Would you block her in?

I’m WFH and just taking my lunch so thought I’d also whip the bin out. As I do, a car crawls past and then reverses into our parking spot. (It’s our private spot and has our number sprayed in it as well as a sign saying ‘Private parking for number 30’) A woman gets out so I said “Excuse me, sorry you can’t park there” she looks and me and just wanders off up the street.

I mean, I get she might not have realised (although the sign is big and prominent) but to be told and then still walk off without moving - the cheek.

I was a bit taken aback if I’m honest so went back in the house and then I thought, no sod this and I went and knocked on the door of the house she went in, I waited a bit but no one answered!

I wouldn’t mind as such if someone was quickly dropping something off but she’s obviously stopping for a bit. The annoying thing too is the house she’s gone in has a driveway and there’s room for this visitor on it. So I’m a bit Confused to why she’s parked in our private bay.

Grrr, I can’t keep knocking as going back to work (WFH) in a bit, so would I be unreasonable to just block her in with my car? Blush I feel like I need to make a point Grin

Yes, block her in. And don't answer the door when she comes knocking.

lockdownalli · 05/07/2021 14:04

Block the bitch and hit the Gin

Imissmoominmama · 05/07/2021 14:05

Did she definitely hear what you said?

SofiaMichelle · 05/07/2021 14:05

I absolutely would block her in, the CF.

I have a low tolerance for CFery, though.

Hesma · 05/07/2021 14:05

Where’s the obligatory diagram 🤣

Block her in the CF!!!

britnay · 05/07/2021 14:05

Haha I thought that, I’m likely to be on a call anyway Grin

Block her in.
Leave a note saying as I told you, this is private parking belonging to number X. Come knock when you need to leave.

Well, maybe not the note but God wouldn't it be tempting 😁

DifficultBloodyWoman · 05/07/2021 14:07

Yes.

littledrummergirl · 05/07/2021 14:07

Do it!

PinkiOcelot · 05/07/2021 14:08

Why aren’t you parked in it if it’s your spot? Genuine question.
However, yes block her in and don’t answer the door.

QuimKardashian · 05/07/2021 14:08

But if she parked in your spot, where was your car?? She hasn't taken a space if your car wasn't there, and if your car was parked elsewhere - have you taken someone elses spot?

Aprilx · 05/07/2021 14:09

Yes block her in. Where was your car if not already using the space?

QuimKardashian · 05/07/2021 14:09

I mean, you have to move your parked car, to park in front of her car? Why?

BarbarianMum · 05/07/2021 14:09

Hell yes. And then don't answer the door.

Frymetothemoon · 05/07/2021 14:10

Block her in!

2 spaces per house?
ForeverSausages · 05/07/2021 14:10

Also confused as to where your car is haha. But yes, block her in.

BarbarianMum · 05/07/2021 14:10

@QuimKardashian maybe the OPs household has two cars and the other is out at the moment?

awaywiththefae · 05/07/2021 14:11

@Imissmoominmama

Did she definitely hear what you said?
I assumed so as she was looking straight at me when I was speaking. You’ve got me thinking now, maybe I’ll go knock again. Blush

Block her in! Block her in! (Chanting & place marking)

Horehound · 05/07/2021 14:12

Fucking right i would. Entitled person. Especially after you spoke to her..pfft get her blocked in

FatCatThinCat · 05/07/2021 14:12

You're only allowed to block someone in if you're prepared to come back and update us.

Carrotgarrotte · 05/07/2021 14:12

Do it

Sorry I realise that wasn’t clear. We have two assigned spots, I’m parked in the left. DH usually parks in the right and has gone off to work. The woman is parked in the right one (so DH’s space)
