NAR appreciation and crazy parking lady thread 2

670 replies

Nannyplum2015 · 19/02/2015 20:36

Just thought I'd start another thread as the other one looks like it will fill up soon! NDN has knocked again at NAR's house with no reply. I think she may be getting the message!

Can someone link the old thread as not sure how to do it.

Thanks

We live on a very narrow road, lots of cars, dropped curb all the way down, we have to park on the pavement to allow access to emergency vehicles. It's private and it also bloody steep and totally unaccessible when it's snowed.

So a couple of years ago it had snowed and DH decides to clear the road down to his parking spot so we could move the car on to the street. I hate leaving it on the back road because we may be inconveniencing someone else. So he cleared and gritted then whilst he's walking up to get his car NDN's boyfriend drives into his spot.

I was Shock and went to speak to him to be greeted with a barrage of abuse, culminating in him screaming 'why should I move it, why the fuck should I' just as dh walked up behind him. DH tapped him on the shoulder and very calmly said 'because I didn't fucking clear it for you'

I have never seen a car moved so quickly before or since Grin

Wow, either NDN was trying (badly) to save face with NAR or she really is dense!

WireCat · 20/02/2015 20:48

She is either dull or totally arrogant.

I'm sure this isn't the end of it. She will park like a cunt again, you mark my words!

Someone parked outside my garage once. So I blocked them in. Let my next door neighbour know, cos I'd also blocked her in.

When the cow wanted to move her car, I took ages to answer the door, ages to get the baby in the car seat, ages to strap him in the car and ages to move.

I also asked her who on earth she thought she was.

Her son said "see mum I said you shouldn't park there"

I've no idea why she parked there, it was off street garages & she knew it didn't belong to the person she was visiting.

KatieKaye · 20/02/2015 21:09

I don't think NDN is dense, more like she has a huge brass neck and only cares about herself.
This might have taught her a valuable lesson.
Then again...

Momagain1 · 20/02/2015 21:31

Well, every cloud has a silver lining: OP and NAR have levelled up from nodding neighbours to friendly speaking terms. Maybe even friends. Summer barbecues and all.

I hope NARswife really is NARswife, (lucky woman) not just someone NC'ing for funsies.

Alright now everyone, let's trot off to AIBU and Last 15 Minutes /Last Hour to find us something to keep us busy over the weekend!

(Should this get reported for classics too? Since the first will need the follow up?)

Ohfourfoxache · 20/02/2015 21:51

Let's hope she really does park in her own space from now on. Can't believe she's so thick that she didn't "realise" that blocking her in was intentional Hmm

BitchBags · 20/02/2015 21:52

NAR. You are a legend and I salute you!

takeitonthegin · 20/02/2015 21:53

I'm quite sad it's all over. It's been emotional Grin, thanks Nanny and everyone else for a few days entertainment.

LlamaLove · 20/02/2015 22:04

I would really love her full take on this!

I think she was trying to save face too.

Keep an eye on your space OP because I think she may have got the message not to park in NARs space but wonder if she will take a fancy to yours even more now!

SisterMoonshine · 20/02/2015 22:11

Watch this parking space then....

TheReluctantCountess · 20/02/2015 22:13

I give it three days before she is back in someone else's parking space.

iknowimcoming · 20/02/2015 22:31

NAR - we are not worthy! Good work nannyplum! Grin

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 20/02/2015 22:46

She actually said it wasn't very neighbourly?

Maybe she has short-term memory loss? Or uses a lot of skunk...

CharityD · 20/02/2015 22:47

OP, I'd park across both of your own spaces if I were you. I've a feeling this could happen again.

CrapBag · 20/02/2015 23:50

Brilliant.

Wouldn't count on her not doing it to you again though OP, she may think you are an easier target.

TheDailyWail · 20/02/2015 23:55

Good that NAR took her to task. Not the extremely happy ending that I hoped for. I do hope she behaves.

darksideofthemooncup · 21/02/2015 00:55

It is breathtaking how utterly DENSE people can be when it comes to parking. I live in a mews, a relatively recent conversion that presumably had the parking provision clearly marked on the plans ( we rent). So why does my neighbour moan about us parking in our designated space as she hates 'looking out of her kitchen window at cars'. She doesn't have a view you see. Our car blocks her view of the house opposite. I have resisted asking why the fuck she bought the house in the first place. So far...

Thumbwitch · 21/02/2015 01:09

Excellent outcome! Hope that NDN has indeed learnt her lesson but I too doubt it - maybe for a few days but then she'll chance her arm again.

Stupid woman!

var123 · 21/02/2015 07:46

Does it seem feasible that she hadn't connected being boxed in with her previous conversation about not parking in NARs space?

Roussette · 21/02/2015 07:59

var hope so! that means the thread will run and run Grin

Lweji · 21/02/2015 09:00

It is possible that she didn't connect her refusal to move and being boxed in.
As in she didn't think it was possible that people (other than her) would be anything but nice.

Morning, just thought I'd let you know that ndn ha been out and back again into her own space! NARs space was free too, so she's got the message!

Ah, but was yours, Nanny? Wink

PeaceOfWildThings · 21/02/2015 11:16

That's great! Grin

Thumbwitch · 21/02/2015 11:25

Hurrah!
