    I wonder, does anyone of these people actually see the pics and go "Wow, I really suck at parking" :D

    I have just been through 21 pages wondering if there was a picture of my car there.

    I do try and park properly, but spend a lot of time in hospitals for work the often there is minimum places to park - E.g. Crumlin childrens hospital!

    Never park across 2 spaces though, and never in disable spots.

    if i had an expensive car i'd park across 2 spots....absolutely.


    i see some sh1t buckets about the place and the total disregard for other cars is appalling.

    some car park spots are tiny,esp ones that have pillars

    btw if i caught someone letting the airs outta my tyres i'd kick the bollix outta them.---man OR woman...none of that "....never hit a girl.." codswallop:rolleyes:

    that would be my mother :D she know she sucks at parking :D takes her age to park properly :D but now with parking sensors on the back maybe she will have more confidence in manoeuvring to park straight :D

    Won't fit lengthways into one spot. Driver was being considerate by not attempting to. Carpark is half empty to it doesn't really matter anyway...

    I thought your issue was with the badly parked Audi tbh

    I was thinking that too tbh but they could have parked lenghtways in a corner as would easily fit within white lines. Yeah, i noticed the audi too but wasn't the worst parking :)

    Once had a person stop dead in front of me while i was following him on roundabout. He then moved up a bit up onto the kerb and parked there blocking half of one of the lanes on the roundabout. :eek: Had to swerve round him to avoid rear ending him. He could have just stopped on the hardshoulder after the roundabout if it was an emergency.

    I must remember to bring camera with me!

    Picked the kid up from creche and there was so much bad parking it was unreal.

    1 Parked over 2 spaces.

    Another parked in front of an empty parking spot! All she had to do was drive in. She was lined up perfectly, but no sitting completly out was fine with here! Not even the bumper was in the spot fs.

    Then the other woman who decided to stop beside she empty spots and park on the end, but the catch was she didn't park in a car parking space, she parked outside the row.

    All 3 were women drivers and all in the same car park at 1pm

    Even the gf does give out yards about women drivers

    guy in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre with a trailer attached was parked across 4 spaces yesterday, so I parked in the space next to the front of his car...when I got back he was sitting there, stuck, waiting to get out, look on his face was priceless. Not a word out of him either :D

    I do that too. If your car is so precious that you need two spots for it you better make sure you don't leave enough room for me to get my crappy punto beside it. :p

    I did it recently. I have the pictures in my iPhone but I will try to extract them later today. Far too lazy this hour of a Sunday to do it.

    These pictures were taken outside the Mid Western Regional Hospital Outpatients Door in Limerick. Considering the other door was closed due to some made up illness there was a lot of traffic at this door. I was parked in a perfectly legal set down area.

    Catering Van couldn't be bothered parking legally so the two women parked in the disabled spots and left for 30 minutes.

    This driver of this car was not only blocking disabled spaces and an empty disabled space but also cars coming and going from the hospital. To the left of the picture is the only entrance and exit for vehicles to the door of the hospital. An Ambulance got caught because of his parking.

    IMG_0072.jpg

    This picture shows that people with disabled stickers are so fvcking stingy that they wouldn't park in the actual car park and spend €2 because the actual spaces were full they just abandoned their cars here. There is a tiny roundabout to the right of them which is always full of taxi's so hard enough to turn as it is.

    Bear in mind there are only 3 spaces. Before I decided to take the picture there were 6 cars parked here.

    you and your "type" are one of the reasons people park across two spots:mad:

    So you just don't want somebody parking beside you. Ok.
    I thought they did it because they were afraid somebody might scratch their car.

    I've frequently gone into car parks where the only option left was to squeeze in beside the muppet that has gone over the lines. Hard luck mate if that's beside your car. I'm not going to scratch it but I'm not going to drive out of the car park just because your car or your driving is "special".

    Tip: If your car is that special to you don't park it in public car parks. You're more likely to get some idiot bump it while reversing out from a spot opposite you.

    As opposed to cnuts in "fancy" cars not giving a bollix about other people.. and if that means somebody else can't park because the last couple of spots are taken buy guys who like two spots each then sure who cares.

    how'd you figure that out from my post???


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,149 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    for how long? :p

    The sign said "Set down only and pick up only" and it was a temporary sign but didn't give an alloted time so I set down and picked up.

    However long it took....................................:D

    Took these outside tesco, carrick-on-shannon today.
    The guy in the golf was parked across the pedestrian crossing and also making it awkward for other drivers trying to get in and out of their lanes. He was sitting there for quite a while to till security asked him to move!!

    I took both of these yesterday in Childers road Retail Park, Limerick.

    The thing is both of these drivers got out and walked to the gym 10mtrs from their cars. If you look a the picture the whole entire length of the car is full of these muppets.

    There were 1000's of spaces free FFS. If you are going to the gym then you could at least WALK a little further. :mad:

    I hate people that do that in Childers rd.

    Or the people that pull in at a local shop only to park where there is no car space when there are plenty of free spaces

    That's a big a$$ sun strip, no wonder he parked like a gobsh1te :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 151 ✭✭marious


    I've actually emailed couple of months ago shopping centre (Mahon Point in Cork) about this parking behaviour and they responded that due to lack of money they can't look after that and clamp people, my email about releasing clamp would cost driver around 30-50 euro was left without response...what else can You do? might be nearly empty parking but still somebody will park like your man above because hes to lazy... :/

    That Tesco parking seems to be truly a Tesco thing to do because my Tesco in Nenagh has the same freakin idiots and there could seriously be a line of 10 cars parked right at the bollards.
