What is it about Lidl that attracts people who park like idiots ?

Only the farthest couple of cars in the row pictured are in proper parking spots .

The car park was pretty empty .

See below for a google maps image showing designated parking spots .(yellow line shows where the idiots park )

Google streetview from 2009 ( parking is still the same :rolleyes: )

It's an every day occurrence :mad:

This place never fails to deliver. The owner was inside eating. It wasn't an emergency or anything like that.

Parked between the stop sign and the corner (a busy corner on a 4 way junction).

Second one is across the same junction.

Must have been some bad parking as both these Tesla’s were clamped whilst recharging on Earlsfort Terrace.

Woodies in Swords yesterday, there was a French Alfa (oddly a right hand drive though) taking up 2 spaces, so I said I'd take a photo on my way out for here, When I came out the Alfa was gone, but it was replaced with this Range Rover!

The good weather means carparks like Woodies are usually fairly busy!

The car on the other side of the Fiesta wasn't parked stupidly or anything so there was no reason for this. Other than a faulty brain.

Last year in Lidl. Couldn't even open my door enough to try and squeeze in, had to climb over from passenger side. Was still in car posting my rant and picture on twitter when the driver came back to his car. The place wasn't even full, I always park well away from the door to try stop people parking near me. Knew exactly what he'd done based on how he looked at me..and based on the state of his bumper, parking not exactly his strong point.

Last December, I arrived out of supervalu in athlone to see this landcruiser cutting it very fine when pulling in beside my car. Luckily no damage done.

The best bit about this photo of some selfish dick blocking the pedestrian section of the car park at SuperValu Ballinteer is that it was taken by my teen and passed on, because she knows I get it.

Old Mary must have been scared she was going to scuff her alloys. I thought she was getting out to check something but no, off she toddles into the shop. Couldn't be sure whether she had a disabled badge or not

I dont think anyone will beat this man. Left the jeep with boat on trailer and just f.. off somewhere, not a chance to get out from this area of carpark. Seen women waiting 30 minutes for him to comeback. Then he lets her go out by reversing and parking back the car where he was, and.... f.. off again. Genius.

There's a walkway from the door to the disabled and parent/child spaces where this eejit abandoned their car while there were free spaces within 15 feet.
