To think this must the the work of a MNer?

Seen on an Audi (child car seat free) parked in a Tesco P&C space...

Thought y'all would appreciate it

The note is entirely arsey. We all get frustrated at times but leaving anonymous notes on cars doesn't solve anything.

Well my mum didn't take me on the bus to get shopping as a fair bit of it came to us - milk delivery, and they'd bring juice and orange too; bread van who also brought cake, fish van. I'm sure there was an ice cream van too but I don't remember!

She didn't have frozen food to get home in a hurray as there was no freezer. She also had plenty of time to prepare meals from scratch as she stayed at home.
So what? Does that mean she had it easier than me, with fewer modern conveniences, or was the pace of life being slower more relaxing all round?

I feel sorry for able-bodied people too inept to use a supermarket without a special space. It really is very pathetic.

I think the term 'selfish cock' refers to a male. The writer probably saw him get of his expensive moatarrr without kids. Although perhaps he treats his car as a baby.

Our local garden centre has just repainted its car park and added 3 P&C spaces at the bottom of the car park - furthest away from the door. I wanted to go in a congratulate them for saving themselves so much hassle.

I feel sorry for people who think it's their right to
become the parking police but haven't got the nerve to leave their name or speak to the person directly.

That too.

I see my post is ambiguous - I'm referring to the note-leaver, and other parents who claim they "need" P&C places.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta - because it would be better somehow to have a direct confrontation and risk a physical altercation?

If the note-writer did not see the occupants of the car, then I'd agree - it is a fairly crap thing to do. However if they did see them and it is, say, a middle-aged male Audi driver on their own (second only in the arsehole car driver stakes to middle-aged male BMW drivers) then leaving a note is a fairly good way of making your point (that what they are doing is selfish and socially unacceptable).

Not at all - but it's nothing to do with them to teach a random person what is 'socially acceptable' - if they have an issue they should have told a staff member. That message was aggressive and anonymous, so I'm guessing it was someone who gives it the big anonymously but wouldn't say anything to someone in person.

And before I'm accused of being the driver - I don't drive

I feel sorry for people so lacking courtesy and manners that they park in places that were specially provided to make things easier for a specific group of people.

It's not to do with people being too "inept" to use an ordinary space but with people who are too entitled, self centred and twattish to leave a space for the people it was intended for.

I would feel the same about someone parking their mini in a hypothetical "large car" space.

We don't know what actually happened, just that some self important twat appointed themselves the car park police. The fact that they didn't fold the note up suggests that they wanted people to see it and be equally self righteous about it!

And you could argue that 'entitled' could describe the snowflake parents or a person with no children or disabilities - just depends on what 'side' you are on

Whose got much time to write that length of note.

Cock themselves

Does anyone think this was an attempt to 'go viral' by someone?

#entitledtodiva

How does this demonstrate that disabled people are 'hated and unwanted'?!

It is irritating when people who don't have kids take the spaces in a full car park where it's hard to find a spot with enough room to open the door fully to get the car seat out, but obviously not annoying enough to justify this. It's just good manners to leave the spaces to facilitate the need that they were designed for.

It's not to do with people being too "inept" to use an ordinary space

Yes it is. Look at any of the many, many, past threads on P&C spaces and see how many parents claim they're unable to use the supermarket if they don't get a P&C space.

I'm sure I'm missing the point entirely, but I've never quite got to grips with P&C spaces as they don't appear to be any wider than normal spaces. Surely it's the width that would be helpful to allow egress with car seats etc and room to maneouver children. As it stands they are just normal width spaces that are a fraction closer to the shop, no?

lady I have never seen a p&c space that doesn't have extra width (usually in the form of yellow zig zags) to enable you to open doors fully and manoeuvre seats etc

How did the world cope without mother and baby parking spaces? Pathetic.

Sorry, 'parent and child' parking spaces.

He highis, what a ridiculous assumption
I don't think my mother has ever been on a bus in her entire life.
We had the groceries delivered as children, by the local very naice grocery store, our daily help took it in and put it away. 😳

You lot are so spoilt.

Back in the day my mother used to cycle down to the International supermarket with me on the back of the bike. One of those fold down chair seats. She was fully loaded coming back I can tell you
