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!

I can’t believe I’ve read 25 pages to find out it was a brilliant stationary sales pitch!

You should do a sticker set with all the fantasy characters or an MN set like CF, a parking diagram, Maui, a pen is beaker etc

MiddleClassProblem · 15/01/2018 00:48

But it is very putting as the neighbour’s door may be quite identifiable and we know which track you’re near etc. Just be careful!

I don't understand how CF got car away when it's untaxed. The police have to take the car away in those circumstances

Jeanneweany · 15/01/2018 03:14

Sorry to disappoint but you don't need to display a tax disc anymore. On the bright side the car owner is a defo twat.😈

Willow2017 · 15/01/2018 04:02

Jeanne
It takes 2 minutes to find out online if a car is taxed or not, disc or no disc. This car isnt.

nonfatnofoamlatte · 15/01/2018 04:20

There, I took the time (and it certainly wasn't a waste- this was amazing!!) to read all the threads - thank you Op for this. I'm just sorry I didn't get to see schadenfreudepersonified's Vlad and Vanka post - why was it taken down?

fiverabbits · 15/01/2018 04:59

I have a fluey type illness but for the 3rd night running I have been awake most of the night which was getting a bit boring until I came cross this thread. Just spent 2 hours reading it and loving every minute so thank you all MNer's.

PrinceofWales · 15/01/2018 07:09

I love this!!!

Also love that one of your blue travellers notebooks on Etsy is called 'are you on blue'!

MNetter through and through!!

CourtneyLoveIsMySpiritAnimal · 15/01/2018 07:54

schadenfreudepersonified's Vlad and Vanka post - why was it taken down

Probably because it was a load of racist unfunny bollocks.

jocarter67 · 15/01/2018 08:31

He/she has left their keys in the front door, maybe that’s an invitation for people to move the car if he’s/she’s inconveniencing anyone 😂😂😂😂

browneyes77 · 15/01/2018 08:47

I feel your frustration OP. We have many CF’s who park like morons where I live. I also went down the note writing route and once put a note on a car that said “Who taught you how to f*cking park? Stevie Wonder?”. I even popped the note in a plastic cover so the possibility of rain didn’t spoil the effect of the note.

I got really excited though, as soon as you mentioned that you designed stationery.

Stationery nerd right here. Other women buy shoes and handbags. I buy nice looking pens and pretty notebooks. To date, I have managed to conceal this obsession from my partner of 4 years. He’ll soon find out when we move in together though.....

Willow2017 · 15/01/2018 09:19

Could we possibly better this thread? Nope it mentioned stationary!
Stationary freak here too but have to curb my enthusiasm most of the time😀

Hope someone he knows goes on that site and shows him he is no.1 arse of the week.

ObiJuanKenobi · 15/01/2018 09:25

I'm a bit miffed that discount code CF2018 doesn't work on your site Grin

dtpitman1 · 15/01/2018 09:40

Omg! And you put up wth that? That’s just taking the mickey...
Have you had a word wth whoever it is? Is it someone doing it regularly?

UnsuspectedItem · 15/01/2018 09:55

Also love that one of your blue travellers notebooks on Etsy is called 'are you on blue'! oh I've been dying for someone to get that reference for months!!!

How very selfish we had a neighbour like that so when I walked the dog I squeezed past with an umbrella next it was the front door key then a screwdriver lastly a meat skewer hes stopped doing it "for now".Im sure the local council might be interested too.

bummypicklemummy · 15/01/2018 12:21

And now I find out you sell stickers?!!!!! Ombré checklist?! I nearly just fainted!!

Dh takes the piss out of me because I'll only buy calendars with stickers and get all weird and defensive about them.

So I now have no problem divorcing dh for you.

bummypicklemummy · 15/01/2018 12:32

Ive no gone down a very deep hole of planners.

Is it ridiculous for me to buy an Erin Condren planner when I never actually have much to do? Are there 'cleaning out chickens' and 'water vegetables' stickers? Blush

GeorgeTheHamster · 15/01/2018 13:00

OP you are brilliant.

I have read the whole thread but can I just say - I think you should log it with 101 and cancel the cheque.

Can I also suggest lunch, in case you have been around that long.
I would suggest a hamwich.

There are stickers for everything.
