It happened again yesterday. I was parked on double yellow lines.
I had my hazard lights on, but it wasn't in an irresponsible double yellow line place.
I hadn't yet got out of the car.
A lady and her partner walked hand in hand towards my car, and I thought 'here we go', they were obviously talking about where I had parked and sneering at me.
I thought they clocked the blue badge and timer in the window though.
Whether they did or not, a barrage of abuse and lots of aggressive gesturing followed, swearing etc.
3yr old and 1yr old in the car. 3yr old 'Mummy, why is that lady shouting at you?
This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened.
Perhaps people don't realise that if you have a blue badge, you CAN park on a double yellow line, but have to park sensibly, eg not at the edge of a junction, and not where there are little parallel lines perpendicular to the double yellows.
However, I do think the 3hrs permitted on double yellows is probably excessive.
This is really to raise awareness, less any over zealous parking enforcers Mumsnetters feel the need to shout at people in public.
I probably wasn't bu, but it ruined a lovely day.
