Car Park and Car Parking

I had to visit my dentist today in Bexhill, and on the sea front there is a huge car park, most be around150+ spaces at a guess.

So Sue parked well away from other cars with at least 3 spaces free either side. There was also very many empty spaces of 12 or more next to each other available on the site.

Come back from the dentist with still the same number of large spaces or 12 or more cars avaiable next to each other and what do we find? Yes cars parked close to ours in the next marked bays so it is a job to open and get in either side.

What is it with these morons that have to park next to another when there are ample spaces close by of 12 or more vacant in a row.

Are members guilty of doing the same thing?

Nope, I like room. I've noticed that people park in groups as if they're afraid their cars won't have company while they're gone.
Same on beaches if the beach is practically emptied folk will sit down next to you.

No definitely not. I'll walk an extra 100 metres if it means I can park away from others.

Security in numbers......if im parking for a short time I'll park next to another car in the hope/expectation they'll be there longer than me......why? My car is less vulnerable to the cretins who cant park.......only one side of my car will be open to attack.

Had to laugh at this because bus passengers are the same! Empty seats? Never mind, let's sit next to Jazzi!!

But no, I wouldn't park in a group. Seems daft to me.

I remember seeing a man loading his van in a B&Q car park (early in the morning so the car park was almost empty) when some elderly fella drove in and parked right behind him.

Re: Car Park and Car Parking

I tend to shop at 8am so often have the car park almost to my myself this means I don't have to do any manoeuvring, I just drive into a space which is convenient because I don't do reversing ....*runs to hide*

Re: Car Park and Car Parking

I often park my Cooper next to another one so they can be friends.
And the other one can say, "Love your colour!"
