It can definitely drain the battery.

Doesn't it mess up the car's engine doing stupid short movements like these? Very bizarre!
Such entertainment tho!

@Grrrpredictivetex I don't even understand the logic of moving at night when you're out at 5am. In fact I don't understand the need to move three feet at any point!

Why the f*#k do they bother moving when they're going out ? Total head scratch. Hmm

C went out before tea, B came out and moved back into her spot.

C returned and "had to" park in X.

B went out after tea, C came out and moved back into 1/2.

C went back out, B came out and moved back into her spot.

Any more moves this evening?!

Agree with the suggestion that a video of the ranting or parking needs to be made

Ah, all we got today was parked touching C and a hand-on-hips glare.

C continues with her passive aggressive 1/2 stance for the day.

Perk!

Welshmaenad · 04/03/2020 21:48

I don't understand why A has a designated disabled space for visitors. Unless the visitors are themselves disabled, or are using A's blue badge because he is going to be getting in the car and therefore they're parking there for his benefit, the visitors are no more entitled than any other non blue badge holder to use a designated disabled space. You don't get one just as a peek of being disabled. It is solely for the use of disabled resident driver, or disabled resident who requires close access for regular use.

SallyLovesCheese · 04/03/2020 20:56

I'm really wishing I was visiting this road because then I could stand around with B when she's moaning and say "Yeah, if this selfish person hadn't parked in the middle of this bay (1/2) then two cars could fit in".

Not that it would probably bother her!

GabsAlot · 04/03/2020 20:54

As much as it is B fault for taking up two spaces noone should park in X its not A's fault

HelloBambinos · 04/03/2020 20:30

How did the rant end earlier? What's the situation op?

WhatICallMyUsername · 04/03/2020 19:20

FFS what's up with my links, just click the bottom bit

WhatICallMyUsername · 04/03/2020 19:19

I could be wrong, it happens a lot, but I think it was the OP from the Olaf parking thread who shared the link to the Christmas parking thread. Apologies for the long link, it won't let me do a clicky for some reason Hmm

decorate my neighbour’s new ‘no parking outside my door’ signs with a bit of tinsel? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3456654-To-decorate-my-neighbour-s-new-no-parking-outside-my-door-signs-with-a-bit-of-tinsel Christmas parking

TheHumanSatsuma · 04/03/2020 19:10

Have I missed something? When were the council called?

@sunshinesupermum

Thanks for the Christmas link originalcatlady

Could you point me in the direction of that one please! Many thanks Grin

Depending on where you live white bays are 'advisory' i.e. area needed for a disabled person but actually anyone can park (so why have it you may well ask), some areas make them blue badge only using local parking restrictions. The yellow bays with blue signs are the general 'blue badge only' bays where only blue badge holders can park there.

MaggieFS · 04/03/2020 18:05

Are A's visitors entitled to use the disabled space if they themselves are not disabled???
