People who uses parent and child parking because they have a big or expensive car and just want a bigger soace. I bet they don't return their trolleys either ...
Supermarkets that cram so many undersized parking spaces in your car gets dented by selfish clumsy shits.
Supermarkets that got rid of human beings employees returning abandoned trolleys in favour of £1 coin things

I occasionally did trolley duty as a 16/17 yr old at a Sainsbury's that had a car park that was on hill.
I certainly lightly bumped a couple of cars, but never left so much as a mark. There was a bit of a challenge to see how many trolleys you could return on one "train". I think I did 17.

Massive cars that are too big to fit in parking spaces.

I did the same for Sainsbury's too but it wasn't on a hill, but there certainly some rises and dips in the car park. Can't recall hitting any cars, but I do remember trying to get as many in a train as possible.
I also remember getting told off for having a sit down in the shade and drinking water, when it was like 25 degrees plus.

Beat me to it, but:

Cars, even average sized cars,with side impact protection in their doors that make the doors so fat you can’t get out in a tiny supermarket parking space. And stop you getting maimed or killed

half the people on our road have 2 car drives but own 3+ cars and rather than park the spares across the front of their driveways on the road they use them to nick all the spaces from my neighbours who don't have a drive and can only park outside their own house because they'd otherwise be blocking someone else's drive. if there's no room to nick their spots they'll just park next to them overhanging our driveway instead, because it's much better to inconvenience someone else passively living their life rather than maybe have to move one of your fleet 8 feet out the way to get a car off the drive sometimes and only inconvenience yourself.

I whole heartedly echo all of these sentiments.
Also, while I realise not all disabilities are visible, there seems to be a very strong correlation between using disabled parking at the kids gymnastics venue and big flashy cars, by people whose only disabilities appear to be odd complexions and swollen lips.

These cunts that despite being in the actual car park of the local Tesco, have to find a curb to park on because all the disabled spots 5 metres closer are full of people not displaying blue badges.

Where I live, a lot of people have two car drives and two cars but still park one on the road for whatever reason creating rubbish chicanes to navigate and good luck getting through in anything bigger than a car and seem to think parking on corners is fine, creating terrible visibility when trying to pull out, the flip slide is it turns everywhere in to a load speed neighbourhood

Cars and UK car culture.
(Although I do agree that they are sometimes necessary to get to things far away that isn't easily reachable or practical by public transport or cycling.)

Also my neighbour who has a tree surgeon company and parks both his massive open backed Transits in our little close. One is on the grass outside his house, then the other is next to that.

This is the game we're currently playing on our street. Feral neighbours have four cars and a huge trailer, their drive is large enough to accommodate three cars but they only park two on theirs, another one lives across my drive blocking me in and the other is permanently left over the road in front of the family who own three cars and only have two spaces. They have to drive their third car in at an angle so it sits on the grass between their house and the feral's fourth car.
The problem is cars, obvs, fuck them all. And feral neighbours.

I'm really curious about where you live, as it sounds very Real Housewives of Suburbia

Does your local council have a report line? If any part of the car is next to the dropped kerb (not the slope but the actual flat bit) then this is an easy PCN.

Organisations that embed tracking links into everything all the time. I sort of expect it from commercial outfits that are trying to make as much money out of me as possible. It really pisses me off from charities that I volunteer a lot of time with.

Borehamwood. Which although it's very standard burbs in a lot of ways, also has footballer houses in the near countryside, and a posher side (Elstree) as well as bougie towns like Radlett near by. A bit like this https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/138155969?
Without kids I think I'd miss a lot of these interactions. But with nursary, school, clubs and classes you get a bit more exposure.

I've called/emailed/etc so many times. The council say they have to be 'considerably over the line', about half a car length by the sounds of it. I now park my car very aggressively right on the line with my arse hanging out onto the street so they can't come close. I think they've got the message. I've seen other people nearby resort to this and often wondered why, now I know.
The really annoying part is they come over to my side to give themselves loads of room coming out of their drive. It's the ultimate selfish dick move, make yourself comfortable and fuck your neighbour over in the process.
Utter cunts.
Picture is of a not so bad day. They're normally right over the driveway.

My neighbours opposite now have seven cars outside their property. Mum, dad, son has two cars, daughter, kid's gf and bf who are always there. It's mental.
