A think I thought today was why do people without children insist on using the parent and child spaces?
This makes me mad! As I finished my weekly shop and walked back to the car today, we were nearly run over by a crazy loon in his Suzuki Swift. he had his wife in the front, granny in the back and an empty child seat! There were empty disabled spaces so if they had any disabilities between them they could have used one of those spaces but NO they use the parent and child space!
Well I couldn't help myself! "excuse me" I said " you do realise these spaces are for people with children?" Blank looks followed by " we have the car seat" "yes but no child" I replied. The answer to this is too impolite to repeat but frankly Mr "We have a car seat" park somewhere else!!!!!!
People like me with little ones need the extra space to open our doors so we don't bash other peoples cars, it is not the convenience of being close to the store that is necessary. People who use the spaces unnecessarily are selfish arrogant oafs (in my humble opinion!)
I think Mr supermarket needs to rethink parent parking and maybe issue some kind of sticker you can put in your car - I know this costs money and man power to Police it but maybe it would help???? then again maybe I live in a little fantasy land of my own????
About Me
- A Think I Thought Today
- Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!
Grrrr! I had a boy racer almost run me and the wee one down on a crossing yesterday, he was so incensed that he'd had to stop to let us finish crossing that he wheel spun away - TWAT!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I recall having a toddler and a baby seat and following a middle aged lady through the Sainsbury's carpark to the parental parking spaces. To my horror she pulled into a space, so I pulled up behind her and got out of my car, explaining the very same, that these spaces are here for a reason! She told me to get a life! I then proceeded to the nearest space, parked my vehicle, and continued with my shopping!! I bumped into her in ailse 3 or 4, and stalked her throughout the supermarket making sure i was in every aisle she turned into!! I was incensed and very cross, and only stopped when my then 2 year old said "Mummy your scaring me!"
ReplyDeleteI think the term is NUTTY MUMMY!!
