to have wanted to beat this man with his fecking hoover

[ElectricElephant]

Parked in a residentail street. Didn't block any access/driveways/lowered kerbs/double yellows/disabled space/anything. was a public road.

Got back to car to hours later - middle aged man hoovering his car "Oh, it's yours it is?"
"Yes, sorry - would you mind moving your car - you're blocking me in?"
"Sorry, you'll have to wait until I'm finished"

He had blocked me in, both sides, with his car and his wife's.

Explained I needed to get going, he turned his back and switched the hoover back on.

Twat.

btw, i'd been at the local village hall helping out with a NNS for the toddler group.

What would you have done?

so so low today (not just cause of this) and all your replies are making me feel so much better. On a diet, so no chocolate for me, but am going to get DS a peppa pig dvd, which will make him so happy, it'll end up making me happy.

Damn - tears! again! If I didn't know better I'd swear I was pregnant!!!!

Vinomum what a tosser!!

I used to live on a street with no off-road parking, I totally appreciate how bloody annoying it is when someone parks in the space outside your house. (Usually when you have done a massive cupboard shop I find), but of course you can't do anything about it.

I'd never say anything though, as you point out, I have no right to the space...

but... 6 weeks - yes, that would have me reporting it as an abandoned car

dont cry..... i know how you feel, i got postnatal anxiety have been crying foe 11 months! my face looks like a prune! found hole in my heart whilst i was pregnant and when my baby was 4 months old a horrid "bald, middle agaed" cardiologist told me to go home and make a will !!!!!!!!!!!!! sent me over the edge, and have had anxiety ever since, i keep thinking my babies will die or we will be in a fire or floods and drown and how will i be able to protect my boys and keep their heads above water! i cry all the time worrying how i will protect my children...i know its laughable but i almost bought a boat(we live nowhere near water i may add) incase the floods come...what floods im not too sure of??? and when walking along the street i keep searching for safe places to push the buggy too incase a lorry mounts the kirb!!!! so you see you are not alone in feeling low, stay on this forum and we can all help each other out, with a boost here and a giggle there. i only just found this site 3 days ago and posted about my anxiety and fears my babies will grow up without their mammy, and the people who took the time just to say hi of offer support was overwhelming, so chin up sweetie, you are a godess, keep telling yourself, i know its hard but you have seen how many other mammys have joined your chat topic, youre not alone. stuff the diet and have a tiny bar of choc..... it has healing chemicals.... big hug going out to you. xxxxxxxx

Yes you're right, I'll try the legal option first...shame as I was just rummaging in the kitchen drawer for a suitable tool...

For some reason the legal option always makes me feel slightly smug, although in your situation I'm quite amazed at your tolerance so far! I would have drained a can of tuna into his engine by now!

What an arse!

I say park there again and if he does it again, calmly get in your car and call the police on your mobile and say you're a lone female being held in your car on XXX Road.

He won't do it 3 times.

This drives me mad. My neighbour is like this. He'll then end up wedged in himself and so he'll come and knock on me to move my car so he can get out of the mess he got himself in to.

I'd have pointed to the road tax displayed on your car and told him as long as you're paying it you'll park where you feckin well want and if he didn't move you'd be calling the police.

Then paint strip his car haha just joking on that bit.

My auntie parked outside a house 3 doors down from us on DS's first birthday, we'd just moved in. It was a fine place to park but she got a note on her windscreen telling her not to park there again. I was hideously embarressed. The people who live there have the cheek to park outside ours all the time after they did that.

Stable- Fab.

TaUP - you've just reminded me of our mad neighbors. I used to park in the road outside our house (no drive) but if I dared park an inch too close to the end of their threshold they went mad...

I mean properly spitting feathers kind of mad.. screaming at me, almost pulling me out the car!!

mad people everywhere

Can I just say what an amusing thread. From the great advice on how to get revenge to my new phrase I am going to use to insult someone 'god you are such a walnut whip cock!' I am seriously pmsl.

On a serious note, op I would have cried too and prob not been brave enough to say anything back but thought of a million great things after I had left. Hope you are ok and enjoyed peppa pig with your ds.

Now that man, he really is a walnut whip cock...

these posts have made me smile and laugh aloud, something i havent done for a while! thanks to you all for making me grin again love yodayoda xxx thanks also for pointing out that i wasnt the !walnut whip cock" xx
