Arrgh! Lazy People!
This has been annoying me for quite awhile. I just want to get it off my chest. I work in a business park (its the old ICI headquarters) and we are
one of the businesses that have offices here.
However what has been annoying me is the pure lazyness of some people in parking there cars. By the entrance to the building there are about 10
covered spaces. If they are full which is generally the case you have to park in a big huge car park with plenty of space about 100ft away.
Now some people as so lazy that they can't be bothered with this kind of distance and just park in the road passing the buillding on double
yellow lines! It really f**king annoys me and i keep seeing myself wrecking their cars, its not like they are visitors either as i see the same cars
many times.
The worst bit is the peeps who have their hazards on while parked there, so they know its wrong but putting them on makes it ok?
I could understand it if its an emergency etc and knowing my luck if i complained or did something like write no parking in marker on the screen it
would be on one of those cases.
My fav plan if i could be bothered is to park a car directly in front and behind so they are stuck and make them wait. But thats a bit evil i guess.
Sorry to bother you all but its nice to rant sometimes isn't it?

Would that be The Heath?
If it is, I can understand your issues. We use a supplier on there and I see examples of what you mention when I visit there.
We had an issue with a persisent problem parker by our gates to the yard at our unit. Some careful work with some chocks and a forklift and the hint
was finally taken!

Just remove the dust caps from the drivers side wheels, remove the valve cores and refit the dust caps. they should notice at least one of the flat
tyres, but the second one would really mess with their head.  
You haven't damaged the vehicle in anyway, you were just setting free the falsely imprisoned air.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

On a very similar note....
A local garage/convenience store has a big carpark to one side and the garage forecourt out front. But the main doors to the store are on the front. I
get totally miffed with lazy gets who park in front of the doors, blocking off a lane of four pumps, because they are too idle to walk the 10yards to
the carpark. Or park at the front of the ATM, on a hatched area, and block off most of the forecourt. Bastards.

In most cases even off road there are reasons for parking places and for double yellows. The main one being safety and emergency access, which would
constitute the health and safety at work act.
I would imagine a formal complaint routed through the proper channels should get a result by law.
Even if its one of those god awful super stickers on the door screens that come off in a thousand bits.

That happens in Cheetham Hill every day on the main road. Its like wacky races.
What really gets me is the people that see there's double yellows and just park on the pavement. Like that doesn't matter, despite the
fact no one can physically walk past
F'ing, lazy, fat, idle, "I don't give a sh1t about no one else", 'only child syndrome' ba5tards

I live in a terraced street and at the end of my back lane there is a church. Every Wednesday night the church hall is hired by the local "Fat
Fighters" club.
Every Wednesday night there are cars parked on both sides of the back lane, meaning we can't get down there.
You'd think if the fast batards really wanted to loose a bit of weight they wouldn't mind parking sensibly a bit further away and
walking?
Rant over

i got home from work today to find cars parked on double yellows blocking my drive, after some honking one moves so i could just get up the drive over
the garden. I thought going out and taking photo's of the number plates, with the double yellows would be enough to make them move, but the
woman in one car got out and started mouthing off mr police was called, and the photo of angry woman passed on to them!

Arrgh! lazy People
Met an elderly gent a few years ago, got upset with people in handicapped spots, he couldn't get his wheel chair off the side lift. I gave him a
hand and asked if there was anything else I could do (Police Officer), he said he would look after it and took a BB pellet from his pocket and placed
it under the tire valve cap and put the cap back on, then went to the second tire on that side and did the same then rolled off in his chair.

ooh I like the bb pellet idea! maybe for the future?
Yep its the Heath in Runcorn, quite a good place really we have just moved there from a tiny place in comparison.
TBH i may report it to security but i know that they know as i have seen them around the cars and have left something by the windscreen. Not had any
effect.
Oh well at least there is plenty of parking, my wife works at a call centre and that is just manic, nowhere near enough spaces!

The Police are just as bad in my area. A few times I've seen a marked Police car parked on double yellows, on the corner of a junction
overlapping a bus stop, with a uniform coming out of the shop carrying a pasty or something.
