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)

Leaves placemark parked untidily on the pavemark obstructing the T-junction>

Hmm. I still want CF to be The One! Maybe he is one of those endearing eccentric millionaire types like in a Jilly Cooper novel and he didn't realise that this particular car was untaxed when he drove off this morning? Maybe he was mad with grief as his bitch girlfriend has been treating him badly and went off with his best friend. If course once he sees the OP his grief and madness will evaporate and he will be restored to an upstanding gent again

Settling in
Though I sadly think it will just get towed and that will be the end of that

Ooogetyooo that's a good point - could you ring 101 back Unsuspected to ask for an update...you're concerned it's going to get dark and then pedestrians are more at risk we want a tow truck photo on the thread ?

My Mum (and registered GP) is about 20 mins away so she's limited in her involvement unfortunately.

Neighbour doesn't have a better view so no need for tea.

Im meant to be going to a Fancy Dress party tonight and really should get ready but think I'll be even more conspicuous in my party outfit if I need to film on the sly.

You are not kidding me
I totally agree with you on that.
I have the daily rage when I get to work every morning and discover thousands of the things cluttering up my car park.

Sadly it's partly my fault as I make the damn things. hangs head in shame knowing they all come with parking sensors but sadly no ACFS (Anti-Cheeky Fucker System) option is available

I went shopping and when I came back I had four lovely extra pages to read. I do so hope they're going to drag the car away!

But I think we could do without the worry of being a rebound from bitchGF!

It's already too complicated.

If we can find a good enough reason for the lapsed tax, I'm willing to allow CF back into the ring

No, the CF parker can't be potential love interest.
Crappy parking makes my ovaries shrivel

Brainwave. You could always borrow a police outfit for tonight? Will save time as you need to be here updating us

But if we have a reason Breakfast?

Op dressed as what exactly???

I'm in two minds about CF being allowed back also. Squillions of money will just not cut it with his parking. unless he looks like Hugh Grant

ooh after a totally shit morning I am loving reading this thread!

Shamless placemarking

Place marking

Heathen pickle officer, those biscuits are awesome!

☕🍷 at the ready

I think op should go dressed as a police officer so she can blend in around the CF's car while casually holding phone.

This has cheered up a dull Saturday no end! You're fab OP

Ooogetyooo

You do know, OP, you've set the bar for diagrams way too high now?

It's getting dark here. It must be darker in Staffordshire, because it's further north.

I am getting concerned that OP won't get a good view of the denouement because of low light levels. Is it too late to ring a hire place and get them to deliver some of those really bright lights that builders use? Or kidnap a film crew and force them to lie in wait for the arrival of the tow truck and return of CF?

Fucking unicorns. I remember when it wasn't cool to like them...
