So. C got home about half an hour ago, the first time in days she's been back before 10. She's parked in X and is still there blaring her music (she does this whatever time she comes home, you can hear the words over your TV). A has been out three times now, knocking on her window, tried her door, and indicated for her to wind her window down. She's just completely ignoring him.

Not sure about where you are OP but our local council has removed all parking restrictions at the moment so C would legitimately be able to park in X for now.

Morally, taking a disabled space when you don't need one, is a different matter...

How often does B normally go shopping? If they haven't got a big freezer they might need to go out sooner than later.

Are your shops in walking distance?

MaggieFS · 28/03/2020 14:57

I'm guessing C is fed up of not being able to park because B parks like a twat, so she's resorting to X and will claim key worker status as a reason to get away with it.

@purplecorkheart
Yes, there are...good thinking! My husband used to use them the large sheet post it notes for presentations and for note taking instead of writing on a white board. They were huge and fit on an easel Grin
When he was practicing his presentations he would have the sheets stuck all over the walls in the lounge or breakfast room. One time the bottom of a post it sheet caught on fire when the wind blew it toward the stove when I was making breakfast 🤣....fortunately since i was standing right there i was able to extinguish it quickly. As none of the actual writing was burnt, he still took the post it to the presentation! The female VP of the company was stunned when she saw it...he didn't care what she thought because he didn't think too highly of the company.....
I'm STILL lol-ing every time I think about it...the page looked like one of those fake treasure maps with the edges burnt all around to make it appear to be old....my husband, the pirate and his fake treasure map🏴‍☠️

Is there something similar to A4 size post its. If we got A some of them we would all know what message he is writing.

Althoooouuuggghhh.....

A and C's feud may continue to entertain us. He's just arranging a row of post it's across his front door and window...assuming for her return. She never takes the bait though.

C works in care. She doesn't seem to have her DC very often- she's never here. There's no Mr C.

I'm interested to know what c does.. Is there a Mr c as it always seems C is the one doing school runs and working etc.. Sorry if this has been discussed I'm writing an essay due in Monday so my mind is all neurological conditions.. What day is it? HahahahaHELP

OlaEliza · 27/03/2020 13:41

What does C do?

Hopefully someone gets 1/2 when B goes shopping.

purplecorkheart · 27/03/2020 09:20

Its a shame we can't hotwire the cars and switch them around.

Weenurse · 27/03/2020 06:51

I have settled into my chair, anticipating my alphabet street entertainment, and I get this!
Not fair😢

Tandia · 26/03/2020 22:19

Dammit, we need alphabet street action more than ever now there is so little action in our own lives! Does B never need to go shopping?

How long has B been in 'her' space now? Really cross that Coronavirus might bring this glorious thread to an end! Thanks OP Wine Flowers Cake

I think Alphabet Street would combust if everyone was on the doorstep at the same time.

Bs work closed today so it might be the end of the thread...

Only C continues to work, using X every day.

And giving each other dirty looks while giving jaw clenching smiles

HedgehogDramas · 26/03/2020 21:26

Did you all go out at 8pm and clap for the NHS OP? I can see the residents of Alphabet Street united with their clapping but secretly eyeing up any empty parking spaces!!

purplecorkheart · 26/03/2020 19:52

How are things on alphabet Street today?

Tandia · 24/03/2020 22:28

If anything similar happens again I definitely think you should report them, OP. So many people have shut down their businesses at significant personal cost, due to the new rules, and they think this is the time to party?! What is wrong with them?

My favourite! Can you manage to print it and stick it on B's car?

I know! It's clearly the street of, obey my rules but not the actual law, whether it's parking related or not!
