Car Park Driving

    This is something that is really getting to me lately, please tell me I'm not the only one! I know it seems trivial but there is so much about people's driving in car parks that is driving me demented.

    I understand when a car park is empty people drive against the arrows and cut across all the spaces as short cuts. This doesn't annoy me so much.

    It's when the car park is jam packed and you're driving around obediently following the arrows, you spot a space, you drive around for it, and some ignorant d*ck has cut up the wrong way, to get to it ahead of you, and takes the space.

    People driving against the arrows in general though, leaving you both stuck facing eachother not being able to move until someone concedes and reverses back. This is really starting to annoy me too!

    And cars throwing themselves out in front of you when reversing out of their parking space just so that they don't have to wait for you to pass. If you reverse slowly out I will actually wait for you and let you out, but if you speed back out out of nowhere there's a good chance of a collision.

    I can't be the only one being driven demented by this, right? I encountered a lof of this behaviour over the weekend, maybe that's why I'm so bothered at the moment.

    Yep... that and parking in the disabled spaces, or the spaces reserved for parents with small children (generally wider and closer to the door).

    "Couldnt be bothered walking an extra 20 yards so I'll take this spot reserved for someone who would be considerably more inconvenienced walking that distance"

    Couldn't agree more. It does my head in when people drive the wrong way in a car park. Particularly in Liffey Valley as the spaces are diagonal so if I see a space I drive the proper way around to park only to see someone take it from driving down the wrong way and park at a mad angle crossing every line.

    Had a recent argument with someone coming out the one way entrance to the car park. It was 5pm so the car park was busy so I let him have it.:D
