I live in a building of 6 maisonettes. Round the back are 6 parking spaces, each one allocated to one of the 6 maisonettes. With me so far? It's not difficult!
I came home last night to find that someone who lives on my street, but not in my building, had parked a whacking big trailer on my space and overhanging my neighbour's space. They had then parked a rusty old Transit in another space. The only place for me to park my car was next to this badly-parked rusty heap, but if I put it all the way in the space the guy wouldn't have been able to get to his drivers' door. Despite his parking a trailer in my space, I didn't fancy getting woken up by my doorbell and an irate to**er so left it hanging out the 5 or 6 feet required to let him in.
Can you imagine my surprise when this morning I found a very snotty (and badly written) note from the van owner, carefully placed in a polythene bag, telling me I don't know how to park and that I am selfish.
I can't wait to get home, I'm going to love this! There is no better argument than the one where you are absolutely 100% right, know you are, and there is no way that you are at all in the wrong! I mean, "Well, I would have parked in my space but you had filled that and the space next to it with your trailer. I would have parked fully in that space but your van was too wide and you wouldn't have been able to get in. Besides, you don't even have any right to park here in the first place.". What can he say to that? It's like frickin' heroine, man!
By the way, anyone know where I can buy a wheel clamp cheaply?
