On our street is a bay were 10 cars fit like this
//////////
My neighbour and their parents park like this
l
Which means it goes
///l///l//
Making it freaking annoying as hell to get out. Especially as behind those bays are cars parked normally along the road.
Aibu to get a small amount of rage when they park and make it difficult for everyone else?

Tuck a copy of your excellent diagram under their wipers and see how long it takes for the penny to drop.

YABNU btw.

A small job for the local PCSOs maybe?

Either they havent seen the markings in the parking bay and need to be made aware or they have seen them and chose to ignore which makes them anti social and in need of a reminder of their responsibilities to others.

Of course that might not work at all but its worth a shot and is probably the safest option.

yetanotherworry · 02/11/2013 12:26

They probably think that the rest of you park badly by parking at an angle.

lymiemum · 02/11/2013 12:34

Unfortunately the bays aren't marked, but at both ends where the bays end it's angled. Even if they park on the end where the curb/ pavement bit is, where it is clearly angled they still park straight..if everyone is angled reversing out is piss easy, and you have plenty of space not to hit the roadside parkers behind.

YANBU. Make a leaflet that shows how to park and put it through everyone's door? The other neighbours will laugh and know who it's to and maybe they'll get a clue?

So tempted.
Even when they have to spend 5 mins trying to get out once everyone else has parked normally they don't seem to get it.

Who owns the parking? Get them to paint the lines in.

lymiemum · 02/11/2013 13:08

Council maintains road.

Email your local councillor and ask them to fix it.

Have you got any chalk? Like big chunky kids chalk?

If so chalk the lines on and write twat 1 and twat 2 in theirs

Even if it washes off in a few days they'll have gotten the message hopefully

mumofweeboys · 02/11/2013 21:04

Put note under wiper with diagram, telling them how bloody awkward it is to get out.

Belugagrad · 02/11/2013 21:06

Best diagram ever

PorkPieandPickle · 02/11/2013 21:56

I love your diagram too :D and second printing it and putting it on their windscreen.
(They must be a bit stupid not to realise though, surely?!)

CookieLady · 02/11/2013 21:56

YesterdayI · 02/11/2013 21:59
