Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

We live in a housing estate and each house or flat has one or two spaces allocated to them. Most of the spaces are directly outside our houses except a few that are round the side that have garages. The spaces aren't numbered but everyone seems to know who's is whose. There's a new neighbour that has moved in next door to me (a corner house) and has a garage parking space round the back of her house, however she uses both my spaces as she parks in the middle of them. It's quite annoying when there's nowhere else to park as you have to park further down the road.

I went over today and introduced myself and poilitley told her the spaces were mine and hers was round the back but she was welcome to use our other space when we don't have guests but could she park to one side so I can fit my car next to hers. She looked at me with a blank expression, said no and shut the door on me! What do I do now!? I just stood there for a moment open mouthed and then went home.

Now I'm not sure if she has mobility problems as she's not exactly nimble anymore (about 65) but I am shocked at her one word reply!

takeitonthegin · 17/02/2015 20:44

We need a whip round for NAR & friend of NAR to cover costs of cabs/buses etc for the next few days.

Best. Update. Ever Grin

I'm worrid this on my estate! Grin

OP fair play I would have blown a gasket ir two by now. I get high blood pressure when someone parks outside our house OR when a number of neighbours park on street as it's supposed to be off street parking.

Grrrrrrr. go OP go NAR - wishes he lived opposite me!

Takeotonthegin - I'll shove a fiver in the kitty to get NAR and FONAR a taxi if they PROMISE to leave their cars there blocking the nutter neighbour. Grin

MadeInChorley · 17/02/2015 21:01

Is this classifiable as a Mumsnet Classic yet?

chocolateshoes · 17/02/2015 21:01

Another shameless lurker. Enjoying with a glass of white & a square of Millionaires shortbread!

GoringBit · 17/02/2015 21:07

Help... what's NAR? I tried Wikipedia, which says it found relate to companies, dwarves, places or politics. Confused

Whatever it stands for, NAR is a legend in the making.

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 17/02/2015 21:09

kato. I hate you. I properly hate you. I'm going to name you on the mners I hate list.

Fascinating, proper bunfight, 200fucking8 and no update.

I want to do terrible things to you. And not the good kind.

KitKat1985 · 17/02/2015 21:13

So OP are both NAR and NAR's friends car still there? I love NAR!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 17/02/2015 21:13

Even if NAR has to move he can leave FONAR's car there because NAR is on her passenger side and she cant scoot across the seat.

So potentially................................she could be there a while Wink

fairgame · 17/02/2015 21:16

I'm worrid this on my estate!

If it is on your estate then get out there and do your duty. Block rude lady in at the back at well!
