Just came out of supermarket with 4YO DD in tow, and as I was loading car, chap pulled up and asked me if I was leaving. I said yes, then noticed that he didn't have any kids/car seat (was probably well in 50's), and pointed out to him that it was a parent and child space.

He ignored me and stayed put.

Another woman came along who had at least 1 pre-school child with her and really needed the space, wound down her window and told him it was a parent and child space he was waiting for that he shouldn't be using.

He completely ignored her and stayed put.

I spun out sorting myself out as long as poss but he just waited and eventually pulled into my space as I drove off.

So I pulled up further down the car park, phoned customer services at the store and reported him. I was just not in the mood for that kind of crap, but I do feel a bit pathetic for having done it, even though I know I was in the right in theory.

berniebump I think you'll get more responses if you start a new thread in products. Sorry, I can't help, currently one DC, soon to be 2.

God no you are absolutely reasonable.

It's the sheer shamelessness of the bloke that would have provoked me.

This really annoys me too. A few weeks ago, I pulled into a p&c space, and a woman with no kids pulled into the space next to me (the last one) I said these spaces are for parents with children with them, she said 'I know' and carried on walking, I asked if she had any children with her, she said 'no' and kept walking.
I reported her to customer services.
