I never saw it in England, but I see it in America all the time.
Maybe not in England but here in Sunny Scotland at our local Toys R Us Store there is a yellow lotus thingy parked over two spaces every time I go there. I drive past on my way to Sainsburys every other week and there it is - prob the managers.

Anyway one Saturday the car park was full and I circled round and round and finally got a space. I was :curse: by this time and wanted to leave a note on the windscreen but no pen!!!. So I improvised- I stuck a 'ladies feminine item' to his windscreen.

My nine year old son still talks about the day mummy stuck one of her nappies on that mans yellow car .

Moral to the story - never mess with a redhead with PMS!

Good for you girl... I bet the owner of the car won't be forgetting it any time soon either!

I remember towards the end of my pregnancy with my first watching a guy in his 30's pull in to the 'stork' parking (space for pregnant woman) at Meijers. She was born in Dec and the weather was nasty.

What the hell is the reasoning behind people parking in two spaces?

It's always idiots in luxury cars. "Oh, my car is so expensive it deserves two parking spaces, so it doesn't need to be in proximity to 'regular' cars."

These people should be taken out and shot.

I never saw it in England, but I see it in America all the time.
Just imagine how they drove in order to get there!

If you only saw the car stationary you probably got off lightly!

My ENGLISH DH does it all the time here even though I complain every time. At least he parks at the end of the lot.

Yes, but getting 'You park like a twat' scrawled in lipstick across your windscreen and your tyres deflated might prove to be an inconvenience.

Not that I have ever condoned such behaviour. Honest.

EDIT: I honestly haven't, but I've seen it done.

I've heard that disabled drivers with wheelchairs park like that so they have enough space to get the wheelchair out via a side door.

Yes, the convenient thing about parking like that is you leave nice wide gaps for others to push their shopping carts through......and we all know how hard they can be to steer....

I was at the super market last weekend and there was a woman unloading her cart. Her car was parked opposite to mine. The cart park was 2 car spaces away and she left the cart right in front of my car. I just said in a voice loud enough for her to hear, "lazy sod, the cart park is just 2 spaces down." If looks could kill.

Correction... you see it in 'New Jersey' all the time. NJ drivers are atrocious with no regard for anyone except themselves. If they would even consider using indicators (turn signals will give away your next move - a real New Jersey driver never uses them) the traffic problems would ease somewhat. I don't think a day goes by where I don't see something to make my head turnm 180.

Yeah, but he's driving a f***ing Range Rover?

Do you need a diagram?


Not really, we get assclowns parking like that here too. Usually they are either driving "cars" which require two spaces (simply down to the crappy durning circle), or they are assholes!

Score!!
