to have squeezed in when this person parked over 2 spaces

[morefalafel]

Got to the shop to find all the spaces in the small car park gone. Except for one in which was a huge mercedes parked over two spaces. I've got a reasonably small car and managed to squeeze in but it left no room for opening the drivers door on the car parked over two spaces. Checked for disabled badge/evidence of baby etc and found nothing so left my car there. There was easily 3 ft of space on the other side and there arer always plenty of disabled bays that were empty.

A (able bodied) lady arrived back as I was walking off and started screaming "what idiot has parked like that! I cant get into my car now!" I said Me. She told me I'd better bloody move my car now etc or she would hit it on purpose. I said go ahead (I have an ancient polo that is bright purple) it will be your merc covered in purple paint, not mine!

After my shop she had moved the car with no evidence of any hitting.

WIBU? Or was she BU for parking over 2 spaces?

I parked perfectly today. when I came back, a 4x4 had parked next to me, partly into my space and so close that I couldn't open the driver door. I had to get in the passenger side, and in tight skirt, wriggle into the driver's chair, giving myself a knock from the gear stick as i did so and nearly hitting myself in the mouth with my knee. Then I couldn't reach to close the passenger door and had to ask someone to do it for me.

I wish that I had had the courage, once I had got out of the space, to get out and write something in bright red lipstick of an insulting nature across the twonk's windscreen.

I think that before being allowed to buy these stupidly big vehicles (often driven by incompetents they should have to prove that they live up a dirt track, halfway up a mountain and that no other motor will suffice.

When I had my tiny 106 I took great pleasure in doing what the OP did :)

Take some chalk with you and do this.

BTW when I did this to a yellow Hummer my car was keyed. Parked like a cunt, behaved like a cunt.

Maybe somebody had parked over the line in the space next to her, and she'd had to park further over.

where i live the rule tends to be alot of large fancy cars being driven mainly by women who can't drive them and are shite at parking too. mind you, doesn't help that they are usually on their mobiles :)

YANBU. I'd be pleased with that parking too!!

YWNBU OP.

I saw a Smart car taking up two spaces the other day. If you can't park a smart car corectly you shouldn't be allowed to drive. It also apparently powered by fairy dust.

I always get blocked in at the doctors, I drive a mini cooper, lark right in the middle of the space, try climbing over tiny bucket seats, 6 months pregnant with spd

Chipping I'm convinced the majority of drivers in Frimley/Camberley are fuckwitted cunts. Your posts just confirm it all.

Lurked - not me, you or Chipping though - we are great drivers

Newhaw area is no better... parked outside playgym in the spaces allocated for parking and once they were all full, others decided to pack lengthways across the front, thus blocking in the cars parked correctly behind. Fortunately I didn't have a nursery pickup run and toddler wanted to stay... but really, what if I (or anyone else) had needed to get out.

Bracknell is no better either, at the gym the Big Car Drivers seem to ignore the white lines marking the parking spaces. They will park in more than one space, or just dump the car in the roadway making it seem like the parking spaces have grown to include the roadway itself.

Then there is the tailgating, you get on the A322, A30, really any road... why do they feel the need to drive quite so close. I can't go fast (especially uphill), I have a small engine, so takes a while to accelerate. I'm doing 50 and getting faster, so really back off and wait to overtake if you really need to get somewhere that little bit faster.

morefalafel, good on you for sticking up for yourself (and your car).

A link to this site has already been posted on another parking related thread but I deffo think it's worth posting again...

AKiss ^I saw a Smart car taking up two spaces the other day. If you can't park a smart car corectly you shouldn't be allowed to drive. It also apparently powered by fairy dust* Says it all really doesn't it! You can park those things sideways in a space and fit 3 of them in one space!

Lurked - it is getting worse. Honest to god there's rarely a day that goes by when I'm not shaking my head wondering where they got their licence from. ... and yes Nick we are :)

Mind you - we were up north this weekend just gone and there were a lot of fuck muppets up there too. One complete twat overtook me and the car in front (line of traffic in front of that) and had nowhere to go when unsurprisingly a car came in the other direction - over the brow of the hill on a corner - and everyone had to brake to make room for him, which we did with a spec of dust between bumpers - less than a mile on he pulls into a driveway?? Really?? The house wasn't even on fire...

Many years ago on returning to my correctly parked car I couldn't get in it because some wanker had parked like that and due to some mobility problems I couldn't climb from the other side to get in and drive away.

So I phoned autoglass and found out how much a new windscreen for the wankers car would cost brought a heavy motorised can opener thing,wrote a cheque to autoglass for the correct amount and a note saying next time you park like a wanker please leave this attached to car. Wrapped the note and cheque round the can opener and lobbed it through the windscreen.

Very childish but so satisfying (incidentally the car was in a car parking area on private land the land owned by me and had been doing the same parking move for weeks no matter where the people who had permission to park there put their cars)

Madkittens, nice to see Camberley gets a mention on that site (here), guess it's a bit of a hotspot.

Maybe photograph the next one and send it here
