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!

Hmm you appear to have posted more than 6 already. Maybe it's just me Mumsnet restrict to 6.... EnvyEnvyEnvy

Can you get your friend to video if you have to leave? Can someone else pick up prescription for you?

whoareyoukidding · 13/01/2018 15:34

Another vote for brilliant thread and diagram :)

DH has agreed to go to the later showing at the cinema so I don’t need to LTB !

SoozC · 13/01/2018 15:34

There MUST be a Mumsnetter close to OP who can go and take over surveillance?! I need to find out what happens here!

toobusytothink · 13/01/2018 15:34

Apparently you can only post a video through YouTube (very happy to have excuse to post and not merely placemarking ...)

We're meant to be having a no drink day but this has made me want wine. In a good way. Like celebraty.

You'll have to leave your phone recording on the fence.

Twickerhun · 13/01/2018 15:31

Is there a maximum number of images you can post on MN a day?
No idea about posting videos.

I need to leave at 4/4.30 to pick up my prescription (very much needed) so I'm hoping for a fast resolution, else I'll miss it!

The chair! Grin

MadMags · 13/01/2018 15:30

Maybe he is the grandson of a vulnerable neighbour.

And he's been away saving lives somewhere.

And Vulnerable Old Neighbour (VON) was being taken advantage of by CF's counterpart: Bastard Grandson.

And VON was about to sign over all her worldly goods to BG and CF had no time to lose! Had to run in and smack pen from VON's hand and then make tea for the shock?

And he's a millionaire also so he won't take her money.

Ooogetyooo · 13/01/2018 15:30

Go easy balancing on that chair.

Agree we need parking/wedding thread.
Like platypus idea...
Now also hoping for adorable, hugely apologetic CF.
Can you see if back of car full of presents for underprivileged children?
Perhaps world famous heart surgeon who got call to perform lifesaving transplant and was escorted away in an ambulance?

LittleMe03 · 13/01/2018 15:28

Massively overinvested.

Please let there be a tow truck - PLEEEEZE.

Cheesymonster · 13/01/2018 15:25

Ooh that'd be a plot twist, CF being hot and strong jawed and deeply apologetic.

How do I post a video?
I used my camera tripod to lean the phone over the fence and survey the crime scene...
