Neither would I if there’d been somewhere more convenient where the bus would fit
The 2 spaces in front of the XC90?

I suppose I couldv'e reversed back over the lane once the car that was there when I pulled in had gone.
But guess what? I parked nice & squarely in a bay anyhow. 🙂
If he ranted at me I’d move it closer, better still if the other car left I’d park close on the drivers side but I’m a bit of a **** like that.
Ahhh sorry mate, put hazards on broken down and stuck here waiting for recovery 3 hrs wait they Rekon. Do you need some butter and a shove?
Well I nipped into Morrisons Starbeck division today - was on the lookout for a white minibus so I could park up real close 😉
No luck, maybe next time...
I drive an ageing toyota avensis which I really don't give a damn about as long as it's fit for the road. The amount of supermarket dings i've received ,had it been a younger car I would be slightly peed off by this stage. On the other hand the benefits of it are that when i see a ck womble double park in a busy car park , I pull my car beside it, to close the gap to what would still be the width of a normal space.
Nothing wrong with your parking. His own fault for parking near to you.

HaHa! Unlikely to see one of ours on a weekend Glenn.
& don't forget to park on both sides! 😉

Aye, if only the bus had no markings on it!
EGF. The guy was a bellend. I’m sure after reading your posts over the years, that you are not.
I had some knobber shouting at me as id blocked him into his parent and child spot with the fire engine on a shout. I'd have moved anyway but he started shouting from the off and was on his own so I made him wait. Twunts everywhere mate

I'll be dropping by during the week as well..... 😉
But if I do spot you I'll buy you a coffee as you sound like a decent guy 🙂
I might pop down to and see how close I can get then kick off.

Just make sure It's me! (pink BB cap with Norway written on the front) 🙂

HaHa! Again, make sure It's me & not the ex football hooligan that drives the buses!
My 4 year old car must have at least 8 dents caused by car park door ****ers. It really does boil my piss.
Oh, and how didn’t you find a place not next to a car in that car park? I’ve never known it full.
Other than that, the bloke is a traditional Harrogate bell end.
What are they going to do, complain you parked near their car? Happens a lot in car parks, unless your boss is a prick I can’t see an issue.
From the way he parked and then kicked off I'd say he's got an old man's fixation about parking. He ought to stay at home and call Ocado.
I had a great one years ago. We stopped at the services on the M5 somewhere. I took the biggest child in for a toilet break and left my wife in the car feeding the baby, both of them in the passenger seat. Came back and there was a car parked next to the passenger side with millimetres to spare. To be clear I'd parked centrally in the bay.
Basically my wife was trapped in the car unless I moved it. Anyway bloke got back and I had a proper go at him asking if he thought that was an acceptable way to park. To get into his driver seat he had to get in through the passenger door and climb over as the drivers drivers side was so close to our door.
Apparently he had to do the reverse to get out, according to my wife. There are some proper Muppets out there.

Noted - off to buy myself a pink hat and a sharpie and hang around in carparks waiting for the offers of free coffees to come flooding in. 🙂

Bloody hell, you can park it next time! Don't forget, It's 7.4 mtrs long & nearly 2 wide not including mirrors so to park 'not next to another vehicle' you need 4 spaces, one either side at the front & one at the back, which is why I always try & park down near Currys cos there's usually more spaces. Plus the lanes aren't suited to long vehicles cos they need a wider swing than a Smart car!
He was a Geordie.
HaHa, LOL @ Mac!
Is he still standing there dribbling and pointing 🤪👌🍆
He’s incompetent, so you have to make adjustments to allow for this.
If you parked first that also means pre emptying that a moron might park next to you.
You can do this by parking across two spaces. Which either prevents him from parking next to you or gives him the space he needs to compensate for his ineptitude.
It’s the modern way innit!
The real question is - how many of us live in bloody Harrogate?
Not me, but my BIL lives near by.
Harrogate?
More than I’d realised, who knew?? 🤣
Work in Harrogate but don’t want to live there!
When I was driving around in my shed anyone parking like that was fair game, I'd park as close as possible.
Muhahaha
Personally I agree that his issue is actually that he's barely parked in a space himself, being right on the line.
In itself I don't feel that warrants mention, but if he's then going to start dissing someone elses' parking then yes, he should park properly .
I once parked square in the middle of a space and returned to find a car parked wonky across the adjacent space and into my space actually touching my rear bumper. Had a look and no damage but it was an impressive bit of incompetence. Plenty of room on both sides as well so no excuse, he was physically in three separate spaces.....
Family farm on Lady Lane...
I back onto the Cycle track to Ripley. Tennyson ave.
I got closer than that to someone in a supermarket car park today , they shot across the back of me as I was reversing into a spot(they were going for the same spot) and now have a monster dent in their offside front wing.
Means I had to spend 2 hours on the phone to insurance and garages and emailing photos that definitely weren't in today's plan. 🙁
" He was a Geordie "
Now if you had said that right at the beginning of the thread I might have taken a different view ..it's common knowledge that we are perfectly entitled to kick off at the slightest thing ..come to any Morrison's car park in the North East...and you will find this kind of argument in 3 or 4 areas of the car park at any given time of day or night ..
Bloody Yorkies...teesh!!
🤣🤣

At least you know who did it.... I found my car with a dent and scrapes down driver and scrapes on the passenger door, which from looking at the angle seems as if someone has hit it with their offside corner either pulling in or reversing out of the next space. Needless to say no note left. I don't however know when done, as it's been in various car parks over the weekend (supermarket, town, DIY, pub...) and chasing down CCTV for them all is a right PITA.
The body shop has confirmed there's no way it could have been 'I didn't notice' as it's been pushed hard enough to dent the sill behind the door, and the door's out of shape so the top corner isn't square any more. So either hard, or at some speed.
That's NCD and excess screwed then.....as it's going down as 'my fault'
Thanks..... hope karma pays a call soon.
lol ! your parked perfectly, he's the one over the white line.
If he'd have just park properly to begin with you would nt be so close !!!
He is a pig parker
I don’t judge if someone is parked that far over, unless I see them do it. For all you know ,when he parked, the car on the other side may have been parked further over ,thus making him park further over. I’ll happily park close to a passenger side of a car if needs be, but I’ll give as much room as I can for a driver. As said above, just need to pull forward a bit for the passenger
This +1 ....
The same goes for when you get back to the car... the initial reaction is why has that turd just blocked me in usually from a distance away.
Sounds like this guy was seething before they arrived at their car and failed to get some perspective.
Not entirely relevant, but I have been known to leave a note apologising for scratching their car but if they hadn't parked so close it might not have happened. usually gets them to waste 5 minutes or so looking for a non-existant scratch

Ooh this is good. But they wi ikely have no memory of how close they parked...
Some people are dicks, BUT, some people have had a really day which affects their behaviour, some people have had close relativesrecently die, are living with cancer, having a really bad time etc. I try to cut people a bit of slack, just in case..................

Which is about 600m from my house 🙂
I'm also a Harrogate dweller, 40+ years. You should have asked the driver if he had need of your services...
Unfortunately there's something in the water that makes too many people believe they have unique rights. Had the police round last night to talk to a neighbour about parking etiquette. She believes the road is her land...
Other bloke is a dildo.
Had some numpty today in Asda. Sat in car with window down waiting for the boss lady and some dipstick parks that close. I said to him, all this bloody carpark and you park that close you can't get out. Just got a grunt as he bounced off his door mirror with his fat gut into my back door. Typical honda jazz owner.
