavement

For once - a Traffic Warden when you need one

Waved him over and asked if he could help.... He did

One ticket issued and they had to move as well

Many years ago we were out with the Field Gun Crew who had a better solution..... They lifted the offending car and left in in the middle of the road!
