A house down the road is having some work done and the workmen have parked their van blocking the access road to 40-odd garages. I nicely asked them to move it this morning so I could get out, which they did without and hassle. I came back and they were there again! On-street parking is a nightmare and there were no other spaces so I've blocked them in. I'm several houses down and am in now until 2-ish. There is technically another exit but it's a right pain to get to, so they can try doing a 100-point turn if they like...

Diagram to follow.

Your stickers include calling people c**ts

That isn’t healthy 😧

@Didkyle 😆

Now that’s lighthearted

@Didkyle
Maybe....but you're still rude and incredibly patronising. I didn't turn this into a personal attack - you did.
I wasn't laughing at your comment. I was laughing at you but at least you've kept me entertained during treatment.
Now, really please just go away and victimise someone else.

Not sure there’s much lighthearted about leaving a sticker on someone’s car calling them a “c**t” for using a drop off / pick up space

Nocookiesforme · 10/11/2025 18:44

@Repsoff - to be honest I have never used a c**t one. I usually use the knob one 😉
Obviously you have never tried to get a chair, shopping and your disabled self into a car that's had to block the road because inconsiderate knobs have blocked access to the DO/PU area by parking in it and gone shopping?
Who can actually defend this type of behaviour and if someone realises that they've been unreasonable with their parking somewhere then it's done it's job - yes? Perhaps rather than leaving a sticker I should be ramming the vehicle with my chair or the car door while saying "ooops" brightly in the spirit of keeping it light hearted ????
Apologies to @CatHugger for having your thread derailed by some people who are without a sense of humour 🙂

I always start with the knob one if doing a vehicle in my neighbourhood and work upwards to c/t if they're a bit slow to get the idea*

I took it to mean you stickered some cars calling them a c**t 🤷‍♀️

So they've moved straight away for you this morning, no hassle but you're going to be petty? Nice move.

You've already said there's no parking. What do you expect them to do?
