Your own pictures of bad parking **WITH CHAT**

Even if it was a parking space I wouldn't park a new car there or if I was precious about the paint work because thats where the dropped kerb is to allow trolleys off the pavement.

You give them far, far too much credit. It is classic Irish me Feinism. I'll park up here and f*ck everyone else.

Big signs are all well and good, but parent and child parking is merely a courtesy, not a statutory requirement.

You can't fine someone for parking in a P&C spot without an under-5 year old.

You can post pics of them up here though ;)

It's parent and child spots, not mother and child spots. Can't be discriminatory against dads.

I'd like to see the outcome too.

I've never actually seen one of those signs, or seen anyone clamped in a P&C space.

A neighbor has a story about asking a woman why she was parked in a parent and child space with no kids. She told him that she had children but they weren't with her. Then later in the supermarket she went back to to my neighbor and said look here's my son who I arranged to meet here - a kid who was 18 yo if he was a day.

Not great parking but in this instance I wouldn’t blame the driver.

I see plenty of places with signs like that, which get ignored.

Another Tesco sign which gets ignored is the drop-off/pick-up point. A short lane for cars to pull in parallel to the kerb to drop-off/pick-up. But not only do they constantly get used for parking, but the clowns park nose-to-kerb, so the rear of the car is blocking half the road lane.

Nothing is ever done. It's just allowed to happen.

Best I ever saw was in Superquinns in Lucan, circa 20+ years ago. There was a sensor on the disable parking spots, and when you drove in a loud announcement was made saying it was parking for disabled badge holders only. The amount of cars that reversed out of the spots was amazing. Simple, but effective.

That would explain it then, arrogant, ignorant scroat.

That’s impressive. Blocking access to a disabled space, on top of a zebra crossing, in the middle of the road and on top of a cone.

It does need a petrol bomb for sure.

Yaris dumped right outside the door yesterday in Lidl Donegal Town. Reduced reversing space for the Audi and blocking visibility for the Passat trying to exit.

Tesco, Clondalkin, yesterday afternoon. Parked over not one, but two disability spots for good measure.

Driver and another adult stayed in the van. Couple of teenagers jumped out of the back, and went into the shop. Came out 10 minutes later with armfuls of crisps, ice-creams, cold drinks etc.

Hard to see how they missed the bright blue "disabled parking" sign when they parked right in front of it. as well as the markings on the spaces themselves.

Some people are just assholes.

Lidl Donegal today:

Lidl, Carrick-on-Suir. If you look very carefully at the blue badge in the windscreen, you can see that it doesn't exist.
