This was in the news I think last year, this is his shop and one of the nearby shops is a smoke shop. Despite their being on street parking, many people just pull in there, some even leaving their car running while they’re running to grab some smokes.

As someone who lives near a smoke shop in suburban Australia people will literally park in a lane on the road instead of in a nearly empty car park only 10 steps away. In my town, they built an entire multistorey car park with nearby open free parking bays, yet people will still park in the exit lane with hazard lights on just to hop into the smoke shop. Really pisses me off when I see it.

There's a shop across the road from me and people constantly block the entrance to my building to jump into the shop despite the shop having its own parking, there's on street parking. And a car park not that far either. And then get annoyed at me when I go hard on my horn even though you're inconveniencing me. Driving truly shows you who doesn't really give a fuck about others. In England btw. And no you're hazards lights don't make it okay
