    I keep a roll of gaffa tape in the car especially for eedjits like that. Pull one string about 3 foot long and just apply to the drivers door, stand back and watch horrified owner when he/she reappears.

    You just can't win and you can't please everyone. You park in that one spot, along the kerb, the furthest corner in the car park with no one else around and when you come back someone had decided to park next to you and for good measure they leave a nice ding in the door of your pride and joy.

    I can see at least 7 empty spots there. Granted they could have taken a spot with nobody on either side but even still, it's not like they're causing an issue for anyone who needs a spot.

    The problem arises when everyone decides to take that attitude though and you end up with a less than capacity car park - It's ignorant and entirely disrespectful to other road/shop users.

    And it's just a bog standard Merc. I'd understand if it was a Ferrari or Lamborghini etc.

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    It's someone's pride and joy. To hazard a guess a young persons first brand new car that they've worked there ass off for. I don't see any problem with them taking up two spots ona half empty car park to save the hassle of someone coming along in their pile of scrap and hopping a door off it.

    seen it around my way a few times, always driven by a woman that looks to be 50/60ish.

    Ah fair enough, because lads on building sites, hotel cleaners etc don't work their asses off to purchase and maintain their mode of transport. . .

    I was generalising because iv noticed a lot of people my age driving them rather than the older type you "generally" get in say an e class. A 50/60 year old woman can still be car proud though.

    Right. Even so, it still doesn't make it right for them to park like that. Next you'll be saying it's alright for the Merc to drive in the middle of the road and that the rest of us should pull in on the hard shoulder when passing it..

    If the car is that precious to the owner and they are that worried about possible scratches, they have plenty of alternatives to parking like a pr*ck. Because that's exactly what it is, being an ignorant pr*ck.

    I reckon that kind of parking is more likely to attract some form of vandalism than the chances of accidental damage occurring from parking normally would.

    No more "star" for me. That make started to be worse and worse from early '90s

    I was never a big Merc fan, especially the 00s stuff which I thought looked dull, I like the newest stuff though, even the C Class looks good now...

    Nothing special just shocking parking in Super Valu Waterford earlier today.....we get that you don't want people breathing on your 1.5l Diesel but come on, park in a single space at the back of the carpark, don't be so ignorant

    Thats not in the hypercentre, is it? Well with that place people just throw cars around anywhere they like and park too close to the car next to them.As for parking between the lines, pfffft......

    Of course it could apply to any parking area too.

    Where did you see that? Saw a very similar one myself in Bray last weekend.

    Also saw a De Tomaso up around Marlay Park this evening.

    In Drumcondra, it's not a car I've seen before around here. I reckon it was only here for a match in Tolka park.
