I like how you make the blind person out to be a potential victim here. It’s not the owners fault she’s blind, it’s her fault.
Maybe she should have considered being born with sight.
So it’s clearly the bilnd persons fault if they can’t see the improperly parked car.

I agree with you on the dog shit, the owner should have clearly trained the dog to dispose of it’s own shit.

As for the napkie, wtf! How dare anybody throw something biodegradable on the ground!

I am going to have to go off topic here a bit. I have said many times before that the USA and Americans basically deserve the reputation they have because they export an image of themselves and their country via Hollywood – both film and TV – that is brash, aggressive, loud, violent and often unsophisticated.
However, the more you travel to the country and get to know it’s people, the more you discover that, on the whole (and there are always exceptions of course) they are a very polite, courteous and generous people who go out their way to help and make you feel at home.
In more trips than I can count I have only once ever felt threatened (well, he did have this great big shotgun aimed at me!) and have always been treated well and often far far better than here in my home country.

On closer inspection I think it possible to see the problem here. You see, it appears to be an AMERICAN car, which of course explains everything. Americans and of course anything that is produced in that country are able to go anywhere, park anywhere, do anything to anybody anywhere in the world, without so much as a by your leave. They have no manners, after all, they tipped all our tea into the harbour in Boston. Dashed bad form old boy!
By the same token, the constant osmosis of American thought and mores has been accelerated around the world and in particular in this, the latest state of the Union ( we just aren’t sure which Union, of course),by the mass hallucination of Television, which teaches us that it is ok to kill, drink to excess, swear, beat up women, beat up kids, beat up anyone that doesn’t agree with you; kill anyone that has a different God, that has a different colour skin, take drugs, screw anything that moves without a thought to the consequences. That idolises awful behaviour and turns it into money.
And last but not least park like a complete wanker – I bet this driver even parks in disabled spots, by a pedestrian crossing, in front of someone’s driveway and any other damn place they fancy.
Me I’m with Wolfie Smith of the Tooting Popular Front – Come the glorious day, brothers, we will all drive Rolls Royces! And I shall park it across this guy’s driveway!!!

A note under his windscreen wiper, telling him not to park there tomorrow, or else it will be a key down the side of the car, should gently persuade him to park elsewhere…

Small shit like this is as corrosive as the larger sins of our politicians.

> â€˜10 metresâ€™? Wasnâ€™t that yards?

This country has been a metric country since before I was born. I know the French invented it, but really, it’s a good system! It works!

Also, I’m not so good at yards as I am metres, but I’m pretty sure that car in the photo is within ten yards of the turning as well.

If your really that pissed off:-

Currently, Regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 requires the Agency to release information from its vehicle register to the police, to local authorities for the investigation of an offence or decriminalised parking contravention, and to anybody who demonstrates â€˜reasonable causeâ€™ to have the information made available to them. Regulations also allow for a fee to be charged to cover the cost of processing requests.â€˜Reasonable causeâ€™ is not defined in legislation but release is normally associated with road safety, events occurring as a direct consequence of the use of the vehicle, the enforcement of road traffic legislation and the collection of taxes. The Agency has to evaluate very carefully the reasons for the request as well as the way in which the information will be used before releasing the information.
