I parked my car in Asda car park a while ago and, when I came back, a shitty little fiat punto had parked next to me and the driver had obviously opened his door quite forcefully and put a crease in my passenger door.
As I stood there, four young lads came towards the punto. On seeing me looking at my door, they started grinning at each other and letting out silly, teenager types farting noises. As the first lad got towards the drivers door, I didn't give him a chance to say anything, I just punched him square on the jaw. It made a satisfying crack and he went down like a sack of spuds. By this time another lad had come between the two cars, shouting and waving his arms, so I kicked him in the nuts and, as he started to bend forwards, butted him straight in the face. Blood poured from his nose and down his stupid tee shirt with a picture of a minnion on it.
The other two didn't know what to do and started to move away a bit quick like, muttering something about me being a nutter. I thought I'd give them a hiding too, but was interrupted.....
Steve.......Steve........I've brought you a cup of coffee up, love. You seemed to be in a really deep sleep there...were you dreaming ?

I keep nagging at Mother to get a blue badge... she walks with two sticks and qualifies for a restriction free bus pass... yet she insists that she doesn't meet the criteria ::)

Biggest bugbear re car parks generally,  is that spaces, and for that matter newbuild garages, are still based on the Mk1 Viva... which is about the same size as the Adam >:(

Thus depriving a genuinely disabled person a place to park.  ::)

Yes people do that as well as child & parent spaces, if we go shopping we take the wife's Panda plenty of room in a bay for that.

I would never abuse a disabled bay, but I really don't see why there are child/parent bays. I will use one if it suits me because I am a parent anyway and those bays are wider/safer. Nowhere does it say that you have to have your child with you, nor what age!

I believe that whilst somewhat ambiguous, the criteria is implied ;D

Unfortunately cars in general are getting bigger ,you only have to look at the Minis of today certain models look huge. I never take the Merc anywhere where I have to use a public car park because it is totally mint & I would like to keep it that way, the 4x4  if I take that usually look for a bay at the end of a row , that seems to have worked so far.

Nick, I wouldn't feel the need to say anything as it is unenforceable in a supermarket car park anyway.
If I said anything at all I would suggest they speak to someone who gives a fu ck. It's usually the women with children that cause most damage anyway, as they only care about their sprogs and not where the car doors might be hitting.

Oh heavens no!  Guess they'll just have to park in the other 1/4 of the car park reserved for a non-existent proportion of the population who are supposedly disabled.  Not like we didn't already pay their benefits and their brand new motability car... oh wait, we did.  ::)

I can't blame him, people now days don't care a fook, only last week I came back to get in my car, and noticed a bloke park next to mine so I waited a bit, walked up, as he got out of his badly parked mini, opened his door into mine, I said to the bloke excuse me you just hit my car with your door, his reply no I didn't, I retorted I just watched you do it, there was no damage its just the I don't care attitude,,,, I did notice he had a flat tyre as I left,  :P

Like it BG . . ;D ;D ;D  was only flat at the bottom though was it not ?  ;D ;D ;D


O yes only at the bottom,
