Alphabet Street...join us for some parking drama!

[originalcatlady]

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...

She'll have to shuffle. She's blocking the space of the only person who actually has a legal claim to any of these spaces!

I can't help picturing Mrs B as Mrs Bucket (Bouquet) and Mr B as poor old Richard 😂 so glad you started a new thread OP, can't wait for the morning update!

I love this thread 😂

I think that for the next week op should park in ‘B’s space’ and only move to allow Mr or Mrs K to park there.

But where are the K's!?

This is just hilarious, some people really get so territorial about parking my estranged father used to be the same to the point he used to block neighbours in if they parked in his spot but he would park where he wanted. Arrogant man he is. We have to live with our neighbours and it really must eat some of your neighbours up and drag their moods down with this kind of silly childish behaviour from them. With street parking like that should they not just be happy not to be parked on the next street? Some people add just bananas 🍌

Love HopeYouStepOnALego's contribution!

Have finally read all the first thread and how number 2. B is a nutter and completely oblivious that she causes the parking issues. Ok she's either unaware or ignorant.
We have a couple 2 doors down from us who park in the middle of a space big enough for two cars but their Ford Focus goes in the middle. Move forwards or back I don't care but you're taking up two spaces!

What happed when mrs k came home tonight ? Did she have a space??

Oh wait I had no signal I'm still catching up lol I also want to still be reading this Saturday I hate Saturdays this is the highlight of my year so far !

Can't believe the behaviour of people!

God I wish you had live feed cctv in your street.

@VenusClapTrap...
You 'll needs to change that 'hundreds of MNers watching" to THOUSANDS! I live in Southern Calif,US and if I'm following, I bet the whole world is....OP, well done. ....your post has gone global! Woo hoo! Wait til mrs.b finds out she's an international celebrity

The devil in me wants you to give a dose of the same treatment to all future cars marked in that spot...

And then invite lots of friends round for a dinner party tomorrow

B is Batshit! I live in a long row of terraced houses, all on street parking. I'm quite disappointed that we don't have any major parking drama, lol. We have one woman who cannot park to save her life, she has a small car and quite literally can't park in a space big enough for 3 cars! I saw her trying once and she went back and forth about 20 times and ended up leaving the rear wheel on the pavement.

Following from Chicago, Illinois...this has been so entertaining!

OP are you okay if the papers pick this up? As entertaining as it is for the rest of us you have obviously identified yourself should one of the people involved read these threads and you are the one who has to live there. I assume they wouldn't make your life very pleasant if they knew

I am requesting update to the parking diagram to have red triangle (where workmen want it to be).

Following in Australia. This post is brilliant.

So this thread HAS actually almost gone global...we just need to hear from someone on the other 4 Continents and it's a done deal!

OP, I wouldn't worry too much about you being outted....you have only been reporting the facts to us...can't argue with that too much anyway

I’m picturing B as being more of a Miriam Margolyes type, when she’s in character for someone a bit batshit.

@PaddingtonBearHardStare most journalists don't know how to use apostrophes. They're hardly going to be able to turn this into any kind of cohesive news story even though OP somehow managed it!

@HopeYouStepOnALego me too. Why can we not have a big like button for posts!! Save time on commenting.

I think you need to have a some local Mumsnetters that you can call over the weekend to fill every space up as they become empty with 'strange' cars .
