Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

We live in a housing estate and each house or flat has one or two spaces allocated to them. Most of the spaces are directly outside our houses except a few that are round the side that have garages. The spaces aren't numbered but everyone seems to know who's is whose. There's a new neighbour that has moved in next door to me (a corner house) and has a garage parking space round the back of her house, however she uses both my spaces as she parks in the middle of them. It's quite annoying when there's nowhere else to park as you have to park further down the road.

I went over today and introduced myself and poilitley told her the spaces were mine and hers was round the back but she was welcome to use our other space when we don't have guests but could she park to one side so I can fit my car next to hers. She looked at me with a blank expression, said no and shut the door on me! What do I do now!? I just stood there for a moment open mouthed and then went home.

Now I'm not sure if she has mobility problems as she's not exactly nimble anymore (about 65) but I am shocked at her one word reply!

If 'waddling' and 'tubby' are disapproved of as beng fattist, please cut out the ageism as well. "Old bat" referring to a 65 year old is uncalled for, KissMyFatArse.

Oh the waddling ref was about weight?

And who said tubby parker? That was weight too? So dim today....

V useful thread for anyone who maintains a spreadsheet then. Several people outing themselves as wankers.

Apologies SDTG really no offence meant!

I know this is a funny thread - and I agree that the nasty neighbour deserves to be blocked in - and I am applauding the OP and her ingenious neighbour - but please could we manage without the tubby parker/waddling parker/lazy chubbsa insults, please?

I am overweight (and oversensitive today, I admit), but these words are making me sad.

RedHairDontCare · 18/02/2015 14:25

tubby parker thank you so much icelolly for making me spray water at my screen Grin

AmateurSeamstress · 18/02/2015 14:04

OP said she'll be out for most of today. Give her a break people!

TheMaddHugger · 18/02/2015 13:59

Please Plum, Update. Its 12.30 am and I need sleep and my f5 button is wearing out.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee Flowers

Cataline · 18/02/2015 13:44

NannyPlum What could possibly be more important than keeping us updated?!

jeanmiguelfangio · 18/02/2015 13:35

Totally marking my place- NAR you are a mumsnet legend, maybe he could come on and update us?!

KissMyFatArse · 18/02/2015 13:30

Apologies op to my selfish statement I am about to make, but I'm hoping the old bat continues to park on the spaces for just a couple more days...

Just so I can get watch (read)what unravels. Parking threads keep me glued!

icelollycraving · 18/02/2015 13:27

Selfish. I've popped on in my lunch break hoping for updates of the tubby parker. Angry

FarrowUndBall · 18/02/2015 13:17

Overinvested!

Jux · 18/02/2015 13:04

As the spaces are owned and she is occupying without permission then isn't that Trespass? You can call 101 and report her. They will (eventually) come around and have a word with her. She may give a shit then.

Or you could charge her for using your land. Offer her a bargain of £25 a day, x2 as she's parking across two spaces.

You might make a few quid out of her.

SirChenjin · 18/02/2015 13:03

This is ridiculous. I have logged onto MN in my lunch break and there is no update from the OP. Very poor show Nanny. I'm starting to understand why your neighbour is behaving the way she is, quite frankly Grin

Staywithme · 18/02/2015 13:01

OP has the temerity to carry on with her life?

Grin

I can see a new thread from Nannyplum "I started a thread and now Mumnetters have turned on me Sad" Grin

I'm a bit concerned that any kind of action other than repeatedly telling her not to park in other people's spaces, or blocking her in if she does, might result in her retaliatory action?
I've forgotten if we've been given an idea of her age, but she doesn't go out to work does she? so has time to make mischief when others aren't around.

Get that CCTV!

AcrossthePond55 · 18/02/2015 12:41

Wait, what? My DH is gone so I can be on MN all day without seeing cat's bum mouth from him! I was planning on sitting with Wine and just refreshing this thread for updates. And now OP has the temerity to carry on with her life?

How rude.

KitKat1985 · 18/02/2015 12:25

OP is there any way you could put birdseed in your parking space if rude bitch parks in it = her car covered in bird crap.

lunar1 · 18/02/2015 11:59

I can't believe you've gone out nanny, surely this is what sick days from work are for!

Lweji · 18/02/2015 11:52

A webcam! Bloody fantastic idea.

Thank you! Wink

nickdrakeslovechild · 18/02/2015 11:50

A webcam! Bloody fantastic idea.

Iamcuriouslyskanky · 18/02/2015 11:48

Any chance the OP can get a webcam up for us? I'm loving this, it's ace.

Blatherskite · 18/02/2015 11:47

Desperate to know what's happened!
