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...

This is brilliant. And tonight's shenanigans are nothing to do with K so she can't even complain!

BoomBoomsCousin · 30/01/2020 22:13

Make sure you don't have your lights on in case they can see your silhouette.

I think it would be better to invite old D back for the evening and get a couple of lawn chairs and the very biggest sized popcorn from the cinema. When B pulls up take the chairs out into the street, set up with a good view and sit there sharing the popcorn and pointing out various cars and spaces to each other. Gasp every time B attempts to pull into a space and fails.

Ineedanap90 · 30/01/2020 22:13

Haha she can't park even with the space free.. This is where the K family casually drive down and park in the space straight away

DanceItOut · 30/01/2020 22:13

Or he maybe didn't take Mrs Bs side in the parking wars and she's offed him

HopeYouStepOnALego · 30/01/2020 22:13

Wouldn't want to be Mr B when she gets inside.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 30/01/2020 22:14

Ha! Do they have blinds too? Maybe he's sneakily watching her as well, fed up of her drama Grin

Gogolego · 30/01/2020 22:14

Bet mr B is getting a right earful about not moving the red triangle

BigFatLiar · 30/01/2020 22:14

is Mr B asleep

Hiding behind the curtains sniggering at Mrs b perhaps

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:14

She's back. She's managed to get in forwards this time. Except she can't get out as the triangle she moved onto the pavement in right by her drivers door!

It would be brilliant if Mr K came home and neatly reversed straight into 1. Just to rub salt into the wound.

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:14

@GiveHerHellFromUs yes!!!!

I almost feel sorry for the woman, trying to park while hundreds of MNetters are secretly ‘watching’ her.

Almost.

Modern life is surreal.

mummmy2017 · 30/01/2020 22:15

Could your unknown cars be the K's playing with Mrs B. Maybe he has a garage.

DanceItOut · 30/01/2020 22:15

Aw now I'm disappointed she got in the space

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:15

She's now reversed all the way into X, got out and moved the sign again and has now settled into 1/X. She's clearly worried someone may park behind her

VittysCardigan · 30/01/2020 22:16

Pleeease let Mr or Mrs K come back and park i 1. Preferably completing the move with a handbrake turn

MaggieFS · 30/01/2020 22:16

She sounds like the female equivalent of Basil Fawlty

Gogolego · 30/01/2020 22:16

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to her not being able to get out because of the triangle

Ineedanap90 · 30/01/2020 22:16

So she's stuck in her car fuming at Mr B.. Will she make an escape through the sunroof? Or perhaps the boot?

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:16

Wouldn't like to be Mr B right now

So she's now partially parked in a disabled space?

Has anyone ever dared to park fully in space 1 when there are other spaces available?

GiveHerHellFromUs · 30/01/2020 22:17

OP I think you should make a 'permit holders only' sign for x and clamp her. I have a spare clamp if you want it Grin

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:18

After a good look up and down, with a shake of her head, she goes inside. Mr B awaits his fate.

I’m thinking someone a bit more down to earth, Cate Blanchett perhaps
