parent and child parking

[lou4]

hi is just me or do the people who park in parent and toddler parking and dont have kids get right on your nurves

[unrulyjulie]

hell yes but not as much as non disabled people parking in disabled spots!

Both do my head in. I remember a young couple in a flipping merc pulling into a parent spot without a child and I had to walk the length of the carpark in the rain with my baby in a car seat! Ahhhhhhh!

Erm, well, I have done it (not disabled spaces, though!), but only very late at night, when it's dead and I can't be bothered to walk very far. That's my confession for the eve. :)

Hehe... almost as much as people parking in the *loading* bays just outside the supermarket or even simply parking on the double yellow lines cos they can't be ***** to park their car .....same people who will happily trundle around said supermarket on their own two (fully functioning) legs.... but simply HAVE to park their car near the exit......and don't even get me started on those drivers who believe that the pedestrian crossings can be ignored .....

unfortunately these days, so many people seem to have a lack of consideration for others in these situations.

Once when we got to ASDA, this womam pulled into the mother and child space just as we were about to go in it with our young son. We sat there and stared at her and made her feel so uncomfortable that she backed out apologising, no sign of any child in her car!!!

I get annoyed because I am very pregnant and even I can waddle from the correct parking space!

Yes it is annoying but not as annoying as an able child hopping out the car with their lazy parent.
I thought they were -quite rightly wider -for ease of use for baby seats/pushchairs -some people take liberties and spoil it for everyone.Its not for parents and children-its for parents with very young babies and toddlers who are in seats and mum or dad have to get into the back to unbuckle them.

Loading bays dont bother me -in my town -there are no parking spaces -loading bays used once a week -at most takes up 3 spaces -I just park there -some of the shopkeepers have bollards when they expect a delivery -thats a good system

Disabled -dont get me started -my mother in law had one for her father who she visited once a month but she used it bloody daily long after he died -now that gets on my t!ts but then so does she !!!!!!!!!
I would never abuse a disabled space-tempting as it is sometimes when I just have to run into a shop !!
