This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

People who think reproducing should entitle them to special treatment when choosing a parking space.

Don't your loins work properly?

I just want to park closer to the supermarket because I'm lazy.

Pretend to be a mong.
Having worked in the "Disability" work sector I can tell you they hand out ACROD stickers like lollies @ a paedo convention.

Alternate, sensible reply:
Supermarkets recognise that not only do Parent & Child spaces make life a bit easier for customers with children (who spend significantly, instore), by placing them nearer to the store and making them wider, they reduce the chance that other cars will be damaged, be that by being hit by a flung open door, or running over an errant child.

Suck it up.

I'm not sure how to say this without sounding sarcastic
but I genuinely hadn't thought of the risk of damage to my car. Or the guilt I'd briefly feel if I actually ran over a child in a car park come to that.

I may have to revise my thinking. Purely for selfish reasons, i don't want anyone thinking I've gone soft.

You might at least have called me a cunt.
People will start to think we fancy each other, or something.

Sorry, good point.
I hate you for making me change my mind you unbearable cunt.

I'm not sure P&C spaces are always closer anyway.
But they are wider - to allow access for pushchairs etc and to allow the doors to open wide for abstracting car seats.

In practice they are often near the disabled bays but I think that's usually for convenience rather than policy.

I'm afraid to say it, but this.
Although the argument about kids throwing doors open is also valid. Perhaps I should stop see it as an " unfair blessing for the people with their kiddies" and more "Ha! You've been made to stay awaaaay from me!".

Congratulations.
Welcome to a world of sneering at anyone who dares to complain about the site when they haven't got an icon.

Hahaha
I've used "Parent and Child" parking spaces when going to the supermarket with my mum. Despite the fact that I'm in my thirties and she's over sixty, she's my parent and I'm her child.

Pfft. I reckon you've got that completely arse-ways round.
Folks with kids will typically spend more on weekly shopping than folks without. The supermarkets understand this and are simply enticing us parents to shop there, rather than elsewhere.
Economics.
And what makes you think I expect preferential treatment? How tesco choose to maximise footfall is their business.

*cough*
Irrational hatreds, yeah? This surely ticks that box. There are sound reasons for it, but the OP still hates it. Job's a good'un
