To add to the list

Another pet hate I've discovered recently...

Imagine yourself driving to a little country town, finding a long stay car park, and wishing to park to spend the day. You can see lots of parking spaces, it's early in the day, but only one pay machine for the whole car park - say 100 spaces or so. So, you pull up by the pay machine, switch off the engine [presumably], purchase your ticket, get back in the car, fire it up again and drive, oh I don't know, 100 yards to the parking spot. Then you get out and walk into town.

Why? It must take longer, it doesn't save walking that far, or much time. And anyway, you're in a car park which is a long stay one, so it's a walk into town anyway, you must be able to walk it. So why do it? You are irritating some of us - there's no designated waiting bay for people too lazy to park properly and walk back to the pay machine, so we have to squeeze past on our way to park.

I suppose it's divine retribution, and I should give up the car and take the train...
