# No because it ain't true!
Men are the worse parkers going as they are nearly all selfish bastards ;)

Also I bet that it was a man driving that car and decided "Fuck it I'll park here!"

# having witnessed parking by both men and women in my company carpark
I can authoritatively inform you that people who work in marketing are the worst

# hmmm
in a recent survey of car park users, 49% said they were not not in favour of a reduction of post implementation strategic brand realignments with regards to a more positive influential car parking accuracy expectation philosophy

# in our work carpark, double parking is only allowed when the car park is full
yet it always tends to be women who start double parking close to the entrance long before the car park fills up

# I have great difficulty parking when I go to work because male drivers have
done exactly what you accuse women of doing - in fact it's getting very bad at work because some of the selfish bastards (always men) decide they will park in a way that permits them to make a quick get-away after work but totally blocks everybody else from moving out of the carpark - it has been noted but these individuals (did I mention they are men?) keep doing it.

# I had to get the HR director out of a board meeting to move her car once. All the PAs and receptionists had gone home for the night
I had to prime myself properly in order not to do it with the minimum inconvenience to the (very private) meeting and to draw as little attention to myself as possible.

It didn't stop all the directors and board members from stopping and looking at me though.

I've had to wear a fake beard ever since

# I'd go with the most people (boys with and without winkles) being utterly rubbish drivers generally,
parking being merely an extension of lousy driving.

That said, the 3 times I've been knocked off my push bike, it's been by non-males.

# Bwahahaha!
I've always found that the word 'Hairdresser' is completely interchangeable with the phrase 'MR2 Driver'.

# there there poppet
keep your knickers on, they should be allowed to park where they like, because they're men and their jobs must be more important than yours

# I'm a busdriver, and so are they.
it's the same thing with the buses they (men) always park at the busstops with their tail ends stuck out (a common male trait apparently) ;)

# I reckon (seriously) that you should have the right to just ram them out of the way.
You'd probably need a slightly more armoured bus, something a bit more Mad Max style, but by god it would be entertaining!

# I saw a lady bus driver this morning driving on the right hand side of the road
because she didn't think she could get the bus down the left-hand side (there's a little pedestrian-crossing island thing in the middle)

she got undertaken by a man driving a long-wheelbased transit towing a large trailer who fit through the gap on the left perfectly, which then caused no end of confusion when they both met another bus coming the other way

I decided I'd wait for the next one

# I'm not saying all women drivers are perfect
but that's a long way from saying all women are rubbish drivers.

As a busdriver I've seen many many women drivers who I've wanted to pull out of their car by their bleached blonde (roots showing) hair and slap them across the face. But instead I have to grin and bear it as they pull across my bus into the bus lane and park up to let a friend out etc.

# I wasn't suggesting this anecdote proves a rule at all
but at the time I was just staring, going "what the bloody hell is she doing?"

in the event I found that they've dug all the roads up again (after filling them in what, three weeks ago) and it was far quicker to walk to the station
