I'm hotdesking not in my usual office. Its quite large here so not realistic to go around asking everyone whos that car is. No one I've asked knows who's car it is. Only way I can think is to email everyone in the organisation to reach the owner to move it. Its been parked there since 9, I couldn't use the car to go and do some shopping at lunch and pissed off about that but to stop me leaving on time on Friday would get me raging.

I sent the mail. Someone replied saying, that's my car, on the phone will move it shortly.

No appology or anything from the bitch, she will probably do it to someone else on Monday without a second thought. I can understand in the morning if your in a rush blocking someone, but at lunch there were lots of spaces so expected her to move it, she didn't.

Go down to your car and wait for her and let her know how much she's inconvenienced you.

Oh this happened hours ago, I actually stayed in the office and spyied on her while she moved it. Didn't go outside as would of probably given her a few words and sods law shed be someone I need to work with next week

You've been far too nice about it OP - I'd have firmly told her how she inconvenienced me at lunchtime and would have emailed then.

Block her in next time you see her car and see how she likes it!

I would ask for a group mail to be sent around reminding people to park courteously, we get plenty of those at work and everyone knows who the culprits are. Next time it happens, they'll be towed!

This happens regularly where I work; for some reason the culprits never seem to bat an eyelid at the inconvenience they have caused.

I would be self-flagellating on the floor in mortification. They just seem to shrug - one shoulder, not even two.

If the tables were turned, you can bet they'd be breathing fire. It does make me extremely cross. Angry

I only didnt have a go at her as its from work and might end up working with her for all I know.

I was a bit pissed off with myself, I almost apologised to her for asking her to move it. I just don't get how someone is so thoughtless and rude

You'll probably get another chance to OP, sounds like she isn't the type to give a damn and will get around to blocking you in another day.

Someone blocked us in when I went into labour. Had to get the bus to hospital in the end. Bizarre as never been blocked in before or since just the one time it really mattered!

If you HAVE to block someone in then the bare minimum you should do is leave your name and mobile number on a note in your dashboard (and make sure your phone is on!).
