Spotted some CFs in the wild

Went to the garden centre earlier with my toddler, no parent and child parking spaces available...because a pair of childless twats had taken two of the parent and child bays up for their one (1) car.

I asked them (as I schlepped from the far side of the car park to the store) whether they had a child or a disability and they said no to both.

I asked them why they thought it was appropriate to take up 2 bays and their response was that it shouldn't bother me as it was no more convenient to park in this space than any other...which made me ask why they couldn't have parked elsewhere then!

Woman then says she knows what it's like to have kids (toddler was in my arms) as she has 5 kids. I replied that she should know how inconvenient it is to park further away due to someone else's selfishness, then I sauntered off.

No point to this thread really except to raise awareness to any similarly minded twats that you are CFers.

Feel free to add your CF stories below if you want to also raise awareness of what fucks you off and hopefully shame some CFers in the process.

Some people's sense of entitlement knows no bounds.
Manners and consideration of others costs nothing but can't be bought.💐

At least 100m, which isn't far in the grand scheme of things but it's the principle! 😁

It’ll get your steps up (marginally!)

I think that would be far fewer problems if P&C spaces were just abolished. All they cause is arguments and complaints.

First steps towards world peace? 😁

I think there would be far fewer problems if people who parked in P&C spaces when they didn't have a young child with them had their driving licence revoked with immediate effect. I appreciate this is a somewhat extreme view though 😂

I haven't had any really CFers crossing my path recently, but I did get big harumphs from a dog walker this morning when my small on-lead dog barked and lunged at his big off lead dog that decided to barrel up to mine. That's what happens Mr Man when you can't recall your dog.
