Driver slammed online for hogging four spots, including disabled bay, in Bunnings carpark

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.

What do you think, folks? Have you ever witnessed or experienced a situation where parking spots were scarce because someone took more space than necessary? Let us know in the comments below!

There is a very easy way to educate people like this just park 1 vehicle in front of the vehicle parking that way and a 2nd vehicle at the back and leave them both for a while sit back and watch the driver go into panic mode, trust me it works and the best thing is there's nothing wrong what you do is legal, if he calls the police he will most likely be charged with illegal parking.

Everybody's got one, this driver is one and a rotten one at that.
 
Wonder if the dude who owns the car reads seniors discount comments and laughs to himself🙀just a thought😁
Maybe but I believe in karma and karma is a b**ch. I think people who go through life not caring about the needs of others ("stuff you Jack as long as I'm alright") will eventually get theirs.

My guess is that this is a Tradie as there is a large vehicle & trailer. If the trailer is to be used to carry a purchase from here, the driver can drive his vehicle & trailer into the warehouse, load his purchase into the trailer then drive this to the check-out at the boom type gate inside the Trade section & pay.

Most bays at these stores are for 2 cars in length. This moron could have done what reasonable people do with a trailer & park in 2 bays long ways. The vehicle can be driven in one side & driven out the other.

What can be easier than these 2 options? (perhaps he needed a note left on his windscreen, not that this would affect his conscience I'm sure)
 
It looks like 7TS 156. I've enhanced and enlarged that section of the photo only with my Photoshop program. I Don't know which state. Hopefully you can read it clearly. Try downloading the photo and enlarging to see clearly.View attachment 25730
Nice try and yes I can read it but that is for the trailer. The utes number plate may be different and the utes owner may only be borrowing the trailer also.
 
Why? You won't getting anything from it. It's PRIVATE PROPERTY (unless there is signage stating local by laws officers enforce) no by laws apply. Other than maybe a motherhood statement, Bunnings will do absolutely nothing. Most likely this customers spends 000's at their store as opposed to the couple of $'s Mr & Mrs average spend. Where do you think their customer loyalty lies? Storm in a teacup, just go to another hardware store more personal satisfaction will be gained from taking your once in a blue moon mulch or packet of nails to a smaller retailer.
There are very very few smaller retailers left as BIG Bunnings have priced them out of the market!
