Selfish Supermarket Parking

[rubberhedgeho...]

This is a continuation of a thread about mic position for vlogging.
I had a ride to my local Tesco this afternoon and lo and behold, I find this car parked STRAIGHT across the 'motorcycle only' bays.
Selfish really isn't the work for it since there are AMPLE disabled and 'pick-up/drop-off' spaces closer to the main doors....

Not the first time this has happened at this shopping centre

In other news:

I doubt you were sticking to the 10mph speed limit.

Personally I'd be ignoring the bays and putting my bike up against the window anyway........ if I can put a bollard between me and the dozy car driver who may knock it over that suits me just fine!

Yes, I can see at least tens if not hundreds of motorcyclists were obviously seriously inconvenienced by these selfish actions!

I often park the bike in places I shouldn't, but don't actually inconvenience anyone and am fine with getting away with it (as we can reasonably say is the case here).

I think this is a rather good example of why many dislike 'vbloggers'.

[P.]

While it does kinda get my back up people park anywhere...but I park on a private road owned by a company who to be fair are pretty decent and let us park 3 or 4 bikes there.

I don't see the novelty of talking to yourself whilst riding, it seems overly gay. See Jamey for an example.

I've got a camera, but its purely for recording knob like antics, not criticising other motorists

Where's the sound towards the end of the video? Or is it just me?

To borrow a quote I heard from a good friend of mine:

Is any phrase more depressing than moto Vlogger?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[rubberhedgeho...]

I cut the sound from the end of the video - I wasn't saying anything so the only sound is the unlocking of the car and then it moves off.

It was only by chance that I had it recording at all - a run to the shops doesn't warrant it under normal circumstances!

Serves you right for living in Solihull, we do not do that in Brum!

I don't see TOO much of a problem. She was obviously only gone for a minute or two at most and she left a motorcycle bay open. The chances of more than 1 motobike coming in that short time is very small.

I'd be more bothered about parking my bike behind the car in the bay behind her, then her not seeing it and backing into it.

I'd never do it myself but I wouldn't be pissed off if someone else did it.

The video cut off before you punched her in the tits and did her up the gary.

Well that was a Foocking riveting watch..

[Ayrton]

I hate it when people do that. Some people like to believe they have special privileges and can park wherever they like (such as in front of my drive like some nobs do).

As for vloggers, i dont see why everyone hates them so much. I follow quite a few motorbike vloggers and i really enjoy most of them. of course most of them only upload a video when its complaining about something

Why did you park directly behind the car though? seems a bit stupid, incase the driver came back in a hurry and reversed over it without noticing it.

[stonesie]

Saw a lovly new merc parked in the bike area in Donny town centre today, with a nice red pouch stuck to the windscreen containing his parking ticket

[johnsmith222]

To be fair that didn't anger me too much. I wouldn't have used the parking bays anyway. I park at the shop window like G does.

One thing that drives me mental is people who think it is ok to use disabled spaces when they quite clearly don't have a disability. I'd shoot the lot of them.

Although I mind my dad once going "look at this bastard here taking the disabled space when he can walk fine". The man proceeded to help his para wife into her wheelchair.

I, too, would like to hear what was said towards the end of the video. You were clearly upset enough to want to hang around for the car owner to return and have it out with them/shame them but for some unknown reason you have decided to remove the audio. It appears to me that you were gesticulating with your hands and probably remonstrating with the female driver (would you have behaved in the same way if the driver had been a male?) and the driver is quite clearly responding to your actions. In spite of what you have said about there being nothing on the tape other than the sound of the car being unlocked and driven away, I would still like to hear it for myself.
I can only surmise that you are too embarrassed to let us hear the full audio recording.

You're my new hero - go you!

You really told her off there, I bet she felt really bad after you gave her a couple of sideways glances and then left it at that. She'll know not to fuck with bikers again.



p.s. - Can i have those 49 seconds of my life that I wasted on your video back please?
