Inconsiderate Parking!!!

[andrewparker]

I sometimes think that cars are all that matter to people round here. Rationality goes out the window when a loved one is hurt or in pain. Surely you can all understand that?

Maybe it was Russ swift?

I can see it from both sides.

If you are rushing a member of your family or a friend to hospital I don't really think it would cross the average person's mind how they park when they pull to the A&E.
At the same time you still need to be considerate to others and the extra 10 seconds it takes to park relatively straight, or at least leaving the car next to you with access to it's door - unless having a heart attack or something - is very unlikely to cause any long-term problems (trust me, I am a Doctor on another forum).

Now moving on from this I see a lot of people who are almost condoning violent act towards other people's cars - kicking them, keying them, damage which costs £hundreds to repair.
I've had my car keyed. I was parked on my Mums driveway in a nice area. Let me tell you, it's not nice, and the £450 (and that's mates rates, would have cost me around £750 at a regular bodyshop) and 3 days without my car that it cost me, was not fun either.

No-one has the right to damage anyone elses property. If you feel that strongly about someone's parking - wait it out and confront the person, or leave a note with a contact number. By damaging someone elses car you are in my eyes, worse than the person who's parked inconsiderately. It's unlikely when parking they have purposefully gone out of the way to make your life hard. By vandalising someone's car you are KNOWINGLY, and without any care or respect whatsoever, damaging someone's car costing them HUNDREDS or possibly more. When in 99% of cases all they've done is cause you 5 minutes of inconvenience.


Also as a general note why do people quote pictures?

These are stickers available online.
You stick them on the back (or front) of the offending vehicle then post the picture to shame them.



A slightly more appropriate way of pointing out your annoyance than damaging other peoples property!

Just to update, it was a staff car park. believe it or not whilst my sister-in-law was parking her car this morning she came across the Golf driver  she was a young Doctor who at first denied it, but once shown the photographic evidence, tried to say there wasn't enough room on the other side(also a lie) in the end she almost started crying and ran off. lets hope shes a better Doctor than a driver!

^ lol.

Did you find out if she was pretty? All would be forgiven if she's a hottie doccie

[swgti]

I'd be tempted NOT to p*ss her off, you never know she might be the one that has to remove that in growing toe nail next week!!!!

Oh and while I'm at it what possesses people to park right next to my car in a virtually empty car park, especially when I've go to the trouble of parking as far away from everyone else as I can............

had the very same thing, pensioner watches me park and decides to park next to my car with about a foot to open the door. I spotted this as I was about to go in the shop and walk back to watch them get out, they couldn't get out

what was the point in it, I'm sure had I not watched them they would have bashed my car

In that case there really is no excuse

Round her up and burn her at the stake.

A foxy young female doctor is berated for a slight parking misjudgement.
Criminal retribution is entertained.
The obese and now even the elderly are being attacked.

If a wheelchair user comes anywhere near your pride and joy, deal with them swiftly. I've found that a firm slap in the face with a monkfish stuns them sufficiently to allow you to either push them down the nearest hill (for a manual chair) or short the battery (where an electric wheelchair is encountered). You have the option of informing them how expensive a correction detail is these days.

I'm not attacking the elderly, just pointing out there was no need to park inconsiderately. I park out of the way to protect my car from these morons that don't know how to park. Another pet hate are people who abandon shopping trolleys in car parks.
