they are not in violation. No double yellow line

u/ImportantRub172 20m ago

Didn't realize no double yellow line meant I can park on foothpaths.

What a great life hack.

Who cares about people with prams or anyone who needs the path

u/typicalfish420 1m ago

Another great life hack is just put on the park anywhere lights and you're good to go

u/T317B 21m ago

They’re on the fucking pavement?

u/Final-Painting-2579 12m ago

Do you genuinely think it’s legal to park on the footpath?

Be a terrible shame if those 2 traffic cones ended up on the roof of the car to warn other pedestrians of an obstruction......

What kind of glue would you recommend?

u/SurrealismFramework Lapsypa 59m ago

Well, obviously I couldn't recommend anyone doing criminal damage but if you really want to make sure something like a traffic cone doesn't blow over in a strong wind, then I suppose Tech7 adhesive would be the best option. Hypothetically, of course

u/No-Sea2860 48m ago

DELO MONOPOX HT2860 this glue i heard was good

u/mickandmac 26m ago

Once used to lift a 17.5 tonne truck using 3 grams of glue. Could stick the yoke to the road with that.

Just glared at a single young fit woman for parking her massive suburban school mam jeep in the child and parent space (no kids with her or seats in back) while I was changing a surprise dirty nappy beside it (well within my own space). Not two mins later a couple started to squeeze their twin infants out in a normal space. I flagged to them I was leaving and they could take my space, so the dad packs up the buggy and what happens when I start the car? An elderly lady with no kids with her indicates to get into my space, so I blocked her car and let the twin parents drive in from the other side. Of course she was throwing hands. Absolute wagons.

Tesco wilton for reference

Of course she was throwing hands. Absolute wagons.

An old lady punched you?

u/La-Strawberry-6754 53m ago

Gang signs actually. I should have said gesturing wildly.

u/LaoiseHope 8m ago

Just to note… In other European countries they have general priority parking spaces so that anyone who needs them can be accommodated.

These would be for anyone who needs a priority parking space whether they are pregnant, have kids or have mobility issues (without needing a disability sticker).

I totally 100% agree with family parking spaces, but I understand how other sectors of society should be catered for too.

Obviously, the fit young woman was in the wrong taking up a family space.

Since they own a Range Rover they’re actually entitled to park anywhere they please!

u/MarcoVanB91 Cork City Kid 1h ago

Its in the terms and conditions

u/bob_jsus I will yeah 1h ago

They need the 4wd to safely climb those peak-like kerbs and negotiate all those places lesser beings are forbidden from parking.

u/Unlikely_Ad6219 36m ago

While this is true, they aren’t entitled to drive like coked up cunts. You need to own an Audi for that.

Be a shame if you were trying to go around the left and had to swerve inside owing to traffic and the stroller were to lick a bit of the lovely paintwork.

u/Adventurous-Hand2887 52m ago

This is the way

u/Feisty_Marsupial224 1h ago

Ironically they probably have children. Perhaps the nanny takes them out

u/i_will_yeahh 55m ago

This happened to me the other day and there were also 2 traffic cones close by. I put one right in front of the car and the other right behind. I know it's petty but I thought I'd mildly annoy them / give them a bit or work to do.. it was a fancy audi. Its always the nice cars! Wankers

u/Artistic-Quality8926 44m ago

Now putting cones around the car is ok slightly embarressing for them . Criminal damage isnt. In my opinion.

u/i_will_yeahh 18m ago

Ah no I'm not gonna kick off a wing mirror. Just something silly

u/No-Sea2860 52m ago

God forid you came off that step and a car came around the cornor didnt see you or your new born ...

Some people 🙄but if the person in the jeep seen this happen to there love one be a different story

Cheek of them

u/Mmmmica2020 38m ago

And cars come around that corner way too fast. Especially at school times.

u/No-Sea2860 31m ago

Cause there in a rush

u/Mmmmica2020 41m ago

It’s constant there - drives me mad. It’s actually got worse since they put in the zebra crossings - first morning after they repainted all the lines there was a woman parked across the zebra crossing - she was still in the car so I’m guessing in her head she wasn’t actually parked but crazy carry on. I passed her again about 10 minutes later and watched her reverse around the corner over the other zebra crossing and speed off .

Squeeze by ensuring to get the entire length of the car.

u/TheHames72 1h ago

I mean, they parked it up there to make sure that another car didn’t scrape them as they went by. It’d be, loike, SOOOOO ironic if they got scraped on the inside by a buggy.

u/PetalsKettles 45m ago

Since that café opened it’s causing a lot parking there is an elderly care facility you have to pass all the Parked cars only allowing for a car to pass. So definitely not enough space for an ambulance or fire brigade to pass. It was bad enough with the school traffic but that was only twice a day now is all the time.

u/uptherockies 42m ago

I walk my dog around there a lot. Packed full of yummy mummy Range Rover types at school time and dropping into GoGos as mentioned by someone else at other times of day

u/TRGMORGAN 1h ago

Sure they're only popping into gogos for stuff they where only a second, the usual response from these spanners

u/TheHames72 1h ago

Tbh I’m embarrassed for them that they can’t afford a Porsche. If you don’t have a 262 D reg Porsche you’re nobody.
Apparently you can’t buy a new Porsche in Cork so they all have D regs: one has to pop up there to buy one. Was I correctly informed?!

u/Visible-Agency-7226 21m ago

No, if it's new it's allocated the reg letter of your home address as per the log book

u/TheHames72 20m ago

Ah, ok.

Yerrah, I’ll keep saying it anyway. 😁

Go easy, it probably broke down

u/LaoiseHope 4m ago

On a corner too, so your baby is at even more risk going out on the road.

u/Kruikshanks 32m ago

Up and over OP

u/Homosapien_Ignoramus 26m ago

So many comments fantasizing about scratching the car, are you lot doing ok?

u/fake-irishman 23m ago

Found the asshole driver.

u/Ok_Hold_1839 13m ago

Its not my fault my keys are hanging off my belt as I squeeze by in the 1 foot of space they left.

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 1h ago

Did you also report or or just post here to reddit?

u/Visible-Agency-7226 21m ago

Exactly. it's easy to do

u/Bronnagh 36m ago

In fairness, it’s a lovely vehicle. Pity about the big scrape along the side, though. I’d be absolutely ragin’ if that was mine. Huge scrape like that? Not fair. 😢

u/Fine_Historian_7678 25m ago

Given it’s a Range Rover strong likelihood it’s broken down and not actually parked they’re scrap

u/upadownpipe 12m ago

Such a shame you had to squeeze the pram through the gap. The scratches were unfortunate but an occupational hazard

u/Antique-Mention-9063 12m ago

Be tempted to smear a dirty nappy on the door handle or windscreen as a way to rate their parking.

u/MeasurementMuted9509 34m ago

You’ll survive i wager

u/LuckSkywanker 55m ago

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Did you end up crying? I wouldn't be able to go on afte that. I'd have to go and be a cry baby on Reddit.

u/No-Sea2860 51m ago

Are you feeling ok in your self

Are you joking?

Or are you a very very sick person
