To ask for a way to irritate woman parking in my spot?

Solasshole · 21/12/2019 18:18

Background, I live in a flat above a shop. My flat has it's own parking spot that I pay for. Despite this a entitled prick of a woman lady keeps parking in my spot. She has been told many times not to, but continues to do so. She understands it is private parking but doesn't care and says "I'm just leaving" or "I wont be long"

So, help me think if a suitably irritating thing I can do to her next time it happens? Nothing illegal obviously. Perhaps upending a nearby recycling bin all over her car

What can I do to teach her a lesson seeing as she clearly gives no fucks about what shes doing Wink

(Cant be bothered with putting up a penguin bollard, also cant block her in as it would mean I would be blocking a road to do so. Just something that would annoy her...)

Sticky notes ( post-its) 100s of them
Google it, some people are quite creative with it

I’d keep dropping milkshake and thumb tacks

Cover her car in post its
Then bog roll the next time

BlackeyedSusan · 21/12/2019 18:59

use your recyling to leave a large note on the back window with a message about her.

eg too lazy to walk
too selfish to not park in someone else's spot.

take photos.

perhaps you can put them in the small adds of the shop she is going into.

get a deck chair and sit behind her car when she wants to come out. tell her you won't be long.

park behind her in the car and make her wait to come out.

Get a camping chair and bring ur newspaper. Sit just in front of her car at an angle so you block her in.
When she asks you to move say "won't be long, just got another page" .

My mil wrote notes on A4 and stuck it to the windscreen with butter. She’s a vicious woman!

Waveysnail · 21/12/2019 19:00

You cant be that irritated if you cant be arsed putting up a bollard

cabbageking · 21/12/2019 19:02

Is she actually a problem or an irritant?

She can only park there if you are not using the space.
Is she stopping you park here?

Ohyesiam · 21/12/2019 19:04

Doesn’t putting something in the exhaust mean the car fills up with lethal fumes?

managedmis · 21/12/2019 19:04

Tin of golden syrup and a packet of porridge oats. Syrup first, trickled all over, then decorate with the oats. You could add a couple of tubes of glitter too.

Wasn't me......

Greyponcho · 21/12/2019 19:05

Write your message on her windscreen.
In vaseline.
Add glitter or hundreds and thousands for bonus style points if you like Grin

managedmis · 21/12/2019 19:06

By the time she returns it will either look like a shepherd’s pie or a bukkake scene depending on the rainfall.

@Greyponcho for the win!!

YahooGmail · 21/12/2019 19:09

Lots of very creative ideas here, but just get a penguin board

CorBlimeyGovenor · 21/12/2019 19:09

Yogurt flicked out of your window to look like a prolific seagull!

FruityWidow · 21/12/2019 19:10

I stand cement sand on the roof, just before it rains.

Somanysocks · 21/12/2019 19:11

Definitely let the air out of her tyres, all 4 of them, it will be a massive pain for her, every time. If I was a cf it would stop me.

CorBlimeyGovenor · 21/12/2019 19:13

Tin cans tied to the back of a car. With an optional 'Just married (for the third time). Or a bumper sticker. I stuck one on a lusty colleagues car. It said, 'i'm not a dirty old man, I'm a sexy senior citizen'. He drove around for a few days before noticing!

haba · 21/12/2019 19:13

I have this same problem, but in not allowed to put a bollard up. It's so annoying, particularly when I have children with me and tons of shopping to bring in, and there's nowhere else to park.

sonjadog · 21/12/2019 19:14

Pour syrup on her windscreen.

underneaththeash · 21/12/2019 19:15

Fairy liquid is best, put it on the windscreen and door handles.

Few stones around the wheels are annoying too.

overwork · 21/12/2019 19:15

I regularly get people parking in my numbered parking space if I dare to take my car out during the day. I just park longways blocking them in. I've also tried the screaming like a fish wife method, out of my window. Poor woman looked mortified, though I admit it made me feel better at the time. I just don't understand why anyone would think it's okay to park on someone's else's property. Might have to look into one of these removable bollards though I hadn't thought of that!

birdsarecute45 · 21/12/2019 19:16

I have vaselined the window in similar circs.

I have a colleague who is a bit stupid like this. She parks on peoples driveways because she 'thinks' they are out for the day and she does not want to oay for parking.

She came in one day absolutely furious because she had been deliberately blocked in and when she knocked on the householders door was told that a) they had been drinking so could not get behin a wheel and b) were going to Cambridge for a long weekend.

She was enraged while everyone else in the office silently cheered.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 21/12/2019 19:16

Honey on the inside of the door handles (so she doesn't see it before she puts her hand in it).

mumwon · 21/12/2019 19:16

flour & water glue & raw potato in the exhaust
