Whoever indicates appropriately is the winner. But then I do believe than there are certain cars which offer indicators as an optional extra!

lol I couldn't agree more!!

Buddy, and no offence meant , anyone who pulled that stunt on me would be walking on crutches for at least a month.

Hove: nautical term

4. past tense and past participle hove Nautical
a. To move in a certain direction or to a specified position: The frigate hove alongside.
b. To pull at or haul a rope or cable: The brig is heaving around on the anchor.
c. To push at a capstan bar or lever.

Just hope you never meet me buddy.

Right this is about to turn into something it's not.
I was merely asking people was I in the wrong or was he just being an asshole.
The majority of replies I got were from people up on a moral high horse because I mentioned the fact he is Polish.
It was a question about a parking space & driving etiquette, not about racisim.

there, you said the P word again, for gods sake it was only a parking space his nationality surely doesn't have anything to do with it???? you need to stop being so narrow minded
:pac: :pac::pac:

The edge is getting closer

Yeah. And what have you got against delivery drivers? They're only trying to earn a living. :mad:

mac123 · 09-04-2009 03:39PM

i do it in college from time to time. its not really stealing though, i wouldnt take one if someone was waiting with the indicator on but if i see someone heading for a space il put the foot down and get there first!
also if they have the indicator on but there facing the wrong way on a oneway system il head up the right way and nip in ahead of them...fair game in my opinion.

Are you calling them "Mr PC" or just signing your post?

easyeason3 · 09-04-2009 04:38PM

Had to venture out into the big bad world & guess what? My parking space got robbed!!!!
As I was reversing into it a nippy toyota starlet came within a whisper of hitting me so they could steal my space.
Karma :rolleyes:

Mc Love · 09-04-2009 04:44PM

Love doing this, its hilarious!

People get so riled up. Did at a shopping centre one day, there was this couple and they just stopped in the middle of road, no indication or reverse lights on, so i zoomed in and took the spot. they stayed there looking at me, few onlookers thought it was hilarious too.

Too slow imho!

If he was waiting over half an hour for that particular space he's clearly a moron.

So how did he know it would eventually become a parking space? Do Poles have crystal balls?

*Er no...Not quite what I meant!*

Anyway. Irish parking spaces for Irish people I say;)

Why was it relevant that the delivery driver was Polish?

In other news, 2 people have words over a parking space. Pictures at 11.

Its very important to establish the nationality of the van driver, being Polish he probably had a swan or two in the back - pecking the arse off the little red head teen he stole from her Irish BF.

These things are very important.

To park your car in London's Soho costs 20p for three minutes, which is £4 per hour and at this stage is more than the minimum wage. There are people working in McDonalds in Soho who can look out the window and see parking meters earning more than they are

Tar.Aldarion · 09-04-2009 07:03PM

I would have just let him the deliver his swans to the nearby polish shops.

Can you tell me why people keep mentioning swans? I don't follow it at all & a previous post said something about kidnapping a girl with red hair.
Seriously what is the story?

xOxSinéadxOx · 09-04-2009 07:17PM

If they don't indicate they lose, even if it's obvious. no indicator - too bad

The whole swans gig is to do with an incident a few months back where polish living in britain kept taking swans out of the nearby river to eat them which led to local authorities placing signs like this

No%20Swan.jpg

At the edge of the river in an effort to cut down on the swan-snacking. Hence all the 'hilarious' jokes about the eating habits of polish immigrants.

my dictionary had a different meaning:D

loobylou · 09-04-2009 07:52PM

Now I'm really confused.... for years I've wondered why Irish people never use indicators and here I find that indicators actually give them the right to do whatever they want... WTF?

FlutterinBantam · 09-04-2009 07:54PM

You are getting the message...first is was an "old biddy" now it's a lady.

Well done, now if you didn't laugh in her face and tell her to" Fcuk off"I might even be on your side.;)

One day I was driving around for near on 15mins looking for a space. As I was driving slow (about 10mph) a car started to reverse out just as I passed so I immediately stopped as the following car was at a good 10 car lengths behind. I ended up one space in front of the car reversing and put on the indicator. They reverse out and the wanker behind then proceeds to move right up blocking the space even though I am stopped with the indicator. I beep the horn and he doesnt budge so I get out of the car and ask him to reverse back so I can get in and he being a prick wont so the only thing to do was to get back in the car and reverse right up to his front bumper giving him no chance to manoeuvre around even if he had of wanted. By this stage about another hald a dozen cars had joined the que and the bollox eventully relented and backed up effing and blinding out of him. Suffice to say I got my space. The messed up thing was that the bollox didnt even want the space !

If you're bored drive to busy car park, find a spot and park. Oh have a pack of chewing gum in the glove box. Get out and the hold the boot open and wait for someone to start driving up. Close the boot and get in the driver's door. Hopefully they have stopped and are waiting now. Get back out with your gum and announce yourself "I knew they weren't in the boot." Walk off.

repeat till bored.

This reminds of an incident my old boss told me about once.
He drives a big Merc, he was once waitihg to get this space after the other car left!
He started to reverse in and this lad zoomed in with a little sports car, the lad jumps out of the car and laughts and says to my boss "you've got to be young and quick to do that!"

My boss carried on reversing and wrecks the sports car and said " you've got to be old and rich to do that!"

Stealing/ driving into a parking space???
