There's nothing more annoying than getting to the supermarket with your kids to find all the parent and child spaces are taken.
Cue a trek from the other side of the car park with the rugrats in tow.
So one woman decided to take drastic action when she saw a man - on his own - getting into his car in one of these spaces outside a branch of Sainsbury's.
And she was so pleased with her plan, she decided to tell everyone about it on Mumsnet .
The woman explained: "I just blocked in a man in a parent and child space in sainsbury (sic) car park.

"Cheered myself right up. Watched him load bags into his car and into the seats of his two high backed boosters.
"Told him politely it was a parent and child space and he lied and said his wife was in the shop still with his children.
"He looked so shifty. So I said I'd wait for her to come out (was parked behind his car waiting for him to finish loading).
"He stormed off with his trolley and then had to admit on his return that there was no wife/children with him and he wanted to leave."

But her pride was short-lived as not everyone thought it was a good plan.
While some mums congratulated her on the prank, others were furious.
One wrote: "So you behaved like a t**t to try and match him? What a great example to set your kids!"
Another put it more simply, commenting: "You're a d**k."
One said: "How anyone can get this worked up about a child and parent parking space is beyond me, disabled parking I could understand but this is just daft.

She did have some support. TellMeIAmBonkers came to the rescue, writing: "I'm team OP! Well done. I was in a car park the other day and had to watch some smug t**t in a mercedes (sic) convertible pull into the last remaining P&C space right in front of me.
"I then had to park miles away from the entrance in a space that barely let me open the doors and squeeze the DCs through the tiny gap. Getting them back into their child seats was a blast.
"Thanks, mercedes guy!"
