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?

😉

If you’re lying and there was no street called wibbly wobbly. I will come find you. Understand?!?

if it is true. Fucking a class!!!!! Wibbly wobbly street and blubber road

you could name a whole estate off of wobbly body parts!!!

Joke. Obviously wouldn’t come find you

but the dog the size of a donkey sounds like the best! Plus gin and tonic? Do you need said friend to come and help the salacious gossip!?
we could make tea for the builders and get first hand gossip?!?!

Oh my god

wobbly bottom farm

thats it. I’m buying a house there!

Take care @JeffThePilot - Covid is officially an absolute arse.

Your diagrams make me so so happy OP. I bloody love a trundle wheel

Second car GONE

no one has been listening to Riger on Facebook have they?

this one’s alarm is going off non stop

Ooh, this reminds me of being at university and my flatmates and I sitting in the window all day watching big furniture being winched up and into a flat opposite through the window.

We cooked in shifts so could run back if something exciting happened!

oh it is real all right - look at the fucking MESS they made by renaming it.

I think Roger posted his message with 20 minutes in the full knowledge that no one would heed him but he'd still look like a good citizen.

Well played Roger. Well played.

Is there a near by MNer who can run up to the parked cars and wave while OP takes pictures?

Is it mean I can’t stop giggling at the idea of people coming back to their car and it’s just… gone 😂 Like do they leave a post it note or something behind to say where it’s gone to?!

DH has just come in and enquired about the lack of dinner preparations, have spent a happy five minutes explaining fuck off car and we are now enjoying vodka and crisps. Great start to the weekend.

*20 minutes to go.

Must proofread, dammit.

My DH has just asked me who's car is that in the photo - and I have had to explain it's some complete strangers in a Town that Cannot be Named (but has a Wobbly Bottom) and we've been talking about it for 507 posts...

Not convinced he gets it, tbh...

I've been on mumsnet for years but just lurked.

I've been sat in A&E for the last 90 minutes and this has made it bearable!

Glorious post with amazing diagrams and pics. Can't wait to get home and get some wine opened 😂

Who's = whose

Proofreading Gremlins out in force 🙄

I can’t keep up. Two men have just come to get their car. They are very kissed off that car is no longer here. Car has FUCKED OFF.

That is perfect

That last car looked posh too...that's gonna sting 🍿

I've only been on MN a couple of years and seem to have got a love for the parking threads.
This one is great and then I realize I'm in the next town 😀
Spent many a night on the hill with friends drinking when we shouldn't have been and those ravers that are talking about my town I'm now wondering how many of us know each other 😂

Love the picture of no car and two annoyed blokes 😁

Third car has FUCKED OFF

Oh Roger.

The lost and confused blokes 🤣

If only they had been able to read the notices.

Have you gone out to tell them?

OMFG.
