So , I had a neighbour incident yesterday . I had parked up last Sunday outside a house on my street, I knew the old lady who lived there had some mental health issues. She walks up the centre of our road and yells at drivers, and I've seen her chuck water at folk.
Anyway, go to the car on Saturday morning, the wing mirrors are smeared with meat , and there was random bits of bacon on the bonnet. Mrs21 nipped back to get some cleaning stuff. The old lady came out, asked if it was my car , then said it was a dirty fucking car , and that it had attracted flies to her house. I asked her if she smeared pork on my car, she said she had, I said that would attract flies,mice and rats. She called me dirty fucking rat , accused me of not living in the street, when I told her I had lived in the street for 24 years, she told me to park outside my own fucking house. She then accused me of being racist as I had disrespected her by letting flies get into her house , I pointed out that smearing my car with pork wasn't very respectful either .
When she was in mid rant, Mrs21 returned, told me to stop talking to the woman, at which point, the woman told me to get my fucking wife to clean my fucking car . Mrs21 then took her picture , which prompted the old lady to throw water at me (it didn't hit me ) . So we drove off straight to the car wash (to clean my fucking car tbf) .
Later I spoke to a woman opposite the old lady , who I was on nodding terms. She said they no longer parked outside their own house as the old lady, would smeared their car with pork, she thought they were Muslims (they aren't, they are Indian) so clearly, before she saw me , thought my car was owned by them or by a Muslim. They told me she regularly does this to cars nearby , that the police were regular visitors to her but nothing had been done.
All a bit WTF on a Saturday morning.
It did remind me of a place in Finsbury Park I had to go to for work. The guy who lived there was in wheel chair & couldn't speak. He hated cars being parked near his flat, so regularly scratched them , neighbours learned not to park there , so there was a 6 car unofficial no parking zone near his flat. This was in a street off Seven Sisters Rd close to the Tube/Train station.
I won't park there again
