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!

Deadpool can help. He took her unicorn, it's the least he can do.

Doesn't make sense? READ the thread Smile

You'd think newcomers to the thread would realise there must be a bit more to it since it's in Classics, wouldn't you?

Haffiana · 14/01/2018 18:01

The funniest is posters who don't even have the respect to read the thread before rushing in with their opinion...

JustJayne1959 · 14/01/2018 18:03

Report it to your local PCSO the parking is illegal on several counts.

Total sympathy. We have a family living on a different road to us and their two daughters and their boyfriends moved back about 18 months ago so between them they have FIVE cars - all from the one house and they all park on our (very narrow) road and all park on the footpath up to the wall. It’s a nightmare trying to negotiate the path around and between their cars and they don’t even live on this road! Yesterday a lorry struggled to go down the road because of their cars and I was praying he’d hit one of them. Sadly it didn’t happen. This is the same family who reported us to the Council saying our dogs barking disturbed them. The only time our dogs bark is briefly when we go out and they get excited while they jump into the car - ooh all of two/three minutes at the unearthly hour of 8.30am. And don’t get me started on their damn cats who come through the hedge and crap all over our garden........

Can I be the first to say cancel the cheque?

Have we hit full Bingo on this thread yet?

Oh Jayne

Done the right thing. Keep taking pictures every time this happens just to prove to police this isn't a one off. Police may take a few days to turn up, I know where I live they phone and make an appointment to make sure you are available for chat. Full marks on the diagram. You should be an architect if you are not one already. YANBU definitely.

MadMags · 14/01/2018 18:10

You've done it, OP. You've hit the motherload! Cancel the cheque!

InsomniacAnonymous · 14/01/2018 18:13

Talk about the thread that keeps on giving! A classic indeed. Grin

West Midlands police deal with CF for you

Off,topic - but I see I am allowed 30 pictures a day. Been on mums net since 2013 (I think). Sadly have no unicorn 🦄 pictures to post

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 14/01/2018 18:43

OP I want your life.

MrsMozart · 14/01/2018 18:53

The image of you OP in WHWhiffs in large tutu and sparkles has done for me - I cannot laugh and breath >

AvocadoLovingMamaOfOne · 14/01/2018 18:56

This thread was everything I’ve ever wanted in a MN post 😍

KateGrey · 14/01/2018 19:01

OP can I be your friend please? You sound hilarious and you meet up to discuss stationary and you post about parking! You’re my idol!

InsomniacAnonymous · 14/01/2018 19:04

I love this thread for so many things, but I think my favourite is 'pickle officer'.

AnnieAnoniMouse · 14/01/2018 19:07

...OMG I want your Mini Meet Friends & I want to have spent my Saturday night in a Unicorn outfit &/or glittery Tutu. Shame the Officers weren’t gorgeous hunks, but hey, you can’t have everything!

WoofWoofMooWoof · 14/01/2018 19:12

Just thought I'd join in the fun Wink

Deadpool wouldn’t have been a proper Deadpool if he hadn’t stolen the unicorn...

OP, I’m straight, but I could consider turning for you based entirely on this thread.

Utterly awesome.

SequinsOnEverything · 14/01/2018 19:26

I loved this thread yesterday afternoon and with the updates I think it's the best thread ever!

Did deadpool wear the unicorn? Seems like something deadpool woukd do.

Robyrollover · 14/01/2018 19:29

OP doesn't need deadpool.

She needs to become a lesbian and then she will be spoilt for choice Grin
