Im livid about this!

[Mammie81]

I finish work in 2 days (including today) for mat leave. We have 2 bookable parking spaces available at our office, otherwise its a train & tube ride.

I booked 2 days (today and tmw) as theres a tube strike and I have office junk to move; and then tried to book monday, but was told that only 2 days in a row were allowed. Fair enough. But I then found out that the security guy who does the booking lets a certain person park there everyday! I was angry and made a complaint. End of, you may have thought....

Until today. This certain person has squeezed into the bike space. Someone else complained as she couldnt park her bike, so this woman has blocked in me and another person! I think this is disgusting - I could need the car at any moment at this stage (and even if I wasnt pregnant, I could be anyone, perhaps an external visitor)

The security guy has let her do this! And I know from a collegue who drives often that normally he would have made her move her car outside and pay at the meter.

Im really angry and have complained again, but I think she should be made to move her car now?!

Sorry, to be clear, (Im ranty and hormonal) this person has been allowed to park illegally downstairs when others would have been made to move outside.

no, yanbu

i would keep calling whoeve you need to call until she moves it

i am guessing mr security guy didn't let her know that her space wouldn't be available?
still doesn't make it ok tho, she should find somewhere else

Yanbu.

is it management?

yes, she should move. Who are you complaining to? HR?

Is security guy shagging her then?

They're probably shagging each other.

Just let it go, you've only got 2 days left and there isn't much you can do, short of ramming her car with yours. But don't do that, no matter how ranty and hormonal you feel .

well the procedure is that you dont turn up and expect a space - and if you do, then he makes you go outside unless one is free!

Ive complained to my manager, his manager and (shamefully ) I went to this person and asked her if she thought it was ok to block in people without a care in the world.

She says its ok, because shes leaving at 4pm today. BITCH!!!

Not worth getting angry about. If you need the car then security are responsible for getting it out. If it is such a rush that you can't wait then you will probably need an ambulance anyway.

Just let it go and chill. In the big scale of things it is nothing.

i would ring her again and tell her you have gone into labour and she needs to move her car NOW!!!!

then just sit and have a cuppa

I think they are shagging.

Part of me is still tempted to duff her car up.

2 words

CAR,,,,,,,KEY

I think the lady with the bike already did some duffing when she couldnt park her bike!

I would be annoyed, but if she is easily contactable & could move the car quickly then I don´t think it´s worth being livid about tbh.

please tell her that you are in labour

Go down and have another word with her then suddenly clutch your bump and start puffing. Tell her since she is blocking you in, and you don't think you can drive anyway, would she mind driving you to the hospital.

Mutter something about hoping your waters don't break on the way...

Well because she didnt book theres no record of who she is. So we wouldnt even know who to ask to move the car. There are over 160 people in this building.

I only know it was her because someone else told me. And she might not be easily contactable - often people have meetings at one of our other sites and park here because we are outside of congestion zone by 100 metres.

time for some chapstick art on her windscreen then

YABU to be livid. It is annoying and unfair but it isn't impacting on your life really.

Id be livid too. Shes just flouting the rules and doesnt sound apologetic either! If the rule is that you book in advance, how come she didnt do that, and then still gets a space when there isnt one?

Id complain to her manager too!

This person doesnt have to follow the rules. Shes allowed to park there everyday when everyone else only gets 2 days in a row! GRR!

cornsilk... explain - what do you mean by this? i like the sounds it. could be a good tip for another thread where poster is complaining about people parking accross her driveway!

oh pleease do the chapstick. please!!

YABU. Does it really matter? it's an irritation at worst. She's probably got nicer tits than the rest of you... But, if you are heavily pregnant you can be OTT with people about stuff. I am 40+1 and just wombled downstairs to snipe at DP as he is cleaning the oven a different way to how I would do it. I have been upstairs as he got up to take my DS to school this morning so I could rest. What an arse hole he is, woe is me!

I think if the CEO had visited and found that this woman had parked across him (and that security hadnt told her to move), it would be a different story!

was on another thread - someone wrote selfish wanker (I think) on someone's windscreen in chapstick. You could write 'selfish security guard shagger' for example

And because the Chapstick is oil based, even when they clean their windscreen, it'll still be there ....
