To think there should be a law stopping cars from parking on public streets

Went on a long journey with DP today through quite a few villages with small winding roads the roads are supposed to be split into 2 one sides obviously but most of thses roads could only have 1 side of the road used because inconsiderate people in the houses had parked their cars in the road blocking the entire left side so cars had to take turns crossing around them on the right side i think you should only own a car if you have somewhere to park it off road like a driveway or garage its a health and safety risk with cars trying not to smash into each other winding around these parked cars and people trying to cross safely its like buying a horse and not having a stable to keep it in imo there should be some sort of law as well as yellow lines to stop this happening

YANBU

How dare the villagers park outside their houses in their village causing inconvenience to you. Cheeky entitled fuckers.

YABU.

Good idea kungfu. We could perhaps quiz people on what their dc like to eat? Any answer that isn't 'steamed organic rice cake served with kale and asparagus purée' could be automatic eviction.

Like big brother. 'Residents, this is big mother. You have been evicted. You must leave the family home'

kungfupannda · 13/10/2015 18:43

Bollocks. I'm guessing 'fishfingers and smarties' will have me straight on the boat to Antarctica, or wherever we decide to send the unworthies.

SilverOldie2 · 13/10/2015 18:50

And, all you deeply inferior non drive/garage owners, STAY OFF MY LAWN

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 13/10/2015 18:54

I know, lets bulldoze all the houses that don't have driveways and build lovely new houses with driveways. Can't see any problem there.

dodobookends · 13/10/2015 18:55

WIBU to suggest that inconsiderate drivers on long journeys should avoid narrow lanes through little villages if they are annoyed that they can't manage to squeeze through quickly enough, and get back on the nice wide main roads?

Please help yourself op

OK OP.

Have a Biscuit

Do you want me to be housebound? I would be without access to a car!

SpanglesGalloway · 13/10/2015 19:01

Hmm yes because when britian was booming in the industrial revolution our millions of houses facilitated off road parking for our range rovers...Biscuit

Fishboneschokus · 13/10/2015 19:04

Building a garage under the houses seems to be a sensible option.

Not sure of cost.

ilovesooty · 13/10/2015 19:08

I live in a back to back. I have a car. I need it for work - essential car user. I shall ask my company to move me into a house with a driveway and garage immediately.

What a load of twatty bollocking toss.

arethereanyleftatall · 13/10/2015 19:10

Someone should invent a flying carpark which could hover above the millions and millions of homes which don't have driveways.

Lurkedforever1 · 13/10/2015 19:10

bubbles don't be so selfish, what's you being unable to leave home compared to the extra 3 seconds to negotiate your car for op. So inconsiderate of you Grin

Can't be building basement garages, all that work might slow my 80mph drive through villages. Or get cement dust on my car wheels.

RaspberryOverload · 13/10/2015 19:14

Anyone unable to negotiate the situation as in the OP needs their car taken off them.

I live in an area with a lot of onstreet parking, and I don't have this problem. No-one's smashed into me yet; in fact most drivers are exessively courteous.

BoreOfWhabylon · 13/10/2015 19:26

Trollhunting is against the rules.

Pointing out a goadyfucker when you see one isn't though.

You, OP, are a Goadyfucker.

PegsPigs · 13/10/2015 19:28

I live in a village and park like this to slow passing through traffic so they actually do a rough approximation of the speed limit. YABU.

Andrewofgg · 13/10/2015 19:31

Is OP a Goadyfucker or a Pisstaker - have we all risen to the bait?

Confused
BoreOfWhabylon · 13/10/2015 19:34

Looks like it Andrew

insancerre · 13/10/2015 19:38

I too live in a cul due sac
Am I allowed a car?
You don't have to drive through my street and I have a drive
So I guess that qualifies me to have a car then
Too bad I can't drive

fulldutypaid · 13/10/2015 19:40

I live in London OP and a lot of roads that have parking bays or residents pay for a permit can only fit one car driving down it at one time Grin

PowderMum · 13/10/2015 19:44

WTF

PunkrockerGirl · 13/10/2015 19:45

Grin at twatty bollocking toss!
