I'm going to be like that Rear Window guy soon!
People down my road must hate me so much DX I've only been at uni for a total of about two and a quarter years when you add up the term-time months, and this is the amount of grief I've gotten over parking:
- First, a silly man has a go at me for parking in a perfectly legal place, because he thought it was 'stolen'.
- Next, a silly man tells me I should park in a place that I'd probably get my car towed for. The same silly man. Revenge?
- Then I park with the appropriate amount of space between my car and the car behind. Only to find a note on my car a few days later rudely telling me "If you're going to park here ALL DAY, at least be considerate enough to leave space for another car to park!" - I DID, you donuts! But the cars around me changed (as they do) and THEY didn't leave space! HHFAHGHGFAGHA;G.
- I came downstairs once to find my car boot had a giant dent in it from a 4x4. Right outside my house. There's no way they wouldn't have felt it.
And now, when I parked here last Sunday, there was very little space at all along my road so I had to park up near where I got that rude note before. So, not wanting to upset those people again, I've waited until a nice big gap appears outside my house so I can move the car away from them. And outside right now is the most gaping, enormous, easy-to-park-in gap EVER! But I just ran down to move my car, and......
THE BASTARDS'VE BLOCKED MY CAR IN! Like, I literally couldn't shift it from that space if I was a racing driver genius. There's barely an inch between my car's bonnet and the car in front, and between my boot and the car behind. They did this on purpose, I know it. I don't know how I've managed to offend so many people in this place... Offending people is one of the things that I try to avoid at ALL costs. Like, I felt guilty for DAYS over each of the above incidents, even though none of them were my fault. But somehow I've managed to piss off an entire road.
What do I do if they keep my car blocked in and I need to drive home?? Like, on Friday? I can't tell which car belongs to which house! The note-leaving-people were cowards and didn't write what house they lived at, so I can't try them. And I don't want to knock on every single door down here in case one of the people are like "Oh, so YOU'RE the one with that little KA? WELL, TOUGH TITTIES, it serves you right!"
*paranoia paranoia paranoia*
