Can't Park There Mate..
« on: June 20, 2014, 12:49:40 am »
Take a look at this video..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUnk07WJk5w

I'm assuming the house filming owns the blue car.

What a plonker. "the blue car"

Why park the van across the driveway in the first place.

The window cleaner is the plonka!

Well it's hard to tell what's going on there, but it looks like the home owner asked them not to park outside the house because they were having their driveway done, but the window cleaner did anyway.  WAS HE PARKED OVER THE DRIVE?  Not clear, and that's the crucial point.

So she has parked her blue car tight up against the van to block him in.

If he has indeed parked over the drive, then that's illegal and he is in the wrong.  If it's just a road, and he ignored her request to park elsewhere, then the householder is in the wrong.

So it looks like the window cleaner bloke got quite upset and decided to shout (and possible swear?  not clear from the video but the comments would suggest it) at her from the street, which she filmed, put on youtube and facebook, naming the company, the employee and the directors with their names and addresses.

It seems the directors have now been harassed at thier homes and had threatening and abusive messages for them as a result.

So my take is this:
1) window cleaner should not have parked in front of the drive, if he did.
2) householder should not have blocked him in, but instead called the police.
3) window cleaner should not have shouted, swore or be abusive to her, though I don't think that's against the law.
4) householder may get sued for that new online harassment charge, as the result of them posting this video has ed to abuse, which could cost them thousands.

Numpties all round.

It's not illegal to park over someone's drive.

Window cleaner is a complete dick! If he'd done that outside my house at that time in a morning he'd have got more than a camera in his face! ;)

Pretty obvious he had been requested not to park there but chose to be a total dick by the looks of it. ::)roll

If this all happened at 6:45am then isn't it a reasonable assumption that the window cleaner wasn't working (Bit early for residential) but probably a neighbour who just wanted to leave for work - especially if he had previously had his van leafleted with a request not to park there that day?

If this was the case - any sensible working man would know that he'd be long gone before the lads arrived to do the driveway, so where he parked that night wouldn't really matter,...

It seems to me quite likely that the busybody cow didn't understand this simple line of reasoning and due to some convoluted backwards reasoning encouraged him to leave the offending parking space by blocking him in & making it impossible to comply with her request??!!!  ???

And this is why I love living in the countryside with no neighbours!!!

I reckon that lady is on very thin ice by her comments she posted.

I can't work out what's going on either.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.
