It’s a parking one!

[OhCaptain]

Get on fine with house next door. Kids play etc.

About a year ago, her sister started coming to visit every single day. Weekends too. Fine. None of my business.

So we both have double drives and both have two cars. DH also has a motorbike but there’s space to keep it on our drive.

I work from home so I’m out to drop the dc to school then pretty much back for the whole morning. DH is gone in his car from maybe 7am. Motorbike stays on drive until weekends really.

So next door’s sister has a big 7-seater. But she’s taken to partially blocking our drive with it so next door’s car can get in and out.

So she parks up in the morning, partially blocks my drive. And then sometimes they’ll head out in next door’s car and my drive will be blocked.

I can (with ball-achey manoeuvring) get my car on. But if anyone was to visit, or DH was to come home, they couldn’t park on the drive. And they can’t park in front of my house without then blocking other next door’s.

It gives me the fucking rage! It’s so inconsiderate! I’ve said it to next door’s and her answer has been to knock in if I ever need her to move.

DH is so laid back he’s horizontal so he doesn’t see it as a big deal. But it’s just so selfish and irritating.

I’ve come back and parked up right behind her, as in touching the bumper, so I haven’t blocked other next door’s.

WIBU to roll the motorbike out and block her car?? If I put it sideways it won’t block the drive I don’t think.

I hope I’m explaining properly. I need to try to figure out how to post a diagram!

We need to all get there and stand where CF normally parks. I'll do the interpretive dance and twerking, well I can't twerk properly so I'll just stick with the dance.

Plural of penis is penises or penes

Oh @Cherrysoup good luck in your interview!

Sadly Garda Olaf’s sign only says STOP on one side and NO PARKING on the other.

I wasted all my crafting ability on the cucumber penis

A trailer of pig shite would be very welcome indeed only the rest of us would have to smell it, too.

I’m gleefully staring out the front window, cucumber penis thrust proudly in the air ready to launch at PSP but he hasn’t made an appearance and my arm is getting tired.

All of the men in my life have been a disappointment today. Except Olaf.

I could possibly loan a little filthy pony for a Mounted Guarda Olaf? If the Little Tikes car doesn't come off. He needs jetwashing to look like a respectable Police Pony (its been a looonnnggg winter) but would happily walk up and down the road with an Officer Olaf in exchange for the odd bum scratch and a real carrot. Am 83% sure he wouldn't be stupid or greedy enough to eat Olafs nose, but just keep an eye on him.

He's got his own hi vis gear as well.

This thread has cheered me up SO MUCH.

Bravo OP!

What a beautifully Irish final conversation OP, well handled 😂

You’re amazing op!

Very entertaining....not sure how nice your NDN is that she went off in her car after you asked her sister to move.

@Frouby I kind of want the pony anyway.

I did contemplate seeing if I could tie Garda Olaf to a bike but he kept falling off, the bastard.

@billy1966 she has actually surprised me today. That was such a petty thing to do and she’s never been a twat before.

I keep accidentally reading PSP as Public Service Penis instead of Problem Solving Penis. I'll get my coat... Excellent work, though, @OhCaptain, I salute you! and give Bull the finger

I think you should find out where The Bull lives and go block HER drive!!

I’d love to leave my car outside her house with Garda Olaf in the driver seat!

This has made my evening! Very excited to hear tomorrow’s update.

This is great. I rarely follow a parking post over mutiple days but for this I'll make an exception.
Placemark!

😂😂 this has been amazing

Well this is amazing!! Fucking hilarious.
We are moving to connaught next summer... I'll keep an eye out for garda olaf OP! You and I should be friends. I get serious rage at next door for parking one of their million cars in front of our house over handing our drop curb! I'll go to war with you! (Not against you though. You're a savage! 😂)

I cannot stop laughing ... OP can you do a daily thread? About anything at all? You are HILARIOUS

Surely if she was that concerned about her bull calf she’d have simply dismantled Fort Knox? (Or should that be Fort Box?)

Could you tie Garda Olaf to The Bike? Just for added effect?!

I love this. Absolutely love it. And DH clearly knows you’re well able and therefore has decided he’s better off out of the lot of it.

What utter gobshites. And the sister is some weapon.

Good luck tomorrow morning! Can’t wait for the update.

I'm very disappointed that Mr 1950s from next door didn't come round to tell your DH to control his wife.

This is the best fucking thread EVER. I actually can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow

@OhCaptain this thread has made me rise from a pit of self pity (I'm ill) to facetime DP to ensure that he would be on board should I ever require his Fort building skills. For the record I'm not entirely sure how good his Fort building skills would be, however it is important to know he would be there attempting to recreate Fort Box with me.

He insists he is, which was lucky for him as he definitely doesn't have a PSP and would likely leave any arguing problem solving to me

If PSP turns up, tell him to use his magic problem-solver to keep his own womenfolk in order.
