Is this possibly the shortest PARKING THREAD ever?....with diagrams

[PopcornPeacock]

Earlier this morning was going upstairs and looked out of the little staircase window to see another car parked on my drive along side my car. The street was clear so not as if there was a parking problem.

Went out of the front door to see who it was/what was he doing there and he looked up, startled/bit shocked maybe, started up his car and took off in reverse, presumably back down the street from whence he came.

Never seen before or since!

Stunning artistry OP.

Tempted to nominate you for classics for your artwork alone
(certainly not for the thread content which proved to be resolved disappointingly quickly)

Excellent diagram although I am a little concerned that your car appears to be on it's side not upright.

I am waiting for someone to come onto the thread to tell you YABU because you clearly have a large drive and only one car and it would be the nice thing to offer that space to the perpetrator for free as well as taking a cup of tea and washing his car for him while he is visiting whoever he wants to visit.

Penguin bollards now unloading!

Penguin bollards now unloading!

That actually had me laughing outloud. Well done OP. More doodles please they're amazing. 🤣🤣

I’m worried as that dog walker witness looks exactly like me. Waiting for the knock at the door from the police now for leaving the scene of a crime.

@MumofSpud

I think that is me walking my dog - my hair is just like that this morning- it is almost a photo!!

Oops didn’t see this. Perhaps we are twins. It even looks like my dog though.

You have set the bar for parking diagrams

Op, do you take requests?

We could suggest Mumsnet thread that you could immortalise in doodles.

Sistine chapel, t-rexing in Asda, Mexican holiday thief - that sort of thing!

Brian's yoni massage might be a step too far though...

Your drawings have made me giggle - however I do have to agree with PP that your neighbour is clearing walking a cat

I think you have set a new precedent OP.
Concise with a swift satisfying outcome along with fabulous artistry.
What more could you want from a parking thread.
The bar is set.

Wonderful detailed diagrams! Please seek out further parking shenanigans, on your own drive or elsewhere, so we can have more diagrams.

Love the diagrams

YABU to say "from whence".
"Whence" already means "from where", so to effectively say "from from where" is nonsensical.

Yes... and in between drawings one and two, the cat's tail has disappeared.

@roundtable Youve made my day ty

I'll have nightmares for weeks about Brian's yoni massage in clipart format though

Those 2 pictures told me whole story OP. I did not need to read a single word. I think you have made a breakthrough here in making parking threads more accessible and from now on they should only ever be told through the mode of drawing.

....it's all going on out there now!

Was the dog a Chihuahua ? 🤣

10/10 for the diagram though

Mumsnet Official Parking Thread Artist - acronym MOPTA.

You're the MOPTA OP.

Preens!

but I bloody love that your drawings probably took longer than the incident.

I love this too Poor sod probably got the wrong house and is now MN famous...

Really you should have waited til he got out and wandered off and given us a real CF parking thread, rookie error!

You forgot the rain, it's pouring it down out there. I bet the penguins are jumping in puddles in their wellies. 🤣🤣

Good grief......... it's a Manx cat!!!

Poor sod saw me at my early morning finest - wild hair, PJ's and not then had my first morning cuppa. Think I'd have reversed from me too!
