Parking

[hash tag]

The pavement on my street is thick with leaves at this time of year, as they are being walked on they are turning in to some kind of mud. In the next week or two the council will come and clear it off by blowing it in to the road and a road-sweeper will collect the crap, signs go you each year to move your car, always fewer than half move, the remaining ones get entirely covered in the leaf-ming. Will get some pics of this year's fun and games when the time is right.

Whats that, you don't have a garage or even a driveway

Don't be daft, I live in a private road just off this one, the council doesn't shift our leaves, I get the Bahn Brats to do that...

Would have been easy to call a few pals and push it out of the way into the sea

Probably a satnav error but fucking hell, how does that make it into the news?

Even here in Cornwall it's known for being shit. Another reach plc 'newspaper' like the mirror and express. Half of it isn't from from cornwall, about 10% is about pasties in one way or another (the writers seem to test them a lot of report on someone else doing so). 10% on ruining local beauty spots by pointing them out to everyone. Then 20% reporting on people getting mad about the fact they can't park because of it/something else about tourists, especially if they get stuck on a beach/road/path/field. The other 10% is completely random nonsense. Chatgpt 'writers' would be a huge upgrade

Mate of mine, blue badge holder no less, got an absolute river of shit and abuse from a neighbour who demanded to be able to park his three cars and a van along the street and was upset that my friend had used one of 'his' spaces by parking outside his own house. Ended up with a drunken homophobic rant which luckily was filmed and the footage passed on to the police who sent him on a 'not being a cunt' course which I'm sure worked wonders.

I live in one of three blocks of ex-council flats that surround a square where there is one parking space per flat. They originally had numbers painted in them but they have faded to near invisibility since the council don't own many of the flats and none of the landlords can be arsed to do it. I don't have a car and only some of the people who live here have one but its's always full since people from the street outside park here as well rather than on the street winding up the residents with cars and each other as well. Things get really heated at times I was woken up whilst on nights a few weeks back by a woman screaming right outside my window. Looked out the window and she was screaming at 2 blokes fighting over parking in my fucking space. I sometimes wonder if I should get a load of bricks and just dump in them what is technically my parking space.

Rent your space to a neighbour.

I manage Council estates, and this sort of thing is common - luckily I don't manage the parking so Ieave that team to sort it out

My landlord owns 5 of the 8 flats in my block, I really wouldn't want to give the grasping fucker any ideas.

The pub car park was heaving, people were parking all over the place. This was like this when I went in and was still there over an hour later

One of those silly pricks that say they have to park like that because otherwise their precious car might get a scratch on it.

It’s your civic duty at this point to also ignore the lines and park as close as you possibly can

One of the advantages of having a motorbike is that you can actually park right next to twats like the one above, where another car could not. I do this often when I see such scenarios. I ensure whenever possible I'm right by the driver's door.

Driver desserts car on road so ANOTHER road resurfacing goes unfinished

A driver who failed to move their car created a nightmare for workers who were trying to resurface a road.

I wonder what dessert they made from it? Something with CARamel, surely..

Bath, if you go there ever, just watch out as parking on a single yellow is now not allowed on a sunday and youll probably get a ticket (possibly evenings too)

Basic rule for Bath is don’t go by car.

If I leave it here long enough, will it take root and grow?

"you can't park there, sir".

Lorry ends up in field in Wiltshire as driver falls asleep

Police say the driver "somehow" avoided injury after nodding off with his vehicle in cruise control.

I am guessing that could be the end of that drivers career.

The thing about people parking like that is I so often see it when there are plenty of actual car parking spaces free and it is just some idle fucker who doesn't want to walk across the car park.

Cunt should be in prison. It is not acceptable to be in charge of a truck and not bother to wear a seat belt or to stay awake when hurtling down the M4, he could have killed so many people with his actions, yet all that happened was an on-the-spot-penalty-fine, pathetic.

I can drive there but I can also park in my mum's driveway - this isn't available to most people who visit Bath. I also have a driveway available at both of my sister's places.

Of course, driving a large Audi I just slam it in to the first disabled bay I can find, if there's two free I'll try and stick it across both.
