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

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!

Oh this is sublime. Angry man looks like Colin Firth/Mr Darcy, I’m certain. Angry Man and Unsuspecteditem, a match made in heaven.

Maybe C.F. will turn up all dishevelled and hugely apologetic. Maybe he will be jaw-droppingly gorgeous and charming, and abandoned his car to rescue an adorable puppy that had fallen in the canal. Maybe he will gaze at OP, soaking wet and clutching adorable puppy and we will get the CF parking thread wedding we deserve....

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 15:22

Can't see police. Gonna go and check the fence to the backyard is secure...

treeofhearts I need this bag! I suddenly become very bad at manoeuvring my buggy when forced to squeeze past some badly parked wanker but it never leaves a satisfactory mark.

This gets my vote.

And now we need to Stop the Tow.

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 15:25

How do I post a video?
I used my camera tripod to lean the phone over the fence and survey the crime scene...

Cheesymonster · 13/01/2018 15:25

Ooh that'd be a plot twist, CF being hot and strong jawed and deeply apologetic.

rothbury · 13/01/2018 15:26

Massively overinvested.

Please let there be a tow truck - PLEEEEZE.

LouHotel · 13/01/2018 15:26

LittleMe03 · 13/01/2018 15:28

No idea how to post a video. Please someone quickly tell OP how!!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 13/01/2018 15:28

Agree we need parking/wedding thread.
Like platypus idea...
Now also hoping for adorable, hugely apologetic CF.
Can you see if back of car full of presents for underprivileged children?
Perhaps world famous heart surgeon who got call to perform lifesaving transplant and was escorted away in an ambulance?

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 15:28

I have my viewing chair/climbing chair READY FOR ACTION should tow truck arrive.

Police have disappeared.

Maybe he is the grandson of a vulnerable neighbour.

And he's been away saving lives somewhere.

And Vulnerable Old Neighbour (VON) was being taken advantage of by CF's counterpart: Bastard Grandson.

And VON was about to sign over all her worldly goods to BG and CF had no time to lose! Had to run in and smack pen from VON's hand and then make tea for the shock?

And he's a millionaire also so he won't take her money.

Ooogetyooo · 13/01/2018 15:30

Go easy balancing on that chair.

MadMags · 13/01/2018 15:30

The chair! Grin

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 15:30

I need to leave at 4/4.30 to pick up my prescription (very much needed) so I'm hoping for a fast resolution, else I'll miss it!

Is there a maximum number of images you can post on MN a day?
No idea about posting videos.

MadMags · 13/01/2018 15:31

You'll have to leave your phone recording on the fence.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 15:33

The chair!! GrinGrinGrinBrewWineGin

We're meant to be having a no drink day but this has made me want wine. In a good way. Like celebraty.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 15:33

toobusytothink · 13/01/2018 15:34

Apparently you can only post a video through YouTube (very happy to have excuse to post and not merely placemarking ...)
