Parking thread

This isn’t going to be too exciting but thought I’d post anyway because it’s been a while since we’ve had a parking thread. We have an assigned parking space in a private car park where everyone has an assigned space. No visitor spaces and no street parking in the vicinity. An unknown CF who does not have an assigned space has been parking in various spaces over the past month preventing residents from using their spaces (we hypothesise he is a commuter due to location and the times he is found parked there). DH has snapped and blocked in CF today as he is in our space. DH’s car is not obstructing anyone else. He’s currently wondering whether to move his car or leave it overnight. Will update if anything interesting happens.

Your DH is ruining my evening

TopBitchoftheWitches · 07/02/2020 22:15

How long is your DH at the gym for?

Reginabambina · 07/02/2020 23:33

Hi guys, sorry for the delayed response. DH got back fairly late (met a friend in the steam room and spent ages chatting) and then we talked for ages when he got back. So the CF is still there. It looks like they’ve abandoned the car for the night. Apparently DH has been photographing this car for weeks each time it’s parked in the car park and is thinking about suing - talk about the wrong kind of aggressive! At least it’s unlikely they’ll park in our spot again.

@CoffeeRunner my husband is a freak of nature. He likes to do a work out in the evening followed up by a bit of reading/writing/socialising, followed by a stupid amount of food before eventually passing out and doing it all the next day. To be really honest I think the real thought process is he feels peckish around 8pm and decides he’s not allowed to eat unless he does a work out so off he goes (he’d do pretty much anything for food).

Has he parked behind them again? So I’d say not an office worker, more likely a resident?

nocoolnamesleft · 07/02/2020 23:37

I trust he's blocking them in again, now he's back?

Weenurse · 07/02/2020 23:43

Has anyone spotted the culprit?

Reginabambina · 08/02/2020 00:13

No sightings but the car park isn’t really over looked. He’s not normally there that late so we’re assuming he found himself blocked in and abandoned the car for the night. DH has parked elsewhere (we do want our spot back eventually so he needs to be able to leave at some point).

If he’s not gone by tomorrow afternoon will probably just block in again and leave number in the wipers.

Good plan

BruceAndNosh · 08/02/2020 03:56

I mean this with the greatest respect OP, but you are married to a wuss.
Your DP has parked elsewhere rather than reblock the CF?

Nanna50 · 08/02/2020 05:52

Is this a parking thread?

BunnytheElephant · 08/02/2020 13:18

It was so not a parking thread

Summary - someone who shouldn’t have parked here parked here and my DH blocked him in for 5 mins and then thought better of it but hopefully the unauthorised parker knows we’re disappointed in him

SauvignonBlanche · 08/02/2020 13:20

Can’t believe he’s been unblocked. Confused

TopBitchoftheWitches · 08/02/2020 13:32

So is he still there?

dappledsunshine · 08/02/2020 13:53

Yes sorry op as far as parking threads go this is a very underwhelming one 😬

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 08/02/2020 14:27

Is the cf still there?

SauvignonBlanche · 08/02/2020 14:31

Your DH has let you down, he’s let himself down and worst of all, he’s let MN down Sad

Reginabambina · 11/02/2020 20:53

Apologies for the delayed response. The plot thickens. CF was spotted getting into his car at the supermarket. Apparently he is a skin head and doesn’t seem to be working in the office at all. We have no idea who he is or why he was parking in our spaces. So far he hasn’t been spotted in our car park since being blocked in but it’s still to early today whether he’s gone for good. DH seems completely unphased. Sending him for a brain scan as there must be something wrong with him.

BunnytheElephant · 11/02/2020 21:02

He wasn’t blocked in though was he?

I thought your DH left to go to the gym

DrSheldonCooperPHD · 11/02/2020 21:04

Ugh I've really lost interest in this

foxystoatfoxypig · 11/02/2020 21:19

A skin head? Of course 🙄

BunnytheElephant · 11/02/2020 21:24

C- for effort OP

Reginabambina · 12/02/2020 08:18

@BunnytheElephant be waited around long enough for the usual time when the guy left to pass.

@foxystoatfoxypig I’m just repeating information here. I’m not 100% on what a skinhead is exactly but all I can say is that it’s a good thing my husband didn’t get interested in this otherwise there would have been a brawl between two bald men in a car park.
