Live parking!

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?

I really think there is scope for another TV channel showing live parking issues. Be worth the subscription

@DailyMaui

I am a bit concerned about damage - the CF car is massive and a bit knackered. Might have to nip round and take a photo of car and reg just incase
Definitely do that, although from the (very nice) diagram it doesn't look as though the CF could get out without your car moving.

Maybe if the one alongside you left there might be room for CF to squeeze out with a bit of to-ing and fro-ing.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 22/01/2022 14:44

take the dog, will he bark ferociously?? Or will he show you up and keel over for a belly rub??

My two best boys both GSD's loved to bark at anyone who knocked on the door, but were beautifully mannered out of the house, so maybe wait until they knock for full fierce effect.

Placemarking.

Excited!

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
Ah, a Giant Cheekyfuckerhound.

Excellent choice of breed, I'd have one myself if I had the space.

Why do people do this? It's so stupid

It's never too early for wine in these circumstances

Can’t wait for an update!

DragonMamma · 22/01/2022 14:59

Actually did a mental fist pump when I saw the name of this thread. LOVE a Cf parking thread

2022success · 22/01/2022 15:03

Checking in. Just what I needed today.

Even if you haven't necked a bottle of wine OP - you can tell the CF you have Grin

Exciting afternoon reading!

Not parking myself here, oh no no no.
Sure, sure. And I’m not here to block you in Wink
DailyMaui · 22/01/2022 15:15

So me and HATECF dog went to have a look but no one was there so the beeping wasn’t them. Took a picture in case of damage and then went for a nice slow wander round the market with the keys. Still nothing to report sadly. I doubt it’s a visitor - Visitors usually park in front of cars so they don’t take up spaces for residents. There’s 6 properties and only space for four cars so we are pretty considerate and don’t encourage visitors to park there.

@JayAlfredPrufrock

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

My outrage was uncontainable.

Omg. That's outrageous. I would be LIVID. 😯🤣

Checking in. We have a few cheeky fuckers parking around here. One guy has a huge van and two horribly noisy cars that he parks in every bodies way. I sat gleefully watching the other day as a PCSO came by and ticketed them all (permit parking only on the road). Waited all day to see him come out but bloody missed it when I went to the loo!
