I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

[UnsuspectedItem]

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!

(Obligatory Mumsnet diagram provided)

Missed a good parking thread

Suggest OP finds a handy white stick and walks into the side of the car, excellent opportunity to eavesdrop as you sit in pavement looking baffled...

(But really, Im just placemarking).

Is that why I'm getting so much condensation on my bedroom windows? Thought I had fucking mould the other day.

Is it the double glazing??

@bummymummy77

pickle officer BAHAHAHA!!!! Curse you autocorrect!

Offered them a cup of tea because I can't contained my British and also mentioned it was untaxed.

Utterly brilliant!

OP, I fucking fucking LOVE you. LOVE YOU I say.

@Motherofasurvivor

Today is Saturday bingbong...

Oh yeah it IS Saturday-not Sunday. What a tit I am. Still, must be quiet at the moment for da pleeeece.

Police are knocking on doors to find owner. They seem nice. Old man in strange Russian hat has decided this is more interesting than walking his dog and has stopped for a gawp.

I'm trying hard to watch out of - - shit-- window without being seen by police and looking like a loon.

Unfortunately I don't have a good view of the car at all and could only see if owner comes out if I actually went and stood outside. I'm embarassed enough for caring 101 without being a curtain twitcher too!

Maybe it's your LL

Oooooh what a great parking thread. Police and all. But no penguin bollard

Stick your head out, OP.

Feel shame on your own time!

Right, I'm going out on the pretence of offering biscuits.

It's Vlad!

Offering biscuits

Too bad you don't have a dog that needs walking too, op. Perhaps you can borrow a cup of sugar from the neighbour.

Please get the towing away money shot, it would make my day

Excellent thread.

I would like to also praise you for your excellent penmanship (penwomanship?) on the letter. You have very nice handwriting.

How exciting!

Wanted to joIn in to say that is a DREAM of a diagram and try the unibond 360 for the damp - I have single glazed windows (w wooden frames!) and they are so wet they literally drip (also renting) but the unibond has been great, really helped

What sort of biscuit?

A most excellent thread.

I'm really excited

My biscuits were rejected, which makes me judge them slightly as they are top notch biscuit offerings.

I'd really like a biscuit now. I think I have some monte carlos.

Excellent thread. Diagram is the best I've seen (especially as the car drawn was so sweet. Looked like PPat's van!)

What I want to happen now is this...

Driver comes back and starts threatening one of the police. They have to grapple with him and put him in a headlock and then hold him face down on the pavement and put him in handcuffs. (Pictures provided on here) One of the policeman is particularly handsome and knocks on OP's door to thank her, and tell her he is a chummy they've been looking for, for days. He accepts a cup of tea whilst his colleague takes in driver. Policeman asks OP if she'd like to go for a drink next week. OP accepts....

You'd have gotten them with HobNobs

I wouldn't eat anything marked "Digestives", but I am an uncouth resident of the US.

Sorry that your biscuits were rejected.

Ay it's because they're caramel. Dark choc digestives would've done the trick
