Oh, I did that the other week. It was quite late (about 9pm or so) and I'd been picking someone up from the airport and they wanted to stop and get some milk at the local supermarket. Bearing in mind this is a pretty quiet country village, it was after 9 at night, the car park was just about empty so I kind of abandoned the car across two spaces. Person I am with gets out and goes into shop. Cue an immediate influx of about 20 cars from nowhere (I think they were hiding in the bushes waiting for me) and lots of Paddington Hard Stares as I sit in the car cringing.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post8. People who take up two spaces in a carpark ON PURPOSE.
I won't ever do it again, I promise.
