Spotted: Terrible parking examples in & around Stafford

[captainpish]

Ah YPLAC. I regularly contribute to its Twitter feed.

Tesco is the best place to see poor parking. Usually by Audi, BMW and Mercedes drivers but VW drivers are getting as bad.

Audi drivers have been statistically proven to be the worst parkers in the UK.

Its not poor parking, its done on purpose (unless its a female driver) I know a few people who own expensive cars and regularly park in mother and baby spots or in 2 spaces to avoid their prize possessions being dinged by someones door etc. They are open about it. When ive called em c#nts they say " would you pay for the damage all the time" and I say no I wouldnt care, its just four wheels and a seat.

Tesco car park

Do you know what is a fun game? Find the asshole in the audi, beemer or merc who parks like that and park about 1 foot from them. Ive done it loads of times. Also I have kids and when I see some prick in an audi pull into the mother and baby spot I shout to them and embarras them. Usually stuff like " oi luv, youv left your kid in the car" bunch of wankers. Its an absolute sod of a job getting a baby carrier out of a car in a standard spot.

In Ireland, the local supermarket has a disabled space and it was getting a bit abused a few years ago. The local garda decided to put a stop to it, but, rather than just book loads of people until word got around, he simply waited for 'the right person' to park in it and booked her. She spent two days on the telephone telling everybody she knew what a bastard he was for booking her - job done, minimal damage to the public and nobody who shouldn't park there parks in it now....

To be fair they're not actually blocking the path there. It would take a particularly unfulfilled person to find the time to moan about that.

Find the asshole in the audi, beemer or merc

You do sound very bitter about people who drive a nicer car than you do.

Agree

Agreed it always amuses me how some people take so much time worrying and complaining what other people are doing ! If people want to buy Audis BMWs or any other expensive mode of transport good luck to them, earned it, paid for it, mind your own I say!

It's a FOOTpath.

There is absolutely no reason to park there.

I used to own a bmw until the gearbox went and I got rid as it was inly a few years old. Im not bitter at all its just that in my experience the people who take the piss with parking spaces in 90% of cases drive a bmw, merc, audi, range rover and must think that because they have paid more for their 4 wheels and a seat they have the right to park like a twat so as not to get their doors dinged. Wrong.

I think your statement should be more generalised toward drivers who.... Rather than people who drive certain cars, you have absolutely no evidence that this type of behaviour only occurs with BMW merc or audi owners and it is rather single minded of you to single out these car owners! Your opinion maybe that they are all twats but that doesn't make you right.....just ignorant!

I completely agree! But that doesnt mean they have the right to park like a twat because they paid more for their car. Is there some form of pecking order im unaware of whereby the cheapest car on the car park has to be parked strictly equidistance feom the lines and the rules relax accordingly in relation to how much you paid for your car?

Well I can only go from experience and 90% of wank parking I see is by owners of said cars purely down to the fact that its an expensive motor. You dont see 10 year old ford fiestas parking across 2 bays or in mother an baby spots so as not to get a door knocked against it.

There was an study last year which proved that Audi drivers are statistically the worst parking offenders in the UK. Unfortunately I cannot find a link to show you.

Yes but just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it don't happen ! People's parking is all down to the individual so what you are saying is if you owned such a car you wouldn't care if it got damaged by someone in the cheap seats, so you wouldn't care that your insurance goes up every time someone bangs their door into you? Clearly this hasn't happened to you, if someone works their backside off to have nice things they shouldn't take care if it? They shouldn't take precautions against the people who think they are twats for owning such a Car? Parking across two bays yes is wrong the pics I've seen are people who on the end bay spilling into the white lines, where no one else parks. Choosing to park on an end bay and not in the middle, they are basically considering where they park in relation to other drivers and not behaving like a twat as you call them!
