Well done op!!!

Love your BIL

Clutterbugsmum · 17/02/2014 08:45

Hopefully she learnt if you treat people like shit, then oneday someone will do it to you.

I don't feel sorry for her she had loads of notice not to do what she did and ingnored all of it. She assumed that she could do what she liked and I'm taking a wild guess here that the OP are not the only one Bin Lady treats like this.

Lets face shes made herself look like an idiot and everytime she explains what happened and why she late for work normal people will either just think what an idiot or tell her.

OP I hoped you have E mailed the LA to explain what has happened over the weekend with both BIn Lady and SHouty Man.

I'm so invested in this thread [saddo smiley]

Talk about you reap what you sew.

lljkk · 17/02/2014 08:51

Squee, we need update.

polarpercy · 17/02/2014 08:54

No sympathy here either! She didn't want to trouble herself at the weekend and find new parking, she was happy to cause a massive hassle for Mrsdc. And, now she's decided she wants her car she expects everyone to jump. Might teach her a lesson, ie. that the world doesn't revolve around her!

GemmaTeller · 17/02/2014 08:56

omg, my first thought this morning was 'check the bollard thread' Grin

JustforMe · 17/02/2014 08:57

Waiting for this morning has been the highlight of my weekend lol.

Ha bin lady has gotten what she deserves that'll teach you cant park wherever you like.

Groovee · 17/02/2014 08:59

Knew bin lady would wait until 7.30am on Monday morning...

Korora · 17/02/2014 09:02

Please, please, please OP. When she finally moves her car, can you chase her and shout....

"Gerr orf my land!'

at the top of your voice. Preferably shaking a stick and wearing tweed while you do it.

Grin I know it's note possible but never have I wanted photos/video clips more!!

And IOW just came up on the news, I actually (momentarily) looked for penguins

MidniteScribbler · 17/02/2014 09:05

What's happening, what's happening, what's happening????

::bounces slightly::

JustforMe · 17/02/2014 09:06

Oh yes Korora that would be hilarious.

Yes Groovee I knew that she would too thinking she would irate OP and has ended up screwing herself.

Tailtwister · 17/02/2014 09:06

What an idiot waiting until Monday morning! Is she still there? Has the van moved yet?

PoorOldCat · 17/02/2014 09:07

I know, I know. I just think one shouldn't try and do payback deliberately iyswim? If it happens by mistake then fair dos but I don't think it's right to start playing games in return.

If that makes any sense.

Pipbin · 17/02/2014 09:07

The arrogance of her is shocking. She knew that she was going to need to move her car on Saturday. She has had plenty of notice to find somewhere else to park.
It could be said that BIL blocking her in and then going missing is rather akin to bear baiting but it does serve her right. I wonder what excuse she will give to work for being late?

Delurking to cheer on the OP and be grateful I have a day off today so I can watch

ThedementedPenguin · 17/02/2014 09:15

This has been fantastic. Your Dh and BIL are geniuses.

Has she left yet or still pacing?

JustforMe · 17/02/2014 09:16

Yes update needed im twitching in my seat.

lollilou · 17/02/2014 09:16

As a fellow Isle of Wighter (albeit right across the other side from you op) I've been following this thread with interest.
Sounds like you're nearly there op, good luck with bin lady!

SerotoninCanEatTomorrow · 17/02/2014 09:17

Am so pleased BinLady has had her comeuppance :) this has made my morning Grin

Lj8893 · 17/02/2014 09:19

What a fool bin lady is!!

If someone had knocked my door at 7.30am, thru wouldn't have got an answer, we were all fast asleep!

Picturesinthefirelight · 17/02/2014 09:22

First thing I did when I got to work this morning was check whether Bin Lady had been round

Ha to her!
