I think I need to find Olaf!

You most definitely need Olaf! I cannot believe B & C doing this fandango almost every time.

Weenurse · 07/03/2020 03:31

Maybe you could borrow Olaf and his safety vest and set him up outside A’s house?

TeetotalKoala · 07/03/2020 08:55

Ooooh. It's Saturday! Let the weekend shenanigans commence. Also, I am gleeful that not only is B on lates this coming week, but that C and D are getting hacked off enough to really punish her. I'm hoping that they don't let us down.

Do you think that the K's attitude has encouraged them to take a stand?

mrsBtheparker · 07/03/2020 10:32

Who's Sharon Horgan?

originalcatlady · 07/03/2020 11:39

There is no space in the street. C is in X. A has visitors and is knocking on C's door. No answer. Visitors are sitting in the road, causing a bit of backlog now...

Not actually sitting in the road. In their car. They aren't quite that crazy in Alphabet Street.

C doesn't answer to anyone does she? Poor A. Getting sucked into this.

Nanasueathome · 07/03/2020 11:45

Surely though, if it’s a disabled spot then unless the visitors are disabled they have no more right to the spot than C

PunkyPirate · 07/03/2020 12:17

I have spent the last week devouring all three threads and so excited to have finally reached the end and find it’s still going.

Thanks for the entertainment @originalcatlady

It's also access to As garage though. (Although I know there's debate on the law of this.)

They had to park in the next street and then return and block the street again whilst A got into the car - which takes ages.

OP posts:
TeetotalKoala · 07/03/2020 13:24

If A went out in the car, then yes, they absolutely should have had the use of the disabled space. Not cool C. Not cool.

I think the next thread title has to be 'this is ridiculous. It can't go on like this' 😄

Gooseysgirl · 07/03/2020 13:31

I'm baffled that everyone is getting away with parking in X!

Doginahat · 07/03/2020 15:47

Gooseysgirl Yes!!

Hi @originalcatlady
The Olaf parking thread is in classics but has been closed now
The title is "It's a parking one" by @ohcaptain..
It moved like wild fire! Got to 1000 posts in about a week or less
Sorry I don't know how to do links, but hopefully you'll be able to find it if you haven't already. I think ohcaptain lives in Ireland..or else I'd suggest that you two could start up a coffee meetup Grin

SallyLovesCheese · 07/03/2020 21:34

There should be MN coach tours to sites of classic parking threads! Grin

originalcatlady · 07/03/2020 22:29

But where would you park?

SallyLovesCheese · 07/03/2020 23:53

Anywhere that annoys the crazy parking people! 😂😂

mrsBtheparker · 08/03/2020 10:56

But where would you park?

1/2, obviously. Make it an overnight visit, stay somehwere nearby in a b an d but leave the coach there.

OlaEliza · 08/03/2020 12:54

I cant wait for the new people to move in.

WhatICallMyUsername · 08/03/2020 14:57

Well I am parking in X and not moving for anyone so there Grin

originalcatlady · 08/03/2020 15:18

There's an air bnb in the next street 🤔
