Started a new thread on the off chance () that something funny might happen in my street later. Maybe around 10pm...

Diagram below for the handful of people in the country that haven't printed it off yet...

Loving Mrs K!

HannaYeah · 02/02/2020 19:29

Where was B parked while K was in 1/2 during the delivery?
And where is she parked now?

northernlittledonkey · 02/02/2020 19:37

I do think I’m over invested in your street. I’m bringing a flask & deckchair to watch...

DanceItOut · 02/02/2020 19:46

I can't believe how entertaining this STILL is. I want to live on your street, but in a house with a driveway so that I can just watch all the parking fun without having to compete for a space 😂

3rdchristmaslucky · 02/02/2020 20:07

Please invite Mrs K in for wine and show her the thread. Let them know they have the full support of MN.

@WitchQueenofDarkness it's Dickens - David Copperfield.

Gogolego · 02/02/2020 20:51

Sorry if I've missed this, but is there a Mr C?

WitchQueenofDarkness · 02/02/2020 20:52

@EntropyBanana - yes my mistake! I was thinking of Betty Barker who knitted a set of combinations for her beloved cow!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 02/02/2020 21:03

I am selurking just to let you know that this thread has kept me very happy for a few days and thank yoj

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:08

No Mr C.

B was in 1 during the delivery I think, I can't even remember now 🤣.

B is still watching. Maybe she bought the dressing gown especially to match her face.

I really think you need to let Mrs K know about the worldwide fan club she has!!

Has your friend left yet?

mumwon · 02/02/2020 21:19

watching history channel about ancient civilizations - thinks - I wonder if they had parking problems - Oi move your chariot, camel, donkey cart your parking in front of my villa, hut, cave …. Grin with appropriate diagrams when describing to friends marked IV V VI or by appropriate symbols (OK I am mixing times & civilizations)

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:33

Friend has just left. Mrs B was in her car before friend was in hers! She's still trying to get into 2. It's not going to happen.

Oh. Apparently driving to the end of the street to turn around and try it the other way will work.

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:37

No it won't. Currently sitting in the middle of the road (in her car I mean, she's not that mad) assessing the situation

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:38

She's trying out X. That's not going well either.

OP posts:
OneMoreWish · 02/02/2020 21:40

Love it

allthesharks · 02/02/2020 21:40

I can't believe B asked K to move her car. Well, I sort of can, because she's clearly batshit, but in what world does someone think that's a reasonable request?!

OP, what happened this week for this all to escalate? Or has it been like this for a while? Do you think it will just continue like this for ever more?

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:42

She's back next to strange car. All that way away. All that effort. What a shame.

BUT

C has arrived home and parked in 2 before B got back inside 🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
SallyLovesCheese · 02/02/2020 21:43

Oh, how I wish there was a live webcam where I could see B rushing to get into her car, then trying to park in two different spaces from different directions!!

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 21:43

B and F have always been like this.

It escalated in December when Mr and Mrs K arrived, along with their unreadable amount of deliveries and workmen 🙄. There's been daily drama since they "took over".

OP posts:
HannaYeah · 02/02/2020 21:44

I would suggest we pitch in and pay for her to have parking lessons. But that would spoil the fun and also won’t fix the fact that she’s crazy.

OlaEliza · 02/02/2020 21:46

👏👏👏 yasss C 😂

This has to be the best parking thread I've ever read.

I bet Mrs K is a MN'er.

MaggieFS · 02/02/2020 21:47

That's priceless. Well done C.
