Esso at Cabinteely going southbound?

See cars there every so often, I think staff sometimes park there.

I was thinking - we spend so much time posting pics here and discussing the issue, yet most of the offenders go through live ignorant to the fact. How about some sort of sticker, which you would attach to the car and include in the picture ? Something along the line of "Stopping obnoxious parking - one motor at a time" - ok that is pretty lame but someone could come up with a better slogan. We'd get a kick of it, could even have some sort of a league table as it adds a "danger" element, and it would send a message to these people. Yay or nay?

You're definitely the first to ask anyway.

I want to believe your not being sarcastic ... but I don't

I was up by TK Maxx down in Waterford yesterday and noted the following:
All these people parked in disabled spots dispite there being LOADS of free space less then 50metres away!

Bunch of lazy feckers...and I checked not one of them had a disable permit displayed









With all these free spaces nearby :rolleyes:

The square Tallaght.. This is at the Roundabout at the entrance..

Nobody in either van or Corolla..



Square the same day.. The beemer, Saab and the Almera all parked on double yellows.. There was plenty of spaces just behind me and all around!!

Maybe this guy felt he didn't need a sticker as he'd painted his disability all over his van?

folks, most of these seem to be about taking up two spaces, but what if the person couldn't even be bothered to drive into the space?



taken in Limerick a few months ago

This should get "The Attempted parking of the year award". It is definitely a contender.

Sandyford Ind Estate, LOADS of spaces around.

Is the last space for a motorbike or a pedestrian walkway?

It's possibly a slightly small space, but you can see another car in the same space over the shoulder of the silver A3, so it can be done.

There's no way you could fit two cars anyway comfortably in that space though, the last space looks two feet short of the width of the next one and the one you're talking about behind the A3 is in a different row altogether so could be totally different

Even if you couldn't fit two cars into those spaces he still could have parked comfortably in the bigger space. It doesn't matter if it was a walkway or bike parking spot, he's still a dick.

Fine, let's assume then that the smaller space near the kerb is a dedicated motorbike space. Does it make the Corolla's parking job any less obnoxious? :D

I never said it was not bad parking, I only asked was it a ped walkway or bike space because a car would not fit in it

I'm guessing it is a random small space due to the angle of the adjacent road but I would hardly call it an obnoxious or offensive parking job, maybe a bit selfish, when as you said there were plenty of regular sized spaces around.

Now, just so as I don't bring this off topic too much

I think this would be more in the line of obnoxious parking. Not only is it obstructing the road but it is also occupying the drop off point of the GP medical center next door to the pharmacy. (I don't think it would be an emergency either as there is a hospital emergency room less than 1/2 a mile away)

I would not even bother of wiping the licence plate in the photo unless it yours. It is best to shame poor parkers here when they see their car here, It is no different to the Revenue publishing tax evaders in the newspapers with the names and address and tax amounts.
