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!

Excellent. He needs to keep this up.

Hoo I timed checking for an update well Smile

Glad she's being inconvenienced for once

HappenstanceMarmite · 19/02/2015 16:15

Good work on the update Nannyplum. Can't wait for NAR to get home from work!

NotOnMyWatchOhNo · 19/02/2015 16:17

Brill eeee ant

TheDailyWail · 19/02/2015 16:18

All we need now is for NDN to leave a note for NannyPlum (with a lovely bottle of wine) to apologise for her rudeness and a promise that she will never park in other people's spaces again (wine and note for NAR too)

AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

THE END

Whoop! Well done NAR and FONAR.

Though I am sad that there is no POOSONAR.

Haggisfish · 19/02/2015 16:20

Brilliant! Chuckled aloud at the thought of her cats bum face!

Tiredmumno1 · 19/02/2015 16:24

Ha loving the update Grin serves her right

SirChenjin · 19/02/2015 16:24

I love your NAR and FONAR just a little bit more now Grin

I wonder if she's found a little bit of shit to give yet??

MetallicBeige · 19/02/2015 16:27

That would be lovely DailyWail. I feel stressed for you Nanny, hope she sees the error of her ways and calmness is restored.

TheCraicDealer · 19/02/2015 16:27

I wonder if she's found a little bit of shit to give yet??

Possibly it snuck out of her bum under pressure as she tried to heave herself over the gearstick and into the driver’s seat. Hence the hasty retreat back into her lair house.

KitKat1985 · 19/02/2015 16:28

This thread makes me so happy. I bet her face earlier looked like a slapped arse.

RandomFriend · 19/02/2015 16:28

Perhaps this is the moment to remind her exactly where her car parking space is located?

If FONAR removes his car, then she may go back to your space.

youarekiddingme · 19/02/2015 16:28

Lovely update Grin

AimlesslyPurposeful · 19/02/2015 16:31

Thanks for updating!

Well, I wonder what "I don't give a shit" NDN next move will be. Straight back into OPs parking bays would be my guess.

Ohfourfoxache · 19/02/2015 16:31

Excellent!

Mind you, from her less than civil reaction to requests to park in her own space, I fear that it could potentially kick off big style when NAR returns....

Littleturkish · 19/02/2015 16:31

Mahahahaha mug. Glad she couldn't get in.

All she had to do was be less rude and at least explain her bizarre behaviour- as it is, she has illicited no sympathy as you have no idea why she parks like that. If she'd explained, perhaps there could have been a compromise reached on spaces etc. it makes no sense!

SoupDragon · 19/02/2015 16:33

[happy]

I'm sure she does indeed give a shit now :)

SirChenjin · 19/02/2015 16:33

NAR sounds like more than a match for the NDN. He will have her.

gallicgirl · 19/02/2015 16:35

This is the gift that keeps on giving.
I wonder how stubborn NDN is?

SwedishEdith · 19/02/2015 16:35

God, this is the thread that keeps on giving Grin Can't wait for the next update.

Clutterbugsmum · 19/02/2015 16:40

Anyone else hoping that she knocks NAR door when he gets home tonight and he just says NO and shuts the door in her face.

MadeInChorley · 19/02/2015 16:42

FONAR should leave his car there until NDN provides Nannyplum and NAR with handwritten apologies promising never to park in other people's spaces ever again and perhaps a token gift to show that she's been banged to rights.

Lweji · 19/02/2015 16:42

When is NAR due home, do you think?

I hope you're not busy then and can sit by the window.
