Inconsiderate parkers
I'M writing about inconsiderate parking - sorry, I know its been done before. This morning whilst parking in Tesco car park - I yet again struggled to find somewhere suitable as parent and baby spaces were full again. I parked in a space where I struggled to get out but had left lots of room to get my three month old baby out and pram. When I returned someone had parked at a stupid angel so I couldnt get baby back in the car!
I had to ask a random stranger (and pray they were not a baby snatcher) to watch my pram and baby whilst I backed the car half way out of the space before getting her in! I don't understand why people are so inconsiderate. Do they not care about their own cars? Do they really not care about other people? Why do they think they can do this with no respect for anyone else is beyond me! Im not a perfect parker or driver but I do have that thing called 'consideration for others' I would like to see how they would react if someone blocked them in!

I have the same problem. Some people take the "Parent and Child" too literally. These designated spaces are designed for shoppers with babies or toddlers, not people with teenage children. We started parking in disabled bays which had a knock on problem. Perhaps Tesco need to set an age limit for children say under 5s which might free up some of the spaces

What about people who just need more space to get out of the car?. I have elderly grandparents who i take shopping and this doesn't entitle me to park closer as they aren't entitled to disabled badges and they certainly aren't a baby or toddler. The argument could go on forever.

You have got to come to the conclusion that most people today are inconsiderate to others & could not give a toss about anybody else.

Well my wife parked at Tesco this morning with our 5 week old baby and got a ticket because the new sensor system thinks she got there 90 minutes before she did. Has anyone else suffered from this new system today?
