Locked Parking Thread - The Actual End

1000 replies

BlueEyesWhiteDragon · 03/08/2021 18:53

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!

Still no manners or apology.

Please wait for him to apologise before finding the keys.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/08/2021 20:55

Too late.

We have spoken.

Wiglio · 03/08/2021 20:55

BlueEuesWhiteDragon I’m happy to find you a carvery dinner if you want to go out for one NOW

PyjamaFan · 03/08/2021 20:55

Five minutes away?

Is he bollocks.

MotionActivatedDog · 03/08/2021 20:55

5 mins away. Got held up.

Well we all know what his 5 minutes is- 5 days!

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon

FFS.

I've messaged.

You aren't here ..... again. I will not be arranging a third collection you do not turn up to. It will be towed tomorrow

He's replied.

5 mins away. Got held up.

No apology again!!!!!!!
airforsharon · 03/08/2021 20:55

He's not exactly in a rush to get his expensive vehicle back is he?! Confused

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/08/2021 20:55

5 mins away. Got held up.

Well, we all know how long his 5 mins are ....

scaffoldingtheworld · 03/08/2021 20:55

He’s an absolute cunt of a man.

If he’s there, I’d likely give him his car just to be done with it but I’d certainly be having words.

If his wife or parents or whoever is on here and reading this…..you must be so proud. What a cunt.

Wiglio · 03/08/2021 20:55

Fund

MadeForThis · 03/08/2021 20:55

Don't open the gate!!!

44PumpLane · 03/08/2021 20:55

OP, reply back "too late" and that's it... I'm furious on your behalf!!

Yeah of course he's 5 mins away. To take it to 9. Like he told you he would collect.

don't let the CF win. This was his plan all along

Blamelesscars · 03/08/2021 20:55

Sorry OP I would respond to him to say that unfortunately as you already told him 9pm is too late and you are unavailable. You gave him a time and he couldn’t stick to it. He does not get to dictate this

Thingsdogetbetter · 03/08/2021 20:55

I've just rejected an 'early night' suggestion from dh cos I'm so over invested in this!! Grin

susiebluebell · 03/08/2021 20:55

The irony of him saying he's 5 mins away!

MadeForThis · 03/08/2021 20:56

Do you know where he lives?

I would park on his drive.

He should have rang you/text you, sent smoke signals, I don’t care, he should have communicated that he got held up. STICK TO YOUR POST 8:30pm plans!

I don't think any of us will feel a sense of closure unless he says that he is sorry to you.

It's really not that difficult.

HyacynthBucket · 03/08/2021 20:56

You absolutely must tell him OP about the thousands of women around theworld (three continents at lezst) who think he is at absolute dickhead. Stay strong. Don't say OK. Get anexplanation from him and make it clear you think he is extremely rude and disrespectful.

Givemebackmylilo · 03/08/2021 20:56

No no no

DO NOT GIVE IN

YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN THIS OP

TempNameChangexx · 03/08/2021 20:56

What a fucker - if it was me I wouldn't be answering the door or the phone now
He wanted 9pm, he wasn't coming earlier

MrsRLynde · 03/08/2021 20:56

I wonder how it works with train companies who sell-off unclaimed property left in their carriages? There must be a point that OP becomes entitled to raffle it off for charity (Women's Aid?)? She can't have an enduring liability for storage, and it already represents an opportunity costs.

UniversalAunt · 03/08/2021 20:56

OMG, the five minutes are almost up!
I can’t bear it!

Will he, won’t he be there?

DobbyTheHouseElk · 03/08/2021 20:56

Got held up? What a plonker.

Lame excuse
