Bit annoyed

Bit annoyed, just got home to find the following considerate golf driver has decided to block my garage... :mad:

So Mr Golf, a big thank you from me, my poor car has to spend the night out in the cold. I'm just lucky my car is on the outside and I don't need to get it out of the garage. :mad:

Suggestions??

park in front of it, or get it towed

Crizzy · 15 Jan 2010 at 00:34

I'd love to park in front of it but that would block access to the other residents. Who would tow it?

Smash a window and let the handbrake off.

Trolly jack.

someone with a lorry

if you've got 5 minutes, let the air out of a tyre or 2.
no need to puncture it, you don't want to be a ****

Haha yeah, but thing is, even if I had a trolly jack it would be in the garage!

I work shift work and I never park my car in front of my garage, always inside. I think that some **** has just assumed that as there is never a car there it is ok to park there.

I'm going to be terribly British and just leave a note I think.

I find dragging a key across all the body panels gives the most satisfaction

"Dear owner,

This garage is in use 24/7, please be a bit more considerate of others next time. If you would like to call me on 07********* we can discuss your parking."

Not sure if I should include my mobile number in case I get some nut job though.

mjt · 15 Jan 2010 at 00:49

don't leave your number
just tell them that the car will be removed next time. or clamped.

Crizzy · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:00

OK

"Dear owner,

This garage is is use 24/7, please be a bit more considerate of others next time.

Besides the fact that your parking is inconsiderate you have also parked in contravention with the Highway Code Point 243.

Continuance of parking here will cause me to report your actions which could result in your car being clamped or removed.

Thank you."

mjt · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:02

too long and polite

"this garage is in use 24/7
(please) do not park here again as your car will be clamped or removed"

Crizzy · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:06

Yeah I just realised that after reading it back :rolleyes:

Adjustments made. Could be an honest mistake, but at least they will know for next time.

mjt · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:06

don't forget to attach said note to a brick

Sone · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:09

why put a threat (albeit mild) at the end, just gets people backs up. I would just put garage is in use can you please park somewhere else etc.

Crizzy · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:11

Yeah I just put "Please do not park in front of my garage, in use 24/7, thank you"

mjt · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:12

it'll be all soggy in the morning

Crizzy · 15 Jan 2010 at 01:20

Oh well sod it it's done now

Edit:

Just wanted a bit of a moan really, cheers all

Well you are from boro it's expected

BigglesPiP · 15 Jan 2010 at 02:47

Pfft, note leaving pussys. The owner will just ignore the note. You need to do something much much more fun.
