i dont go to public car parks in the starbus so dont really have the need but when i do go its usally at night when car parks dead so i admitedly park in disabled/parent parking but thats due to the fact theres more disabled spaces then cars in the car park at the times i go and i hate it when people open there door into my car i even headbut a bloke about it once (he was a dickhead)

and if i go in the day i go in the birds clio so shes usually driving and parks as far from the doors as she physically can haha

although if i dod go to car parks in the day i park in parent spots and normal spots i try to avoid disabled spaces unless there the only spaces avaliable

also its only ilegal to park on a disabled space if its marked in yellowm its its makred in white its not ilegal

i dont usually park in the wrong space, but this one instance made me laugh and really pissed off all at the same time. my ex girlfriend worked in b&q, and one night i picked her up at like 9'o'clock, the place was shut, car park was empty, and the closest spot to the entrance was ofcourse the disabled spaces, so i just drove up, had the window open a bit, and parked next to someone else in a disabled space, this woman winds down her window and goes, excuse me, but thats a disabled space!


back the fuck up love, are you being serious? lmao get a fucking grip! i was expecting a disabled cruise to roll up and need the ten or more disabled spaces at the shut b&q like, feck offfff!!

I was parked at ASDA one night, I think it was 2:30am, I had just driven the 340 miles from Reading to Newcastle, I called in to get some food and a 360 game, dumped the car (as I was one of 6 in the car park) in the family space near the main door, it was raining so heavy that it was bouncing off the floor and I was in a cream suit.

I took maybe 5 minutes to get all of my wants and needs, stood under the canopy readying myself for the 100 yard dash to the car and this woman pipes up next to me...

"Excuse me, is that your overly loud and flashy boy racer car (6.0l LS2 Black Monaro VXR) parked in a family space taking up a space you shouldn't have!?"

I look around, make note that she has both of her children with her, the youngest being a 12-18 month old little girl with pierced ears!?!?!?!?!.

I reply ......

"Sorry, oh, yes that is my car thanks for the overly flattering comments. May I ask are those two tiny urchins yours? May I suggest maybe you wind your neck in and worry more about the fact that you have two children under the age of 4 up at almost 3am as apposed to worrying about me taking up 1 of the 30 free parent a child spaces? ... ohh, would you like a hand with your bags or a hand raising them two by introducing bed times?"

I will never ever park in disabled bays nor would I park in a parent a child space had it not been at 2:30am and with raing coming in sideways.

I saw a beat up old Discovery with an old guy pull up behind an Audi A4 Quattro outside a local metal work and fabrication unit near my mates factory.

Disco pulls up, old boy hangs his head out and says to me "Excuse me young sir, are there any more disabled spaces close by that I could park in for my wife, she's in wheelchair"

I look around "no sorry fella, all taken by flash motors and bong eyes Stevie Wonder Wanna'bes"

He smiles, gets out, has a wander over to the Audi, please note this guy is far from well himself, shuffling up with a big old walking stick.

"THWACK, THWACK, KISCHHHHH" window goes in, door opens, handbrake off...


"DINK" Disco mates up to the back of the Audi, rolls it 3-4 cars length back, almost against the front of the unit (now pinned in) and then in rolls the disco, parked nice and square. Old boy takes his wife out, smiles at me, gets her into her chair and rolls off.

Guy in the Audi looks at me when he returns, I'm laughing my arse off, he comes over and starts squaring up to me, so being a bit quick wiitted I simply make out like it's my Disco and I'm not moving it ;) dragging my leg Keiser Sosay stylee. My mates come off of the unit and make him aware he was well out of line, his reply "I was only 15 minutes" my reply "I've been disabled for 29 years" he has no comeback and gets more and more angry.

This goes on for what seems like a decade, old buy comes back with a new wheelchair pre-folded, opens the disco and puts it in and walks off. Guy seems bemused....

Old boy comes back with his wife, loads up, ignoring the wanker in the Audi, shuts the doors and drives off.

We never knew what happened to the Audi driver or the old boy, but dammnnnn I have MASSIVE respect for the old man, looking after his wife and doing what he must ;)

If I parked in a disabled bay and someone did that I would not even argue, I think I'd shake their hand!

Superb stuff! I think it's spot on what you said about the woman and the old man is class!!! :haha:

No I never use them, I will find a normal parking spot like anyone else who hasn't got kids or is disabled. I don't have a problem with it. Like Si said though, what are the chances of some woman coming up to you at 3 in the moening whinging on at you with her 2 kids when there are still plenty of spaces for her.

I could have understood had it of been say midday Saturday and there were only a handful of spaces left, then I would have obviously waited or looked further 'out' but after midnight on a Friday with a 99.9% empty carpark.... paahh.

I just park as far as away from others as possible, but then i don't mind the extra bit of walking if it saves the paintwork lol :D xx

I always pack far away and in 2 spaces, really annoys my gf lol but reduces the risk of damage!

Only time I'll park in a disabled or parent space is when I'm literally just using a cash point.

the way i look at it, ill park there if im in a rush or something, but i usually park futrther away.

But if your disabled, yes, IF you need a wheel chair or some big piece of equipment you need tog et out, you should have a space, BUT, any one who is "disabled" but is well enough, to drive to the shops, walk 3/4's of a mile around the shops, back to their car, and drive home, should not be parking in them IMO, if your well enough to do all of that, what difference does 150yrds further walking in a car park make?

unless you have a big heavy piece of eqquipment that needs to be brought around with you, obviously.

I actually work in Tescos, Sainsburys, and Waitrose, I work for the company who build their plant rooms and install the control systems, and garunteed 150% we will park in the disabled space right next to the door all day long. Our equipment is alot bigger and heavier than any wheechair or mobility device. And the amount of disabled people who shout at us for it is unreal,

Some guy who parked next to us, shouted at us because he couldnt park 4 yards closer to the door!

And don't agree with guys using disabled spaces, if they had direct contact with people that need those spaces they would understand and stop using them.

Nice read Si :)

I take it the woman had nothing to say back to your comment?

Annoys me how many tesco staff actually park their car in the parent and child spaces all day long. I wouldnt have the shame to be able to walk back to my car without a child and in my work uniform.

Sooo true about parking far away tho at empty part and you come back and your like "whyyyy did they have park next to me theres 40 other spaces around!!!" :p

If im parking in a 'normal' space when im on my own or without children etc i always try find an 'end space' so that i can park as far away from that one adjoining car space as possible to give that extra room to avoid dings.
