I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

[UnsuspectedItem]

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

(Obligatory Mumsnet diagram provided)

What about Angry Man?

Didn't get a look at him. Though I'm in my mid twenties and he sounded a bit older so perhaps the age gap would cause us problems.

Still no change. Police officer looks cold. Tempted to go full Father Ted and force upon her a cup of tea.

You think you're straight, Op, but how can you know until you've tried it?
There must be a parking thread wedding - there simply must!
I know, I've gone off the rails a bit...

Perhaps take a hot water bottle out to her? And a nice blanket?

Brilliant thread OP. 13/10.

Do it. Force the tea on her. She looks cold and you're super helpful looking for an update

Oh wow - I love it when action is actually taken over cunty parkers! Well done OP, and well done for saving your neighbour's embarrassment over leaving her keys in the front door.

Really hope the car gets towed and squashed. Ha!

Age is a mere number.

The Fates and Wanker Parker have thrown you together. You can't turn your back on something like that.

Sorry about the apostrophe in "Policeperson's". Please don't let this detract from any sudden and wholly unexpected bi-sexual awakening.

Op, this is amazing. Diagram and live update, you are an MN legend.

You clearly aren’t in Yorkshire because found here we would all be standing by the car arms folded saying “Ay” at regular intervals while nodding towards said vehicle.
Someone might occasionally tut and when a new member of the car spotting collective arrived everyone would ask “reet?”
There would be quite a crowd by now and hopefully someone more eligible for OP and the Lady Pickles ( good name for a band?)

👀 🍿

GReat thread OP.

What app/software did you do your diagram on?

saturday afternoon sorted. Thanks op

I feel I need to name change to LadyPicklesfStaffordshire.

Still no progression, Pickle Officer must be around the side of the house as I cant see her and, unfortunately, short of going outside and gawping or scaling the house and ninja-ing over the roof, I can't get a better view.

Windows still open and ears out for sounds of tow truck like engine noises.

The best we can hope for is that one Lady Pickle is gay and single and falls in love with the neighbour.

But I'm still hoping Angry Man makes a good show.

Tow Truck Man could also be worth a look.

Or perhaps reinforcements will arrive and Gentleman Pickle will sweep OP off her feet and accept her biscuits

Deux Adobe Illustrator. I have a side business designing stationery so already had it open

Epic thread absolutely shameless placemark

Thanks Mummy I think it would be very funny if CF was on MN and no. plate was them being "ironic" and in a couple of hours there's a thread about them coming back to their car only to find it has disappeared!

Well, the car is stationary...

They’re spending a lot of time at it. Can’t they just tow it?

Maybe Angry man is titled, OP get in there and YOU could be Lady Pickle of Mumsnetland. You will need lots of bridesmaids and I would like to offer my services having never ever been a bridesmaid.

TOW TOW TOW TOW TOW TOW TOW!!!

OMG OP you design stationery too. 😍. I think I’ll have to join the girl-crush queue.

I think there should be a special colour for posters of OP's pedigree. Something that marks you out as a diagram expert or most likely to entertain

Yy to tow truck man. Watch him be Tom Hardy. Then I'd leave dh and ds in a second and be on a plane.

I have a special handbag for people like this. Covered in little studs and badges a d I take great care to squeeze past the car in a way that scrapes it down the full length of the car. Leaves a lovely pattern behind.
