Baby parking

[Dibby]

I could post a picture of her van in the baby space if you really want bob? If that’s such a must to the story.. because it shows her in a hashed space.. which her van isn’t allowed in.. would that be fair?

We still wouldn't know her version of events, maybe she parked there because it was safer than parking in the road or somewhere else for loading. Perhaps she was considering her safety over your kids safety, just as you prioritise the opposite way.

However, I think the point Bob is making is that if 2 people have a disagreement, there are always 3 stories, Person A's version, Person B's version and the truth of the matter.

I would never agree to anyone parking in a disable bay without a blue badge

The car park was pretty rammed.. and the fact we saw the lady going back to her van after finishing then was just doing stuff at the stall

She could have easily moved the van and left her assistants arranging flowers that were now out of the van

There was one further space we were trying to get in right next to her stall however the van was so long it blocked access to that aswell. So blocked 2 last baby spaces just because she couldn’t park considerately

Ok , can i ask a question??

how come you didn't reply to any of the posts i quoted you in, but did the one that wasn't aimed you??

Because i was out at the time I replied to bobs and if you read the bit after it I answered your post at the same time
It wasn’t personal

Well, just to be different, our newest local supermarket has designated the spaces nearest to the doorways for electric car charging points... Which remain resolutely empty and therefore no help to anyone...

All new shopping centres could solve the issues by just making the spaces have little hashed off bits either side not massively like you see in disable bays or parent bays but like you do at Costco

Prob per row of cars you would miss out one space so say 15 cars per car park

It however would be so much better for everyone

You could, would it have an interview with her explaining why she did what she did?

You're missing the point that it's perspective. We are seeing your perspective of the event. No one doubts she was parked in a place she shouldn't be, but we don't know why, or anything that led to her making this decision. Maybe she thought you were rude pestering her. Maybe she didn't feel how she acted was rude.

I go back to the last point of my quote, 3 stories, you think you were right, she no doubt thinks she was right, and the truth which is unknown because we only have one side of the information.

fair enough, but that isn't strictly true you relied to about 5 other post and only mine which wasn't aimed at you just reiterating about society in general after a few pages, but don't worry i don't hold a grudge

The two new Tesco stores in Inverness have both put the P&C spaces away from the door, these are on the far end with a walkway to the store, and funnily enough you never see a car in any of them, the ordinary spaces are closer by the way.... can't say the same for the disabled though.

In any situation if anyone upsets or speaks down to my wife they are in the wrong and I’ll have a word with them about themselves

Perhaps the real answer would be to make the parking spaces in car parks bigger full stop.
Whilst the pram and child spaces werent around when mine when young, I see them as a benefit and hope ALL the cars with young children use them so as to minimise the chances of having my car bashed by their cars doors being forced as open as far as they can so they can get their child out.
Just as this van driver has caused an issue, likewise the school runs where the cherubs have to be dropped right outside the school front door blocking the whole road.......
We all have to give and take, lifes too short

I would've been annoyed as you were but not said a word, far too polite (cowardly).

We have people who park in disabled spaces at our gym, imagine getting to the gym as someone who needs a space and not being able to park. Selfish, just so their pristine cars don't get scratched, same as those who park across two bays in car parks.

I have to admit I always used to let it slide but since having a child even when she’s not with me if I see someone misusing a baby space I will most likely tell them because you see the poor mothers struggling in normal spaces because of mr I got a nice car I don’t want anyone near it

I agree as I said before all car parks should be like Costco

As someone who
a. Doesn't have kids
b. Doesn't drive to the supermarket, and
c. Only walks to the supermarket if I really, really, have to
and therefore officially fall into the "don't give a toss either way" category, I have to say that was one heck of a thread ....

Least your not a dick with your views about it lol

At the end of the day anyone parking in an area designated, lawfully or not, to another section of society is simply being an inconsiderate jerk
But it should come as no surprise.
Consideration for others comes a long way down on most people's lists.
Our local Tesco has put up huge No Parking signs along a section close to the shop to keep it clear so people don't get slaughtered by the racing drivers who think 30 is a satisfactory speed for a packed car par.
Every time I go there I see at least 3 cars parked under these signs but nobody seems to give a damn so it will continue.
