The third world shanty town I work in is muder for morons parking in ridiculous places. Couple of years back I dragged a car up the road with the trailer crash bar after Abdul parked on a zig zag line

No need for racism really, was there?

Should he’ve said “colonial cousin” instead?

I work for the coop and most of the time have to do front door delivery.
80% of the time I will have problems with customers parking in my way.

Heck today I was doing a blind side reverse into a coop garage besides one of the few pumps and someone shoots in behind me while I’m reversing and tries to start fueling up.
This often happens.

Another one was a elderly guy who refused to move forward so I could get into the loading bay because he needed milk. He left upset because the store ran out of milk and the only milk was on my truck.

Honestly I think the elderly are the worst.
I’ve never had an issue with anyone under 30.

I do urban multi drop too and couldn’t agree more. Had a car block me into an alleyway the other day, and politely said “Would you be ok parking somewhere else? I can’t get out if you park there.” To which the old bint replied “It’s alright, I have a blue badge.”

Back on topic, I deliver to a pub near a load of takeaways and the loading bay could probably fit 2 rigids in. But the moped drivers for the takeaways all spread themselves apart so much that you can’t fit a wagon in at all. The traffic gods were with me the other week and I managed to get my wagon in, when one of them returned he tried to explain to me that the loading bay was for mopeds only.

Also once had a pillock park his taxi in a loading bay and go in for a few pints, and informed me that “loading only” is actually for taxis to load passengers in and out. Not truck drivers. He wasn’t even loading passengers anyway! He eventually moved, should have grassed the ■■■■ up for drink driving with hindsight.

A good many years ago I used to deliver to catering establishments in Dorset and Devon amongst other places. The first time I went to Bridport a traffic warden came rushing along and asked me to wait a few minutes whilst she got all the legally cars shifted so I could park parallel to the kerb and in Bideford the police used to close the road so I could park as it was too narrow for cars to pass.

In those days commonsense prevailed and the attitude was, if you can’t deliver we go hungry.

years ago I ran into Westbay Bridport with small ships but never found a problem with parking them … :slight_smile:
