Parking in a child parking space


i'd have thought a supermarket car park would be an ideal place to learn kids the danger of cars and traffic. perhaps moving the parent and child spaces as far away as possible would be very helpful and educational seeing as though most cars are likely not going too fast?
 
It's funny how angry some people get over this, fair enough people without children shouldn't be using them but it's hardly a massive hardship if parents have to park in another spot. My parents managed perfectly well without child parking spaces as did their parents and their parents before them.

Your parents didn’t have to legally strap you into a car seat (well, mine didn’t). Didn’t even have to have seatbelts in the back when I was a toddler.
 
but it's hardly a massive hardship if parents have to park in another spot.

Then surely it’s not a massive hardship for people without kids to not park there?

They’re not there for people who are shit at parking/scared someone might touch their lease car.

Some absolute balloon has scratched the rear door of my lease car. It could’ve been at Sainsburys ower the watta on Sunday.

It’s the entitlement of other people. To be honest, I’m sick of it, on and off the roads. People constantly breaking little rules and inconveniencing other people, because they see themselves as too important.

I’m sure your parents did manage just fine, but that’s hardly an argument for not having something, if it offers an improvement on what went before.

If someone inconvenienced you, by breaking the rules, and you’d let that wash over you then fair enough. I’d say if someone parked in a disabled spot without a blue badge they deserve a f***ing good hiding, as a bare minimum. A brick through their car window would also be richly deserved.

Parking in a parent and child space, maybe just a deep, deep scratch down the side of their car. Hopefully an expensive and very noticeable one.

I think that’s harsh. Sometimes I’m in a rush and if there are a lot of spare spaces I’ll take one. If there’s only one then I’d think twice and only take it the alternative was costly.

I think just calling them a bellend under your breath is a more suitable punishment than committing criminal damage.
 
You get a parking ticket now for using the extra space bays when you dont need them; the ones with yellow stripes alongside. My colleague was fined £85. Not sure if a supermarket car park or a public carpark though.

They deserve to be inconvenienced for inconveniencing others. If these people receive no retribution they will never change.

I mean yes it’s a different matter if it’s 9pm and there are 9 free parent and child spaces out of ten in total. I think I agree that is a different matter as you’re very unlikely to be inconveniencing anyone that way.

I agree, I would never park in one without a child. With a disabled space you could genuinely be causing someone a hardship who physically needs to park there.
Some of the most self entitled people I've met are the parents who think they're the first generation of people to ever have children when in reality it's probably never been easier.
