One of my biggest bugbears is bad parking but this did make me laugh. How on earth did many of those drivers end up thinking their parking was ok?

If you're on Twitter have a look at @YPLAC.
Cock-eyed parking annoys me something chronic wherever it is. The car park may be empty, but it shows a rather selfish attitude.
Some deliberately straddle the line to stop others using the adjacent bays, but some people are incapable of parking straight. I once watched a young chap zoom into a bay and start to walk away with his car at about 30 degrees off, so its nose and tail were blocking the next bays.
I light-heartedly said 'cor, you not leaving it like that are you?' and he looked back and said 'Oh, I see what you mean' and got back in to park better.
I walked off, but the next time I passed the bay his car was even worse!
And for those who have never visited the YPAC website just be aware that, as they say on the telly, "contains very strong language"
The C is that very naughty word for a certain part of the female anatomy that is also applied to persons of a particularly annoying, unpleasant or stupid nature.
Still no excuse for not being able to fit a car between two white lines
Haha, yes I forgot to mention - don't go there if easily offended
what so if yours was the only car in a car park big enough for 100 you would bother to get in perfectly
Absolutely yes I would. Bad parking is one of the things that winds me up more than anything and I couldn't not park properly, even if I was the only person in the car park. Plus, just because it's empty now, it might get busier later
I would too. It's a matter of not being selfish and of pride, but obviously you wouldn't understand that. Who's to know that the car park wouldn't suddenly fill up while you're away and someone might need that space?
Nah, sod 'em eh? I'm alright Jack
Back on Topic.
I always to park as straight & between the lines as I can. I pride myself on being able to do it. Some of those pictures in the Daily Mail are stupid.
Would really leave your car on a bollard or a wall? Surely not. Would surprise me if the Mail did it themselves to get a story.
Car Parking
The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 19.36m (63ft 2ins), equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs. Elizabeth Simpkins, driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova 'Swing' on 12th October 1993. She started the manoeuvre at 11.15am in Ropergate, Pontefract, and successfully parked within three feet of the pavement 8 hours 14 minutes later.There was slight damage to the bumpers and wings of her own and two adjoining cars, as well as a shop frontage and two lamp posts. .:p:D
