4… this is normally where I would park at my supermarket, as it’s my world it’s the first lane to drive down..
It was the night before Christmas Eve, about 8 years ago I stupidly asked if there was anything else that we need… this earned me a trip to the supermarket.
The supermarket car park is setup as a L shape around the front and one side, it was packed and everyone was circling like slowly vultures.
Then there was this old person in their estate which you can clearly tell that they used for work. He decided to park himself on the end of a T junction in the middle of both lanes to wait for a parking spot right next to the supermarket itself, where the mother/child spots are.
This caused a massive traffic jam as it stopped people from getting pass, and no one could see what was happening until they joined the back of the queue…. I was there for a good ten minutes, serval people got out of their car to speak to him, many people including myself just hooted but this chap would not move even thou there was spaces freeing up at other parts of the car park.
Finally, someone came out to leave a spot right in front of this chap…
they pulled forward,
the old chap rushed into the spot,
but the person that was parked in that spot had to reserve back into the spot, as they could not make the turning in one go; mainly because the traffic of cars cause by he who won’t be moved.
well they backed up and hit the side of the old chaps car.
This was all done at some speed, the old chap managed to get into the spot far enough and as his car was hit on the side, pushed the front of his car into the side of the car parked on the right, his side of the car was pushed into the back of the car parked on the left..
That‘s one messy legal dispute for four vehicle owners right there, on private land just before Christmas…
