Should we have more parking spaces allocated by driver gender?
Nobody told me we had a communication problem

    There should just be a general parking area for women at the supermarket as they tend to ignore the white lines at the side of the box anyway. :D

    It makes sense to me.

    Nearer the exits so that women in high heels don't have to totter as far to get to and from the shops to buy more high heels.
    Well lit so that they can see better when they are touching up their make-up.
    Wider so that they don't have to stress their pretty little heads too much about fitting in between those pesky white lines.

    Anyway, men like squeezing into tight spaces.

    Yet it's usually men parked outside the lines rather than women because men are too lazy to make any effort to get their vehicle between the lines :roll:

    In all seriousness the well lit spaces are a good idea. It can be quite scary having to walk to your car in an empty poorly lit car park in the middle of winter.

    Well, we aim to get it inside the lines but sometimes our aim ain't so good and it goes it the wrong place. ;)

    My personal vote would be to make all supermarket parking women only :)

    I don't agree.
