Rant 318 13/11/12 Subject: Inconsiderate parking

Rant number 318

Where I live, I am located within a little compound/carpark area (in a building by the way, I'm not like -sitting in a carpark in my underwear, waving at passers by and laughing maniacally. Not till later on anyway...)

The exit (which is also the entrance) to the carpark, opens upon a vein which joins two of the main drags in/out of huddersfield. As such - it's a pretty busy strip of road.

Coming out of the car park should be pretty easy though. You just need to wait for a gap in the traffic, and nip out.

Except for all the stupid fuckers who keep parking on the corner of the street.

It just is ridiculously inconsiderate - and makes pulling out a pretty bloody tough job. You can't see to the left - and so you have to poke your bonnet out - hoping that you don't whack into anyone in the process. Surely there is somewhere else these people can park there cars, like at the bottom of a river for instance.

I am mired with these parking maladies on a nearly daily basis.

Another example presented itself today when I was commuting to work. The car in front of me needed to turn right and so he moved to the centre of the road to wait for a gap in the traffic. He was doing completely right - thats what the refuse in the road is for after all.

I should have been able to continue down the left hand side at pace- whilst he went off to wherever right based place he was off to was. I bloody well couldn't though, because some knob head had parked their bloody car there.

To the world in general - and particularly to knob heads a message:

Just because there are not double yellow lines, it doesn't mean you should park there.
Not parking by a corner or on a busy main road at rush hour is common sense and shows consideration for your fellow road users - which is good.
Parking by a corner or on a busy main road at rush hour is really shitty, inconsiderate behaviour and quite frankly makes you a bit of a total knob head.

Don't do it people!

That is all.

Rant over.
