Blocking neighbour's car with bins

I know I'm being petty and passive aggressive but am I being that U?
I live in a row of 6 flats and we have a small car park in front of homes just for us as all spaces are numbered. The neighbour who lives in the house opposite has her own drive yet she still takes it upon herself to park in our car park, and not even in an actual space, just a very awkward position so she is next to her drive but not on it. Over the two years we have all been here (new build so all moved in similar times) myself and at least 2 other neighbours have asked her nicely if she cannot park there as it's awkward for many of us getting in and out. She stopped for quite a few months, but last night my mum popped round to drop some bits off and couldn't stay as she said she can't park without hitting neighbours car, I've not had chance to see neighbour today but tonight when I was putting bins out for our 6 flats, she was parked there again. By now I was feeling rather angry, and quite petty so I barricaded her car in with all the bins and recycle boxes; was that really pathetic of me because now I've thought about it I'm feeling it was perhaps too far, but I can't be arsed going back out to move them so I guess I'd like someone to tell me I should leave them where they are to make me feel better GrinConfused

Ooh a parking thread and Bins. You are spoiling us OP.

I hope the cheeky mare gets the message. Unfortunately some people are especially stupid.

SquarePeg why thank you, I always thought drawing was my hidden talent, just a shame my art teacher didn't agree Grin

In face tell us where you live and we'll ALL come and block the whole main road Grin
We'll be like Hells Angels but with slightly more sensible vehicles and less chin hair.
Not me, I'm stroking my lady beard.

Read the op only and came to say bravo! Grin I know I am being mean but I have been blocked out of my own driveway so many times that I have lost all sympathy for such piss takers.

PerpendicularVincent · 05/01/2017 21:51

I fucking love parking threads. With the added bonus of bins and a diagram, it feels like Christmas again.

You need to film her reaction and post it on here.

MycatsaPirate · 05/01/2017 21:52

I do love a parking thread!

I'd personally start parking on her bloody drive and block her husband in.

JigglyTuff · 05/01/2017 21:52

I knew it! Yuck - I will send you more bins to add to your bin wall.

Summerisdone · 05/01/2017 21:52

I will be up the window first thing (with phone at the ready) just waiting for her to leave in the morning Grin

Holy crap SortAll - what sort of mood swing drove you to that???!!!!????

watchingthedetectives · 05/01/2017 21:54

Take a photo in the daylight and post on parkedlikeacunt.com along with all the others .......

MadMags · 05/01/2017 21:54

This is brilliant! Well done, OP!

Summerisdone · 05/01/2017 21:54

SortAll I love the last one, but may not be able to openly take credit if I did that, you know, for legal reasons Grin

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 05/01/2017 21:54

BEst diagram ever Grin

So does this mean she isn't blocking whoever number 1's space is?? And why to number 6 have 2 spaces

OP it's also something I'd love to do but never have the guts, so good for you!

SortAllTheThings · 05/01/2017 21:55

GrinGrinGrin

They were in my space is all.

🔪

Summerisdone · 05/01/2017 21:56

CherryChasing number 1 (mine) is completely blocked as there isn't enough room to manoeuvre around HER car without hitting it or the bin shed.
5&6 have two spots each because they're bought and not HA

Thank you op for that fantastic diagram, it's really cheered me up

Yadnbu, there's no justification for blocking you in.

Looking forward to tomorrow's update. Video please!

Benedikte2 · 05/01/2017 21:58

OP persuade your mum that if she can't get into your parking space she is ok to park blocking their driveway. If they say anything you just tell them, well you've stopped us using our own parking space

IwillrunIwillfly · 05/01/2017 21:58

Blatently placemarking for the morning update! Grin

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 05/01/2017 21:58

Ah I didn't realise your space was number 1, she may as well bloody park right in it Shock

Do you have a dog? Could you train it tonight to do a series of poos in front of the wheelie bins Grin

SortAllTheThings · 05/01/2017 21:59

Summer I am available for hire

👊

PossumInAPearTree · 05/01/2017 22:03

Get the kids in the street to start playing football outside a lot. In the area in front of the parking spaces!

TitaniasCloset · 05/01/2017 22:05

Well trained spiders??? Dear God above what next? Shock
