To use p&c parking space

[attheendoftheday]

I set off this morning to Ikea on a quest for yet more toy storage, accompanied by dd2 (4 months). I parked in a p&c space and was accosted by a woman for improper use of the spaces. My crime was that I was putting dd2 in a sling rather than a pram or buggy. She pointed out that there is a picture of a pram in the space.

I didn't move my car, but I'm now wondering whether I've been misunderstanding the p&c etiquette for years. I conceed it is easier to get a baby in a sling than a buggy in a normal space. If it makes a difference, there were plenty of other p&c spaces available, although I took the closest available one to the store.

I'm writing this in the cafe, so I may return to the car to find the carpark avenger has wreaked havoc upon my car.

The most stupid thing I have ever heard regarding asda. So they tell people to use a disabled pay if the p and c are full. That's so wrong. S a parent with a child needs a space more than a disabled person is what they are saying. I think you may be mixed up in that respect. No way can I see a supermarket doing that. To the op a loud fuck off and mind your own business would most likely have done the trick.

Did you also know, in our Asda and think it is a policy of Asda that if you are entitled to a P&C space and there are none available you advised and entitled to use the disabled spaces

I'm with Cravey on this one. Ridiculous.

That woman was being ridiculous.

Does she also tell off blue badge holders in disabled spaces who don't use wheelchairs? That'd be even worse...

Disabled people should use P&C spaces if there are no available disabled spaces but surely Asda shouldn't be advising the opposite. One is a requirement and the other is a courtesy.

As for the OP - the nosy self-appointed car park checking woman was barking.
