Can we have a parking like a kay en o bee photo thread

[Failingatthemoment]

Heres mine- why??? Just why???

My car is too long for most car parking spaces so it is always over the lines front and back. You're a knob for thinking a car parked a couple of centimetres over the dividing line is knobbish parking, and you're also a knob for spelling knob in such a knobbish way, just to avoid writing 'knob'.

What is with all the weird swearing? We can all swear as we are all grown ups.

Fuck sake no need for the pile on. It is crap parking but I would just get in and pull forward whilst huffing a little

Absolutely nothing wrong with that parking

The severity of the parking knobbery depends upon whether the first car to arrive parked at the far side of an otherwise empty car park safe in the knowledge that no one would get too close to them, then the second car saw the otherwise empty car park with the first car parked all alone at the far side and decided to go and park ridiculously close right behind it just because they are a complete and utter total fuckwit. It's important to know these details before I can decide.

If someone has encroached on the parking bay, I'm using my main concern is whether I could get my car out - if you've got cars parked over the lines back and front, it's not easy to get out.

Surely the knobbishness depends whether this is a supermarket style car park or parallel car parking.

Can't see what's wrong, yes over the line but so slightly. Here they ignore the (very old faded) lines altogether

If I knew I needed access to my boot I would drive into the space rather than reverse. If both cars were parked correctly there could quite possibly be no room to access the boot then either.

I'm glad it wasn't just me!

But why should you have to if you’ve deliberately parked far enough forward to leave room at the back within the marked lines? Shouldn’t have to account for people not keeping within their own spaces.

We live in a terraced street. I'd prefer people to park close together (end to end, parallel parking) than put one car in a space big enough for two. Within reason obviously! But I'm always hearing people complain about tight parking spaces on the street, and it's moaning about nothing. They may need to go back and forth a little to get out, but what with power steering, and many cars now having sensors etc., it really oughtn't to be much of an issue. Or get a smaller car of course.

I was trying to work out who Kay Enobi was ( any relation to Obi Wan?).

Another one who didn’t know the code for knob. Thought it was some mn classics thread I’d missed.
I don’t understand why people try and spell swear words or use * in the middle - if your aim is to make us think it, is that any better than actually typing it?! I wouldn’t have thought so.

Anyway, the parking is only inconsiderate if there’s no space at the front of your car. If that’s the case then it’s the problem of the space not being long enough than the parking being bad.

KNOB! Got it!

I know this is a sensitive subject - but the other thing that bugs me is blue badge parking. I regularly see cars parking, blue badge on the dash, and the only occupant of the car jump out in a sprightly way and rush off to a shop etc.

I know not all disabilities are visible, I know people with ASD etc. are given blue badges, but I can't help feeling there's a lot of people using others' blue badges for their own purposes. Maybe in some cases they are off to collect their disabled relative / neighbour etc. and it's all above board - but the other day we were in Brighton and I saw about 3 cars on yellow lines where a man in his 30s (each time - a different man!) got out with a parcel under his arm or something. I think these people were taking the mickey.

kay en o bee?? I've just spent five minutes trying to figure out what you were on about.
KNOB KNOB KNOB, keyboard not combusted or anything!

YANBU. I don’t want to hear you complain about other peoples parking, unless they’ve caused you a real problem eg you can’t get your wheelchair in or out of the car.

Who made you Lord of Appropriate Parking and Great High Public Shamer of people who disagree with your parking preferences?

The car parking spaces are probably too short for the Tesla - it will also be over the line at the back.

Skim read and thought this was about Jedis

Well that disappointed me 😂

What the fuck. Who spells ‘knob’ out like that?? So weird.

your right. there are no young disabled men in Brighton(must tell the ones I know)

I have a blue badge. Sone wanker keyed my car in Tesco because I don't 'look disabled'. Some days o can walk relatively ok, some days I can barely get around on crutches without a lot of pain. Often I can barely shuffle from one room to another.

I guess on the day my car was keyed, some knob with an attitude like yours thought I must be taking the piss.

Good to know!

My sons a young active disabled man. He also has seizures and doesn’t understand traffic nor is he able to manage too many busy streets but if you saw him getting in or out of a car you might not notice any disability at all.
