You guys know some dodgy people - only 2 I know who use disabled spots have badges and deserve them. True about the family spaces though.

Not sure what you think I would attain from lying about the amount of spaces said monster truck is occupying, but i'll bite.

How does parking a few feet closer to the store help with anything to do with your situation?

Over reaction much?It was a reasonable post given he was having a go at people misusing disabled and parent and child spots when he was misusing one himself.
Not everything is trolling, its a discussion, people respond in discussions, its how forums work, so chill out son.
I always use the trolley as a kind of zimmer frame when I need to. It's especially hard to wheel one around and use a stick or crutches at the same time. Also, the distraction of shopping amid the herd of idiots that usually populates my local supermarkets helps to make you get on with it all.
Me too. You do get some strange looks when you take in a trolley for one or two small items, especially when you're a bloke in his 20s, but never mind.

What I hate the most is the Pacman effect, where you see someone you know.. say hi/bye and then proceed to bump in to them down every aisle where you're then forced to do an awkward smile or outright ignore them

He wasn't misusing the spot. There was a baby in the car and if he needed attention such as a nappy change then the extra space and proximity to the supermarket would have helped. He was being pre-emptive!

To be honest, i park in parent and child spaces all the time. Why should I put my self out just because someone has decided to have children.
Disabled spaces for me are a no go.

Haha, I saw a woman the other week I had sort of a one night thing with (long story, but she passed out in the taxi, yadda yadda yadda I was cleaning up sick all morning) im sure she saw me too and we were both avoiding one another but without letting the other know that we didnt want to meet, it was a highly stressful shop!

Technically he was, parent and child parking is for an adult shopping with the child under 5 with them (thats tesco's policy anyway). If the baby needed taking out he could have driven to a parent and child spot. Im not having a go at the guy, only it was a bit rich to be moaning about people misusing the spots while he misused one himself.

WTF? I read this as: I'm a taxi driver and had sex with a drunk woman so she didn't have to pay her fare.
It reads as if he was out with a girl then on way back to his/hers she was sick in the taxi.
Spot on!
My brother in law had a disabled badge, he could walk ok, he looked fine. He had Bowel cancer, he would find that at times he just ran out of energy especially after doing the shopping or helping with the 3 kids when they came as well.
He died of cancer aged 34, i really didn't begrudge him his blue badge as he really did need it, it just never looked like he did to those who didn't know what was wrong with him. Too many people are quick to judge just by what they can see and without knowing the full story.

True I could have done this, but on a busy Saturday we had to drive around waiting for a P+C spot any way.
As I said before (which most have ignored) if they put spaces at the far end of the car park I would use these as long as the way to the shop was safe, not down the main routes. The ease of access is my issue not the distance. Let the fully able, non-child laden, lazy buttheads who want to park close do so.
I had a 18month old in the car therefore not misusing the space.
I was just commenting, I am no authority on disabilites, just that most of them were not "visibly" disabled. Which is surely the point of the extended spaces. Perhaps close and standard width spaces would help.

The plans don't tally up. There is no crosshatching on the side nearest to shop. That's a bit odd.
I assumed it was 4 all along, i just wanted to wind you up.
