    So you don’t think it’s selfish to take two of something that is intended to be one each?

    Oh i do yes, however i can see why people feel they have to do so and i'm not condoning it.

    Damaging other people's cars is vindictive, rather than selfish. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they ARE both wrong.

    Exactly. They are BOTH wrong.

    However those dishing out the comeuppence dont see themselves as in the wrong - its "ok" to them to (allegedly) smear makeup on someones car and its "ok" to park over two spaces to themselves to cause inconvenience to someone because someone else parked over two spaces
  • What’s the nice Mercedes? I do hope that we’re talking about an SLR here, not an E class...

    I do admit that I’ve stuck the motorbike lock on the wheel of people like Wooly before and left it there overnight. It hopefully reduces the chance of them doing it again, and causes no harm.

    I’ve a nice car myself, a little two-seater Audi, but only use the parent and child space when I have a child with me.
  • Ah, it seems Wooly has a history of picking fights with people, as she feels that everyone else is an idiot.

    Wooly, given that you say that you are ten stone overweight, could you not be eligible for a blue badge?

    Not selfish to take something for yourself that is intended for somebody else who needs it more?

    If you park across two spaces, or in a disabled/parent spot when you don’t qualify, that’s exactly what you are doing.

    Inconvenient maybe, wrong nope.
