What's with the spelling out of knob??

Ostryga · 04/09/2023 20:31

You can swear here btw. Call them a cunt, it’ll make you feel better

Are you talking about the 3 mm that the Tesla is over the line? It's not like you can't get into your car or anything. 🤷

Doggydarling · 04/09/2023 20:46

What's the major problem with that parking? The boot will still open. My car is longer than most parking spaces and is over the lines as a result, not a lot I can do about it.

So distracted trying to figure out what you meant by this that you lost me

And how do you stand between the cars to get things into your boot?

Or are you size 4 and 6'6"?

SpamFrittersYouSay · 04/09/2023 20:49

The parking is fine.

Your spelling which renders your post illegible, isn't.

If it was me and no other option than the boot then I'd jump into the drivers seat and move the car forward a foot. Then open the boot.

Otherwise it would just get lobbed on the back seats instead.

DrMarshaFieldstone · 04/09/2023 20:54

That’s really not that bad, and you can say knob.

CameronCook · 04/09/2023 20:55

Standard parallel parking on some of the crowded streets near the station round here.

eurochick · 04/09/2023 21:01

I'm really not seeing an issue. The Tesla is over the line by an inch or two. Move you car forward a couple of inches if you are not agile enough to get to the boot.

Blackblueandgold · 04/09/2023 21:02

I thought that was a massive typo in your title. Why did you do that?

Clymene · 04/09/2023 21:02

Whatever happened to making parents' lives easier?

In the last few days, there have been so many posters starting new threads where their complaint has been really reasonable and they've been absolutely pilloried.

I don't know why, but it's so fucking childish and deeply unpleasant. It really doesn't feel like it should be what this place is about. I cannot fathom the psychology of someone who gets off on being really unpleasant to a complete stranger on the internet.

Doggymummar · 04/09/2023 21:03

Nothing wrong with that

FeigningConcern · 04/09/2023 23:14

That looks like a bay car park? In which case you should have driven in forwards if you wanted to be sure of access to your boot. Weird to drive in backwards and then moan that someone's parked behind you!

DrJump · 04/09/2023 23:41

That looks like a perfectly reasonable park. If I know I need access to the boot I wouldn't park with my boot in.

ToastyCrumpets · 04/09/2023 23:44

But there would be access to the boot if the Tesla had kept to their own space. And it’s safer to reverse in, surely?

Ohthatsabitshit · 04/09/2023 23:46

Well I drive a van so you’d find it even more inconvenient to get into your boot. Why don’t you park face in if you are loading?

CandyLeBonBon · 04/09/2023 23:50

I've seen way worse. Please get mnhq to change your title. It reads like you've made a massive, indecipherable typo!

BIWI · 04/09/2023 23:52

AS shows that @Failingatthemoment is one of those irritating posters who starts a thread and then fails to come back to it Hmm

MajesticWhine · 04/09/2023 23:56

Someone once left a note on my car saying "stop parking like a prick". It gave me a laugh.

HarrietSchulenberg · 04/09/2023 23:59

I'm assuming you're moaning because someone parked behind you in a parking bay so you struggled to get to the back of your car. If that's the case it's you who's the knob as you should have gone in forwards.

FeigningConcern · 05/09/2023 00:01

And just say knob if you want to say knob.

WhatapityWapiti · 05/09/2023 00:01

I thought this was going to have something to do with Star Wars…
