What happened this evening op?

TeetotalKoala · 12/03/2020 21:38

Checking in for the evening

BigFatLiar · 12/03/2020 11:26

Is X an official disabled spot

Don't know really. If the space is marked in white it should be advisory (should not park rather than must not park) however there is a proper sign which seems to say no parking in front of door (or similar) which isn't a disabled sign just a straight no parking sign. So I suspect that the space is advisory and the no parking relates to A's drive/garage (can't remember if he has one).

I hope someone reports the constant illegal use of x 😉

Is X an official disabled spot, (I'm sure we've been told but I can't trawl through 3 threads!)? If it is then someone needs to ostentatiously take photos of her car parked in there, making sure she's watching, if she does the pink-dressing-gown dash say its misuse may be reported to the relevant authority.

Glaring at Cars would be a good band name. Grin

3 would have been just as easy, if not easier to park in; so totally unfair that she chose X.

C returned before she was up this morning, and replaced D in 1/2 Grin

Standing glaring at cars at 10pm...

Sounds like the start of a song or something Grin

WhatICallMyUsername · 12/03/2020 08:47

Presumably a legitimate space that she can't actually park in though Grin

TeetotalKoala · 12/03/2020 07:25

Was 3 still empty though?! The entitlement of her parking in a disabled bay because it's closer to her house than a legitimate space.

She parked in X. It's so ridiculous. It can't carry on.
Not sure what she thinks that standing glaring at cars at 10pm will achieve 🤷‍♀️

I feel said for Mr B definitely.. He's resorted to his shrugging due to years of trying to be supportive but being told he's ridiculous no doubt.. Also having a wife that can't park a 206 and gets this frustrated over parking must be so embarrassing.

givemebooks · 11/03/2020 22:06

Did she Y or not and is it all still ridiculous? :)

Anyone else feel sad for Mr B and the ear full he must be getting every night!

HelloBambinos · 11/03/2020 19:31

Oh dear her precious 1/2 space isn't available.. How ridiculous.. This can't go on you know 🤣.. Last night was disappointing let's hope tonight makes up for it

TeetotalKoala · 11/03/2020 19:24

Sounds like she's got plenty of space to manoeuvre into, with 3 being an end space, plus part of 2, but we know that that simply won't be good enough.

F needs to hurry up and come back off holiday too.

Excellent. We have space Y Smile.

No change yet. D looks to have gone to bed so even if no one fills up, she's still got a very "ridiculous" decision to make!

OP posts:
TeetotalKoala · 11/03/2020 18:45

Easier than explaining 'next to X'.

Hours yet before B comes home. Still time.

originalcatlady · 11/03/2020 17:44

Who invented Y? 🤣

C has now gone again so B will have to choose between X and 3. All those extra steps to her front door...

Assuming no one else comes home to add to the fun!

OP posts:
TeetotalKoala · 11/03/2020 17:27

D is being very passive aggressive!

Space in X and Y for B?

originalcatlady · 11/03/2020 16:32

Sooo C returned this morning, and because B was in her usual spot, parked in 2/3. D has now returned and has parked in 1/2. There's definitely touching going on.

Mrs K has parked in 4 all week, but I'm assuming now that F are away. Far too drama-less non-reaction to all this rule breaking for otherwise.

In my local supermarket this evening about the time the store stocks the shelves (including much coveted loo roll!), old couple walks by as I'm at the self checkout... "This is ridiculous, it can't go on..."

Had to have a little chuckle Grin

Ah nothing to see here tonight folks! Space for everyone to have half a space extra 😉

Eagerly awaiting tonight's instalment of Alphabet Street.

HelloBambinos · 10/03/2020 20:47

What's the situation at the moment @originalcatlady?
