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

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!

Are you sure the passer by wasn't walking a cat ?

Hmmmmm....so...not only have you provided us with a diagram that clearly shows what is happening, you have also told us what the outcome of the situation was.

Poor show OP, very poor show Grin

I think you should be the new court artist. You are not supposed to add commentary on those but I think for you an exception will be made.

Just one more thing, he reversed off at speed and disappeared in the direction he was reversing in. Did he ever turn around, or do you think he completed his journey entirely in reverse, such was his shock.

OP, I think I love you. How long have you been waiting for a parking incident so you could do a diagram?!

Stupendous diagrams with excellent colour added to help set the scene

This is actually my second parking incident - the first one happened a few years ago when my then new neighbour first moved in..... and I wasn't on MN Shock so the world never got to hear of his twattery.

Maybe I should reprise my role as outraged single woman sorts CF misogynistic neighbour of 2010 at some point!

I'd like to think he's still in reverse and still reversing - at least until Monday!

That'll larn him. Wink

@Jensonfromtheblock

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.
Narrows eyes...... yeeees, it was you wasn't it!
