To be utterly seething and have told this white lie

[lastqueenofscotland]

I live very near 3 large secondary schools and suck up some of the annoying driving that comes with the drop off time.

Today however I was leaving my house (10 mins late which I know is my problem) to go to work to see a woman parked OVER MY DRIVE getting her son out of the car, I tell her I need to go to work.
She says she always does it and there is never a car there, I point out that there is and I need to go to work, she turns round and says she just needs to help little jimmy carry his cello and PE kit to the school.
I’m fuming by this point so turn round and tell her I work for the council (true) and ill just issue her a massive fine as soon as I get into the office (this is bullshit and I have no power to do this at all).

She properly got the hump but did drive off.
WIBU feel a bit embarrassed now

Ooooh! Thats a great line! Id defo say something similar if i had this issue.

What a CF

I think but am not certain that it is illegal to park next to a dropped kerb if there is a car in the drive. Obviously you didn't have time but you can report them to the council and if the car is still there when the wardern arrives they will be ticketed. However if there is no car in the drive drivers can park there and it is just courtesy that most people don't...you do not own the road outside your house.
