Aibu over lady using my parking spaces.

Nannyplum2015 · 14/02/2015 18:58

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!

NAR and FONAR are parking legends!

PaulaJane37 · 17/02/2015 22:26

I LOVE your NAR!! Wish he lived beside me and could deal with the alcoholic prossie two doors down who's made my 11 yo scared to walk past the bitch's house!!!!

Every time I come back to this thread there's at least another four pages. Grin

Goodpresentideaplease · 17/02/2015 22:27

Sorry can't help but place mark.

TheyLearnedFromBrian · 17/02/2015 22:29

Let's hope there's AFONAR who's loaned his car to NAR for him to get to work tomorrow Grin

CuttingOutTheCrap · 17/02/2015 22:32

Loving this, nar is legend!

DakotaFanny · 17/02/2015 22:41

Anyone for a cuppa?? hello again

JKSLtd · 17/02/2015 22:46

Go NAR & friend GrinGrin

teeththief · 17/02/2015 22:46

NAR and his friend must be also illegally parked (3 cars dont fit in 2 spaces so they must be parked over other residents spaces?) so they need to be careful. If she's reported them for blocking her in then they may be in trouble too.

place marking!

AcrossthePond55 · 17/02/2015 22:50

Well, since it's just mid-afternoon here but night time there, all of you on GMT can rest now. I shall park myself on the bench and shamelessly placemark wait.

SwedishEdith · 17/02/2015 22:51

Isn't NAR in his own spaces? Thought that was the issue. Don't care about the legalities now, just loving the drama has crush on NAR

AmateurSeamstress · 17/02/2015 22:55

But teeththief isn't OP on one side, and she is v much in favour! I'm going to imagine he's cleared it with the person on his other side (POOSONAR?) until proven otherwise.

Definitely don't park in her space. That's what she wants.

RagamuffinAndFidget · 17/02/2015 22:57

OP, can you drive NAR to work in the morning so he can leave his car exactly where it is? NDN won't be able to move her car to get it in either of your spaces so you're safe to drive tomorrow, surely?

trixymalixy · 17/02/2015 23:06

I love a good parking thread!!

iamamug · 17/02/2015 23:12

Classic, place marking. Sorry

HappenstanceMarmite · 17/02/2015 23:15

I genuinely would love to hear this woman's take on all of this. I mean...WTF can be going on in her head that can have her truly believe she is in the right?!

Jbck · 17/02/2015 23:27

Do you think NDN is posting on Entitledcowsnet about nasty NAR and FONAR and getting lots of YANBUs?

NAR is my hero. I may even relay story to DH which I never do on MN.

TheCraicDealer · 17/02/2015 23:35

I love how this selfish bint has bonded two neighbours (who had never previous talked) together over her cunty behaviour. No wonder she has no visitors.

Maybe MN could invite NAR in for a webchat? Much more interesting than all these authors and politicians. Think of all the other situations NAR could sort out. I for one am very interested to hear his thoughts on the situation in the Middle East.

PulpsNotFiction · 17/02/2015 23:36

Ooh! Excellent! Well done NAR until he has to go to work in the morning

RedSoloCup · 17/02/2015 23:44

What is wrong with people, silly lady casually marking place.....

Allstoppedup · 17/02/2015 23:47

Sorry, shamelessly place marking! Good luck with your Parking Dragon OP!

Staywithme · 17/02/2015 23:53

(POOSONAR?) Grin

andsmile · 17/02/2015 23:58

Does NAR wear faded stonewash denim -strong thighs and buttocks are obvious. dark cropped hair. thats about all I can muster.

Pipbin · 17/02/2015 23:58

So are we all off to OP's house tomorrow to run shifts of net twitching and posting on mn?
