To decorate my neighbour’s new ‘no parking outside my door’ signs with a bit of tinsel?

The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

My favourite thread of the day!

All the suggestions are brilliant. Esp your photo, the Santa park here sign and fairy lights.

Do them, do them, do them!

Sorry that I'm too sad to come out with better ideas to add.

Santa has parked, I feel alive! You’ve made me realise I’ve been thinking about this too short term, think elf might have to appear tomorrow

I’d remove the sign. And plonk the tinsel in its place. People can’t just make up their own laws at others’ expense. Cheeky as fuck.

Oh no. Who can be first to say "invisible disability"?

Do I win??

Philomensapie · 20/12/2018 21:05

YANBU. In fact, YWBU not to.

PositivelyPERF · 20/12/2018 21:04

No, definitely not disabled sighs contentedly and settles in 🍿 🍷 🛋

Carry on, OP.

InvisibleLlama · 20/12/2018 21:02

Tinsel, lights and a Farrow and Ball paint card, if you please.

Hohocabbage · 20/12/2018 21:01

Brick through it? Sorry, brick with glitter on it through it?

No, definitely not disabled, rants to me about how unfair everyone is as I smile and nod. I am very dull and therefore beyond suspicion

I love it 😂

PositivelyPERF · 20/12/2018 20:58

Is there a very ill or disabled person in the house, OP? Just trying to work out if he’s overstepping or in desperation. really really hope OP says no 🤞🏻

Betsy86 · 20/12/2018 20:56

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 20/12/2018 20:53

Just cut my hand pretty badly fitting this bauble in but think we can agree it was totally worthwhile

Elf in handcuffs by the sign

glueandstick · 20/12/2018 20:37

Get a toy jcb from the charity shop and get an elf to park it badly next to it. Preferably crashed into it.

FuzzyCustard · 20/12/2018 20:35

Can you change "parking" to "farting"?

Katiepoes · 20/12/2018 20:35

Perhaps a 'Santa please stop here' sign right in front of it?

Skatersbeskating · 20/12/2018 20:34

Stick a - "Please park here" sign over it Halo

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 20/12/2018 20:34

Please do decorate it! Place marking to see what you do x

badlydrawnperson · 20/12/2018 20:32

I couldn’t give a shiny shite about the parking issue, it’s just not very festive is it?
