Anyone else have where you park away from everyone else in say a Sainsbury's car park and even though there are plenty of spaces some jerk parks right up tight to you. Really pees me off

Winds me right up too, I circle the entire place and park as far away from people as possible and come back and someone's next to me and the joke is the rest of the car park could be empty too.

Nah, that only goes for folk who park in the disabled spaces when they shouldn't.

All car park spaces should be family-space size.
What? Don't folk without children in the car, open the doors to exit and enter their car?
Is it in through the window, Dukes of Hazard style, for the basic car park space user?

UK car parking spaces haven't kept pace with increased car size, imo!

When I park way out, isolated, and someone does park near/next to me, it's always a really nice car - I think it's more like "circling the wagons" to stay safe :D

I use parent/child spaces... but I do have a 2yo. Lost count of the amount of times I have had dirty looks/comments but they soon look away sharpish when I lift my little girl out of the back.

I used to use the parent spots (pre having a child) when I had a TVR Cerbera as it was the only way I could get out of the car as the doors were so wide!

I've had a few unusual cars prior to the Mustang and always had great pleasure in parking in the parent spots, seeing I was being given the death stare and then lifting my daughter out of her car seat much to the annoyance of the death stare busybody!

Mustang GT Manual 2017 - now sold ☹
Best time to do the shopping with the Mustang is when it's totally pissing down, parking at the far end of the car park and absolutely no one parks next to me :) Leather seats dry out quick so meh. But aye, any other time I park miles away I come back and there's a car parked next to me and a hundred other spaces free. Does my head in, why not park with a bay in between us ya fugging rocket!

Yep get it quite often worst one was in Dunhelm /Homebase in Harlow car par was fairly empty on a Sunday morning and there is a strip of spaces at the back must be at least 50 spaces in a row I parked roughly in the middle no other car in this row at when I came out of Homebase a Focus RS was parked really close in the next bay the only two cars in the whole row of 50 spaces Luckily I had reversed into the space but had to pull forward to let Clair into passenger side lol if Id have pulled in not sure I could have got in the car to move it lol

if i go to the shops in the pony, i tend to take my daughter with me and park in P&C bay, i get death stares from other parents until i pull her out the back! smug mode! the ASDA by me has recently upgraded their standard spaces into wider spaces so its more comfortable now.

Personally I know what a nightmare it is loading kids in and out so I would never park in the parent and child spaces unless I have a baby or toddler in the car.
In fact when I saw someone park solo in the kid spot last week I pulled my banger Volvo up so close to their drivers door that the wing mirror was nearly touching. I then asked my 3 yr old to open her door wide which she did so I guess it made a decent mark.
