Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

[DailyMaui]

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

😉

Obj I do love a parking thread..and I don't even drive 😂
Very well done op.

Small world! I live nowhere near you Op but was there this week visiting relatives!
Great thread. 👏👏👏

Along with the picture of the car on the back of the tow truck, I think you should also put your diagram with “fuck off car” next to it on a tree.

This is brilliant

"NAY because my phone doth shine up at my face making me look like a road resurfacing obsessed ghost. "

I think I love you OP. Now, can we please have a photo of FuckOff woman when she returns with her pal, and also one of your donkey-sized dog? Thank you very much.

😂😂

Oh, hahahaha, Karma!

Fuck Off Woman will be so Fucked Off, when she comes back to find her car has in fact Fucked Off, and the only person she can be Fucked Off with, about her car Fucking Off, is herself, having Fucked Off & abandoned her car in such a position that it had to be Craned onto the back of a Tow Truck, which then promptly..... Fucked Off!

The crane lift image is a thing of beauty, along with your previous diagrams, photos & updates, I think OP, you are the Winnerly most Winner of all the parking threads on MN, EVER!!!

How doth one nominate this for Classics?

I want a pic of Huge Dog on his bed!

OP won’t be back now that the town name has been mentioned, well done!

I thought I was invisible in the dark but NAY because my phone doth shine up at my face making me look like a road resurfacing obsessed ghost

This is magnificent, OP.

Am hoping that Fuck Offs return has been recorded... or hasn't happened so I haven't missed it!

My dogs are disgusted to discover that their own bedroom was an option (it isn't, the other two bedrooms are rammed with stuff I don't want dogs on/in/near), they ask Dog Who Has His Own Room how he achieved this and does he have tips and suggestions?

This thread just made my night shift so much more interesting

Applause OP!

When I was a teenager I lived in a village that has a Little and Great version betwixt towns with an H and an N in one of the names, and a New and an Old Svnge in the other - are we talking about the H and N here? I do hope so, cos I am a born and bred hedgehog, but live a long way away now, and I am feeling nostalgic!

Haha I’m on the other side of the planet yet way too heavily invested in this thread!

Did fuck off woman return? Reaction? I feel like I need to know more about angry high viz man. Dog with his own bedroom. It’s a lot to unpack, but my god this is goooood.

But hopefully Fuck Off woman will have to pay £300 to get her car back, and if any other cars were towed off, they will have to pay it too - TurkeyRoast rubs her hands together gleefully in a pre nice scrooge way...

I’m guessing sleep did call on you before fuck off lady returned.

This is so exciting! Any further developments?

I had an awful sleep as awake worrying about things IRL and reading that fuck off woman has had her car fucked off has seriously made my day!!!!!!

Guess who fell asleep WITH the dog

I stayed awake for as long as I could but didn’t hear or see any other cars being towed or women coming back. Tbh if I’d had my car towed on a road marked with DO NOT PARK THURS AND FRI NIGHT right next to where I’d left it, I’d have slinked off onto the night too.

Ooh a parking thread and I missed it. I have so many questions. Were the rest of the cars towed? Did Fuck Off woman come back? What was in the hole? (I'm hoping for treasure).

I wish I could loiter for updates, but sadly I have to get ready for work.

Bugger, you updated while I was posting.

In a rush so haven't RTFT but bravo on the most detailed parking thread ever! Love the photos!

I am gutted to have missed the live event, but still very thrilled at the rerun!
