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.

@MotherMole we’ll take it… if you tell us DB blocked the twat Grin

TopBlogger · 28/09/2021 09:01

@MotherMole Has he got cameras on high alert to catch the owner's reaction? Please say yes! Plus what has he written in the "parking ticket" Grin

MotherMole · 28/09/2021 10:01

@TopBlogger He’s gone down the reasonable route to start with. He’s put a polite note in there informing them it is a private space and adbising them to park somewhere else.

@pelosi Sorry to let you down but not blocked in HOWEVER if the car isn’t gone today he’s said he’s giving them ‘special’ treatment 😂

I promise I will update in due course…. No cameras but I can draw a picture of the imagined reaction if you like 😂

MotherMole · 28/09/2021 10:03

*advising ffs

AdobeWanKenobi you could be right, but does it matter, if it's made up?
I like fiction, as long as it's entertaining.

If I put a sign saying "No Parking, offenders will be clamped" would that work? I'd love to buy a clamp and make 100 pounds release fee.

OP been arrested for lamping the CF?

YouLookNiceJackie · 28/09/2021 12:38

I got sick of a van just dumping his van across 4 parking spaces at a weird angle and making it difficult for people to get out and leaving people with no where to park. I invested in some of these stickers off Amazon and stuck it on his back light. The sticker stayed there for 4 days so I don't think he saw it straight away! He had now started parking more considerably 😆

Love it! Are they really sticky to make it hard to take off?

Where's the op gone? I put this on watch as it was getting juicy! No update at all lol

@thetemptationofchocolate

IndieR22 this was a good one.

The other one I liked was the school mum who parked on a drive and was then blocked in all night.

How terribly satisfying that one was. Thanks for the link; enlivened an otherwise grim day Smile
MLMbotsno · 28/09/2021 13:57

What happened?

Are they still blocked in?

BobISMyUncle · 28/09/2021 16:34

Probably her bloke has bought a new car and forgot to tell her? Both in the bath I suspect!

MotherMole · 28/09/2021 21:27

Evening all.

Update for you - CF car has now gone. Unfortunately he was at work so didn’t see their reaction to the ‘parking ticket’. He is getting CCTV installed and they experience this properly regularly with both their private spaces 🤩

@MobilityCat I’d soooo love to clamp a CF. Wouldn’t have the guts to do it though! DM is basically an unofficial parking warden on her road though, she would. She loves putting cones out to stop CF.

@YouLookNiceJackie Those stickers are amazing!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!! I’ll be buying some for DM. She will love putting them on cars during her daily patrols 😁😁😁

MLMbotsno · 28/09/2021 21:39

Thank you so much for posting the link to an old thread. I read it and the 2nd and 3rd follow ups.... oh my - was a great read.

YouLookNiceJackie · 28/09/2021 21:46

@MobilityCat I think so, that's why I didn't stick it on his paintwork. Didn't want to get done for criminal damage!! Plus I didn't want him to see it straight away so everyone behind him on his way home knew he was a dick 😂.

@MotherMole you have to buy your DM some!! We could form a MN parked like a dick detector agency and when we see one of these stickers we give a nod to fellow pissed off MNetters!

MotherMole · 28/09/2021 21:55

@YouLookNiceJackie there’s quite a few different (and ruder) ones on eBay. She does have a big birthday coming up soon…

YouLookNiceJackie · 28/09/2021 22:08

@MotherMole I decided to start off slightly less aggressive but if his wankery starts up again, the c*nt ones are in my shopping basket!!

MotherMole · 28/09/2021 22:17

@YouLookNiceJackie Love it!!!!! I will report back on DM use of the stickers 😀😀😀😀

Good luck with yours @MotherMole.

Here is the link to the first of the "Blocked-in CF School Mum" epic threads mentioned by @MLMbotsno. It is a good 'un... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3278894-my-first-parking-thread

Somewhat ironically, I suspect that I need to get out more... Wink

Weenurse · 01/10/2021 13:06

Loving these other parking threads, any more recommended?

helibirdcomp · 02/10/2021 18:58

Any hackers in our midst who could hack her ring doorbell and send her lots of pictures of cars turning into drives?

IndieR22 · 02/10/2021 19:50

Did OP really not come back with any updates?!
