I would not take up two if spaces were limited. Why would i take up two if there were plenty? Because I could bet my house on the next vehicle arriving would be a mum in a SUV full of kids that has 50 spaces available but parks next to me! |

Yes. If you rock up to your local Repco, Bunnings or what have you in the middle of the day and there's hardly anyone around then sweet, take up a couple of spaces. It's only usually a quick trip anyway. If somebody felt the need to be a dick (top of the list generally hiluxes and patrols) and parked in such a way to cause interference then yes its absolutely fair enough that they should be "spoken to". Half the time they're cowards anyway.

Why should anyone provide you with amply sized parking space.
Surely its the prerogative of the business how they paint lines on their paving! If you choose to park there take your chances! Oh but you cry about standards getting smaller. Actually they seem to have got bigger, of course some may nit be building to standards and that contravenes building codes and can be called out. But who's going to do that! When the internet is there to whinge too. JP |

Wish we had trailer bays in Perth, you're well up the creek if you go to Bunnings here at the wrong time. Just won't happen. Having said that, parking spaces seem to be getting shorter too, anything more than a corrola and the car is sticking out beyond the line marking.

I'm increasingly mystified as to how someone telling a story about a 4wd squeezing into the last space beside someone who was taking up two spaces seemed like a good invitation to tell a story about how furiously one would wave their dicks around should someone do the same thing to them were they taking up two spaces in an empty car park.
And the ones calling them out on it are the "keyboard warriors"??? ![]() |

You can always fit your car in. No matter how small they make the spaces.

For those who haven't seen it, I think it really does "Make Carparking Great Again..."

Half the bays around here are taken up by pointless 'greenery spaces' (ie a plot full of compost, with no plants in sight)

![]() Most people don't get it - they think that having $300,000 for a car means that you could easily afford a premium respray. But it ain't so. Last edited by Silver'; 22-11-2016 at 12:35 AM. |

Many people with $$$ cars don't look after them/ can't afford to maintain them/ lease the cars to begin with. Wealth is pure perception but costs a lot to pull off properly.
