What do you think of people who park in parent and child places at supermarkets when they don't have any kids?

Should the supermarket have clamping security and fines?


This money could be sent to a worthy cause.


Can these type of people not bear being told what to do?What do you think of people who park in parent and child places at supermarkets when they don't have any kids?
Hey Funk





Unfortunately, i think many of these people are a representation of today's society in that they are unable to think beyond themselves, and they have absolutely no respect for a) rules, and b) others it would not be out of order to clamp their vehicles, and unless they have a very good reason, make them pay through their nostrils.





Finally, i think these are exactly the type of people who start whinging when they are caused minor inconvenience, and make the most noise in doing so, and they are probably never in the wrong either, as it's usually somebody elses fault, and they are being treated unfairly.





Thanks for your question, take care and be well.

My wife parks in these spots not because she's lazy but because she does not respect the logic behind them. Children are not the only human beings - What about the elderly or women who don't want to take the risk of parking in unsafe areas (e.g. if the only alternative is a subterranean parking area)... Where the parent and child places don't completely dominate I doubt the behaviour you are talking about would happen and people like my wife would not be enraged.





It sounds to me that you are one of ';those type of people'; that too easily lap up privileges they haven't earned. How dare you be so self righteous? Are you so selfish (assuming you are a parent) that you haven't even noticed that there are far too many of those parent and child spaces to be anything like fair!? Up the revolution... Childless people's money is as good as anyone else's!!





Incidentally I agree that disabled parking is a different issue, and feel strongly that disabled people spaces should not be used by freeloaders. After all people don't choose to be disabled but they do choose to be parents! However I do find it very bizarre that so many car parks at venues in the UK have an excess of disabled parking (i.e. there are always numerous empty disabled bays).





P.S. Larger spaces AND closer to the entrance - HELLO... Hello... What's wrong with this picture?
It's lazy and unfair and is just as bad for those of us who use disabled spaces. But supermarkets are unlikely to get heavy handed because these people are also customers. It also bugs me when people park in the drop off zone because they're too idle to walk from the proper car park.


William J, you're attitude is disgusting. I hope you don't actually have kids if you intend to raise them with such a violent way of resolving issues!
i think some people are actually missing the point.





if a parent has older children they should be parking in normal spaces.





for people with babies or young children then they should have designated spaces. not necessarily close to the entrance but just larger so it makes life easier to get the babies in and out of the car.





i mean, parents, how many of you have had to struggle to get your kids in the car after doing your shopping because some dick has parked next to you so you cant even open the door.





people, have some consideration!











as for disabled spaces, i've seen so many people use disabled spaces when they shouldnt, this is just down right unforgivable and the people doing it should be made to have a valid reason to park in a disabled spot!





at the end of the day, if they aren't meant to park in either space then there should be some kind of penalty regardless!





there are enough ordinary spaces to choose from, just pick one and stop hogging the ones you shouldnt be in.
I saw a woman with 3 teenage kids park in one yesterday so I did for spite!! I also have seen a mother with 2 young children park in a disabled space which was pathetic!!





No wonder children are fat, does it really matter how close you get to the front entrance, get rid of these spaces and make them all for the disabled.
As Peter Kay once said ';me and mum went to asda today, we parked in that parent and child spot. Well....i'm with me mum, they dont put an age restriction on it do they?? Its right at front of shop its bostin!';





Seriously though does it really matter?? My 2 sisters have children and they say it hardly hurts just to walk a bit further. How does being a parent give you the privillige to have dedicated spaces? Your child can still run in front of a car at the front of the shop so safety doesnt come into it. Now parking in a disabled spot is what gets me mad because those people do actually struggle to walk further.
And who chuffin made them god of all parkin spaces ...they should be lucky just to have a car ne..mind a parkin space ..............catch the bus or why not walk ...ya know ya can do it ...





Would like to add that anyone parking in disabled area should have their ball chopped these people need the added room and deserve our respect all the time
The people who park in these spaces are selfish and generally arrogant as they seem to think they can do what they want whenever they want! The supermarkets should do something about it which should put a stop to it.
just key there car if they dont have kids thats what i do its there own fukin fault if my child had an accident caused by some1 parkin in child spaces without children id probably kick them that hard in the bollox they wouldnt ever had children
Doesn't bother me.they didn't have them when my children were young and we all managed. But parking in a disability space drives me wild.
People in a hurry. No to the fines. There is enough policing going on. Leave people alone and mind your business.
Lazy and disgusting!!!
i know its annoying espeacily when u have children and cant a spare cark park space around that area they are just lazy
lazy people and also those that park in disabled bays too!
clever, never thought of that, might go and try it at asda later.
