There isn't always enough spaces to go round?

If someone parks across 2 bays surely the easy solution to 'get it up them' is just to do likewise by parking in half the bay they are already using and half the next one?

That way you are just as close as you would be had they parked properly and they can't really have any complaints as you have only done the same as them.

I only park in car parks that are never likely to be full and therefore I am not doing anyone out of a space😀

Another parking one is folk who think they actually own the piece of road outside their house. Had a very nice lady once tap on my window to tell me that I couldn't park as her husband was due home and I was in "his space". I know we all like to park close but if someone beats you to it then nowt you can do. A rather ironic post I know given my inconsiderate parking over two spaces in car parks 😁

It's not that simple - there isn't always enough spaces to go round cos loads of dafties cant park in a single space.

:agree: Absolutely. Knocking on the window at you and everything.

I usually take up more room than I need just to really piss them off. :greengrin

When Americans make up unneccessary stupid words when we already have perfectly adequate ones for the purpose. I mean, normalcy?? Was there something wrong with the word normality??

I've been listening to lots of American podcasts lately and the one I keep hearing is oftentimes??? What is that all about?

They also seem to struggle with the word supposedly, which often gets pronounced with a B in it.

Why also do many Americans pronounce foreign words with an accent? It sounds bizarre to say an entire sentence in your own accent but say one word in an Italian or French accent.

That seems like a totally different thing to taking up 2 spaces in a car park. Hang on, no its just same. Maybe even worse.

Or you could just park somewhere else?

Please enlighten us.

I just parked across 2 spaces this morning at Argos in Livingston to see what it felt like.

It does make you feel more superior and deserving :greengrin:
Now , where's my Pringle jumper

The amount of numbers I need to remember when filling up with fuel and buying lunch from a petrol station.
Pump number
PIN number for fuel card
Mileage
PIN number for credit card

It wouldn't be the first time I have given my mileage when they ask for the pump number :greengrin:

Still on the petrol stations ....
The fact I always get out my car , walk round to my fuel cap only to remember that I have to go back into the car to pull the wee petrol cap switch .

Pulling the bonnet catch switch instead on the petrol cap switch :greengrin:

Tyre pressure warning lights and sensors. GTF.

Im going out to bash a few doors this avo. After all, car owners should expect others to carelessly damage their stuff. Don't understand why people care about their belongings.

Everyone should park over 2 spaces. Would love to see you reaction when there's no space to abandon your motor.

If you have a fuel card like I do why would you need to use a credit card?

Edit: Just noticed your lunch :-)
