    BS.

    some people are just bone idle.
    i think cars should be licensed by weight or dimensions.
    until you’ve proven your capable of parking your TANK, get a smaller car madam.

    auto park is not helping my case.
    just makes people EVEN lazier.

    i can see it now, auto park dumps the car near the space, and the “driver” if you can call them that, washes their hands of it.

    eugh

    No need. Up our way big expensive cars all seem to be owned by handicapped folk judging by where they’ve parked them…

    Yes – My sister lives there, so I’m familiar with the guy who owns the hummer and thinks its o.k to park it on double yellow lines just around the corner from Hooper’s store, blocking other motorists (footballer I think) idiot.

    ram raid, then do a nice gentle shop, courteous and polite to all the staff, take ages to pack your shopping in a nice orderly fashion. Then burn rubber and **** off at 100mph! that’ll confuse ’em!

    Agreed. Plus if you drive a small car, learn to park that between the lines as well, my experience suggests crap drivers can be found in all sizes of cars. My car is enormous and I still manage to get it in straight. It’s not difficult.

    I’m of the opinion that if you park in a disabled space and you’re not disabled, a couple of large men should be on hand to ensure that you are.

    Like the Daily Mash pic !

    I’ll print a few off & slip ’em under the windscreen wipers of ‘offenders’ next time I go & do my weekly supermarket shop….

    I broke my knee a few years back and was on crutches. Admittedly this state was only temporary rather than those who have life long conditions that make it difficult to walk about but in those few mnonths I learned to despise non-handicapped parkers. I got in a lot of arguments during that time.

    The biggest gripe I had was at my son’s football club. The guys who trained the lads would park in the disabled slots because ‘they had to be there early’. That meant we had to park at the school down the road and walk/crutch over a mile to get to the ground. On one wet day I had a nose to nose ‘come on then’ row with the head of the club. What a nasty little character he was.

    Dunno whether we’re just lacking in space in general, or my local council prescribe that all spaces round this way are subtly smaller than elsewhere in the UK, but my Passat Estate (big, but by no means huge) doesn’t fit in many car parking spaces round here! At least one end of the car is always hanging out slightly…

    I manage to park my 5mtr long truck in most parking spaces, but inevitably it overhangs somewhere, sometimes.

    What gets on my tits mostly, is when you have a nice car and don’t want some muppet opening their door into the side of it – you find a half empty car park with hundreds of free spaces, park well away from anyone else and inevitably someone comes and parks directly next to you!

    WHY????

    Happens to me in the van. Park in the middle of a vast empty car park and come back to find someone’s parked right under my wing mirror. Making it limbo time to get in.

    As someone who rarely agrees with your almost incessant moaning STR, I have to completely agree with you on this one. I simply cannot understand the thinking that goes on in the mind of people who that, it’s almost pervy – like the guy who chooses to use the urinal next to you when there are plenty of others to choose from.

    As the owner of an almost 5 metre long car, I would like to know why Micra drivers can’t learn to accelerate beyond 25mph …… or is it as I suspect, that they only do just to wind me up ? ****

    I generally find round here, that the smaller the car, the worse the parking

    Some people shouldn’t have a license

    My car doesn’t fit in parking spaces, it overhangs and only just fits between the lines. I usually head for the empty spaces too far for most people to walk to the supermarket (ie more than 100 metres) and abandon it, in true 4×4 style, across four spaces, or, even better, with one or more wheels in the flowerbed (which no longer support any plant life, having long ago surrendered to a deluge of cigarette butts, empty lager cans, crisp packets, dog wee oh, and of course, 4x4s).

    True though, no matter where I leave her, someone will park their chavmobile RIGHT.NEXT.TO.ME and then their fat chavvy wife and fat chavvy children have to try to wriggle out without hitting my doors.

    Standard parking spaces are for micro cars. Providers are just tight arses who’ll pack as many cars into a smaller space as possible.

    Numpty at the council office will approve the inadequare parking because they are far left wing plonkers with zero sense of pragmatism and are generally resentful and mean spirited (just like Tandem Jeremy – the biggest idiot on stw!)

    Yup, luckily for me Croydon council is now Tory control and they provide parking spaces for posh bastards with big Volvos.

    It’s a shame that left wing plonkers still control Tesco’s parking policy though 😐

    Spongebob – just a tiny weeny bit controversial?

    For the statisticians – is this the first time TJ has been dissed without even having posted on a thread?

    what toss.
    parking spaces have to be a certain size.
    the fact that the manafacturer of your car decided that you dont need to be able to open the doors once your in the space is your problem

    If this fellow were in the UK, and therefore RHD

    thats space on his right is DEFIANTLY big enough for my car 🙂
    Electric auto mirrors: IN
    park car in MIDDLE of the adjoining space

    make the sod climb over his centre console.

    I can’t believe I forgot about this, but having just been out I was reminded of the rules of parking when going to church which are as follows

    1 Park on double yellow lines
    2 If no double yellow lines are available, park all over a busy junction
    3 If there isn’t a suitable junction available, park anywhere else, but at least 1 meter from the kerb
    4 Don’t worry about stuffing up the roads for anyone else, God is on your side

    As aracer suggests, pre-emptive attacks on TJ are indeed very common. They don’t however necessarily stop him. Nor is there any evidence that he doesn’t deserve them.

    A friend (newish Brera) complained about this too.

    Easy says I, because I know if I park next to a really nice car, that there is less chance of them dinging my bodywork.

    I park over two bays sometimes. My car is my property to damage as I chose not strangers opening their doors onto mine or squeezing through with their bags.

    Get over yourself?
