What do you deal hunters think? Am interested on the community view as if there is away of saving money this is the site...and so is it good that the selfishparker.com site exists?
is it a bit stupid and weird or good that another blog based site exists to better society (in their opinion)?
Personally I'm all for people who park in disabled bays (without a badge) or ******** on corners being outed.

If she'd had looked the other side perhaps she could have shouted at the person who caused the mess.
I would say they've parked like that so no one dings their Range Rover opening their car door getting in & out. I would probably be the same if i had a decent motor. My Vans pretty old now, but it does pee me off the way some people just don't seem to give a crap.

I have to disagree for 2 reasons. 1) Look at the vehicle. It's a new expensive RR with it's own license plate. That tells me that the driver probably doesn't want to be too close to another car through fear of someone else scuffing their vehicle. 2) Two wrongs don't make a right.

As for what happens to you...probably because some people need other cars to guide them into a spot weirdly...but who knows. How is it ironic though? A 'selfish parker' is a regular occurrence which pee's off most people (apart from the offender). There are lots of FB, insta and twitter pages deidcated to this stuff...so there must be a real gripe to it. Yet none for phantom dingers.
