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!

He thinks you're bluffing.

NoProblem123 · 03/08/2021 19:53

Sorry OP but your being too accommodating.
You stated what times you were available but have fitted in with what he wants.

You need an emergency tonight elsewhere.

Flamingosarentreal · 03/08/2021 19:53

my comment was shock that he'd asked that

Knittingupastorm · 03/08/2021 19:54

CF - I meant tomorrow evening but in order to get this resolved ill be there this evening.

“In order to get this resolved”!! It’s his car! It’s like he thinks he’s doing you a massive favour by resolving this.

Callmejudith · 03/08/2021 19:54

What an absolute dick he is

ShamelessCurtainTwitcher · 03/08/2021 19:54

Stellar rundown of your text exchange OP.

You took no shit and remained dignified. 🍻

TeapotCollection · 03/08/2021 19:54

I hope I’m wrong but I predict he won’t be there at 8:30 but will turn up 1-1.5 hours later

Still want to know who his ex footie friend is 😁

Fkrkrodps · 03/08/2021 19:54

I love his tone…. as though you are being very difficult and he’s doing you a favour.

Spudlet · 03/08/2021 19:56

Fucking hell, the nerve of this guy Shock

newnortherner111 · 03/08/2021 19:56

If he is one minute late, do not open the gate unless a police man or woman is there. After all, nearly dusk and he could damage the car and try to blame you.

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 03/08/2021 19:57

Personally I think you need to set up a device in view of the gate and organise an epic zoom call so we can watch the twat pick up his Ranger and then maybe you could virtually introduce us to your DB.

@BlueLobelia

I always wanted to live on a farm.

Wot with this and the previous horse owner saga I am thinking it all sounds really rather stressful

(In other words- placemarking. ;) )

The blissfully peaceful countryside is a myth. I grew up rurally in the west country and the shit that used to go down on a weekly basis, I can't tell you.

My dad wrote to me weekly when I was at university [ancient] and used to categorise each week as either an Archers week or an EastEnders week in the village.

icelollycraving · 03/08/2021 19:57

Jesus, he’s acting like he’s doing you an enormous favour Shock
I’m hoping he doesn’t turn up so you get him towed.

DartmoorDoughnut · 03/08/2021 19:58

If I call the CFer a c u next Tuesday can I still marry your DB @BlueEyesWhiteDragon? ignoring the fact that I have a DH already

atlastifoundit · 03/08/2021 19:58

More power to your elbow OP.

MuddyStiletto · 03/08/2021 19:58

He's playing with you
Go and allow him 5 minutes, if a no show go home
I'd refuse to engage with him anymore

brokenbiscuitsx · 03/08/2021 19:58

Ugh he’s such a dick

MeridianB · 03/08/2021 19:58

@RandomMess

If he doesn't apologise I would actually ask him if he really doesn't have any manners at all.
This!
WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/08/2021 19:59

I don't know about the legalities of it all, but if you could film him when he comes to finally collect the car/see it being hoiked into a ditch upside down, upload it to YouTube with links of all the MN threads, you'd never have to farm again!

If 'Charlie Bit Me' made the boys half a million, you could be joining Bezos with the loot from this absolute gold!!

loopyapp · 03/08/2021 20:00

First time responding but I've been a die hard follower of these threads. OP you have filled my evenings with entertainment with your wit and patience for the CF.. personally I think he was playing kerplunk with kane!!

P.s I may or may not have shamelessly pmd you my number for DB SWOON

Mummylovesmonkeys · 03/08/2021 20:00

Do you think we could have a whip round, buy this and have it delivered for use before 8:30?

LivingInABuildingSite · 03/08/2021 20:00

Just updated DH, great text messaging OP 👏

MadeForThis · 03/08/2021 20:00

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon
Take no shit and don't ask for excuses.

Just state "just so there is no confusion, this isn't a car park. If your car is ever on my land again it will be towed immediately"

And mutter "Wanker"

DartmoorDoughnut · 03/08/2021 20:00

@BlueLobelia sorry about the disappointing burger Sad if it helps bedtime is taking forever and the curry has been cooking all afternoon and smells amazing and I’m sodding starving!!

DrBlackbird · 03/08/2021 20:00

Who are the unsupportive sisters voting YABU??!

Must be either a) entitled narcissistic men, b) Ranger owners includes a or c) friends of the wanker wading in here anonymously trying to somehow deflect the wankishness onto the OP, but failing also includes a.
