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)

Neighbour (whose house it's outside) just come back from shop and chatting to police.
Just heard police say they "are doing checks on it now and waiting to hear back".
No real update at present, other than its looking increasingly like owner is AWOL.

Snotgobbler But I want to know everything

(Plus this thread is amusing me as I have to sit with my leg up with a hamstring injury and this is stopping me getting bored)

You should go have a cuppa at your neighbour! Good photo opportunity.

Note that view from OP's window shows plenty of space to park

Any shops or businesses nearby where it could be owned by a worker there?

Can't decide if I want CF to show up now while police are there or later if it's been towed away and they have no idea where their car is.

It's a really weird place to abandon your car.

Like, why specifically on the corner?

Perhaps it's a scorned lover looking to get the owner in trouble!

I second going to your neighbour's for a cuppa! Take your phone!

OP
He's AWOL for now. See my update with what's gonna happen... to sum up... fracas, head lock, shouting, action, fight, handcuffs etc etc

Followed by handsome policeman scenario

pickle Police Officer now stood playing with phone. Would LOVE her to be checking Mum's net!

@Roussette ((Hugs))

Try & get a picture of the tow-truck - or even better, a big claw-grabber thing.

You know you must

But we know one thing though about the CF.... they are on MN! And they know they are being very unreasonable by parking there! Their no. plate says it all.... YB56 VUO

Best Parking thread ever!

Please let there be a tow truck coming.

(Needless photo update)

This is my favourite Mumsnet thread ever.

😮😮😮

She’s probably busy posting on AIBU about how she wants to be investigating murders and instead she has to deal with parking issues!

I’m praying so hard that a tow truck is en route.

Your thread is marvellous. Hope you realise we now all require you to park (pardon the pun) you work, whatever commitment you have at 4 ish and provide drip feed until the car is removed / there is a fight / someone gets arrested

Hurrah!

The very best of munsnet

If Lady Pickle posts on the thread, I'll pass out.

Wow what a thread

OK, neighbour is on watch now and will also try to video any action.

We lead small lives...

Is middle aged man marryable?

I may find it hard to explain to dh (and ds) why I'm going to the UK alone and police (pickle) officer clearly not marriage material as he's turned down posh biscuits.

What a fabulous thread! Well done OP, on all counts!

But she'll have to send you the videos so you can post them here, she knows that right?
