I have just faxed a very strongly worded letter to MD of the brewery owning a pub opposite me. We constantly get numpties parking opposite our drive making it nigh on impossible to get our cars out - and forget the Tuscan with its QE2 turning circle! The brewery promised to sort the problem out by putting signs up - 12 weeks ago!!!!!! And fcuk all has happened since then.

I just went to use my car to find it blocked in by the landlady's ('lady'?) daughter's car FFS! Some people just don't get it do they. I am so angry I want to go to the scrotomarket to buy a base ball bat and modify her Clio, stupid b!tvh. Angry angry angry!!!

I need soothing down but it is so hard. I understand completely why people get roadrage and should probably not drive at the moment.

I've told them to sort the problem now or the lawyers will be getting involved. Sh!t rolls down hill so I hope the MD gets the sh!t rolling asap. Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Some one calm me down, PLEASE.

In a hundred years time - who will care ?

Go and look at stars and the moon - consider the distances and the miracle of vision, the vastness of space the motion of the planets - and take deep breaths....

Hope this helps


Then go and get a baseball bat and go caveman on her numpty ass

Not sure if it will calm you down, but I have just heard this and it raised a smile, which might help!

Two biscuits are chatting on their mobile phones, when one suddenly gets dunked in a cup of tea. The other one says : "Sorry, you're breaking up."

You did the right thing going to the top man.. no point talking to the monkey..

I generally make that my first port of call.

Obviously you'd not want to comment here on any "taking the law into one's own hands" type ideas you might be having...

far more entertaining is to let down two of her tyres

She can only change the one and will have to take one wheel to the garage to fill it with air first.

You can sit and laugh your ass off.

Of course it'll be even funnier if she's your typical dozy bint cos you can bet money she'll drive about 100 yards down the road before she notices. Thus she won't be stuck on you drive path with two flat tyres.

Yes its evil but also strangely satisfying.

I do have beer in my garage - but it is really intended for Xmas. If I was on better terms with the pub - I'd go in there for a pint and a fight.

I would not wish to encourage any 'taking the law into your own hands' scenarios - but it anyone does have any ideas - then hearing about them may just calm me down, but I'm still shaking with rage.

Are they really that unreasonable, that they won't move a car that's obstructing your path, are they just stupid, or are you just fed up of asking

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
[/scouse]

At least they aren't leaving their cars on your property whilst blocking you in like that poor bloke with that people mover thing.

Still. Don't get mad. Get even. You could call environmental health twice a week from now on... and a report to the Revenue about staff working there. (Cash jobs - no-one is ever straight about those). etc. etc.

Even if you do none of these things the delicious malicious pleasure in thinking them up should calm you down a treat.

I'd love to do the tyre gag - but they would probably guess its me because there's 'history'. They could also do the same to me. It needs to look like an accident...........but I'm not going to do anything like that - too much evidence on here to incriminate myself. Any more ideas though?

Does this double posting indicate that CarZee (moderator) doesn't know how to post, or that hes trying to get his post numbers up in his competition with Ted?

We had a similar thing happen, which never really mattered until I had the garageextended to hold the Beast. Then it mattered big time.

First came the noticies left on their windscreens, then we got our friendly builder to get a roll of yellow line and burnt it into the tarmac. Had a huge effect. Most of the time, people just park beyond the line now, with the occasional person parking on a little bit of the line, well away from my access.

Or you could leave a note saying "i'll follow you home and dump 2 scrap cars outside your house if you park here again". If you make it sound like you've lost the plot, it can only help...

Go any buy a £50 s hitter and use it to block people in when they park across your drive. Make sure it's a volvo or something so they can't move it.

Probably won't help the situation, but it'll make you smile.

They're just small brained. They know that I hate getting blocked in by customers. So what do they do? Block me in themselves - aaaaaaargggggghhhhhh!

We are not talking anymore - only through the brewery. I've done the Environmental Health bit already because their bin wagon used to come at 5.45am FFS. At first they said that could not be changed - so EH were invited to sort it and sort it they did. Now comes at 5.00PM instead - much more reasonable. This lot are just plain stupid though - they fob me off with excuses. The brewery even told me, well we've got the Biffa wagon sorted out now. Yeah! Right! Because I persisted and called in Environmental Health! Bunch of w@nkers.

Now that's a good idea. I'm sure its illegal but no-one apart from the numpties are likely to mind...practical, harms no-one. Excellent.

Forgot to mention, you can speak to the council about puting in some double yellows. You say they're parking opposite, it's a really narrow road then. Can you not change your entrance so you can get out? I know you should be able to get out whatever you drive etc, but when we're living in a world so chock full of stupidity and lack of consideration, sometimes it's just easier to attack the symptom not the problem

Edited to say, opps we've done that then

I fg hate small minded people, so they genuinely don't give a flying fk that they've annoyed you ?

Sorry not really helping to calm you down now am I...

Great idea but............the bloody beer lorry has turned into a tarmac ripping articulated lorry. Every week it comes along puching its trailer up hill, wheel spinning and gradually making the road disappear. Another reason why I an so mad. They say 'its not practical to use a smaller vehicle on the delivery route'. Its obviously alright to continue to rip up the road thought then is it? B@astards.]

Luca, you'll know what I mean about the Tuscan turning circle - nightmare. I'd love to burn a roll of yellow line into the landlady's forhead. Maybe she'd get her daughter to use her own f'ing parking space.

I'm still angry.

Council have no jurisdiction - its a private driveway over which the pub has access for deliveries - but not for their customers. YOu getting the picture why I'm so frustrated?

Find two mates who've got cars with towbars.

Block the inconsiderate bitch in for a few days.

DAZ

EDITED TO SAY: work out the brewery delivery times. With your mates arrange to block the entire road at these "random" times.
