More Obnoxious parking - ***READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING***

Berty

To be fair it looks like his suspension has crumpled so he is going nowhere.

This is a regular ooccurance. Yes, blame to Tesco for letting the markings fade so much, but that doesn't excuse the car blocking the crossing.

Another pet hate of mine!

The owner of this lovely little car was one of the officials at the crucial world cup qualifier between France and Ireland in Paris. Surprisingly, he didn't see Henry's handball...

Looks like insurance disc fell off too

In this van there where two people sitting and munching on sandwiches while I arrived, went inside and got coffee and a sandwich and when I left.
Blocking the pumps for about 10 mins. Engine running of course.
Nom nom nom...

Looks like the place in Galway. There is/was a big chunk missing from the overhang of the shop entrance before. Why?

Because I hit it with a truck.

Hardly parking related though.

@everyone - Let's keep it on topic.

I saw that car in another position in airside, also taking up the same amount of spaces.

Couldn't get a picture as I was driving, but there's three parking spaces facing a shop (Awkward spot anyway), one of which is a disabled space.
There was a car parked (not even in any of them) but lengthways across the ends of all of them so that no one would be able to get into any of the spaces. There wasn't even anyone in the drivers seat should someone need to get into a space and they could just move their car, nope, they left it there.
Why they couldn't use one of the spaces I've no idea, all three were empty (though one was a disabled space, but still leaves two!!)

Idiotic people.

Two more examples this morning:



Ashbourne
and



Ballymun (Homebase).

Worst ever?

Turned out someone hadn't applied handbrake and so the car had rolled out of the disabled spot it was it.
Wonder what disability owner had?
Anyway just after this pic a parking attendant guy came and pushed it back into the space and put a brick behind the tyre.

That is a jumbo transit if parked in the space correctly the back end would have stuck out you'd need 1 and a half space to park it My LWB transit is the same way won't fit into a parking space have to park in two spaces only about a foot or so of my van stick into the other space

Sticky Fingers

Just look to the right of the photo, there are hundreds of feet to park, even if he has a super extra length Transit, I think he might just about fit there ! but he was too busy enjoying his lunch to notice.

That is a road with a solid white line.

Now, remind me of some that one shouldn't do on a road with a solid white line?

Sticky Fingers

What ? That solid white line is a marker for parking. This road runs along the seafront in Greystones. The road is very wide and is one way too

I don't think it is unreasonable to think that the poster might not have known where the pic was taken. They were not to know that the road in question is a very wide one way street and that the solid white line is marking the left side of the road and not the centre. Is that line not also an indication of the cycle lane, nearly sure that it is.

In fairness, though not as an excuse, there are virtually no parking spaces for those who drive outsize vehicles, and commercials.

Truck drivers, in particular, have very few places where they can park up and go buy lunch.

If there was a lot of free spaces that's how I'd park a long van. Or if I was towing a trailer.

If the van was parked the other way the back end would stick out into the traffic.

Seriously?

Like everyone here, I'm sure, I've witnessed some appauling and outright dangerous parking associated with truck drivers and their luncheon arrangements. In short, **** Johnny and **** his poxy sausage roll- let him sort his affairs without risking lives.

So people should have to starve to keep a camera/keyboard warrior happy...:rolleyes:.

Some pics in this thread are totally OTT. While there is some good ones(the ones that are well thanked;)) there is more cars parked in empty car parks that arent parked obnoxiously.
