Think this will help? This will be printed off and placed under
the
wipers of all the nutters who park on the wrong side of the road:

Side 1, facing outwards for everyone to see:

As a cyclist you should appreciate that bad parking is annoying.

You putting stuff under wipers isnt going to change anything

Short of pushing the car to the correct position, what would you
suggest?

Not suggesting anything. Nothing you can do will change what they do
parking
wise.

It did once.

Nope.

I was parking in a street for 5 minutes, and deliberately parked so as
to
block the road. I parked the same side as 10 other cars, ignoring the
BMW
(it's almost always a BMW, they're selfish pricks) that was stupidly on
the other side. When someone tried to get past, I pointed to the BMW
and
blamed its driver. The guy trying to get past went and knocked on his
door and started yelling. I drove away and left them to it.

Had no effect on where he parked.


I don't know what the conversation was, as I'd left, but I've since seen
that car parked on the other side. It used to always be on the wrong
side. The guy trying to get past was built substantially more heavy than
the BMW owner.

The police have already told me it's "not a police matter".

They're right, they are parking legally.

It shouldn't be legal to take up two spaces with one car.

They arent doing that.


You can't be that thick.


You clearly are, that's why you are unemployable.

Draw a diagram similar to the one I posted.


Don't need to.

Imagine every other car parks on the left, and every other car parks on
the right. Leave enough gap for

passing traffic to get past, and parked cars are at least
one car's length apart. Now put them all on the same side, no gaps
required.


That's not take up two spaces with one car.


The explanation was clearly too complicated for you. If every other car is on alternate sides of a road two car widths wide, clearly you need a 1 car length gap between each parked car. This equates to taking up twice as much space as all cars parked on one side.

The council are lazy ****s who won't do anything.

Nothing they can do either.

My council won't do anything about anything,

They obviously do collect the rubbish and put in
those speed bumps you froth at the mouth about.


They do both of those very badly indeed.


Then do the decent thing and set fire to yourself
outside their office. That will fix the problem.

and it's usually them causing the problem in the first place!

Then do the decent thing and set fire to yourself outside their offices.


Best just to set fire to their offices.


That won't get them doing anything any better.


It'll prevent them from doing the harm they are currently doing.

When I spoke to the guy in person, he just looked completely confused,

Yep, while thinking to himself 'this ****er is completely out of his
****ing tree'

I took you as a bloke with some logic and common sense.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.


So you don't have common sense then, I can believe that.


You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.


Get your head out of the sand.

Draw a little diagram for yourself if it helps, or just use mine.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Parking on alternate sides of a street which is two car widths, takes up
twice the room.

And yet the council doesn't ban parking on one side of the street.


They do when it becomes a problem.


So they don't see that there is a problem.


It's not a problem, but an annoyance. I cannot tolerate stupidity.

But usually when a street gets very busy, people start seeing sense.


Don't believe that.


Yip, even in council estates.

Imagine all those cars on the left parked alternately on each side. There would be room for exactly half the cars.

he wasn't intelligent enough to understand, I thought a simple diagram
might help him, or he can get his wife to explain.

Taint gunna work.

Well there's always the mess a key makes of paintwork.

That wont get them all parking on the same side either.


But it'll cost the **** money, and it'll give me immense satisfaction.


And see you ****ed over when they use their surveillance cameras to see who
did it.


He doesn't have surveillance cameras.
