Some say that a person's true character shines through in retail car parks. It's like a little world of its own, where you need some deep-down respect for your fellow humans and a sense of civic justice to co-exist harmoniously.

But you won't believe what happened recently at a Bunnings Warehouse in Perth. Apparently, one motorist tossed every rhyme, reason, rule, and protocol of parking etiquette right out the window.

Posted on the forum website Reddit, the photographic evidence was shocking. The driver had the audacity to spread their vehicle and trailer across not one, not two, but four whole parking spaces!

It gets even worse—one of those spaces they invaded was specially designated for disabled drivers. Unbelievable, right?

The user who posted the photo wrote in the caption, 'There was no disabled badge, and of course, there is plenty of trailer parking available at Bunnings.' He also explained that there were even closer parking bays available, but the driver didn't bother.

This sparked outrage amongst other members of the online community, with people expressing their disappointment and frustrations.

One user commented, 'Not content with being a colossal prick and taking up four spots, decides to go world-class and make one of those spots a disabled parking bay. Some f****** people.'

Another person called on the shopper to inform both Bunnings and the council in the hopes that this embarrassing incident would be followed by a $500 fine. 'Blocking the disabled bay gets extra selfish points,' they said.

When Bunnings was made aware of the photo, their Regional Operations Manager, Hayley Coulson, released a statement expressing the company's shock and disappointment.

'We were disappointed to learn a customer recently used a disability parking bay for their trailer outside our Innaloo store, which our team was unaware of at the time,' she said.

'These parking bays are incredibly important for the community, and we remind our customers that they're only reserved for people with a disability or mobility restrictions.'

She also encouraged Bunnings customers to always keep disability parking bays available for their intended use and to communicate regularly with their local stores about it.

'We're really focused on ensuring disability parking bays are always available for their intended use, and we do our best to communicate regularly with our stores to remind them that these bays are not to be compromised for any reason, at any time.'

Key Takeaways

• A Perth motorist has been criticised over a selfish parking act at Bunnings, where they used a vehicle with a trailer to occupy four spaces, including one for disabled drivers.
• Public response to the incident was overwhelmingly negative, with people expressing shock and annoyance on the Reddit platform.
• Bunnings Regional Operations Manager Hayley Coulson expressed disappointment about the incident, emphasising the importance of maintaining the availability of disability parking bays.
• Despite the incident, the poster clarified that there are 'two car and trailer parking areas, one is always empty', indicating that the irresponsible parking was unnecessary.

It goes without saying that this kind of parking is totally unacceptable, and it is essential that we all follow basic parking etiquette. This is especially important for those who rely on disability parking bays to access public places safely.

Let this story serve as a reminder that a car park is a shared space, and we must do our best not to deprive others of the privilege, especially those who need it the most.

No excuse but the driver most probably was incapable of reversing a trailer and couldn't use the trailer parks, there should be driving tests for trailer usage

 

[Milica]

I have also seen this here in Perth. Arrogance but unfortunately not unusual. Selfish behavior.

Entitled and ignorant - i can just imagine the verabal exchange if a person was to say something!

 

[Milica]

You will always get the people that pack their lunch and leave their brain behide. People like this should cop a fine big time,being disabled my self a lot of these people are healthy enough to lift a trailer so it shows they are mentally disabled.

Pig headed and a me, me, me, attitude!

 

[Littleboy8]

A real pity that the registration number was not added to the photo.

Actually if you enlarge it you can read the plate in right hand corner! Just noticed it!

 

[Petra]

If you are a disability parker, just park your vehicle in front of such a*sholles or bumper to bumper behind them, and go do your shopping. Make sure your disability token/card is in your window with a cam next to it. If he/she wants to steal a disability person's parking, do this.

 

[Macarj]

I often go to Bunning with a trailer and there are many trailer bays at all Bunnings stores what he has done is totally unnecessary

 

[Observer]

My local Bunnings has four trailer spots only.

Often filled with a single vehicle...

Well that's not good.

 

[Abby2]

I am aware some Bunnings stores actually have parking bays especially for a vehicle and trailer.

Perhaps all Bunnings should have special parking trays for vehicle and trailer near doorways so that customers could put heavy items in trailer.

 

[RTS]

Bunnings at Innaloo has limited parking. I've driven around and around to find a vacant spot, after traveling 35km, past three other Bunnings, to get an item only in stock at Innaloo. This driver most probably couldn't find a vacant dedicated trailer bay.

 

[Suzanne rose]

Simple ... go inside and ask to speak to the manage and tell them.

A very selfish act !

Its a highly visible ute and you have the rego. Hope all his tyres don't go flat next time he visits Bunnings

ah but the trailer rego is there, clear as day

 

[Subduedshilo]

Not so long ago I had to explain to a friend with a disability why it was not okay for the boss to take her for a drive to the bank so the boss could park in the disabled parking. The boss was just using her because she did not want to cruise around the car park looking for a spot which meant that she just might have to walk just a little bit further. Once she realised that other people with a disability would need the park more and that the boss was lazy and had no scruples my friend left her parking ticket at home so she couldn’t be used anymore. I cannot even fathom why any person would think it was okay in the first place. There are some people in this world that make you want to wring their bloomin necks

ot surprised. Many drivers of 4Doors Utes believe they have the right to drive & park as they wish. The vehicles are so long & wide they don't fit into a normal space. Also as their GVM is usually 3.25t, or more, they shouldn't drive on many NSW street and they should drive in truck lanes. They ignore the law.

 

[margaretritchie48@hotmail]

Seem the typical big 4x4 with a trailer driver (big could/does have two meanings )
Bit like recently when I called out a very able (looking) women who parked in the disable car park ; left the elderly person in the car ; then went shopping in Bunnings , and was able to push a trolley of purchased goods to the car .
And there were normal car parks a just a few spots up along that same row where I parked
Now those selfish sorts piss me off also.

Could not agree more. My mum has a disabled sticker but if I leave her in the car (not very often) we go in a normal space. The disabled bay is needed when you have to get the disabled person out of the car into a wheelchair or walker. Hope Bunnings fined the car owner?

 

[Esma Rose]

IanB had the experience I had 5 years ago. I thought I would be brave enough to tell the young woman how selfish she was, but instead, her language all but blew my head from my shoulders. These days no one has peace of mind even if you speak kindly to people which I did. Only for a jail sentence I would love to have bullied her, but it wasn't my scene. Ask me now what I would do? BUT ... have moved on. They always win until THEY are old & I wish them in the place of the ones they didn,t have time for. Everything has its answer.

Why didn’t someone unhook the trailer. And move it into a different parking spot .. that may have given the selfish person the right message …

Bunnings at Innaloo has limited parking. I've driven around and around to find a vacant spot, after traveling 35km, past three other Bunnings, to get an item only in stock at Innaloo. This driver most probably couldn't find a vacant dedicated trailer bay.

Not the point disabled means disabled!

It's typical of the 'Me, Me, Me. It's ALL about ME, generation. Their attitude is, I want to, so I will. They don't appear to care about anyone but themselves.
