    They know they'd be totally overwhelmed with reports. They can't even cope with the 999 calls they get ffs...

    The new style of parking at the Supervalu car park in Ballybofey is to try and get the car centred over a white line. Got 2 here for the price of 1. If I said it was women who parked both cars Id get slaughtered so I wont mention it.

    Donegal is like Mumbai when it comes to driving. It's like a third world country in driving terms.

    No more than the fact that these two were women drivers, in fairness

    Blatantly taking up 2 spaces is very annoying but I can understand it if you're minding your car as shop carparks are notorious for people that don't give a s**t about other people's cars( not condoning it but understand it and may have done it) but what drives me insane is people parking on the lines. No way will I squeeze in when I know they'll come back and bang doors and trolleys off my car, it's every bit as bad as parking in the middle of 2 spaces imo, maybe even worse tbh.

    Seen worse but still....

    A lady came back to the car minus a child.. looking like a drunk dolly parton..off the center of that space by 5 feet and making the wheelchair/accessible space unusable at worse... dangerous for anyone with a disability at best..

    Parent and child spaces are just a courtesy, no requirement for them to have children. Most people won't take advantage of them but people are generally disgustingly lazy and will abuse them to park next to the door rather than park 50m away. Most people that park in them in my local Tesco never have children with them or just an empty car seat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,199 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    But the spaces were marked out for a reason much the same as disabled parking bays. I believe the laws cant be enforced when these bays are located on private property such as supermarkets and shopping centres etc but you need to be a bit of bollix to to use them when not entitled to.

    If you mean Parent and Children spots, there is no entitlement or lack of entitlement in their use. They carry no legal weight whatsoever regardless of being in private property or pubic.

    Or children that are old enough to be well capable of getting in and out of the car themselves.

    Busy aldi carpark, merc was there when I arrived and still there when I left. The full 4 spaces.

    Not sure why it’s sideways.

    It's not just that he parked on the footpath, he parked on the one bit of the footpath that is dished, to accommodate wheelchair users, parents pushing buggies, people using walking frames and more. I guess it was just too much effort to reverse back a little bit.

    Probably one of the builders working on the house at the corner.

    Me thinks tesla drivers are the new bmw drivers.

    Not a disabled person in sight & its not the first time I've noticed how entitled they feel they are!

    Outside a SuperValu this morning.

    Definitely the new a$$holes on the road. So many of them adore Elon like he is infallible but I digress.

    I haven't noticed Tesla drivers to drive like they own the road and there's plenty of them around where I live. Honestly haven't noticed any EVs driving like they own the road. Still the same twats in their 10-15 year old shítbox diesels.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭De Bhál


    nothing in the driveway, just couldn't be arsed driving it in that extra 4 metres




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Timfy


    Where to begin? Parked on a (semi) roundabout, double yellows, obstructing traffic flow and just in front of a zebra crossing!!! Stayed there for a good thirty minutes.

    I don't think Tesla drivers have a sense of entitlement necessarily. The fact they have bought into the hype and purchased a truly awful car, shows its more likely that they are just dumb.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,216 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    Why bother parking my wankpanzer in an actual parking bay when I can just stop and walk away?

    I thought it was the guy using the ATM at first, but no, it wasn't.

    Supervalu Knocklyon.




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭Garzard


    That's a regular one in that Supervalu, always parked in that area anytime I've seen. Meant to get a photo before.

    I've seen it 5-6 times in the last year and I'm in that Supervalu regularly, sometimes gone when I've come back out so assume they're just a customer.
