The other guy came along and blocked four cars in. Unless he was carrying someone seriously sick into A & E I don't think he has any right to do that. Even when I was in labour my husband dropped me at reception and immediately moved our car to the car park as he was in a a staff parking area at midnight with no other cars in the whole staff car park. Even the receptionist was amazed that he wouldn't leave his car there while I was booked in but some of us respect rules.

She wasn't desperately sick, she wasn't at home. She had a chest infection and she was with us, we were on the way home from GPs and stopped to get the prescription. My husband dropped me and daughter at entrance to hospital where a porter put me in a wheelchair with daughter on my lap. Yes, my husband then parked the car .

so lets see if ive got this right.


just before midnight you went to gp's surgery with sick daughter and hubby.
having getting a sitter for other 3 children, just before midnight, so daughters illness must have been serious. Mmm


then just after went to chemist, again, just before midnight. Mmm


then some driver came and blocked in 4 cars all parked close by at just before midnight midnight near open shops. Mmm


then rush to hospital to arrive at midnight in a emergency, hubby parks in empty staff carpark, that receptionist is ok with, but hubby calmly moves it anyway. Mmmm


your "story" has more holes than a good swiss cheese.;)

This one? I missed it. I don't think I'd have said anything, my living room is at the back of the house so I probably wouldn't have noticed unless there really was an emergency and I don't think I would have been the one running across the road to ask him to move.



You have to park to do the delivery or load or unload.

I have no idea how good the OP is at judging the size of a Tesco van but I accept what she says. Why wouldn't I?

Your quote was about a loading bay. I don't know if the OP has a loading bay across her drive but somehow I doubt it. There wasn't a loading bay where the driver who blocked me in parked but then he wasn't loading anyway.

So you took your living to the shops? interesting

In a nutshell they wouldn't. They are totally inured to such mundane things and have better things to be dealing with. I've got 30 years experience in working in the NHS and believe you me nobody really cares about patients parking out of hours or would comment on it...it's all been seen a myriad times before.


'Oh you are here in an emergency?...let me just hold up your treatment and express my amazement as to why your hubby/taxi driver wandering off'...?

mumps is having a laugh, self important types just make things up to suit the story and situation. then blame everyone else.

Reminds me of the Post Office thread about what's asking inside. Loads of people coming up with sex toys etc just to see the look on their faces. But what look, they've probably heard it all before & couldn't care less.

That would be a hanging offence at least for the OP

The lady who posted it may live in a house in the country with a long driveway for all we know. Perhaps the driver took a wrong turning thinking it was a country lane!
