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!

Oh the irony of another 5 minutes suggestion from the cheekiest of all CFs ever. You could also reply oh like your last five minutes

MotionActivatedDog · 03/08/2021 20:59

I wonder if we’ve read about this man on the relationships board. I bet he’s one of the many asshole exes who never turns up on time to collect his children and their mother is forever cancelling her own plans as a result.

Givemebackmylilo · 03/08/2021 20:59

How many people right now are watching this thread

I'm so curious

CaptainThe95thRifles · 03/08/2021 20:59

I think there will be a mumsnet revolt if the OP lets him out at his desired time of 9pm Shock

KnightandDay · 03/08/2021 20:59

@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.

Not good enough! He's such an unbelievable dick! Just wants to get his own way. In reality I'd just let him take it and go but I'd want to not give in.

@Yesitsbess

I have so much secondhand rage right now. This is worse than when I had to hold a tree surgeon hostage and shout at 3 other angry tree surgeons over a gate whilst waving a glass of wine in a menacing fashion until they handed over a large sum of cash they owed me.

My daughter maintains it's probably the coolest thing I've ever done. Wine

May need more detail on that Shock
Onthebrink87 · 03/08/2021 20:59

How? How are you so patient?! He'd have fucked it with me by now. I would quite happily take a charge for criminal damage - I'm apoplectic on your behalf! 🤬🤬🤬

SometimesIFeedTheSparrows · 03/08/2021 20:59

"But last time you said 5 minutes you meant 3 hours which then turned into 3 days...."

PerciphonePuma · 03/08/2021 20:59

DO NOT LET HIM DO THIS!!!!__ CFs remain CFs because of the people who allow it!!! Do not enable him! BN

brokenbiscuitsx · 03/08/2021 21:00

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar

He uses "5 minutes" a lot, doesn't he? To mean anything from five minutes to several days. I wonder if he can't count any higher than five.
I bet he says ‘5 mins’ in bed but it’s 5 seconds.
PerciphonePuma · 03/08/2021 21:00

No idea what BN means 🤦🏼‍♀️

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/08/2021 21:00

He might prefer to pay the tow truck fee where he will be anonymous than to have to face the OP again knowing he is in the wrong.

I don't think he does know that he's in the wrong. I bet he'd try to make OP pay for the tow truck 'because it's all her fault'.

BasicDad · 03/08/2021 21:00

Phone off...closed doors. Ignore anything else. Tow at the earliest convenience....before 5pm tomorrow. Don't communicate with him. Let the tow company deal with it.

winewolfhowls · 03/08/2021 21:00

Stick to your guns!

EmoIsntDead · 03/08/2021 21:00

No fucking way I’d be opening the door after 9 to him!

ScrambledSmegs · 03/08/2021 21:00

I really hope you just replied with the number of the tow truck company OP

pheonixrebirth · 03/08/2021 21:00

@SquashMinusIsShit

Happy to chip in a couple of quid if you set up a crowd funder to pay for the tow truck
I'll chip in to👍
spinningspaniels · 03/08/2021 21:00

He's not going down without a fight, is he?! Arrogant little fucker.

OMG! OP we all know his '5 mins' = 4 days!!! Just say No! Call the tow truck!

Cleverpolly3 · 03/08/2021 21:01

He really has the hide of a rhino
Must be all that cycling Grin

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 03/08/2021 21:01

Grin brokenbiscuitsx

Lanique · 03/08/2021 21:01

He is clearly playing a game op. Do you think he might be aware of this thread?

Window1 · 03/08/2021 21:01

@Blamelesscars

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
Please do this if you haven't already.
Fieldsoftripe9 · 03/08/2021 21:01

Happy to pay the whole tow fee myself! Do not let him win!
