Shoppers at a Tesco store in Musselburgh, Edinburgh, were left furious after a motorist parked their Hyundai across four parking spaces.
The incident, which occurred at the busy supermarket car park, sparked outrage among local residents who were attempting to complete their Christmas shopping.
An image shared on social media showed the vehicle positioned squarely in the middle of four parking bays, preventing other cars from using the spaces.
The inconsiderate parking has drawn particular criticism as it comes during the congested festive period, with locals taking to social media to express their frustration.
Among the social media responses, one resident suggested a playful solution: "Be a shame if two drivers parked sideways in front and behind them."
The incident sparked numerous humorous comments from other frustrated locals.
"Maybe someone should buy them a colouring book for Christmas since they clearly struggle with staying inside the lines," wrote one commenter.
Another local quipped: "Looks like they got their driving license out of a cereal box."

Some residents called for more direct action, with one commenting: "Yes, name and shame in future—although people like this just don't care about others."
The parking issue has been exacerbated by reduced space availability in the Tesco car park, with Christmas displays taking up several parking spots during the festive period.
Some locals speculated whether the driver might have been attempting to use disabled or family parking spaces, which are typically in high demand at the store.
