Inconsiderate Bastard Parking

Desmo · 20-05-2008, 10:43

Things like this really piss me off. Our street isn't always the best for parking but the residents know where we all parks so we tend to stick to our own spaces.

So, last night some bint in a Mini pulls up outside our house. She parks just between ours and our neighbour's drive. I think she's popping in next door so think nothing of it. Next thing I know she's left the car and walked off around the corner. I'm 99% sure I know what house she's gone to but thought I'd leave it as she surely isn't staying long.

Come down this morning and the car is still parked outside

Was going to pop a note on the window but our neighbour, Ray, beat us to it. Not sure what was on the note but I'll ask him tonight. The pics above don't look so bad as the cars from across the street have moved. But if they were still there, as they were last night, it would have been a tough job to get the angle to get out. I could have done it, but it shouldn't have to be that hard.

The thing is she could have parked outside the house she was visiting. Why not inconvenience their neighbours rather than us? Why not park 200 yards down the road where there are plenty or spare parking places? Lazy ****ing bint.

Slash the tyres

That sort of thing really pisses me off too. I got home last night and had a car parked part on the pavement outside my house but forward enough that it was blocking off a bit of my driveway. My driveway is horrible at the best of times (narrow with a wall to the left, house to the right and with a steepish downward camber) but when people can't be arsed to park properly it makes is sodding awkward to get my car onto it.

As I was picking up the post this morning the guy who owned the car appeared and was somewhat embarrased when I asked him to be a little more considerate in future. His missus on the other hand saw nothing wrong with how their car was parked (seems it was her that parked it) and wasn't impressed when I asked her if she had her eyes closed when she parked it.

Where is the BMW?!

You should have got your neighbours out and bounced the car down the road.

I hate that sort of thing. We only have street parking but with a college up the road from us, we have loads of students and even staff (despite the fact they have permits to use the college car park) parking outside our house or making it much harder for us to park. Not helped by a combination of my mum having bad shoulder and neck problems and no power steering.
There's a bit up the road that's just a grassy area so they could park next to that, but of course that'd take slightly more thought than just parking in front of someone's house.

Then you've got access to release the handbrake and push the car out of the way.

On the other hand, do you have a dropped kerb outside your drive? Hard to tell from the picture. If there's no dropped kerb then there's nothing to stop anyone parking across the drive.

BM was parked over the road last night (pics were from this morning). Sinead left the front of our house empty so a friend who was popping over last night had somewhere to park. Obviously he now had to park further down to the road when he turned up.

True, but we're talking about inconsiderate rather than illegal parking. Having a dropped kerb wouldn't make it any less inconsiderate.

Nope, no dropped curb on the road. As you say, not really illegal but still a pain in the arse. Guess there's nothing to stop me doing it to the house she went to either
