Live parking!

[DailyMaui]

We have parking at the rear of our home - there’s six garages and space for four cars to park. Someone has parked across two of the spaces (one is where I park) and the only place for me to park and not inconvenience the other two cars belonging to residents is to block the CF car in.

We live right in a town centre so people do often park there and get really arsey if confronted. There’s a big private sign so it isn’t as if they don’t know.

Anyway, is it too early for wine?

Lovely. That’s Saturday afternoon taken up hitting the refresh button.

Oooh - this is going to be a good Saturday Thanks OP!

The parking clearly belongs to the two houses and 4 flats next to it. They can knock on doors - all of my neighbours know my car.

My favourite time someone parked there was when I returned from school drop off (and found a car full of ladies just getting out. Me: hi this is private parking - you will have to park elsewhere. Them: oh we’re just going to yoga, we will only be about an hour. Me: I need to park there. Them: but we’re not going to be long. Me: fine, but I will block you in and go to work in London. You’ll get your car back at around 8 tonight.

The swearing from them was epic. They moved their bloody car though.

Haha, that got them moving.

OP can you rig up CCTV to keep watch from the warmth of your home - and live stream for us

Ooooh I've just enjoyed a delicious home baked savoury scone, am curled up on my sofa and now there's a CF parking thread to follow😍

Feels like Saturday cannot get much better😂

Waiting with baited breath for the 'but its not hurting anyone" posts.

I am very much in the block them in and see what happens camp :)

we were due a good parking one,block them in get photots as evidence just in case have a few drinks

I heard angry beeping so I rushed upstairs and stood on a box in my daughter’s bedroom to see if I can see anything - but a mass of unruly ivy on top of a fence in someone else’s garden is blocking my view.
Might take the dog round for a quick look. He’s a very big dog and hates cheeky fuckers

Block them in and if they come to your door, you've been drinking so cant move it.

Ooooooh, exciting!!!

I bet whoever it is, they're a complete twat. Check it out and take the dog for a very long walk.

Yes that's a good idea, I think the dog needs a nice long walk!

Grabbing the popcorn

Angry beeping already, this could be good.

stay where you are, blow them, shouldnt have parked there

Settling in for this one

Oo! Exciting!

Could it not be a visitor to one of the other residents? I used to live somewhere with parking like that and if there was a random car it was almost always someone's guest.

Wish I had popcorn 🍿

Can I be the first to enquire whether you have a local rugby team?

Unfolds lawn chair, opens popcorn

Ooooh I have never in my Mumsnet days been on a live parking thread. I always seem to find them after the event!

I think it's the fact they've taken 2 space that just makes it far far worse!

Place marking after reading there’s already angry beeping

I did similar blocking in once and the cheeky fuckers ‘bounced’ my car out of the way 😱

My outrage was uncontainable.

It's a shame you don't have a dash cam... do you have a dash cam?
