Wouldnt park in a disabled space, but would happily block the entry/exit route from the store to the car park

Within feet of each other. Taxi driver was sitting in car awkwardly parked on hatching on the inside of a tight-ish, blind-ish corner making it a little bit more of each despite a multitude of spaces being available just next to him.

Getting a bit out of line at Dunnes Ballyvolane

Unable to fit your tiny car inside one oversized disabled space - no bother, take two instead. To be fair, they did at least have a badge displayed 🙄
Bronze CW-reg Kia 2 rows back and the red Insignia to the right also weren't quite able to get it 100% correct

Not the worst offender ever, but a good 3 feet from the bumper to the kerb.

Return to the test centre please.

Lovely day out, don’t mind me parking in a disabled bay so me * my misses can have a fag outside the car… Definitely did not have a badge or someone with a disability, hidden or not…

At the Forty Foot, because leaving the disabled parking bay clear would have been just too hard.

Cant decide which one suits best?

This took a lot of manoeuvring. It came along by my car just after I had parked, drove into the row in front of the one I was in, and there it is.
I am not sure what they were aiming for but it definitely was not to get between the white lines. 😂

Got a critical business meeting in Lidl? No spaces provided outside the door for a person as important as you?
Park on a junction, nobody’s using it on a Sunday, bonus points if you can combine this with parking on a pedestrian crossing.

Le sigh.
