To think this woman is a CF? Parking.

My Oh works in a shop in town that has a shared car park with two other shops. The car park doesn't have set spaces for each shop or even set areas for each shop. It's unmarked, not even has tarmac and doesn't even have a gate, it's just a piece of shingled land. He has to get to work about 45 mins early to get a spot. Our car is a medium size one and he parks in a usual manner, not sticking out or anti socially. Just the same as everyone else. He's only been there a few months but one of the other people that works in the next door shop has complained to his boss that he's parking in her spot. She said it should be kept for her as she's been there years and it always has been hers. She wanted him to move it midshift. The boss checked with the higher ups about the car park and it turns out it belongs to the shop my oh works at and they allow the other shops to use spaces as a courtesy. The woman was told this and told that he wouldn't be moving. But now she comes into his shop and asks him to move his car regularly out of her spot. He doesn't of course, he politely refuses and tells her it's a first come first served system and he gets there first. He's getting fed up with this. He's now considering getting a neighbour to drop him off rather than put up with this. I can't drive so can't drop him. But the neighbour works longer hours and oh would have to wait around. Other parking options are very expensive, which I guess is why this woman is kicking off. I think Oh should just keep parking there but he is feeling like it's not going to stop. I think she's a CF and best thing to do is stand up to her. His boss isn't there most of the time so hasn't got involved again but I'm trying to get Oh to get them involved as he shouldn't have to put up with it. He just wants it to stop. If I could drive then dropping him off would be an option but I can't. Ainu to think this behaviour is not on and needs stopping? Sorry no diagram!

He wasn't at work today so we have no idea if she came in or not. No idea if she's been banned from the shop as well as the carpark. He's working tomorrow though.

she's obviously got used to a good gig but in fairness she must have been aware that it was on a so long as our workers don't need it agreement and once that became apparent she should now out gracefully- if it's a work perk for your oh he has every right to use it

Mummyme1987 · 06/09/2017 20:35

He thinks she was banned as another staff member came in for the stuff during the usual time. And the colleagues seemed warmer to him. Only time will tell.

Positive update OP Smile

Pigflewpast · 07/09/2017 11:23

Good news, sounds like his colleagues didn't really like her either then

Mummyme1987 · 07/09/2017 15:31

Boss spoke to him today, she's been asked "nicely" not to come into the shop or carpark!!! He's pleased with that.

Mummyme1987 · 07/09/2017 15:32

So this is the end of it all hopefully.

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/09/2017 16:58

Well that's a good result!

paq · 07/09/2017 17:33

Yay! Very happy for you.

ItsNachoCheese · 07/09/2017 17:39

Woohoo hopefully this is the end of it

Gemini69 · 08/09/2017 15:42

I am so pleased for your DH Flowers

Mummyme1987 · 08/09/2017 16:19

He called me at lunch to tell me he thinks she has retired! Or been fired! He overheard the staff member from the other shop talking to one of his colleagues. She hasn't been in since Monday. There was speculation she had retired as she is in her 60's or had the chop. He said the tone wasn't kind so I don't think she was popular with them either! He was in the alcove at the back of the store so they didn't know he could hear so he didn't let on he heard. So maybe her bosses weren't happy with her behaviour either. Hopefully he will find out from a more reliable source rather than the gossip grapevine.

But either way it's over.

Sounds like a good day for everyone all round OP... Flowers

DO3271 · 08/09/2017 16:28

Is your husbands colleagues being nice to him? May be he has done them all a favour and she was a pain in the ass.

Mummyme1987 · 08/09/2017 16:41

He said they have been fine with him. It was only when she was there that it got frosty. I so want to know what happened though! Oh doesn't care but I'm desperate to know if she has gone permanently. I feel she deserved it if she has.

OP posts:
Mummyoflittledragon · 08/09/2017 16:46

If it was only when she was there, it sounds as if she may be bullying them too.

SkyUnicorn · 08/09/2017 17:16

A great result, OP. You and your DH sound lovely! Smile

Mysa74 · 28/09/2017 13:07

Did you ever find out what happened OP?

Mummyme1987 · 09/11/2017 09:36

Yes I did. She wasn’t fired but took holiday apparently. She’s there but doesn’t come in his shop. She has met him out the back of the shop when he was dealing with a delivery and she just gives him death stares but hasn’t said anything. So it’s all good! Her car hasn’t been seen either. The rumour is she walks in. He’s getting on brilliantly with his colleagues now. So it all worked out.

That is great news, thanks for updating us all x

MinervaSaidThar · 11/11/2017 16:00

Yay! So she actually made it worse herself. She probably could have carried on parking there if she had kept her mouth shut and used the first come first served system. She got greedy, not just a space, but a favourite space.

Mysa74 · 20/11/2017 23:46

Great to hear, you must both be so relieved :-)
