Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

😉

Do make sure you are outside when the rude woman returns. Great I told you so moment!

Cant believe I've got to the point in life where this is just fabulous Thursday night entertainment 😂

Love it. Those wankers who think normal rules just don't apply to them getting their just desserts. (How the feck do you spell comupance??)

Comeuppance.

I wonder where the towed car will get taken. I had my car towed once (overseas city with complicated parking rules depending on whether it snowed or not) and they just towed it around the corner.

The photos have elevated this out of the league of other parking threads. Especially seeing as one is fuck off woman's car being towed. All the time I've wasted on MN has been for this moment.

Would come watch with a g&t from the bench at the top, but I’m not built for that walk!

Are you two going to meet up now???

mashpot · 21/04/2022 20:51

Couldn’t be happier about Fuck Off car. Justice.

Fevertree · 21/04/2022 20:49

Oh I so hope this thread is kept updated! Brilliant that fuck off woman's car was towed first

I love (having cross referenced photos and diagram) that your diagram was accurate in terms of car colours.

ZarquonsSandals · 21/04/2022 20:46

Can't wait for the fuck off ladies to come back.

Blossomtoes · 21/04/2022 20:45

Budge up everyone. Settling in.

I did think the photos would make it VERY obvious but got caught up in all the excitement!
