So this is what happened on my road earlier. Turned out that the skip company had dropped it in the wrong place and did (eventually) come back to move it.

My big car couldnt fit past and an emergency vehicle wouldnt stand a chance, but a mini or other small car could just about manage.

Would anyone like to guess what happened shortly after the skip was dropped in this position?

Michael Caine came along with a cavalcade of minis and manoevered around the skip. All the larger cars chasing them were stuck behind it. There was probably a milk van involved somewhere.

Several rugby teams moved it?

Yep, some fucking cockwomble parked in it.

I mean WHY?! It must have been a hell of a struggle and it would be painfully obvious that it would be blocking the whole street off completely.

I know that the skip company were in the wrong initially, but what the fuck goes through someones head to park there?!

I should mention for the sake of completeness that the arse that did the parking is one of those people who thinks that he owns the bit of road outside his house and woe betide anyone who looks like they might be thinking about parking there.

The council and then the police were called by me a concerned neighbour who came and got all three cars moved until the skip company came back.

Ophio I dont know! It must have been down to millimetres either side.

Someone's bbq set their decking on fire and the fire engine couldn't get past to extinguish it, resulting in half the neighbourhood being turned into a raging inferno?

Tiddles got stuck up a tree and died of starvation while the fire engine was stuck behind a skip?

Tiddles elderly owner died of a broken heart and now there is a fire engine, an ambulance and a claims R us rep are in a queue behind the skip?

A Martian came down, landed in skip, thought it would make a lovely new home and is now the envy of his Martian mates?

Any chance that the skip company moved the skip to the other side of the road on top of the twattish parked car?

Ooh that would be good if skip is now in tit's space!

Sadly not Breakfast but it looks to me like it might be on part of the road that Twat considers to be his and he will not like that at all :o

I skim read your op and took in mini as minibus as thought what insanely large sized car does the OP drive. Then I reread!!

Anyway I honestly don't get dickhead parking. There's a really tight corner to come off my road and far to often some div parks on the road you need to park on right up near the corner.

Since no one else has bothered can I just complement OP on the beautifulness of her/his diagram? Far too many parking threads lack this basic common decency! Nice one @PyongyangKipperbang Grin

It wouldnt be quite so bad for parking up our road if the people in the new builds over the road actually used their allocated parking at the back of the development instead of parking on the road nearer to their front doors. We are not allowed to use their parking so there are 20 parking spaces with 2 cars in them usually, and absolutely no street parking. Its getting very silly.
