I live in a cul de sac which has parking but it is permit only, this was introduced due to living right next door to a major hospital
There is 10 spaces for the 10 houses. If you have an extra car you can park up by the garages but space is tight.
We have all muddled by, sometimes moving a car for someone else to fit sort of thing.
I came home to find a car parked in the bay I usually use, not a problem maybe a visitor (we have visitor parking permits) parked behind them and unloaded the shopping, being nosy I looked at their windshield to check their permit to find they didn't have any.
My immediate reaction was to block them in, but I moved the car. As I was going to get my son from school nearly 3 hours later the car owner was getting into his car this was the conversation
Me: This is permit only you should not be parking here
Guy: No english
Me: You shouldn't be driving around in a country where you don't understand the basic signs of telling you not to park
Guy: You are racist
Me: So you understand me enough to understand what I just said
At that point the traffic warden came over and gave him a warning, I was wishing he came half an hour earlier to give him a bloody ticket.
In the whole not wanting to drip feed, I am manic at the moment but feel really pissed someone gets to park in a parking space myself and the other neighbours are paying for.
