I have a parking thread!

Come home from school run to someone parked on my private parking.

I've blocked them in as there's nowhere else for me to park and left a note to say I next plan to move my car tomorrow AM.

Cheeky fucker hasn't returned yet.

@rslsys I was referring to your drone idea - excellent!

Nillynally · 25/09/2021 20:08

No update?!

Merryweather80 · 25/09/2021 20:10

@Scandicc I was thinking exactly the same! Dick was cock blocked and has blue balls. Cock-wagon could remain cockless on op’s drive.

@Experiment627, are you on the right thread?

Experiment627 · 25/09/2021 20:39

@Staffy1 I am indeed!!! Please go up thread - an excellent suggestion was made to deploy drones across the land in order to add more visial information to MN parking threads

Yep - I suggested we should have a drone to photograph the scene and then to give live footage of the CF returning to the scene of the outrage. As it happens, no drone would have had the battery capacity to cope with the length of time this thread has run for. You would think that people would have used the time to read the whole thing . . . 🤯

Staffy1 · 25/09/2021 20:50

@Experiment627 @rlsys, ah, I found it finally. Yes, good idea Grin

daisychain01 · 25/09/2021 20:51

Drones are bloody hateful things - suggesting people use them is a massive invasion of other people's privacy, they wouldn't just fly over a CF parking where they shouldn't, they'd also pick up neighbouring properties.

So no, just no.

CurlyWurly321 · 25/09/2021 20:53

You can't just stop there?!

We don’t have a ‘tongue in cheek’ emoji . . . .

@daisychain01 worry not:
The MN fantasy drone army will deploy silent drones that will instinctively know not to invade anyone's privacy and will only film the dicksplat cars that are breaking parking rules. They will not infringe upon the GDPR.

daisychain01 · 25/09/2021 21:09

Lol @Experiment627 I forgot nowadays the new generation MN model is powered by automation and Artificial Intelligence so it knows a Dicksplat when it sees one Grin.

I prefer the analogue approach complete with purple and green crayoned drawing.

@debwong

Tell them it's not your drive and you've never seen it before.

Tell us this is not your thread and you never started it, you mean.
Over 400 messages. I hope you feel embarrassed. Such a "thread"-tease.

Madjakelmum · 25/09/2021 22:33

Ffs!! Been sat waiting on update!!

WTF475878237NC · 25/09/2021 22:43

I thought you could report them to the council if they are obstructing your drive? I know you can report them if they are parked partially over your drive. I would have tried to get them towed by the council maybe without blocking them in with hindsight but would have done what you did!

UnsuitableHat · 26/09/2021 07:00

The first diagram is the best I have ever seen.

CookieAubergine · 26/09/2021 07:56

So what happened???

AlCalavicci · 26/09/2021 08:07

How long do we give it before we all we give up one this thread ? Come on @Threearm update us.

@BorderlineHappy , it's tenterhooks not tenterhooks Smile.
Tenterhooks are nails /hooks on a Tenter, ( wooden frame) that's was used when making wool blankets

All them with ring door bells , what is the camara range on them ? Would my nighbours movements set them off ( front doors right next to each other )

@AlCalavicci
it's tenterhooks not tenterhooks

I stared at this for a stupidly long time trying to work out the error until I went back to borderlinehappy’s comment 😂

I did know it was ‘tenterhooks’ but didn’t know the origin and never got around to looking it up so thank you, that was very educational and for me, a pretty satisfying end to an otherwise disappointing thread 😊.
