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...

Mrs K is a legend!

So where is B parked? Is she even on your diagram?

Ahhh why is B at work? D is still home so my workmen have been forced to park their van in 1/2.

OP I thought you said last night that B had the early shift this morning and left home at 5.30?

How long will your workmen be parked in 1/2? Will they still be there when B returns?

@mumwon it's very quiet and echoey here. You can hear the birds singing you're just sitting doing nothing. So that, with their dramatic ragey voice, makes it very easy to hear. Although if I can see a particular drama about to unfold I do pop up to DSs room, who always has his window open (stinky teen) 👌

Yes she did. She will be home about 2. Remains to be seen if they clash. Whilst I want my jobs done, I am wishing they will be a bit slow so they are still here

@originalcatlady ask your workmen to not rush themselves, as you’re a perfectionist so want it done properly... then tell them you have an awful neighbour who has a sense of entitlement and you want to watch her go into meltdown over parking this afternoon!

sunshinesupermum · 03/02/2020 09:44

You could offer them copious amounts of coffee to keep them there? Depends whether they are rushing on to do another job this afternoon!

GabsAlot · 03/02/2020 09:53

Oh yes op do tell yor workman to take their time would love to see her passively explode when she gets home

sunshinesupermum · 03/02/2020 10:04

Of course B will just wait until they leave and then move into 1/2 unless someone else beats her to it.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 03/02/2020 10:11

Oh my god this really is the best thread.. Grin

Probably a big improvement on DM's normal reporting.

Supertrooper98 · 03/02/2020 10:37

Hilarious that it's in Daily Mail!
Don't worry OP B will never see that that's her!
Hopefully the Ks will see it though

I await an influx of new fans for this thread. This is excellent work OP, please keep it up.

Remember we were here first

originalcatlady · 03/02/2020 10:47

Oh dear lord. I'm famous for not having a life.

How is this news though?

OP posts:
GiveHerHellFromUs · 03/02/2020 10:49

Haha look at their diagram. Someone's gone to some serious effort to draw that up!

OP remember us when you're rich and famous.

I can't believe they've managed to make an article out of it. Slow news day.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 03/02/2020 10:50

They've used your diagram too.
Tell them you want some compensation!

And X belongs to A doesnt it?

Lweji · 03/02/2020 10:51

So funny that the DM diagram is copyrighted, while stealing the story from MN. Hmm

Lweji · 03/02/2020 10:54

And where did they get the "hysterical" from? That's all them. Twats.

HopeYouStepOnALego · 03/02/2020 11:19

Love that DM have created their own diagram and had the cheek to copywright it! Grin

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 03/02/2020 11:26

"One hogs the disabled spot and doesn't own a car". Yeah they just have a disabled spot for kicks eh
