to think my dh was a total knob today

driving back from tesco we got to the front door of the house to find that once again there were no parking spaces, we stay on a army estate and live right next to the police station/dhe/families office and nursery so parking can be a night mare during the week, instead of parking 20 metres down my dh decides to park right at our door blocking the whole road

just as he done this and got out the car another car came down behind us and (quite rightly) beeped his horn, dh started shouting that as this was his house he could park where he wanted.

the other car then started to reverse back up the street (if i was the driver i would have got out and stuck the baggette in the back seat up dh's arse)

while all this was going on i was trying to climb over from the passenger seat to move the car myself as i could see neighbours looking out there windows and was feeling

dh then got back in the car and moved it 20 metres down to park it.

i have given him a hard time all afternoon about it saying it was totally uncalled for but he thinks he was still in the right, his argumnet about not wanting to let the other car past was that the man driving was one of the workmen who cause our street to be so busy (ffs the guy is only trying to do his job)

does anyone agree that he is a knob!!!!

i might just show him this later on and let him see that he was in the wrong.

btw usually he is a lovely guy so god knows what got into him today!!!

i dunno, i'm kind of loopy when it comes to parking too

NAB3littlemonkeys · 14/12/2007 18:51

Showing him this might annoy him even more.

everyone can have their 'knob head' days, us girls included. Let it go KK. seems like you put him in his place anyway and he might think twice about it another time

kerryk · 14/12/2007 18:56

it would be nice if he would have his knobhead days away from the front door though, especially since i have new neighbours and i want them to think i am posh

right

give the poor bloke a break.

speaking as somebody who ran the gauntlet of no parking outside my own home, I can totally identify with this mini parking "breakdown".

southeastastra · 14/12/2007 19:01

i 'flipped the bird' to my neighbour who took the last place, felt like a plank afterwards - but at the time it felt great

We have to do this on our road (ie block the road whilst we unload the shopping or whatever) - the neighbours are all as patient as each other. It is a royal pain though.

I do think the bloke was a bit premature in beeping - he could see what you were doing, surely and realised it wouldn't be parked there forever!

kerryk · 14/12/2007 19:31

actually dh was planning on just parking there, but as our card key only has to be within a few metres of the car for the car to start i would of been able to start the car again and move it. well able to mave it a bit then it would possibly have cut out on me.

dh was just going to leave the car there all afternoon.
