Idiot: Do you /have/ to park there, can't you park over there? Wife: We've parked here now (the engine was off) Idiot: My mrs. needs that space
25 May 2015
So, like a normal day we note someone is parked outside our house. So we park at the nearest spot, happened to be outside the idiot two doors up. We start to unpack the car. The idiot’s neighbour arrives and parks in front of us. I go to open the door to the house, and hear someone mumbling something at the wife, whilst she was at the back door of the car. I think to myself "that idiot is having a go at the wife, isn’t he." Sure enough by the time I get to the car, she confirms it.
Idiot: Do you /have/ to park there, can't you park over there? Wife: We've parked here now (the engine was off) Idiot: My mrs. needs that space
So I head back to the car and help the wife to unload it, thinking that was the end of it. Then the idiots wife arrives in her car, and asks if we’re coming or going.
Idiot's wife: are you going or staying Me: we're staying
With that, she put her engine into high revolutions to manoeuvre it into a space on the other side of the road. Much dramatic.
Whilst I was emptying the car, we were deciding like normal, who should carry what, and who should carry our dear child to the house.
Idiot's wife: Paul, watch her (their six-ish-year-old) that she doesn't try and cross the road (there was no traffic present at the time). Great, now I've got to drag all this across the road. Can't you park any closer to the car in front.
Wife: They parked there after us Idiot: I don't park outside your house anymore. Me: Not anymore, no. Idiot: I'll 'ave you. I'm going to get another car and park it outside your house. I'll get a truck and have your car towed away. It won't be there in the morning.
They both seemed to push each other to go inside, which was odd. There you go, two or more threats in a very short space of time.
We went back out to grease the door straps and tighten the strap nuts, something which has been bothering me for some time, and the neighbour with the car alarm from two doors down (the other way) comes out to speak to us. He says that our cockerel has been making some noise at 4am, though I don’t think its ours that has been crowing. Whilst talking to us, idiot comes out again, to stir the conversation again. I don’t remember the details as I was trying to ignore them both, but they were still looking for an argument about parking.
