Best way to handle this?

[taxi1990]

There is one 24 hour taxi rank space where I work. The rank is clearly marked.

It is right outside a business. The owner of the business started using it from mon to sat 9am to 6pm, 6 days a week.
I challenged them on the matter, they stopped parking there but now are back to their old tricks.
There is no traffic warden at the moment and the guards aren't bothered about it by the looks of it.

Put a sign on it saying this selfish cunt from name the business is preventing taxi drivers from earning a living and you from getting a taxi by parking in the taxi rank .Keep a supply of them in the car and put one on every time in fact get sticky paper like they have if you park in the Hospital .Print them out so they cant be traced to you by handwriting .That should soften her cough .

Só i parked in the middle of the road an blocked the traffic as yu doo as I was a mad cunt back then..... Anyway a big fat guard came along wit one them shiney suits an a hat that looked like he was a sea captain... .... Hé looked like he grew up in a pig farm.... An ther was 3 ordinary guards wit him all jumped out the car......
" move that ting you your blocking the traffic " he said.......
" move it up Ther wer thers parkin"....... " That's a double yellow line.... Íde bé breaking the law if I did that"..... I said....
" listen smart arse " he said......" move that Fukin ting or I'll arrest ya "" for wat " I said...... For obstructing the traffic.....
" im not obstruction the traffic them cars are illegally parked at the bus stop an Ther obstruction the traffic an prevent me from legally parking " anyway I had the cnut by the bollix... An hé said......" look sir " will you please park the bus up Ther

No clampers in my area unfortunately.

I like that idea John. I wouldn't call them a cunt though, even if they are one. if I could put stickers on the windows it would be great but not sure if that would be legal.

I think I put a piece of paper under their wiper before saying 24 hour taxi rank, maybe a month before I had a word with them. You know what some people are like though, they think the rules don't apply to them. Id say they would like it if I stood in their door way and stopped customers entering their premises.

I might park in front of her car octavia so she is blocked in when she finishes work, but id be on double yellows then and the guards would probably get me towed away.

I might call in to the council and have a word with them or the Garda station.

Go to your local Library see if they have a Photo Coppier and print off a load of hand bills and hand them out .Just say people parking in this taxi rank are denying you your taxi service .Get any other local drivers to get involved .

I'm fairly sure this topic was posted before. Possibly with the same answers.

will do.

The other taxi drivers in the area are too soft, they just let things like that go and don't kick up a fuss.

I had a similar issue before with another business owner who hung a hanging basket over the taxi sign, I asked him to move it a couple of times, he never did (arrogant prick) The co council asked him to move it, he tried to ignore them but then they got the Guards to get him to move it.

it might have been but that was people parking there to go into a shop for 5 minutes. this time it is someone using the rank as their own personal parking space.

Ah yeah no probs...It's not uncommon on this forum to see repetition.Usually it's John M though.He might start off asking for a jump start but finishes the thread talking about his lover boyfriend Leo.

Back on topic....the public only pretend they like us when they need us and don't care about us the rest of the week.Once you realise that you'll understand why we continue to get shat on.

I said to a cop "Could I get into trouble for calling you a c*nt?" he said yes.

I said "Could I get into trouble for thinking it?" no he said.

So I said, "I think you're a c*nt"!!
