Parent & Child parking spaces (in supermarkets!!)

[Manfwood]

Following on from the infamous eating in supermarkets thread thought i would see how you feel about people without kids parking in the designated parents spaces! I had to tell off a couple of (admittedly young) colleagues of mine for parking there to get their lunchtime sarnie. But as i was driving out i saw a woman in a bright red AudiTT (complete with personalised number plate!) sitting there bold as brass on her mobile phone! Also another woman pulled up, clearly with no children on board.

Most people wouldnt park in a disabled spot (as is also illegal) so why do they feel it is OK to park in parents only spot!!

When my fil was in hospital, my mil always used to park in the disabled space to visit him (the disabled badge displayed in the car was his, she is fit and goes to the gym every day). If I was with her I used to be so ashamed of people seeing us, 2 abled bodied people parking in the dedicated bays. I always wanted someone to confront her, that would have been fab, unfortunately noone did. Suppose I could have done, I would now.
