I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

Ah well, unsuspected, maybe Tow truck man will be at the party, as a knight on a white charger, and you can gallop off into the sunset (clutches at still getting fairy tale ending)

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 13/01/2018 16:36

Ahhh dammit!! Why wasn’t he towed? He is untaxed!

MadMags · 13/01/2018 16:35

My God. What? No!!!!!!

What about all the plans? What about Colin Filthy, the Tow Truck Man? Or Colin Firthy, the adorable millionaire?

What about Gentleman Pickle and the biscuits???

I can't believe it's ended like this. Sad

However, the costume makes it official. You are the Best MNer Ever and should be praised and worshipped accordingly.

BUT (and I'm being 100% serious and honest here) the street smells really strongly of gas (really!! And after PPs were talking of faking it!) which without CF, I wouldn't have been out long enough to notice so maybe between us we've avoided an explosion as I called that in.

Best thread I've read in ages (even if we didn't get to see it towed).
Thanks OP

The parting gift has been the absolute icing on the cake.

Bravo, op, bravo.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 13/01/2018 16:34

Even the unicorn looks sad.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/01/2018 16:34

but on the other hand you do not know whetehr he got a bolloclking at his home address.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 13/01/2018 16:33

I was hoping it got towed and CF came back thinking the car was nicked, only find out it was towed.

InsomniacAnonymous · 13/01/2018 16:33

Shock Sad Angry

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 13/01/2018 16:33

Nooooooo!! Sob!
In retrospect we should have urged you to lie in front of the car in your unicorn costume. What were we thinking???

raviolidreaming · 13/01/2018 16:32

This isn't how it was meant to end.

holyshitdude · 13/01/2018 16:32

The bastard. The fucking bastard!

pickleofficer · 13/01/2018 16:32

Goddamnit, am too late!

gallicgirl · 13/01/2018 16:32

Nonono!

50ShadesOfEarlGrey · 13/01/2018 16:31

I’m so impressed your Pickle Officers came round, the police here don’t even bother to ticket the abandoned cars that were parked on the pavement, encompassing double yellows OUTSIDE THE POLICE STATION! Maybe I need to offer them biscuits or something, dressed as a fantasy figure.........
