Somebody has just triple parked me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In work the carparks are snowed over and you can't see the lines. I parked at the end of the first row of cars, another row built up behind us making two neatish lines. More cars decided to start on the other side! It's bad enough trying to get to and from work in this weather and I am supposed to finish early so I'll either have to bus it home and leave my car or wait for that p****k. SO ANGRY

Or if try work with you ask them to move their car? Someone has to know who owns it...

Happened to me in Germany, I just sat on the horn until someone appeared.

Next time it happens i'll hit the 'rape alarm' button on the remote and have a coffee somewhere.

+1, I wouldn't dream of just waiting passively until the car's owner appered.

Its been happening in blanchstown sc carpark the last 2 weekends. I nearly got blocked in because someone parked on the exit. Luckly they were in the car and I got them to move. When I did park someother fool parked there and wasn't to please when I told them they were blocking the exit. The Sister in law get blocked last saturday. Had it have been me I would have taken all necessary steps to move the vechile, legally of course, that includes putting the window in to remove the handbrake to push the car out of the way.

Wonder how hard it is to push a car with the handbrake on in weather like this?

Possibly a lot easier than it would be to stop it once you start moving it!

UPDATE- I got out! Kept a hawk eye out and when one moved I got out of there and parked elsewhere. By lunchtime there were cars 4 rows deep! Where I work there are numerous large carparks, lots of staff and visitor cars so you have no chance of finding out who owns it. I saw a few poor sods looking around bewildered when they reached their cars and realised they could have to wait all evening. Will take a photo tomorrow if it happens again!

Surely they have security? PA systems?

No solutions as far as I know. Well, you can't have people policing every car park constantly. You can't tow them as you don't know for sure which was the third car and you can't clamp them as the person in the middle will be even worse delayed.

Couldn't security just call out the reg of the offending car over pa in any buildings the owners might be in?

I was a passenger in a 1.3 Corrolla a few years ago that got boxed in by a car in front and behind parked to within and inch of the bumpers in a pub carpark. After 2 attempts to have either moved by haveign it called out on the pub pa, the driver stuck it in reverse and pushed the car behind out of the way with little effort. The car was a Mazda 6 iirc and the car park was dry.
