Locked Parking Thread - The Actual End

This has been a wild ride made substantially more entertaining by DBs shenanigans but the end is in sight.

Hopefully by 8.35 the car will be free. I will be downing something alcoholic and next time the straw comes I'll make him bring it in by hand one bale at a time WITHOUT unlocking the gate!

I'm going to go for dignified and just let him out and convince myself that him moving it at all makes this a draw my victory. He no doubt will do the same and we'll both potter off happily into the sunset hopefully never to meet again!

"You've missed several opportunities to remove your car from private property. If you are not here at (insert time that suits you), you will need to contact this company to arrange collection from them. They will charge a fee for the removal, storage and collection".

[quote Franklydear]@BlueEyesWhiteDragon at 8.31 just send the message : the tow company name s x, that’s it, no number, no explanation, nothing, and don’t answer any more messages, don’t block him though cos we need you to come back and tell us[/quote]
This. Do not go beyond 8.30. The tosser should be early, not late by a nanosecond.

thenightsky · 03/08/2021 20:23

Christ, the bloody brass neck on him Shock

Anyone else would be rushing around doing your bidding in order to get their precious car back. I can't believe the downright arrogance. Would you not rearrange your day to make it on time, or rush straight over now? I mean, he lives in cycling distance anyway I assume.

MuddyStiletto · 03/08/2021 20:23

Oh God, please tell me its not your brother playing a joke

"You've missed your chance tonight. I will be available at 5.30am. Come then or don't bother coming at all."

minisoksmakehardwork · 03/08/2021 20:24

I am so not Desperately hoping that cf is 5 minutes later than the extra half hour you have graced him with, and then has to collect from tow company tomorrow.

Glumgal · 03/08/2021 20:25

Are we ready for the 5 minute countdown Grin

I am 100% convinced this guy is actually trolling you OP.

No one normal is actually happy to leave their car on some stranger’s drive for 4/5 days. It just makes no sense. He’s totally playing with you.

mrscatmad31 · 03/08/2021 20:26

Sat with my G and T refreshing the page 😁

F5 - Is CF man about to sink his own battleship?!

BrightYellowDaffodil · 03/08/2021 20:26

The sheer cheek of the man to act as if this is all an inconvenience and he’s doing you a favour, OP. I am boiling with rage on your behalf.

Is there any way he won’t see the back of the vehicle before he drives away? If this is the case, I’d attach a notice to the back that says “I am an entitled twat” and amuse myself at a) how long it will take him to notice and b) how many people behind him will see it.

Failing that, couldn’t the FC have an emergency they need to attend to that will necessitate dragging his vehicle out of the way? “Oh we’re terribly sorry, we’d had reports of a lame centipede sighting”.

WildingFae · 03/08/2021 20:27

Just catching up!

Can't believe you're also the op with the mad horse stalker! Argh.

Fernando072020 · 03/08/2021 20:27

Argh - what if he's actually there right now????

RocketPanda · 03/08/2021 20:27

I have to say these threads have been a tonic. Chemo has knocked me for six but @BlueEyesWhiteDragon your predicament has had me laughing when not vomiting.

MaMelon · 03/08/2021 20:27

DH and I were supposed to go out for a walk tonight but it’s raining so we are ‘choosing’ not to go. I’m gutted as you can imagine.

MyOtherProfile · 03/08/2021 20:27

Phew made it back just in time. Had to yank dd out of training with no chance to chat so I didn't miss anything...

MotionActivatedDog · 03/08/2021 20:28

Sliding in for a quick game of boules with beckham.

Trudij123 · 03/08/2021 20:29

2 mins….

Can you live-stream things Op? Please??

DobbyTheHouseElk · 03/08/2021 20:29

Does he actually want his car? Maybe he’s hoping it will get damaged as an insurance job.

Seriously, take photos of the car pre collection so he doesn’t pull a fast one.

What a prick. CF

little0miss0mac · 03/08/2021 20:29

60 second countdown.

RocketPanda · 03/08/2021 20:29
