All hail to mrsdavidcaruso, queen of the parking threads. I salute you.

YoniMatopoeia · 15/02/2014 18:54

How did I miss this before today.?

Can't wait for updates.

Mrsdavidcaruso · 15/02/2014 18:56

One car has gone OH had gone out for a takeout for us and BIL and SIL.

There was a knock on the door and BIL went out with the doodah thingy and let someone out - it was a male tenant with a black car so not bin lady.

Anyway we have having a bit of a party, fish and chips and the Voice
is the order of the night now

Can't wait for bin lady to have to come and humbly ask for her car to be freed. Hope you are ready with your best smug smile OP Wink

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 15/02/2014 19:24

Just to think all this could've been so different if the rogue parkers, once they knew they were rogue, had said they were sorry they'd been mislead etc etc

Enjoy your home party OP.

AreYouBlueOrAreYouBlind · 15/02/2014 19:26

Bet bin lady will ensure she has had a drink tonight and cannot move her car etc etc.

I've followed your thread MrsD but didn't have much to input. Hope it all gets sorted for good by tomorrow, you don't need this stress. Flowers

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 19:26

Yup, Enrique, if these people weren't rude and intrusive you wouldn't need to find a way to protect yourself from them.

Stropzilla · 15/02/2014 19:31

You and your dh are legends!

FryOneFatManic · 15/02/2014 19:38

MrsD, hope you don't get too much stress from bin lady I'm not marking my spot, oh no!

Thanks

OMG only just found this thread today!
You are my hero!

TheProsAndConsOfHitchhiking · 15/02/2014 19:40

I have abandoned my family to read both threads Grin Bin woman is not going to be happy to have to come with her tail between her legs and ask to be let out.

Debs75 · 15/02/2014 19:43

Can't believe the cheek of them to still stay parked whilst you put bollards in.
I think a couple of days away Sunday Monday is in order. Bin lady will just keep her car there as she won't need it till Monday for work when she will just come and ask for it to be let out. If she asks now she will be defeated. If you go away when she needs it she will be defeated and stranded

I'm loving that FuckYouChris is on this thread. It's like the CSI/CSI Miami crossover episode Grin

Together we stand!
We won't have stray horses in our fields, strangers' cars on our land or snotty train platform passengers sneering at us standing our ground.
However, we will show compassion to poor women trying to track down their straying DH(the bastard) This isn't any old net, this is Mumsnet.

hamptoncourt · 15/02/2014 19:51

yes, mrs david will wake up tomorrow to a horse and a load of stackable goats on her newly acquired land!!!

Please can you all stand outside and do the "smile and wave" as Bin woman angrily pulls away?

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 15/02/2014 19:51

So, there's no way that they can park outside the bollards and still block you in is there?
