they havn't even bothered to borrow any kids to bring! Have you ever tried to install a wriggly toddler into his bracket through an almost closed
door?? And just because you are sat in the car with the engine running, doesn't mean you can still park there. And don't get me started on
folks pulling up in the disabled bays and running off down the road......

There were no such thing as family bays when my kids were small, so what's the big deal.
I thought disabled had equal rights now, so why haven't they got an equal right to fight for a parking space the same as I have to.?

IM SURE IF YOU TAKE THERE DISABILITY THEY WOULD FIGHT TO GIVE YOU THERE SPACE
I think it's ridiculous that there is a need to discriminate between disabled/family parking spaces and the ones for the rest of us.
How many times have you had your car binged by another door or shopping trolley cause they're parked to close together. Have you seen a car
reversed parked and the occupants loading the boot with items that are lying on the bonnet of the car behind and that's just the start of my list
of gripes.
You'll see the "park at your own risk" signs that make the park owners exempt from paying for any damage to cars. Untill they pay for
any damage to cars then I'll park where I want (except disabled). Familly spaces should be allocated as far away from the shop as possible. The
walk would tire the little buggers out and maybe they'd behave better in the store
And another thing can anyone answer a question.
Do multistorey car parks count the disabled spaces when they're signs say "spaces"??
If you go into a packed one and the only spaces left are disabled then that's a problem. Also the cars that use 2 bays to park should be towed
away and crushed
Rant over
The misuse of disabled and family parking spaces simply reflects the selfish nature of an ever increasing number of people toady.
These are the same sort of people who continuously complain about being caught on speed cameras or getting parking tickets.
Just because you do not understand the need for a family parking space does not mean that it should not exist, or that you have the right to ignore
the needs of others.

'Tourettes you c*nt, now f*ck off!'
Does it specify anywhere that you must have a child in tow to park in a family bay?
Not in my local Waitrose it doesn't. But then again you dont get many kids in Waitrose, I guess thats part of the choice, have children and shop
at Iceland or remain childless and enjoy Waitrose and M&S.... Damn, I'm such a snob

If they ask you what you are doing parking in the mother and child bay unaccompanied just burst into tears and cry " I've lost my mummy", that should get you off.

Not all young people are bad! I'll admit many are, but my friends, and me, at least are generally considerate and polite. I do know what you all mean though, as my friends and I are often gripping about the same things you "older" generations are!
The biggest problem is the car park owners. They try to cram as many vehicles as possible into the space available, instead of making an individual space wide enough to park a car and open the doors fully. It is the same with house builders that build a garage that you can get a car in but then can't get out of, because you cannot open the doors!

As far as disabled spaces go, I never park in them either, and I have no problem with allocating a small number of spaces for the use of people with genuine MOBILITY problems.
He guys.
Keep up.
It only started with the room in the parkingplaces, cheer up!
Locost's don't need much room and there are NO doors to scratch
So....
My mother is disabled by getting no air.
I think she needs an disabled parkingplace.
But here in Holland are no places where 20 parkingplaces are for the disabled
So the rest of the people:
Try to find one
And by the way there is plenty of room in the world. Don't be shi...... Move to the country-side
