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?

@DailyMaui

There’s only been one cheeky fucker repeat offender. It’s always worse before Christmas and I came back to find two spaces taken up by a large white, very fancy car. Knocked on all the neighbour’s door but it wasn’t theirs/guests so figured it was yet another mean arsed shopper who didn’t want to spend the £1.50 parking in the car park half a minute away. Despite its fanciness, it was quite grubby so I wrote “you park like a cunt” on the back. I didn’t block it in though as I was feeling generous. Christmas spirit an all.

About a month later it was back and again parked across two spaces (who the fuck does that anyway?) I was just backing in to block it when the owner returned. She tried the “ I live here” rubbish and when that clearly didn’t work she pretended it was her first time and she didn’t know it was private… So I told her that she still had the remains of “you park like a cunt” on her rear end and it was me who had done it the last time.

Ungrateful teen maintains she said 5.30 instead of . We have wasted very precious time.

I think I love you.

Here's one of the major problems with living in Australia (besides having to deal with 5 consecutive days of 40+ degrees) - I always miss out on the live CF parking threads! It is nearly 2am and I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Sad

That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard.
BluebellsareBlue · 22/01/2022 18:00

It's an easy mistake to make as the champions played last night and that's all that matters 😂😜

purpleboy · 22/01/2022 18:00

We ar back and I’m FURIOUS.

Car has gone. Bloody ungrateful teen.

I think I took a picture of the “you park like a cunt” car and message so I will find that and post it as an apology for the frankly rubbish ending.

Oh no!!! Still. By the sounds of it, there will be a next time!

I was about to jump to your brothers defence but I see others have beat me to it, it's the Scottish Cup games today. They normally kick off at 3pm (I was involved in 3 rounds before the team I worked with got knocked out) but I suppose if you are Celtic special you get to choose Wink.
Hopefully the CF is gone when you get back!

MeridianB · 22/01/2022 18:25

@DobbyTheHouseElk

I was watching a man in a Ford ranger today and I was reminded of that thread. He was doing something quite fastidiously.
I’d never noticed them before that thread. Now whenever I see one I think of that drama (and wonder if it just might be the CF!).
ThePlumVan · 22/01/2022 18:48

Ahh I’ve missed this in real time Sad

Every Ranger driver gets ‘the glare’ after that splendid thread.
