To assume that the driver of this car

...is a man with a veeeeerrrrry small penis?

This car has been in the only pick-up bay for over half an hour, there have been multiple announcements in the shop, and elderly and disabled shoppers have struggled to get to the taxis and cars that pick them up with their shopping.

It won't get dinted by any other car door being opened into it, but who knows what might happen as Auntie June struggles past with her trolley...

See I wouldn't do either of those things either, but I would be much more sympathetic to someone parking in a parent and child space without kids than someone allowing their kids to cause expensive damage to another person's property.

One is a bit entitled and selfish, the other is a small-minded vindictive aresehole.

We can all be a bit selfish at times, but only truly horrible people will have that vindictive streak. Of course that's just my opinion. It's very subjective and we all have a different moral compass.

Do you have a sort of sliding scale of where being selfish becomes punishable by criminal damage or is it black and white?

That's shitty parking..but I hate the way some women have to equate a negative with the size of a man's penis. Can you imagine coming across a thread where blokes are equalling a negative thing a woman has done by the size of her tits.

Why can't taxis pull up behind it for the swathes of disabled and elderly people?

Because there is only one space. The footpath is just out of shot on the left. There is space for one large car to pull up and load a wheelchair from behind. And the twatmobile is in the middle of that space .

Of course I'm not condoning damaging it!

Friday morning is heavingly busy. It really is incredibly selfish, show-off parking.

MNHQ why have you edited out the licence plate? It is publicly available information. The twat parked inconsiderately in a place frequented by the public, inconvenienced members of the public, and has probably been caught on CCTV anyway?

Do you 'protect' every parking twatbadger this way?

OP, tweet the unedited pic, number plate proudly showing to @YPLAC - search You Park Like a Cunt UK for the correct twitter feed. I've uploaded several - it's very cathartic

Both pay the tickets cos they 'literally' a bathe in money.
It needs a fine that reflects their entitled attitude or maybe clamp the car for a week.

SophieLMumsnet · 05/04/2019 17:47

Hi OP,

We do usually edit out license plates that are reported to us - they're identifying, which isn't really what we're about.

How do you know its not a woman with a baggy Fanny?

You don't live anywhere near Chipping Norton, do you?

A woman with a baggy fanny rarely feels the need to overcompensate by driving a thrusting, roaring, utterly ridiculous "look at meeeee" car.

I openly admit that I am mocking a sexist stereotype. Grin

I am a man and would have thought exactly the same, or at least someone unable to form a relationship because they cannot engage in normal conversation.

Anyone want to guess whether this car's driver was a man or a woman? (Yes, it's parked. The driver's in a building across the main road.)

😱😱😱 I won't guess, but that is some appalling parking. It's actually closer to the centre line, than to the kerb!!

mum11970 · 05/04/2019 20:48

Gees, the jealousy over an expensive car. The width of a Lamborghini is bigger than most vans so would be a very tight squeeze in a standard supermarket parking space, if it even fitted in the first place.

Vinorosso74 · 05/04/2019 20:51

Some people irrespective of male or female are wankers when it comes to parking. I saw a white Range Rover parked over 4 spaces yesterday and the owners of two cars on our street see a space big enough for two cars and park in the middle of it rather than going forward or back a bit.
Parking by my parents is awful. 3/4/5 bed houses all with decent sized drives but you can't walk down a bloody pavement anywhere on their estate. Everyone thinks their vehicles and needs trump everyone else's.

HorsewithnoGender · 11/04/2019 09:25

I have never really understood why reg plates get pixelated out.

If I was able to read one in a photo what would/could I do with that information?

Not derailing the topic, just curious.

HorsewithnoGender · 11/04/2019 09:27

Parking by my parents is awful.

You should have a word with them.

Send them on a course?

It’s a beautiful colour! I saw one like that the other day and took a photo for my son. It had a spoiler on it and the output from the engine was so low you felt it before you heard it! I love cars like that, but I do think if you’re worried about it being scratched then park in one of the furthest away spaces and just walk a bit further.
