If like me you are a bit Rotund and find parking in a supermarket car park annoying at times. You do your shop only to find when you come out some skinny bastard has parked up beside you leaving you no room to get into your car.
Try this it may work.

Re: Try this
Then there are those who return to find the car damaged by some other idiot who just throws the door open without looking.
Or the ones who come out to find the car Clamped by the Police for fines not paid.
The person who saw the notice could have put on, 'Go on a diet"!!!!

Re: Try this
Actually I am not fat, just pleasingly plumb. The ones that do my head in in carparks are Porche owners or other so called prestige brands. The number of times you see these assholes taking up 2 spaces because they park in between the lines. Had to smile a while back, a guy in an Aston Martin was getting a ticket by the parking attendant. It was a pay and display park. The owner was arguing that he had paid and here is my pay &display ticket. The parking attendant handed him the ticket and said yes you have paid to park in that space or that space but you have not paid to park in both. He was in breach of the parking regs. The car has to be inside the white lines of the parking bay. Fixed penalty notice £100.

Oh dear James, you know your not allowed to use the term FAT. Rhoald Dahl books publishers have removed the term FAT that describes one of his characters in one of his books as it may cause offence to certain people. LOL

Re: Try this
On New Years Eve I was walking past a line of parked cars, then a car suddenly VERY FAST reversed and hit me, I went flying across the car park and ended up lying in a pool of water,
i was raining at the time, My walking sticks were under the wheels of the car, The woman driver got out and said, "I didnt see you in my mirror.
I told her to move her car so I could have my walking sticks back. she got in and drove off very fast. No apology.
I was covered in bruises.
fIVE DAYS LATER i FELL AND BROKE MY OTHER LEG
Sometimes you just cant win.

#5 Brian, you should have contacted the company that operates the Car Park. They may have had CCTV footage of the incident. Brian you need to look after yourself better, remember you do not bounce as well as you used to. Take care and stay safe.

Re: Try this
There I was reverse parking, the correct way to do so, when some idiot decided to reverse out of his parking space.
Hit me amidships but o damage thankfully.
When I asked why he did not see me, his reply, my reversing mirror is broken.
No matter how hard they try you just cannot legislate for D*** heads.
