I think ' getting out' of a car needs to be taught to people learning to drive too. Super markets should also adopt segrigated parking spaces a bit like disabled. Crap car and very nice car 
. Already have a fresh ding on my drivers door thanks to some twit. No matter where you park some flump will park next to you.

2. You're on the supermarket's property. If they tell you a space is for the use of parents with children, thats who it's for.
3. Ignoring designated spaces, or parking across double spaces because you feel your car to be in some way more important or precious than others just reinforces the stereotype that those of us who drive two seater sports cars are all inconsiderate cocks.

2. I am a customer of theirs. So long as I am not breaking any laws I will park where I choose.
3. Speak for yourself.
You have made some incorrect assumptions about my situation.

try parking at an angle, not across two bays, at the end of the car park
they don't copy that for some reason, and it makes a ding much less likely if you are protected on one side whilst parked at an angle

If its your supermarket then I would respect the rules that you would set.
Not really justifying your actions is it?

I suppose you never break rules then.
Would you be prepared to follow a rule such as parking spaces for people earning >

Our Sainsbury's has a very nice spot on the end of the role that has a hatched space next to it - that's my parking space
I park over the markings and into the middle of the 'allocated' parking space.Agree with 'grouping' - find this happens in the cinema as well. You sit miles away from anyone in a huge cinema and then two people come in and sit right behind you despite 500+ other seats being available - go figure!
Since getting this car I care less and less about taking up two spaces and if someone thinks it's because I can't park properly (which has been a throw away comment I've overheard) I don't care.

I got to work a little later than usual today to find that all the staff have heard about my car being dinged. And as they rate it the most beautiful car in the carpark 
they've unanimously agreed to leave an open space for me each day (with no prompting on my part)...and it's the only space where I feel my car is safe! WOO HOO!!!
There are still good people in the world! And they work with me!

The old adage of something good always comes out of a bad experience springs to mind.

Sometimes we're so busy looking down on things, we forget to look up and see the good things...or something like that!
