Locked parking thread 4 - The End

[BlueEyesWhiteDragon]

We hope!

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon when you get a chance, do let us know what happened with the horse owner who wanted to continue to visit their horse after you bought it. Pretty please!

Who urinated in your corn flakes this morning?

LOL!!!!

Good to see the troll hunting posts being deleted. Now delete those who post them.

There is a sign up saying private land no parking

He came at his convenience and when OP is out. Why should she cater to that?

She cant leave the gate open as her insurance is invalidated

@MotherofTerriers

I don't think the CF parker thinks he's lost any dignity at all You asked him not to park there so he left a note telling you that he couldn't see another convenient spot He told you when he would come to pick it up, you said that wasn't convenient, he turned up anyway and said to your brother "why would he think there was a problem collecting it" Today, or tomorrow, or next time he wants to use the car, he will tell you when he's going to turn up again. He won't ask. If you say that time isn't convenient and tell him another time, he will tell you he can't turn up at the time you suggest and arrive when it suits him. He'll keep doing this until the time he wants to turn up happens to be when you are around. Then he's won. You are a woman and what is convenient for you is completely irrelevant to him

I think this is absolutely right. Regardless of what happens @BlueEyesWhiteDragon has won purely through the hours of amusement and entertainment she’s had.

Funny how the actual thread is supposedly completely stupid and just a load of silly mummies with nothing better to do with their time, but an article about what these time-wasting fools are blethering is going to be fascinating

There are lots of things in life and popular culture that don't interest me in the slightest. Including sizeable chunks of MN Talk. Rather than wasting my time going on forums/topics/threads where people discuss those things and telling those who are interested in them just how jolly silly they are, I simply ignore them and find things that do interest me. Maybe that's just me being weird, though....

Do bore off, you know he was told 7.30pm.

@MaMelon

I thought he was a dentist who had cheated in his exams (allegedly). Crikey - my memory is terrible

I do recall he was a genius though. Did he also lose a BMW or am I mis-remembering that too?

Yes he did! If I remember correctly they moved house and he left the BMW parked close by to the old house and he never got round to collecting it, then one day LaQueen spotted it parked on a garage forecourt for sale (I think it had a private plate?). Turned out as it had technically been abandoned, it was able to be seized and sold at auction.

I’ve been keeping DH up to date with the saga and even HE thinks he might fancy DB now!

He also points out that a lot of the games suggested are far too cerebral for the obviously “not too bright” CF so puts forward his own suggestion of Guess Who with “sorry who?” although he did like Snap with Suarez….

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll anyone who can coin "Buckaroo with Bruce Grobelaar" has to be pretty weird...but in a good way .

It's a pretty basic playground bully tactic, isn't it, to tell people that something that they enjoy is shit and they should be embarrassed to like it.

You asked him not to park there so he left a note telling you that he couldn't see another convenient spot

It's pathetic, isn't it? Imagine if somebody went into his house when he'd nipped out to the garden and started helping themselves to the contents of his fridge - and then, when challenged, started wailing "But I couldn't find the Tesco Extra that's 50 yards down the road!"

He'll keep doing this until the time he wants to turn up happens to be when you are around. Then he's won.

That probably is how his mind works - but he must be SpongeBob NoBrain if he doesn't realise that he's the one who's constantly having to think about it, waste his own time and then make the effort to keep coming over in the vain hope, and then considers it a win when he eventually does strike lucky.

I'll bet that if the engine of his precious Ranger only started up every 10th time he tried - even when he has parked it somewhere legal and sensible - he wouldn't consider it to be a 'winner's' car.

Amaterasux Tue 03-Aug-21 10:08:24 @DobbyTheHouseElk he has turned up...

He turned up hours after the '5 mins' he said he would and instead of knocking on the OP's door asking for the gate to be unlocked he sent his children through the gate and then left. Leaving The Ranger on the OP's PRIVATE PROPERTY for days.
He turned up twice in the middle of the night with his mates seemingly trying to figure out how to damage the OP's property to get The Ranger out without speaking with her.
He turned up at a time when the OP specifically said 'I WILL NOT BE THERE AT 5PM'. Then said he couldn't see why The Ranger couldn't be collected at a time the OP clearly said she WOULD NOT BE THERE.
The OP said she would be in from 7:30 but he didn't message back and hasn't text her back to say 'yes or no' that works from him.
If you park on someone's clearly marked PRIVATE PROPERTY and they tell you in no uncertain terms 'YOU CAN NOT PARK HERE' and 'THE GATE WILL BE LOCKED' then you don't wait for days, randomly turn up when you think no one will be around and then tell the land owner when you will be collecting rather than asking 'what is a mutually agreeable time for me to collect'. An apology for his shocking behaviour wouldn't go amiss either but I think that's too much for us to hope for at this point.

He should never have parked on the OP's land and if he had worked with her then this would have been resolved by now. This entire situation is 100% his fault though he will never admit that.

And if you find the thread so boring and the commenters so sad, why do you keep reading it and commenting yourself? And why on earth would you write a paper about such a sad boring group?

I have to be honest here… I’d laugh my fool head off reading that article while I picked it apart like a New York Times fact-checker.

Harsh - but condign

Can people stop filling up the threads with shite. The OP will have to create thread 5 soon after all these non-updates!

(and yes I see I am being part of the problem posting here)

[quote Amaterasux]@JellyBabiesFan Exactly. I can't believe people are actually so bored as to invest so much time in this.

It reminds me of children's tactics in primary schools and I cannot believe adults will willing act like this and then get glee from "mumsnet excitement".

It's really sad.[/quote]
And yet here you both are, thread number 3 almost filled.

Ooh! Thread 4, even!

@AtillatheHun

Theory #2 - it’s LaQueen’s husband disposing of another car (old school shout out, search classics for it? Or did all her threads get purged?)

The threads are still there, but all her posts have gone.

I remember her car story with great fondness.

"the fact she's posted that on this thread so many times actually puts the owner in very good standing for any legal case he may raise)"

This made me laugh. Are you a solicitor?

Amazing how the posters who find the thread boring/childish don't hide the threads instead they keep checking in!

I also wonder why he couldn't have picked it up & parked at X's when he went to visit him?

Not sure why people don't beleave this. You read stuff like this in the DM all the time and we all know atleast one compleat twat like this CF.

I used to work in a night club that attracted some local footballers they were generally awful people themselves but the absolute dirt bags that hung round them were somthing else. I once told a retired footballer that his mates were all wankers. He told me they weren't his mates he didnt really even know them, he came to our bar every sunday and these blokes just showed up and hung round him all night he didnt like them very much but they brought his drinks.

This guy is a misogynistic, entitled shitbag who thinks hes somthing special because he hangs round a footballer like a bed smell. He told op he wasn't free at 7.30. He's not going to put himself out for a stupid little woman like op who should have allowed him to park where the fuck he likes anyway.
Op i would put a banana in his exhaust, its shame you cant get into it to hide a kipper in the boot.

@diddl

Do you mean that he should have got X to drive him round at 7.30 to collect it? Presumably insufficient slack in the Snakes and Ladders schedule.

*@JellyBabiesFan*Exactly. I can't believe people are actually so bored as to invest so much time in this.

The reason we're interested in this thread is due to us recognising this misogynistic bullying type of man and are supporting the OP in standing her ground.

We're also having some fun with it and there's nothing wrong in either of these positions.

@diddl

I also wonder why he couldn't have picked it up & parked at X's when he went to visit him?

Am guessing because he was supposed to be at X’s not long after 5pm - and that he planned on being a few pints in and regaling everyone with his perceived wit and wisdom by 7.30pm!

Dh says you should be able to shove some prawns or a kipper up into the engine bay.
