to challenge people parking in parent and child spaces

[bb99]

When they clearly have no children with them, or are heavily pregnant, or have a disabled badge (as the disabled spaces are full cos lazy useless able bodied people have parked in them) or are clearly elderly and infirm!

All those exceptions aside, AIBU to ask people if they've forgotten their children and left them at home alone / in the store?

the BOD = TWENTY SOMETHING SINGLE MAN WITH NO CHILDREN

AM I BEING UNREASONABLE? fuck off - i've never seen you make a usefull comment - you just seem to like to stir the shit pot

Back to the original question. No you're not being unreasonable. I like the P & T spaces as you get more room to get the kids in and out of the car seat. Which would be a bitch if some arsewipe parked right next to you in a normal space, although their fault if their nice spanking new BMW gets whacked by my car door. When I park in a normal space, I always make sure theres more room on the left side of the car (the side where the car seat is), to get Tom in/out. But you always get some knob who parks right up to you. Same with parking right up your bum and having no room to get buggy/shopping in/out of car.

Our local Morrisons you have to cross a Zebra crossing to get to the store from those spaces and theres some drivers who don't even give way, the numpties. The spaces should only be for those with toddlers, IMHO.

To the original post, bb99, I could kiss you. Wish I had the guts to do that.

theBOD - we don't say 'handicapped' anymore. Just why would a single bloke want to hang out on mumsnet. Isn't the title a giveaway?
Actually, I find it creepy. If a single bloke was hanging out at toddlers or the children's park I would be all hmm

you might not say handicapped anymore but my dad refers to himself as such so that's good enough for me.

theBOD cannot actually be a man. Men aren't this subnormal, are they? I like to think I'm not. But maybe I am. Jesus. I must end it all now if this is unvarnished maleness.

no theBOD is not a man - he's a BOY

I challenged someone last week who'd parked in the last available P&T space and didn't have a child in her car.
She explained that her mother (in the car with her) was disabled.
BUT there were plenty of disabled spaces free and they were actually nearer the store than the P&T one.
Obviously I said nothing more but still didn't understand it.

Why would a boy/man with no kids want to post on a parenting website? Freak.

IIRC, theBOD is 22, or so he said on another thread. I didn't realise he was a childless male. I've found him to be very immature on another thread.
Why are you here, theBOD?

he likes a row and just chips in with outrageous comments to see if we bite - GGGGGRRRRR

there seems to be a spate of childless blokes posting on mumsnet.
If a childless bloke was hanging round a children's playgrounds we'd be saying
