Carpathius Mar 2023 9:08am, 22 Mar 2023 22,202 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Don't get me started on that . I live opposite an entrance to a primary school and it's chaos out there twice a day. We usually get people parking across our drive too, and I often have to drop someone and work around that time. I've had people yelling at me when I've asked them to not block us in or out.
EatSleepRunRePete Mar 2023 10:39am, 22 Mar 2023 86 posts	Quote Pin EatSleepRunRePete Carpathius, I hear ya ... my gripe was triggered actually as I was on my way back home towards the end of a run, and my route usually (90% of the time) takes me past a the local primary school. It's difficult to avoid as it's just around the corner from home. I was running along the kerb to try and avoid the masses of parents and children heading towards the school, when a parent mounted the kerb and parked half across the pavement directly in my path ... she had to drive past me to reach her parking spot and thought that her manoeuvre was acceptable. My reaction told her what I thought of it :/ But I've been driving behind people who drive slowly looking for parking spaces and then just randomly decide to stop dead on the zigzags with no indication ... I know that parking can be a pain, but people just have no common sense, no patience, and no respect for other road users. Parking across your driveway when you need access is not on either :o people's lack of respect just astounds me sometimes :/
