I'm really enjoying people getting wound up on channel 5 😂 I can imagine some of the people on this program are mumsnetters!

I'm looking out for a parking thread I might recognise

Am loving it! I fear schools were designed when less people had to drive to the school. Now so many households have a second parent rushing off to a job after the school run. Awful behaviour from some people.

The spitting woman Shock

Parking seems to invoke some kind of caveman territorial instinct in certain people. It's quite fascinating.

ilovesooty · 08/08/2018 20:20

I had to switch off after thirty seconds. Shock

Ha ha - glad I'm not the only one who's watching this whilst her BP goes through the roof Grin

I'm still stunned there's 6 schools on a dead end road! How many parking threads are we missing out on, where are all the angry parents?!

The woman policing the Parent and Child spaces is annoying me. Maybe it's her goody two shoes voice.

LyndorCake · 08/08/2018 20:30

I was just about to post this!! If that P&C parking woman asked me where "it" is, referring to my child, I'd certainly tell her where to go

The woman who solely goes to car parks to confront those who abuse the family spaces need an award for being the biggest dick head of the UK. I don’t like it when I see people use them spaces without a child in tow, but to literally stand in the car park and wait is ridiculous. I’m going to have to turn it off as she’s really irritating me.

Agree that parent & child parking woman is an idiot with far too much time on her hands. Why don't people just tell her to fuck off?

ellendegeneres · 08/08/2018 20:36

I used my blue badge in a p&c bay the other day when me and my friend were childless and we had one of those goody two shoes types come up to us demanding to know where our child was.

I told her to mind her own fucking business, directed her attention to my wheelchair and my blue badge and she carried on ranting that I should be using the (full) disabled spaces leaving the p&c bays for ‘those who actually deserve them’ 🙄 yup, ok sweetness, now kindly fuck off. Gave me the rage it did.

popcorndiva · 08/08/2018 20:44

Surely she needs 100,000 signatures to get it put forward not 4000

Scrumptiousbears · 08/08/2018 20:48

The parents raging about the parking in P&C bays are the same ones parking outside schools on double yellows.

bostonkremekrazy · 08/08/2018 20:49

the p&c space woman.....'something is going to happen'.....what does she expect to happen exactly? a parent has to park in a normal space shock horror....what does she think parents do when all the p&c spaces are full
Too much time on her hands!

LeftRightCentre · 08/08/2018 20:52

I'd tell P&C woman to get a fucking life. She's annoying as all fuck. Having a kid is not a disability. It's not a safety issue. There need to be more disabled bays, not P&C ones.

mydogishot · 08/08/2018 20:53

P&C woman is the sort of woman I'd love to annoy.

So self righteous, I sometimes park in P&C when BB is full and get moaned at. I tell them to go to security and if they agree, they can tannoy me.

Wonder where she has parked without her child???

GabsAlot · 08/08/2018 21:13

are u all saying shes nothing to do with the shop just turns up and stands there watching?

LeftRightCentre · 08/08/2018 21:18

She's nothing to do with the shop. She just goes and stands there.

popcorndiva · 08/08/2018 21:19

@gabsalot she has a FB group and a campaign against people misusing P and C spaces which she apparently started when she couldn't squeeze into her car when she was 8 months pregnant.

hennaoj · 08/08/2018 21:19

Actually Blue Badge trumps all, it's allowed to park in P&C with a blue badge.

DesignStatement · 08/08/2018 21:22

Grossest person on there was the woman holding one child and with another walking beside her who spat at a person who objected to her blocking their drive. Wonder what her kids will grow up like?

LeftRightCentre · 08/08/2018 21:22

Diddums. However did people live before there were P&C spaces?

Ginmakesitallok · 08/08/2018 21:23

Someone needs to tell her that pregnant women can't use parent and child spaces. If they could then do could I with my big fat chip belly

Hope she was prosecuted for assault. It's assault to spit at someone.

GabsAlot · 08/08/2018 21:24
