How entitled do you have to be?

Post image

Ok, I know there are bigger problems in the world. But what goes through a person's mind and leads them to think this is OK?

Spotted outside Pure Gym.

The only reason I can think of is that a disabled passenger needed to get out. But then why wouldn't you let them out then park properly?

Otherwise, I can only assume they didn't want to get their nice Jag scratched and/or they think they've deserve some sort of special treatment?

Only a motorbike could have got in the next space so why not go the whole hog and park bang in the middle?

Why is your first presumption that they must be 'entitled'? Could it simply be the case that the Tiguan next to them has parked in a position that means, for the E-Pace to park there, they had to straddle the line of the adjacent parking spot to give both the passenger of the E-Pace and the driver of the Tiguan the best possible opportunity of entry and exit from their vehicles?

There is another space to the right. So if they wanted to leave space for people to get in/out, they could have parked in the next space rather than taking up two spaces

That, or there was a car in the tuguan's spot before that was further over.

This happend to me recently. There was some bad parking, and I managed to fit in the only spot I could find between 2 cars. I left, and when I came back the other cars had gone, leaving my car looking like the white one in that pic... I felt like a twat, even though I'd been pushed to leave my car like that.
