AIBU: Waiting *all day* to find out what happened on the CF parking thread

[agonyauntie2020]

Just finished work, fired up my computer, more excited about this than the series finale for GofT and.... it's been deleted by Mumsnet. Can anyone tell me, in a way that MN will be ok with, what happened??? Please? I live a quiet life, obvi.

Is that the one near the hospital?

Yes!

Same 😡😡

I can never understand how people get so over invested in threads like that - it was fairly obviously a load of tosh

Another thread has already been zapped about it - this will be too!

What the hell

Ditto. I got as far as Barry and Gary's cars being keyed and then it disappeared without explanation.

I was reading that.

The last few updates seemed to be far fetched so when it disappeared I assumed it was a bridge dweller??

It just seemed to get a bit ridiculous towards the end.

It was zapped and MNHQ wrote a lovely little poem for a deletion message.

OP if you are serious most threads like that are rubbish

This is a TAAT so will be deleted - BUT - I agree with the OP of this thread that it's all immensely frustrating when someone creates something, everyone gets invested, and it turns out to be bullshit

I was also wondering!!!

I cant believe how many people fall for this shit.

People getting invested in nonsense is their own problem.

Message from MNHQ: There was an OP called BlueLilly
On whose drive people parked willy nilly
Along came Gary and Mike - who were up for a fight
But it all made the thread rather silly

I was reading along as well and then suddenly found it deleted. So the whole story was made up? Admittedly it was getting a bit weird. Who has time to make up stories though and why would you want to?

It was quite obvious it ticked all the boxes.

Over invested neighbour.
Angry husband.
Local big men.
People begging for updates.

I read up until this morning but didn’t see much further, my phone was still logged on to the page so thought ‘yippee let’s find out what happened’ and gone :-(

What I don’t get though is why people make stuff up like that? Don’t they have anything better to do?

Haha @ShoesandmoreShoes snap!

Don't waste any more time wondering OP. It was all a load of nonsense and got more and more ridiculous as it went along. You can make up your own ending because we were all being fed a load of drivel.

The OPs writing style did not match that of someone who apparently worked from home and had back to back conference calls..

I can make one up for you if you like. I'm sure it will be just as realistic entertaining.

Let me go and park my car over the end of my drive so I can take an authentic photo for you, draw a diagram, and Penguin Bollards are your uncle I'll be ready to go.
If you like I'll do it in rhyming couplets, Julia Donaldson style.

When I opened my front door
You'll never believe what I saw
Not only one white van but two
Parked across my drive and view
I'm calling friends, phoning 101
But still I find they haven't gone...

Thanks for all the replies. So the consensus is it was made up?

OMFG! If this is right, although I am disappointed, I am glad to know it because it means I will be much more careful in threads I get invested in in the future. I actually feel like I should get off MN for a bit if I can be taken in like this maybe I am over-investing.

I believe in karma and if the OP was just wasting everyone's time and emotional energy in writing advice and suggestions, well, she (or whoever) will reap what they sow one day.

Or could it be if keying cars and law got involved, MN took it down because of that? --Clutching at straws I know.

It was blatantly bullshit going by this mornings update but anyone calling it out was slagged off
