to post this note on an actor's car?

[ellabelle]

Background: I live down a narrow road, only 11 terraced house, on-road parking, very close to the train station. It's hard getting a space at best of times as a resident, let alone when people park down it to avoid paying station car park. I have seen this actor park his big black jeep down the road several times. And, well, this time as his trotted off looking all pleased with himself I posted this note on his car. He has starred in a major TV show and adverts am sure he can afford £4.70.

Mrs. It's a troll.

Not a troll. There's been a mention of Mumsnet in a few other places today.

Anyway, troll hunting is 'not the done thing' here.

OP: I get annoyed when any car parks to one side of my drive. I know that it is irrational, but I do feel your pain.

Evening all. Just for your info., the OP is - to the best of our knowledge - not a bridgedweller, so a couple of the troll-shout-outs will be zapped shortly.

Seriously?

The OP, the attitude? The goading? Not a troll?

YABU. Nobody owns the road in front of their house.

Erm , you have just identified your house out of the 11 to anyone finding said note on car or just walking past it

MrsBigginsPieShop Peter Andre lives near East Grinstead, I live nowhere near East Grinstead.

If you wanted to be welcomed on to MN with open arms OP, it was probably not a good idea to make your first post such a horribly judgmental one.

HTH

This road is a dead-end side road, it is tiny and there is no way you would not realise that by parking down here as a non-resident would not cause a problem to residents (if that's not too many double negatives).

Unless you own the road you have no right to dictate who parks there.

This is the first time I have ever been called a troll. Can we move on to Godwin's Law now?

Personally I am glad that mumsnet take a dim view of troll hunting.
Else all posts and threads could be troll hunted.

Why? Was it Hitler?

Never mind Godwin's Law, how about the Highway Code instead?

Brilliant

Goad, goad, goad your boat gently down the stream...

Whyyyy isn't there a musical note emoticon on Mumsnet?

Has it been revealed who the actor is yet?

I'm hoping it's the bloke who plays Phil Mitchell on EE.

I live down a dead-end side road near a school. It is indeed a pain when other people park there, you have to do a difficult turn at the end and go and find a place to park in one of the parallel roads if it's totally parked up. On the other hand, we have the advantage of no-one using our road as a rat-run. Basically, we all just live with it and none of us leave arsey notes. Not even that time a well-known sporting personality left his car there.

You keep saying you are new opportunities. No you are not. I know who you are on here.

Sorry, New op

What's wrong with being a cheapskate?

Ah, so not a new troll, just a stirrer.

The OP isn't a troll but probably should have picked somewhere other than aibu

We can see you over there in the pink place yanno elle.

I've read all 7 pages and you haven't told us who the actor is yet. YABU not to tell us!

I am very curious as to who the actor is. X
