Entitled motorhome parking. (1 Viewer)

[VXman]

I put this on "a view from..." thread but after decided maybe it deserved it's own thread.

After a mixed weather week at the Le Mans 24hr race we have followed the sun and headed south east towards Lyon where it is sunny and 30 degrees.

Found a lovely free Aire on the Lac de Villerest/Loire river.

View from the van....

Well, this should be everyone's view if we all parked in the marked bays. However, some entitled Frenchman made his own spot. So pan little to my right and instead of uninterrupted lake views we have.....

As I sit here with my cold Normandy cider it annoys me more and more. Maybe a few more bottles and I'll have a word.

A few more bottles and you won't care

So what is he doing to harm you, you have got your view , in a couple of hours it will be dark and you won't see either.

You probably can't envisage it from my description. The Aire has clearly marked spaces which would afford everyone a uninterrupted beautiful view. One tosser decides to park sideways across in front of everyone so he can't see any motorhomes but we all have to look at him. Yes if I look left I have a lovely view but he is in my peripheral vison all the time.

It's just selfish behaviour. I deplore selfish behaviour.....and it doesn't get dark until 11pm here. Plus....a few hours later it'll be breakfast.

Sorry but from your photo it looks if there is only you and him there so who's view is he obstructing.

if we all parked in the marked bays

I see what you mean from your picture. If there are some marked spots, you should just park like everyone.
Some people just believe are different to the rest of the mortals.

 

[DavidG58]

Also just spotted it’s not free, they will be round for some money in the morning so he will be gone when you get up

No charge. There is a pay machine and barrier but not been used for at least 10 months as far as I can see from the reviews. I am sure there was a notice saying it was free.

 

[VXman]

Whoops

OK - let me step to the 2 empty spots to my left. (Weirdly the only empty spaces, I wonder why???)

This is what they would see. He is in the road!

 

[Mousy]

I’d rather have him over there than parked next to me with his dog constantly barking …

 

[G7UXG]

Maybe motorhoming is not for you

For the huge cost of zero I'd just be quaffing me beer and thinking I might wander over on such a lovely evening to have a squint at the view.

Throw a few handful of breadcrumbs on his roof at 5 am, that will sort it

 

[steve 6644]

Kill the bastard!!

 

[suavecarve]

Why not put a beret on and whack some round your neck and park so close to him you can pass the salt.

Then get you chairs out and admire your washing out to dry.

Then empty your grey up hill of him

Remember to say au revoir when you leave though ..,. At 0500 hrs

 

[Gellyneck]

I suppose it's OK to park on a seafront road in front of somebody's house killing their view of the sea and then moan when their local council bans motorhome parking?

Selfishness again

 

[Saucer]

That would really annoy me

 

[Rob Turner]

Reverse right up to him, music flat out and get pissed.

That's twisted and cruel. I'll keep the idea

Hi gus-lopez , is this account yours too?

You could always sneak over there in the dead of night with your face camouflaged and a tyre valve removal tool clamped between your teeth

They left this morning so lovely clear view now. Even more annoying that they were there though. Went to bed early and left early - what was the point?

Cant see that working. He would be there even longer waiting for breakdown to pump tyre up

There are quite a few people who encounter signage etc. and think to themselves 'that doesn't include me'
