...to get p'd off by parent and child parking

[Clockingout]

3 points:

1. Parents with children over, say, 7/8 should not use pc parking
2. Elderly/disabled people should not use pc parking
3. People should not park in pc parking if they are not getting out with their child, i.e. other parent is popping in.
4. Parents should not park in disabled spaces.

Do you, would you ever say anything? I am too wimpy so just complaining on here instead...

YABU!

What are you doing parking? Disabled people are the only ones with any rights to have any opinion on parking or even mention parking, you should fly to the shops!

i really do not care who parks in c&p parking spaces and really can not understand why anyone else does

but it does bother me people using disabled spaces when they do not need to there is a need for them, there is no real need for p&c spaces

I've come up with the solution.

Drive-through supermarkets. Then no-one would need to park in the first place.

This would, of course, disadvantage pedestrians, but you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

drive through supermarkets

I want a drive through lottery/fag counter to keep the rest of the shop clear

Points 1 & 4 yANBU

Point 2 - blue badge holders should have priority

Point 3 - um don't know

I have confronted people misusing the p&c spaces, waste of time. If they are ignorant enough fuckers to park there in the first place, they aren't likely to listen to reason.

Now I assume they are too fucking incompetent to park in a regular space or too large themselves to get out without having "extra" space.

As for being "entitled". If its provided there for parents and children under 7 and I have children in that remit, then yes I feel entitled to use it. Just as I feel entitled to use a changing room with baby change table at pool, when I have my baby with me. And more entitled than a person with no children, or older children

I would love a drive through supermarket. Tesco, take note.

Leave the bastard.

Oops, wrong thread.

What's happening on here today?? All we need is a benefit bashing thread and one moaning about nannies and we'd have a full house...

The frail elderly take precedence over strapping great 10 year olds every time.

I have too many children and therefore can park where I like.

So does my mum.

Anyway, sod the melting children, what about me and my entitlement to a smooth and easy saunter into the supermarket.

Drive-through supermarket trial

Didn't exactly take off, did it

Who gives a shite!

BellaVita doesn't give a shite. She's also entitled to park where she wants. And she does.

Cappy

Can you tell I am in one of those moods?

I do online shopping so I could not give a toss about p&c spaces.

Sometimes I go to the supermarket with my mum, she's 57 and I'm 31 - is it OK for us to park in the P&C spaces?

TheBreadstick I'm 59 and when I go with my Mum and Dad (86 and 94) I do.

I think the Tesco at Pitsea is drive thru!

Order shopping online & go to the drive thru & pick it up!

its like start a fight day today. op yabu.

TheBreadstick yes it is perfectly acceptable. As my mother is quick to point out, it says parent and child. She's the parent and I'm the child. Sometimes we even have one of my children with us too. But not always.

Bella there's a slight hint, yes. But I also have it on good authority that you just park up by the main entrance when you do have to join the minions. I feel that's a sensible way to do it, spesh if it's raining and there are no P&C spots left.

They didn't have p&c spaces when mine were little...sooooooooooooo not fair

P&C spaces are for parents with young children so that they don't scratch the crap out of the car next to them getting the little buggers out of the car. In my opinion they are also for blue badge holders when all the disabled spaces are full or if some idiot's put the disabled spaces further from the shop than the P&C spaces; people with mobility issues who don't have a blue badge; heavily pregnant women who need the extra door opening space; and anyone else with a reason to need the extra space or be closer to the store.

It does annoy me when I see completely able bodies people with no children using them because I don't see what possible reason they can have not to just park further away and walk except that they're selfish and lazy. Prior to developing walking difficulties I'd never have dreamed of taking a P&C space because I was perfectly able to park further away and walk so I left the spaces for people who's lives were made easier by them. I really don't understand why you'd take the space if you didn't have genuine need of it, are people really that self centred?
