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!

Best thread I've read in ages (even if we didn't get to see it towed).
Thanks OP

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 16:35

BUT (and I'm being 100% serious and honest here) the street smells really strongly of gas (really!! And after PPs were talking of faking it!) which without CF, I wouldn't have been out long enough to notice so maybe between us we've avoided an explosion as I called that in.

My God. What? No!!!!!!

What about all the plans? What about Colin Filthy, the Tow Truck Man? Or Colin Firthy, the adorable millionaire?

What about Gentleman Pickle and the biscuits???

I can't believe it's ended like this. Sad

However, the costume makes it official. You are the Best MNer Ever and should be praised and worshipped accordingly.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 13/01/2018 16:36

Ahhh dammit!! Why wasn’t he towed? He is untaxed!

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 13/01/2018 16:36

Ah well, unsuspected, maybe Tow truck man will be at the party, as a knight on a white charger, and you can gallop off into the sunset (clutches at still getting fairy tale ending)

Be consoled by fact that CF will be getting a fine in the post for not taxing his CFC (cheeky fucker car)

TheSassyAssassin · 13/01/2018 16:38

No wait...the gas man is going to be the hero and save the fair OP AND her unicorn! Wink

Curtsey for Queen Unsuspecteditem of Unicorn.

onalongsabbatical · 13/01/2018 16:43

UnsuspectedItem you look divine as a unicorn.
Can we ALL marry you, please?
And have a mass mumsnet wedding?
(Passes out at the thought of bliss...)

notgivingin789 · 13/01/2018 16:44

Wow, that's very bad.

MipMipMip · 13/01/2018 16:44

Now OP, better practise your prancesize if you're going to convince in that costume.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 13/01/2018 16:52

You could have at least gone as a Penguin Bollard.

Roussette · 13/01/2018 16:54

That costume is ridiculous! And that's a compliment!

Have a fun eve OP and thanks for the larfs!

reallynearlythere · 13/01/2018 16:54

I used to push the wing mirrors in of any cars that were on the pavement so the driver was inconvenienced. However, one came off in my hand (it was an old banger) so I have never done it since! I felt so guilty even though he was at fault that I left a note under the windscreen wiper.

I hate people who park inconsiderately. Bet they also have gym memberships when they could actually get fit walking an extra two minutes to a sensible parking place.

MipMipMip · 13/01/2018 16:56

It's amazing just how many threads I've managed to squeeze that video on to. Grin
