Unlike the men in car parks who take an age trying to decide which parking space they are going to go in.
And when they do decide they take an age straightening the car up!

The parking skills of women are generally far worse than that of men.
Not straight. Straddling white lines. In, out, in, out god knows how many times. I've seen it all.
But the best was watching a woman try to reverse into a space that already had a car in it.
The look of confusion on her face as she tried to work out why the car would not reverse any further was a picture.
I kid you not.

My local shopping centre car park has its fair share of Gad's slags and wannabe WAGs in 4x4s.
I caught one woman the other day thundering the wrong way up an aisle, thus jumping the other queuing cars, so she could slew her BMW X5 into a space. I tried to stare disapprovingly at her but to no effect as she was too busy yakking on her mobile.
Speeding, driving the wrong way, and using her mobile. Genius ...

Maybe it's because most of the people usin the supermarket are women?
Not being controversial but I wonder if it's true - certainly during the day it's usually going to be a woman, and I know plenty of households that still have the male as the primary breadwinner, and therefore woman (even if she holds down a job, which is less well paid and less stressy than blokey) does shopping, housekeeping and child related things.
Not noticed in the evening as I try to avoid the supermarket it stresses me too much!

Actually a woman annoyed me in Sainsbury's car park the other day.
The lazy bint drove right up to the ticket machine in her Galaxy, not leaving a gap and cutting me up (I was on foot), then spent a minute or so going through her handbag to find

I only say what I see
Women do the speeding in car parks for the most part
Of course, there is also (but rarely) the male chav
I find it odd that so many women dither
And do that incredible thing of stopping at junctions when there is no need
Yet they think it is OK to fly around a car park at 30mph, when a safe speed would be one third of that
Esp given the current row about Mother and Baby spaces, safety et al

I've noticed it too, Pete.
They roar around car parks, outside schools etc, when idle speed would be more appropriate.
Yet NEVER speed up on an open road. Tend to be the 40mph everywhere (Autobahnen, playgrounds, roundabouts) brigade.
It's merely total lack of any judgement.
