A parking thread (with a bit extra)

[Pljeskavica]

I probably am unreasonable, but everyone loves a parking thread right?

We live in a popular, family-oriented and well-to-do part of a city. At the end of our road of about 50 or so houses is a discreet brothel. No flashy lights, it looks mostly like a normal home, and it closes at 7pm. It specialises in the more mature offering. I’ve been on the website, it’s something else.

Anyhow, one of the women working there has a very distinct look - think OTT Bette Gilroy here - and drives an equally distinctive car. She has started parking this car at our end of the road, the opposite end to her work. Despite there being space closer. The houses are 1920s semis with no parking, so her parking there causes some problems for those who live here (I’ve asked to convert the front garden to a drive, we’re not allowed).

More significantly, not-Bette and her car is a bit of a sight to behold for the young families. Our neighbour with two under 5 boys wants our support in asking the woman to park closer to her work / away from our houses. I can see why she’s not comfortable.

AIBU to not offer our support even though it’ll damage neighbourly relations?

AIBU - support your neighbour
AINBU - what does it matter where she works / parks

Welcome to MN, OP. What an interesting and attention grabbing first thread you've written :-)

Somehow I don't think this thread is going to have a happy ending.

That can be arranged, but it costs extra.

Surely a decent brothel would want to ensure this for all, think of the publicity darling.

glad it's not just me with a sense of humour

Women who have dyed hair and wear bright colours can park in the exact same places available to women in beige cardigans.

I've reported this comment as it's not in the spirit of the site.

I am sitting here wondering why my 4 year old son would be harmful to see such a car ?
