A school run thread: WIBU to post this note through school neighbour's door?

[SophiesMummySaid]

'Offender' lives 4 doors away from school, tiny terraced road which is obv very busy at school run times.

"To the person who came out of this house at 8.50 last Thursday and drive away in a silver Polo.

You had parked blocking the pavement so that people with pushchairs/wheelchairs were forced to walk in the road around your car.

When you came out and drove away, without looking, my family were in the road, walking around your car.

You almost hit them: and adult, a 5 year old and a baby in a pushchair.

Please be more considerate."

DH thinks I should just leave it, even though it was him she nearly hit.

That what he says DeSelby. We're like that. I get all righteous and want to take action, he's just out for a quiet life. Hence the AIBU.

Sorry, in that case YABU

Now I just want to find out about the hit man!

We get this on our estate too. Selfish cunts.

If I were you I wouldn't bother with the note but I'd give a call to your parking enforcement officer and advise them how lucrative a little trip to your school would be.

Although YANBU to leave the note they will take much more notice of a £60 fine :o

I had this kind of situation the other day. A car was parked on the curb, driver jumps in and then reverses backwards on the pavement nearly taking out Friends child and pushchair. stupid twat!

YANBU.

It's my pet hate. Drivers who park a little on the pavement I can live with. Drivers who use the entire pavement as their own private parking space make me see red. I mean who do they think they are? Do they think "well there's no-one on the pavement at the moment, so I will leave my car here all day"?

Drivers who think double yellow lines mean "please use the pavement instead for as long as you like" also make me see red.

I always speak up and say something if I see a driver returning to their car usually along the lines of "Me and the kids had to walk in the road because you parked there!"

And it's always on the school route during school run hour.

I think if enough people pick drivers up on it then they may eventually stop for fear of MumHassle.

I'd speak to the school first before posting a note, our school have some involvement from local PCSO's who generally see both sides I the argument. Some parents block driveways of residents, some residents block the path for parents.
I don't think your BU but I wouldn't do it

you should get a pushchair with big sharp bits sticking out of it and push it past the cars scratching the paintwork as you walk past. They will probably be more carefull about where they park in the future.

I think the hitman is an excellent idea.

I liked the hitman idea best.

I liked the hitman idea best.

We have police patrolling round our school as the parking is terrible, drives blocked, people all the way over on a narrow pavement and parking on the yellow zig zags.

Personally I do put two wheels on the pavement but I leave enough room that every day a woman with a triple buggy walks past my car with ease. It is a massively wide pavement and I park quite a distance from the school because I have legs that work and I, and the children, can walk for a few minutes.

Legally in London it is you must not park on the pavement everywhere else it is should not which then comes down to obstruction of the pavement.

I would put a note through the door but I would also inform the school, we had a similar incident to yours put in the newsletter and they named the make and model of the car so everyone knew who it was as people tend to park in roughly the same place.
