Manly Whingers Report: Carport Crisis Hits Local Resident Hard—A Whinge Note Left for the Parking Offender



Manly, NSW: In an outrageous turn of events, the serene streets of Manly have been rocked by what can only be described as a carport calamity. Local resident Barry O’Peeve returned home after a long day’s work to find his carport commandeered by an unknown vehicle. The only thing more shocking than the unexpected parking situation was Barry’s response: a hilariously detailed whinge note aimed at the mysterious car intruder.

The Incident Unfolds

Barry, known for his relentless quest for public decency and order, was greeted by a sight that would make even the most stoic Whinger’s blood boil. His normally pristine carport—reserved solely for his beloved vehicle—had been transformed into an uninvited parking paradise. “I came home to find my carport occupied,” Barry lamented. “It was like discovering someone had moved into my living room without asking!”

The Whinge Note: A Masterpiece of Outrage

Determined to address the egregious violation with a blend of humor and indignation, Barry penned a whinge note that has since become the talk of the town. The note, delivered with a flourish of exasperation, read as follows:

Dear Mysterious Carport Park-er,

I hope you’re enjoying the thrill of parking in someone else’s carport! However, as fun as it may be to play “finders keepers,” I’m afraid the carport is actually reserved for my vehicle—not an impromptu guest parking spot.

Since you seem to be having such a grand time using my carport as your personal parking paradise, I thought I’d offer a few friendly reminders:

  1. This is Not a Public Parking Lot: Our carport is like a VIP lounge for my car. Only it’s not for your car, or your friend’s car, or any other car that isn’t mine.

  2. Parking Etiquette 101: Parking in someone’s carport is like taking a slice of pizza that isn’t yours. Tempting, but not appreciated by the owner.

  3. Spot Swap: If you’re in need of a new parking spot, I hear there’s an entire street full of options. Feel free to explore and find one that doesn’t come with a side of passive-aggressive notes!

If you could kindly remove your vehicle and avoid the carport in the future, I’d be eternally grateful. And, who knows? You might even discover the thrill of parking in a spot that isn’t someone else’s!

Thanks for understanding!

Best Regards,

Barry O’PeeveCarport Owner Extraordinaire

P.S. If your car somehow finds its way back here, just remember: I’m not as forgiving the second time around. 🚗🔧

The Community Response

Barry’s inventive whinge note has struck a chord with fellow Manly Whingers, who have taken to social media to express their support. “Finally, someone’s addressing the real issues,” commented local activist Stan Still. “I’ve always said, the key to resolving parking disputes is a good dose of humor!”

Others, like Emma Wilson, chimed in with their own anecdotes. “I had to navigate around a similar carport squatter last month,” she shared. “I felt like I was in a driving obstacle course!”

Barry’s Next Move

As for Barry, his quest for parking justice continues. “I just want to be able to park my car without having to send out eviction notices,” he said with a sigh. “Is that too much to ask?”

While the mystery of the rogue parker remains unsolved, Barry’s whinge note has certainly left its mark. In Manly, it seems that even a simple parking dispute can become a source of community camaraderie and comedic relief.

So, if you happen to see a car parked where it shouldn’t be, remember Barry’s advice—and maybe consider drafting your own whinge note. After all, in the world of Manly Whingers, a little humor goes a long way!
