It only takes one person to go over the white line and a whole row of tight parking spaces are even tighter. As said supermarket carparks are the worse for this but the other carpark at Hexham has loads of traffic wardens and drivers know they could possibly get a fine for going over the white line so there never seems this problem in that carpark which i use every time i visit there yet the tourists grumble and say i aint paying £1.20 for three hours, i think that is cheap, infact i know it is cheap as city centre parking or parking in tourist places like Devon is expensive so i have heard.

The main issue though if carparks were more user friendly and better laid out and if drivers showed consideration these problems would not arise, when ever i take mum there she always moans because i do not park in the Tesco but the store is only across the road from the pay carpark, she loves that Tesco as it is a superstore with a huge clothes department, I look around town and she spends two hours in Tesco.

Glad I'm not the only one that seems to attract others when I park with empty spaces all around me

We pick up our new (to us) C4 Grand Picasso today. It is 3 yeas old and immaculate.  I bet this post is still running when we get our first car park scrape!

Makes my blood boil.

I had the same a couple of years ago at our local Sainsburys, to make it even more annoying I was in disabled parking.

Do have a good look under your car the impact had actually cracked my petrol tank even though externally there was just a crack in the bumper.

What I hate is when you hear a parent tell their very young children to get into the car in the supermarket car park, why on earth they cannot use abit of common sense and open the door for the kids to avoid the door pranging into the car parked next to them. It does make my blood boil!

I always park as far as humanly possible away from the shops ,but you can be sure when you come out ,some twit has parked right next to you :(

I am a magnet for other lonley people!!! seriously could leave my car in the middle of nowhere and would return to find someone parked next to me. brand new car 2nd day of owning it. left in large space at cinema returned to find dent on door gutted.  parked at supermarket 6.30 in the morning virtually empty returned to see very large gentleman trying to squeeze himself out of car  door  parked so close to me. absolutely lost it with him poor guy looked scared to death. seriously why in an empty car park would you park so close you physically could not exit your vehicle.  oooh that was cathartic feel better now xxxxxx
