Don't often rant...but really!

Update - both other cars are still there, mine isn't! :j My lovely postie squeezed himself between the cars, took a great big breath in and got into my car. :j Damsel in distress no more.

Good on the postie.

The silver car actually has the front passenger wheel over the line with the back wheel away from it. Think they're there for the weekend.

Saved from the idiots by my postie. Car now parked round the corner again.:T

I am not the world's best car parker, but if I drive into a parking bay and it's no straight, I correct myself by pulling out by half a car length and straighten up.

That takes less than 10 seconds to do. If drivers are not willing to do this, then they should post their licence to the DVLA saying they are incompetent at driving.

Another pet hate of mine is when people with nice cars, park smack in the middle of two spaces, so prevents their cars getting damaged. Don't drive a nice car! Cars that take up 2 spaces will cause problems during busy times where other drivers cannot find a car park space.

My mother does that but doesn't move the wheel so goes back in at exactly the same angle and says "ah that's better" or she will drive through a space to the one in front and somehow manage to have her front end sticking out even though she's only got a Yaris. There's usually room for another small car behind her :mad:

LOL, that is bad! It's happened to me a few times too. I have had to crawl across the seats from the passenger side! Must admit, I have scrawled mild profanities in eye liner on the windscreen a couple of times. To get the message across, but without damaging the car. :rotfl:

Keys sometimes come in handy in situations like this

A colleague keeps a note pad and a permanent marker pen in his car. If he a car parked badly, he slips a note saying 'you park like an idiot' under the drivers side windscreen wiper.

There is a Facebook page with images of bad parking.

I'd kick the living daylights out of anyone who keyed my card.
