I can’t remember where I saw this but I remember reading a story about a woman with a newborn baby. She was indicating to turn into a parent space when some child free twat nipped past her, giving her a cheery wave when she yelled at him.
She parked her car behind his, blocking him in, got the baby out, went into the shop and told them what she’d done. She told them they’d find her in the cafe, feeding the baby. Then she did about a month’s worth of shopping.
The bloke came out, found her car blocking him in and complained to the staff in the shop, who told him to do one and maybe he’d not be so selfish next time. She was there 3 hours and he’d only nipped in for fags.
He's a dick but that doesn't justify what she did mind. He should have slashed her tyres and put her windows out.
In the same way a normal person like you or me doesn’t need to be near the front of the store.Said this numerous times when this has come up.
Parent and child spaces do NOT need to be near the front of the store. They NEED to be wide enough so you can get a carry seat in/out without dinging cars and space so you can manoeuvre other kids safely.
People (kernts) wouldn't be tempted to park in them if they weren't so conveniently positioned.
If I had it within my power, I'd fine anyone for improper use of a disabled/parent and child bay. A lot.
Might make them think about being a selfish prick next time

However, I’d be happy to wager accidents in car parks will rise if you have everybody from parent/child bays having to cross the car park to get to the store. Car parks are hazardous enough as it is with adult shoppers with trolleys without throwing in pushchairs & unpredictable children.
Good on you. I hate it.Called some woman out on it at Roker Lidl the other week like. I'd parked in a normal space as I didn't have the bairn with me.
After putting my trolley back she was filling up her boot, on her own, asked her if she knew it was a parent & child space she was parked in.
"I do yes"
"Just you've not got a child with you that's all"
"Erm, erm"
"..."
"My husband and child were with me when I got here but they've gone somewhere else"
"Yeah course they were"
"Why don't you mind your own business?"
"Have a nice day"
Selfish cow
Even worse is able bodied people parking in a Disabled parking space.Called some woman out on it at Roker Lidl the other week like. I'd parked in a normal space as I didn't have the bairn with me.

The difference is that you can’t tell if a person is entitled to use a disabled space just by looking at them.Even worse is able bodied people parking in a Disabled parking space.
Its really not acceptable.
When you’ve got nee kids with you. Bit of a twats trick isn’t it?
This is true but many people entitled to use Disabled spaces display a badge in their car.The difference is that you can’t tell if a person is entitled to use a disabled space just by looking at them.
You can tell with a parent and child space.
Too many inconsiderate arseholes aboutWhen you’ve got nee kids with you. Bit of a twats trick isn’t it?
The amount of times I drive past our little Tesco and someone has either parked on the road causing a queue to get past or drove onto the grass, just because they can’t be bothered to pull into the car park. People really are bone idle.Whenever I’m back home I’ll get some shopping in for my Mam. Tesco Bishop Auckland, never seen a supermarket like it for arsehole parking. Regular cars taking the electric spaces because they’re by the door, people parking right by the doors, despite spaces being a few metres away, blocking zebra crossings, etc.
People turn into absolute ***** in supermarket car parks.
And you will usually get fined for parking in a blue badge space without one.This is true but many people entitled to use Disabled spaces display a badge in their car.
The badges have photos now.The difference is that you can’t tell if a person is entitled to use a disabled space just by looking at them.

Ah the old “let’s not make things nicer for people who come after me” statement.They are for kids who can't walk too far, helps them to keep the weight on. I had kids before there were kids parking spaces...there were no problems.
Scrap them.
I did’t realise @Big Jeff waa checking they matched as he went to Morrisons like.The badges have photos now.
