There is one thing that is really annoying me recently and that’s people (mainly women) who have large vehicles (people carriers) and can't or don’t want to park them correctly in parking bays, and its starting to get my blood boiling, as an example last week I followed a large VW people carrier into a small car park the had 2 spaces side by side, the driver, a women promptly placed her vehicle bang in the middle of the 2 bays, as they were the only ones free I politely asked to reposition her car so I could park, she said that she always parked like this as she did not want people to open their cars doors against her new car making dents, I replied that yes it’s a pain in the arse when they do that, but she could not cover 2 bays, she said something under her breath and re-parked but she was still over the bay I was going into, she got out of her vehicle gave me the finger and walked off. Now giving me the finger is not polite or nice for a lady to give, so I watched her walk away and immediately parked right against her driver’s door leaving about an 8" gap, I then went and did my shop and returned to find her standing by her car waiting for someone or something, so I decided to sit on a wall opposite so I could watch what she was going to do about the situation, 5 minutes or so later she opened the passenger door and climbed into her driver seat at which point I walked to my opened my door gave her the finger got in my car and drove off.
I have now decided that anyone occupying more space than required with oversize vehicles I will park as close as possible to their driver doors, in fact if I find one already close to someone else with their passenger door really close to someone I hope I can block them from entering their car full stop, now some of you may be cheering, others will be calling me names but I don’t care, if you drive a large vehicle, make sure you can actually drive it, and secondly don’t be upset when you find dents in your doors, the main problem being that the lines laid out for the bays were never intended for the size of vehicles parking in them now, maybe you should leave your vehicles somewhere else? So think before you park.
Moan over.
