some mad bint left a note on my car.......

[pukkapatch]

knew that would get attention! you all think this is in reaction to the other m&t car parking thread, dont you?

well, i parked my car perfectly legally on a road next to a park. i needed to getto the pavillion and parking there meant it was a shorter walk than parking at the parks car park. i was late. when i came back, some one had left a note on my windscreen telling me topark in the council provided car park, andnot on their street.
so i wrote on it's back that i had a councils provided, valid tax disc that entitled me to park anywhere legally on the roads, and that included this one.

did i do right? OR SHOUld i have ignoree the sad bint? may bave been a bloke

When I was at college, my dad used to park on a residential street, until he got left a note asking him not to.

My parents also live on a road where it's double yellow lines down one side, close to schools and where all the neighbours would fight for somewhere to park, inc me when I lived there. I hated it when people parked their vans there as you can never see traffic coming as our part of the road was like a u-bend!

Wisteria pmsl at your note to the church warden!!!!

And to the OP - no YANBU. Agree completely

I used to live in a very busy street, where the parking spaces were minimal and if there was a football game on the whole road was chock-a-block. I came home once on a Friday after work (a football friday) and had to park very marginally on the yellow lines - I went out and stayed with a friend that night. When I got back on the Saturday afternoon, my car had been towed away and impounded. £170 to get it back, which was probably more than the car was worth (sob).

well it is twattish fuckwittery at its best isn't it......leaving any kind of note on anyone's car to be honest!

I did once Ia dmit leave a note on a car that ahd blocked the entrance to the park saying 'its a good job I'm not in a wheelchair, it was hard enough lifting a baby buggy 6 feet high to get over the fence and past your car'- but in my defence I'd been waiting 15 minutes and it was getting dark.

Parking is such a contentious issue!
We live on a corner and a few years ago we had someone banging on the door in a temper as a note had been left on their car reading something like
'Please don't park your crappy car outside my house, if you do it again I will call the council and have it towed away.'

Unfortunately, the car in question was outside my kitchen window so the driver understandably assumed it was me who had left the note, her car was taxed, and was parked perfectly reasonably!

The same house (who left the note) regularly park on a white line blocking our garage and once asked me to move my car so they could park outside their house. I pointed out I had a baby asleep in teh house so didn't want to go out and anyway there was nowhere to move my car to and he called me a lazy f*ing bitch.

Just be smug that you don't have to get petty about such a small thing!

lol at some ot the other anecdotes on here.
i agree, leaving a note on a car is very childish at best. but i just had to reply. and i love the church one. maybe your db could go there and embarass them further by telling them how wonderful they werer by allowinghis disabled sister to park so close to home etc etc etc. really make them squirm.

we once had a car left in front of our house for four months. it was parked legally so the council couldnt do anything about it. but it was very annoying. i'm very glad i live on a road where parking isnt a problem

We have no choice but to park in a different street, ours has restrictions. My neighbour has had countless parking tickets even though he has a disabled badge. I moved my car from outside someone's house the other day because when they came out and complained about not being able to park their van (which was parked somewhere else already, so when the space became free they could have moved into it) they seemed so unpleasant I would have been expecting to come back and find that he'd kicked huge dents into it or something.

If he ever says anything again I will be braver and point out that as long as I have a tax disc I have just as much right to park there as anyone else does.

I've never left a note on anyone's car regardless of how much they've annoyed me. Not even on the windscreens of people misusing P&T spaces, the tit who parked in front of me on a street, literally touching my bumper so I had to wait til they'd finished their shopping before I could go, or the other tit who abandoned their car diagonally behind mine in Sainsbury's today.

You so are not BU. I hate all the parking politics aournd here. We have car parking areas none of the are allocated but there is actually plenty of them, I have a drive but the only one in this wee bit and it is sooo funny watching the neighbours run in and out their houses moving their cars when people leave the car park.

I particularly enjoy annoying my neigbour across the road, where my house is I am in nobodys way if I park just at the bottom of my drive in the road, I sometimes do because the space to get in is really tight si if I am coming and going through the day it is easier to just put it in at the end of the day. Now in no way does this obstruct my neighbour in any way cause I am at the end of the car parks so only me and my next door neighbours drive up as far as my house but for some reason this woman really gets the hump that I don't pull into the drive everytime. Mind you she is the worst for parking at someone arse if the park in "her" space.

i thought about putting a note on a womans car telling her to bugger off and not park outside our house, but only because i could go into labour any minute and i don't fancy walking to wherever dh managed to park the car whilst having agonising contractions.

i didn't do it though, she must have picked up on my outrage vibes.

we had residential parking outside our house and because not many had cars there was pleanty of space for everyone. normally you'd park in front of your house or at worse one space down or across. you can hardly get better than that in london I though unless you have a drive. but oh no... I once parked my car in front of next door neighbour as 'mine' was occupied by te other neighbour and unluckily the next day the car wouldn't start. after 2 days I found a nasty note from the neighbour, his car being behind mine, so 2 yards away from his front gate.

My reply was 'I really apologise for having caused so much distress. I wasn't not aware that the space outside your flat was yours. I'd be grateful if you could please let me know how to go about acquiring this pprivilege myself so that I can stop people parking in my space.
Also my car was not working, next time I'll make sure I'll inform you.' ot something along this lines. I was glad we moved two weeks later. oh people can be so so arsey about parking.
