as if "just nipping to the shop" entitles you to park in the narrowest part of the village, so holding up entire lines of traffic, because you won't park 10 yards further down cos you're too fucking lazy to walk the length of your own doormat AND THEN you casually stroll out and without looking open your drivers door into oncoming traffic because you simply could not give a fuck.

they have so much fucking money that the parking ticket means less to them than having to walk an extra 5 metres to the shops. happily hold up entire roads/lanes of traffic. the arrogance drives me insane.
