Bigger parking spaces for women.

my grandfather is always amazed how little space the family cars need to leave for me to reverse into
easy enough like

was a bit of a shock going from my little starter micra to my current car though for the first day or two

I'm female, I have no problem whatsoever with parking, but I still always prefer to go for bigger spaces. Less chance of getting dinges in the side of my car! :cool:

When I got my LP the only time I got to drive was when my mum had to park

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here to be honest, but if you have a completely flat slab of tarmac and it rains, where is all the water going to do?

I was referring to the layout. And yes there are usually sloped.

But as we've seen all too often large puddles and localised flooding during heavy rain are far too common on our roads and paths , and some car parks

if the children are so small, then surely they'd need less space to get in/out of the car

I don't think you ever had to take out a small child out of a car

I parked in a parent & child spot in the supermarket the other day as I had my little girl in car seat in the back, only to be told by a woman that "these spaces are for mothers and children only".

Dopey bitch.

First comment there:
"Oh like any real woman cares what some German dude does…..has anyone seen a typical German porn movie? They spend more time eating waste material from each others hinterlands than actually having relations of one contorted sort or another. The last such German movie title I saw plastered on a blue movie theater marquee was when I was walking down a street in Munich looking for a restaurant that served something actually edible…….so as I was sitting there in a Kentucky Fried Chicken…….across the street they were playing a movie called “Haste Makes Waste”…..I supposed then as I do now…that Haste is some German fellows first name…..and what little German I do know language wise….I don’t think it rhymes with waste."
:pac:

How did a discussion about women's parking spaces turn into a discussion about porn?

Ah. That makes a bit more sense alright.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Mayor Gallus Strobel of Triberg in Germany has introduced female-only parking spots. These designated parking spaces are bigger, which make it easier for parking, as women apparently are worse at parking than men.

Obviously its a bit sexist, but wouldn't it make more sense to make all the spaces bigger?

They are all over Munich anyway, particularly in multi storey car parks. They are also located closest to the stairwell/lifts and under the CCTV cameras for safety.

Don't see the problem really..

Seriously?
What a bitch.

Regarding the OP, this doesn't make sense. Last year there was some sort of an order from Europe about male and female insurance and it was discriminating against males or something like that. Basically insurance premiums were due to go up for women or down for men or something. And now germany comes out with discriminating parking spaces.

You think you are great now you can use a space nearer the door.
what did you say or did you just give her a filthy look?
