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

Agree with those who are saying that NDN probably doesn't get it that you own the space. Why should she? She knows she has exclusive use of her space but that's because it would otherwise block access to her garage.

Just tell her next time that its you own it / it is your property, rather than use "allocated". I guess she's thinking you have all just nabbed your favourite spaces because you lived there first. the mgmt company letter should have explained it but it may not have arrived or she might not have bothered to read it - she's certainly arrogant enough to not do what she doesn't want. (i.e. parking over two spaces to save having to step on the grass).

4yoniD · 22/02/2015 18:20

var123 I'm sure that NDN had been told by op (very early in 1st thread) AND received a letter from the estate management people....
So no excuse.

EnlightenedOwl · 22/02/2015 18:23

If she'd chosen to listen and not be so rude she'd have known what the position is and I'd lay odds she did, she was trying it on. Anyway, allocated/owned - still not hers to use never mind hogging by parking straddling the middle!

Earlybird · 22/02/2015 18:27

Nanny - I think you and NAR and FONAR have handled this situation brilliantly.

What is amazing is that NDN has clearly ignored all civil conversation on the subject and has, it would seem, also ignored the parking instruction letter from the estate manager which surely has arrived by now.

SauvignonBlanche · 22/02/2015 18:40

OMG, have loved getting up to date after being away for the weekend.

CrazyRainbowLady · 22/02/2015 19:12

I am german and chuckling at that. She wouldn't stand a chance in a parking dispute against my DF

Clutterbugsmum · 22/02/2015 21:25

Rubbish she know exactly which places are her, she knew before she bought the house. It's on her deeds, she had copies from the management company as to which are hers.

She is just a bully.

CharityD · 22/02/2015 21:36

I was thinking the same. Surely that was clear from the house purchase, what parking space belonged to it.

Lweji · 22/02/2015 21:40

She is probably used to people like the OP who, let's be honest, would probably just put up with it if NAR hadn't taken NDN on.

PeaceOfWildThings · 22/02/2015 21:41

Yes, I think it is time to talk to the management company again about this and tell them that she has completely didisregarded the letter sent to her.

Towels reserving the best parking spaces?

Momagain1 · 22/02/2015 22:49

The seller surely would have pointed out the very value adding feature of the two spaces she owns, and it surely would in her deed, and she has had the letter from the management company, she bloody well knows.

Thumbwitch · 23/02/2015 02:49

I agree, I think she's just used to her bullying tactics getting her her own way, and has never had anyone stand up to her with the brilliant tenacity of the NAR before! Now she's confused, because her view of Correct World Order (where she gets to do what she likes and everyone else has to suck it up) has been overturned!

I really hope she's no one's MIL, if she carries on like that in every area of her life...

SoupDragon · 23/02/2015 07:06

and she has had the letter from the management company

To be fair, all we know is that they said they would send one. They may not have given it priority and it's not been sent yet.

It doesn't excuse her rudeness though.

Penygirl · 23/02/2015 07:20

Thumbwitch I love your mother in law comment - just imagine it!

Momzilla82 · 23/02/2015 07:23

I've been wondering if there's a chance she rents and hence has never seen deeds etc? Because she doesn't own a space herself maybe that's where she doesn't get it?

WhatchaMaCalllit · 23/02/2015 08:51

I've just caught up with the end of the first thread and all of this one.

Thank you.

Thank you Nanny for such an entertaining read first thing on a Monday morning.

Gobsmacked that she came out with "Are you German?" - though with a brass neck like hers it may be affecting her hearing and she may have difficulty hearing that the spaces are yours, you own them, they are not hers.

I wonder whether she has 100% understood the message. I guess only time will tell but do come back and keep us posted if she tries anything like this on again!

PedantMarina · 23/02/2015 09:17

Momzilla, OP said, back in OP of the first fred, that they both own, no renting.

And on recent updates, she's said "I oeen ... title deeds ... how would you like if i sit in your garden? ..." and NDN still (allegedly) doesn't geddit.

var123 · 23/02/2015 11:03

It seems to me that NDN has not been listening. Probably too busy forming swear words in her head. So, she actually didn't know that the spaces belong to other people, she just got a vague impression that they wanted them.

I bet the first time she actually took any info in was when NAR told her that he'd deliberately blocked her in.

Hoppinggreen · 23/02/2015 11:21

Our German Great Aunt is about 4 feet tall, 85 years old and TERRIFYING.
I could send her round - that will learn her!!!
On the subject of minicaff , does anyone else think that NAR/FONAR is a lovely name for a baby??

Momagain1 · 23/02/2015 11:36

Even if she were renting, private parking spaces are a feature that is mentioned very clearly in real estate listings, and by the overdressed youngsters usually dealing with showing rental property.

I agree, the letter might not have been sent promptly, have you ever called to check, and report the on-going situation, Nanny?

NDN knows, she just doesn't like her parking locations and -hoped- assumed the relative abundance of parking in the neighbourhood meant she could choose another at will. It may have, had she asked. And parked in one damned space. I bet if she had come to Nanny or even NAR with a sad request, given her health you know, either might have gone along in some fashion (and regretted it later). But her method is 'do what I want and expect others to deal' which works surprisingly often so has served her well thus far in life.

This time, it has awakened NAR's fury, and we and NAR have helped Nanny speak up. Not gonna work.

Thanks for your support. No I haven't reported the ongoing issues to the management company as it wasn't really me who had the problem. NAR sorted his out quite effectively! I've been in and out today and she's not parked in my spaces. Lesson learned I think!
