Inconsiderate Bastard Parking - Page 2

Let us know what that note says when you find out

I would be mega pissed off, our road is dire for parking, thats what you get living on a new estate, theres only just enough room for a car to get by when two cars are parked on the kerb either side of it

We would be shagged without a driveway, Daz gets that with the bigger car, my little Golf seems ok on the kerb, even though the miserable cow over the road has moaned dozens of times :/

Parking round our way is terrible. We have a drive but don't use it as it would be a bugger to get out if anyone parked outside the house. We generally park outside the house between our house and Lynnie's mums (the houses are adjoined for those who don't know). We've lost count of the number of times we've arrived home to find someone parked in such a way we can't park outside either house, and it's always the same people visiting the same neighbours. Despite getting them to move every time, they still insist on doing it the next time. Inconsiderate tossers.

Blocking a driveway is a No No but unfortunetly as you have no drop kerb you actually have No driveway to block

I take it you have no planning permission for a drive or you would have had your drop kerb done. You are in fact breaking the law when you cross a path with no drop kerb.
having said all that though no matter what I Never block a drive & think those that do are inconsiderate *****.

We used to have that trouble where I live. Except that one time when I got home some git parked directly infront of the drive. So I blocked his car in leaving a note asking them to come see me and tell me why he had blocked my drive. Cue about three hours later a lad came up practically pooping himself in a meek little voice saying he was very sorry.

Anyone wanna borrow my truck to park on their drive? I'll bet you absolutely NOBODY parks in front of THAT!!

At my parents house people like parking right up to the dropped kerb, and even without anyone there visibility to get out is limited, with someone there you can't see a thing - ok nothing illegal about the parking.

When there's football on at the field over the road, the whole side of the road is full of cars, usually including the odd one blocking the entire pavement with all it's wheels off the ground.

Yet the layby directly opposite is 90% of the time totally empty! How does that work??!

The parking behind our flat is just embarrassing to watch sometimes. Our flat is above a florist and travel agents and they have 4 spaces in total reserved for the staff. There's a Nationwide branch next to those and they have two spaces reserved.

Nationwide customers annoy me because they flood the car park and dump their cars on the reserved parking OR they park behind the other cars, effectively blocking the entire car park (it's only small) whilst they just "pop in" to the branch. Really annoys me when I come down to my car and find a car just dumped in front of it. I feel like storming into the branch and shouting, "To the owner of the blue Mondeo. If the car park is full, PISS OFF. Don't just dump your car blocking other people in because you can't be arsed to find somewhere else to park!"

You should apply for permission to drop your kerb matey. Costs about 250 quid & will stick a few grand on the value of your house.
Then if it is blocked you are quite within your rights to go Sparta on the inconsiderate ****.

Italian parking is an art form. Seeing two rows of cars along the same side of the road is the norm, how anyone gets out I don't know.

Still bad parking annoys me if I have to park anywhere, even just those who feel the need to take up 2 spaces, used to get idiots using my drive all the time where I used to live despite there being a free car park closer to town :s
