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!

This is honestly one of the best parking threads ever.

POOSONAR - Person on other side of neighbour across road.

Happy to help!

I've got a horrible mental image of Lweji parking a car with only her lady parts now.

It's unnerving, not least because in my head the rest of her closely resembles Sienna Miller Confused

Not even close. :)
Maybe only in being skinny.

Been checking this on/off all day hoping that the NDN comes out and notices her car is blocked in.

Come on Op go out and take photos for us. We are all clearly needing it !

"I've got a horrible mental image of Lweji parking a car with only her lady parts now..."

Well - it would certainly cause raised eyebrows on one's driving test! Grin

If you are in the Scottish central belt then I'm happy to wipe the floor with your cunt of a neighbour help you to deal with the errant woman of no particular size or age OP

Pipbin · 18/02/2015 20:21

I'm a little bit confused. This woman was pissing off the op by parking in the op's space. How did she piss off NAR? Was she parking in his space when the op was parked in her own space.

RedHairDontCare · 18/02/2015 20:22

I have thumb ache from trying to get to the bottom of this thread on my phone. So worth it.

PlumpingUpPartridge · 18/02/2015 20:25

Lweji I hate you just for the skinny bit Envy

SicilianOlives · 18/02/2015 20:47

NDN was parking in OPs spaces but, when OP was parked there, she was parking in NARs spaces instead, thus pissing off both OP and NAR.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 18/02/2015 20:50

Pipbin yes she did. She also told NAR that she didn't give a shit (I think) which is when he upscaled his attitude.

AmateurSeamstress · 18/02/2015 21:06

70 no, FONAR and POOSONAR are different people. NAR and FONAR have parked either side of bitchy rude woman, but someone pointed out that, as 3 cars don't fit in 2 spaces, FONAR and NAR's cars must be encroaching on 2 other people's spaces. These 2 people need to be ok with NAR and FONAR overlapping on their spaces. One is, I think, the OP, and the other we're calling POOSONAR

POOSONAR may not even exist, but in my head NAR has cleared the overlapped parking with him/her and he/she is a Goodie.

AmateurSeamstress · 18/02/2015 21:08

Not that I'm over-invested in Nanny's parking issues. Oh no.

Lweji · 18/02/2015 21:10

I imagine that each pair of spaces are separated from other parking spaces and close to the garages. So that parking like they did maybe encrouched a bit on the garage entrance, or the road.

OP, we need at the very least a drawing!

OhTheThingsYouCanThink · 18/02/2015 21:19

I've just eaten a whole pack of mini-eggs that I really didn't need (savoury variety) whilst catching up on the last 5 pages. Please make something happen soon. A drawing would be very helpful.

TamzinGrey · 18/02/2015 21:34

No - not a drawing. We need a webcam.

SirChenjin · 18/02/2015 22:07

Amateur - I might have imagined it, but I seem to recall there is nothing on either side of the OPs 2 spaces so NAR and FONAR aren't encroaching in any way.

steppeinginto2015 · 18/02/2015 22:08

wait - hold the thread a moment -

savoury mini eggs????

chocolateshoes · 18/02/2015 22:10

We need a diagram drawn on a blackboard. Or one of those big maps with pins in marking the movement of various vehicles.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 18/02/2015 22:16

Savoury mini eggs = picnic Scotch eggs?

steppeinginto2015 · 18/02/2015 22:20

Oh - I was thinking cadburys, and then savoury and then Envy (that is boak not envy btw!)
