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!

West Midlands police deal with CF for you

No they do not, given how people park on the cul-de-sac my childrens school is on.

It has even been in the papers, and then the fire brigade complained, as they had attended to do a chat at the school then were trying to leave it was impossible, due to cars insisting on driving up while people are driving down, no where to pull in as cars park on both sides of the road, half on the pavements.

They do nothing.

I'm glad that the CF is now no.1 worst driver on that site, but sorry that he's oblivious to it. I hope the pickle officers did something after bothering to come out yesterday. I was disappointed that the CF was just able to drive off with no consequences.

ColourfulOrangex · 14/01/2018 21:37

What happened?

LittleMe03 · 14/01/2018 21:55

OMG has anybody looked on that site at the number 1 BEST drivers comments Grin

Artistforlife · 14/01/2018 22:04

Great diagram .. all I know is if a fire engine is blocked by “inconsiderate parking” etc ....

TheSassyAssassin · 14/01/2018 22:06

LittleMe I wish I hadn't...what a delight! And he's apparently the best driver for many months running Shock What the hell is that site?

MouseLove · 14/01/2018 22:29

I read the whole thread. Loved it. But my takeout was. You're a planner and I have to know... what planner do you have? 😂
I'm a happy planner girl. Lol

Aridane · 14/01/2018 22:31

Ha ha -;The Inbetweeners

Aridane · 14/01/2018 22:34

WTF is that site??

DivisionBelle · 14/01/2018 22:43

The site is the re-launched ‘park like a cunt’ site.

The use of that graphic totally gives the lie to the fact that the word is just used as a word and not misogynistically.

I feel like posting PARKED LIKE A PRICK on the site but am nervous of it linking to my Facebook page.

UnsuspectedItem · 14/01/2018 22:49

MouseLove !!!! You're a Planner Girl?! Have you heard of The Chelsea Paper Company? That's me!!
I'm a TN girl but I have an Erin Condren and a Filofax too.

I bloody love this thread! That is all. Grin

How do you know it’s a he?

mytoesaregettingfatter · 14/01/2018 23:23

Op it's v v identifying if that's your company via your Facebook page. Why won't my messages post????

UnsuspectedItem · 15/01/2018 00:19

ObiJuanKenobi oh my god, seriously?! How weird is that??

mytoesaregettingfatter True but the downside of being a business owner is I'm very identifiable online because I legally have to link my name to my company etc. I have a business address so it's not linked to any personal details such as residential address or phone number.
