NAR appreciation and crazy parking lady thread 2

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

Well done! Excellent assertiveness. She's learning :)

var123 · 21/02/2015 17:53

Well done! Its a bit like having a teenager who is continually trying to find the boundaries and then push them!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 21/02/2015 17:54

My goodness, she is rude!

KatieKaye · 21/02/2015 17:55

Well done Nanny!
Nicely assertive despite her rudeness. "Are you German?" Bloody cheek.
She's shown that rudeness knows no boundaries.
I hope she has learnt that you are not a pushover either.

McKayz · 21/02/2015 17:55

That is brilliant! Well done Nanny.

mineofuselessinformation · 21/02/2015 17:56

I knew it!
Don't be surprised if she challenges you if no-one parks in the space....

MaraThonbar · 21/02/2015 17:56

Are you German?

Wow. She is a piece of work BUT she moved. Well done OP.

HoldingtheFortress · 21/02/2015 17:57

Well done OP!

I really don't think she understood that the spaces belong to the houses. Hopefully you've rectified that now.

Paint your house number in your space!!!

ColdJerseySpud · 21/02/2015 17:57

Good for you OP!!

EnlightenedOwl · 21/02/2015 17:58

Well she really has shown her true colours hasn't she? Turned her behaviour back on you. Well done for shifting her. Might have to repeat, repeat, repeat but hopefully message will sink in at some point.

littleleftie · 21/02/2015 18:00

Excellent.

"Are you German?" - what a nerve.

Reminds me of an old neighbour who had a run in with some very noisy yoofs revving up motorbikes etc outside his house. They took the piss out of his Belfast accent and he just leaned in to one of them and said "Yeah, where I come from we have ways of dealing with people like you." and sauntered off.

WhodidyousayIshouldbe · 21/02/2015 18:02

Maybe she doesn't realise that allocated to me means owned by me; as in, you are trespassing on my property? Unbelievable.

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 21/02/2015 18:02

The thread that keeps on giving Grin

PedantMarina · 21/02/2015 18:05

Well done for confronting! And don't you feel better fir having done so now? Of course you do...

But, OMFGs, she still Just Doesn't Geddit. (Or she's pretending she hasn't because she's now in her Trench War of Attrition and thinks you'll cave first. Prove her wrong!)

Have a natter with NAR and MrsNAR and compare notes.

And, errm, hasn't she got the management company's letter yet?!?

oneowlgirl · 21/02/2015 18:06

Well done Op.

Jacana · 21/02/2015 18:11

are you German?. are you German?

Grin ...this tale just gets better and better!
Couldn't make it up!!!

Well done nanny

Now, do you reckon that's the end of that or shall I phone out for some chips?

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 21/02/2015 18:12

Oh well done, Nanny!

It takes a lot of nerve to confront anyone, let alone someone you know is going to be stroppy, & not to back down when they try to put you in the wrong

PenguinTuxedo · 21/02/2015 18:12

First come first served? It's YOUR space - how has she not got this yet?!?!?!

Although frustrating that you've had to go round there and be confrontational with her, it sounds like it was more positive than your previous encounters with her! At least she didn't slam the door in your face, and has actually moved the car. Well done you though for standing your ground, and not letting her wait until tomorrow!!

youarekiddingme · 21/02/2015 18:13

Congratulations littleCaf Grin

At least NDN finally seems to be getting the message. Although if she really did insist on first come first serve I'd get everyone I know to come round when she's out and park in yours, NARs and her space and any convenient road space. I'm sure she wouldn't mind do as you were all there first Wink

PedantMarina · 21/02/2015 18:16

PS: "are you German?" would have been a perfect feed for a classic MN reply "are you on glue, bitch?" Grin

Haggisfish · 21/02/2015 18:16

Well done nanny-unbloodybelievable!!!

CSIJanner · 21/02/2015 18:20

Actually, I'd take youarekiddingme's idea and keep it in mind for next weekend, should NDN start being arsey about parking spaces that don't belong to her. And if you do as a neighbourhood, have to enact first come first served as a method of teaching a lesson, don't forget (after checking local parking regs) park in front of/on her drive.

DidoTheDodo · 21/02/2015 18:21

Ooooh just when I thought it was all over. It is now.
Well done on telling her what's what NP. Great bit of assertiveness. She really has got more neck than your average giraffe.

Lweji · 21/02/2015 18:25

Here's to you, Nanny

Well done for making her move.
