for goodness sake....

[Gooby]

So in the 20 mins I have before I have to get the 'liz out of the garage and go to meet my boss, what should I do?

[GKP]

Get your shirt ironed?

[4Q]

Ring them up and tell them to get their dumbass driver to move their stbox van?

no answer

[21TonyK]

Knock on a few neighbours doors and ask?

[Moospeed]

Bit late now... but see if it's alarmed by kicking it repeatedly? Someone once came back to their van to find me about to take the lock out the door with my toolkit, they seemed incapable of understanding why I was so angry at having been blocked in for "only 25 mins"

They are committing an offence by restricting exit, restricting entry is another story sadly

Btw. repeatedly kicking is also an offence but isn't the saying "two wrongs make a right?"

Wire snips. Cut the handbrake cable and push it out the way.

[RonnieP]

I do like the colour of that van

[TIPPER]

email this guy; [e-mail] <[e-mail]>
Incosiderate ****er.
Not much help now but if its an employee you have proof of inconsiderate behaviour towards potential customers.

Gooby, every time I see a post from you starting with 'for god sake' I look forward to seeing the photo of the inconsiderate who has blocked you in yet again. I dont know how you keep your cool, toe down to the park again!!

Oi! I resent that! Any car that has been found in the park after it was seen outside my garage is purely coincidence and not due to any action by me!

He he - superb!

This story has a bit of a boring end. Police found him and made him move it. Up the road from me there is a collection of flats, so it could take ages ringing on every doorbell. The cops knew the address so went and knocked on the right door. This guy, in the short time he has lived in the street has obtained the worst reputation with that pink horror. I think he has not learned to park, he just seems to stop where ever he feels like.

He did not end up in the park or put in the middle of the road. That is quite funny - the road is an emergency services cut through so it would be moved very quickly.

I have a very straight forward method of dealing with idiots parked in front of the garage, I am as spiteful and nasty as possible. It means word gets around and since I have persued this policy, I have gone from having to deal with these idiots 1-2 time per week to 1 every 6 weeks or so.

Cant you train the dog in the photo to bark when people park there?

[fatwomble]

Glad for you that it got moved, much more boring for us, I enjoy tales of how cars end up in the middle of a park with dog st bags tied to it (I didn't dream that last bit did I?)

She does, but only when Mrs Gooby comes home! Best early warning system ever!

I think you did - In this new PC pistonheads that sort of behaviour would be frowned upon. Now-a-days I wouldnt even beep at a dhead!

We never did find out how that car ended up in the park....

Incredible! I havn't been on the Elise section of PH for quite a while and the first time I do, Gooby has yet another inconsiderate tt parking in front of his garage! Some things never change. Glad it had a simple outcome this time.
