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!

unicorn in camouflage rocks!

Better than OP's two legged attempt. This one's got four legs and, now, she only has to persuade Mr Tow Truck to come to the party as her back end...

(Hmmm...You have to be quite careful how you word things like this).

tow truck won't be the end of it though. You need to keep watch for CF to come back and find the car gone. Can you get your mum to pick up CCTV along with prescription? Otherwise you will have to cancel the party...

Just to add my voice in saying this thread is remarkable and the best I've ever read on Mumsnet. When I thought it couldn't get better, Colin Firth The Heart Surgeon as the CF raised the bar, and now we have unicorns. This is a memorable day indeed.

I’m so impressed your Pickle Officers came round, the police here don’t even bother to ticket the abandoned cars that were parked on the pavement, encompassing double yellows OUTSIDE THE POLICE STATION! Maybe I need to offer them biscuits or something, dressed as a fantasy figure.........

AnoiaUnstickMyDrawers · 13/01/2018 16:31

Nonono!

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 16:31

I heard a large car being started and dashed outside in time to see CF pulling off around the corner Sad.

No tow truck.

gallicgirl · 13/01/2018 16:32

Oh no!!! How disappointing.Let's hope he at least gets fined for the lack of tax.

holyshitdude · 13/01/2018 16:32

The bastard. The fucking bastard!

pickleofficer · 13/01/2018 16:32

raviolidreaming · 13/01/2018 16:32

This isn't how it was meant to end.

gallicgirl · 13/01/2018 16:32

*let's hope.

SideOrderofSprouts · 13/01/2018 16:33

BlooBagoo · 13/01/2018 16:33

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 16:33

Nooooooo!! Sob!
In retrospect we should have urged you to lie in front of the car in your unicorn costume. What were we thinking???

InsomniacAnonymous · 13/01/2018 16:33

Shock Sad Angry

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 13/01/2018 16:33

I was hoping it got towed and CF came back thinking the car was nicked, only find out it was towed.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/01/2018 16:34

but on the other hand you do not know whetehr he got a bolloclking at his home address.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 13/01/2018 16:34

Even the unicorn looks sad.

tonysopranostherapist · 13/01/2018 16:35

The parting gift has been the absolute icing on the cake.

Bravo, op, bravo.
