Panic in Rhondda as Admin of Facebook Parking Group Threatens to Expose Anonymous Posters

Chaos has erupted across the Valleys as the Facebook group Parking Like A Prick In The Rhondda teeters on the brink of a public meltdown after the admin dropped a bombshell that has sent shivers down the spines of the valley’s most passive-aggressive keyboard warriors.

In an announcement that has already been dubbed ‘Prickgate’, the group admin declared late last night that he was considering the “nuclear option” of revealing the names behind all the anonymous posts. The declaration has thrown the Rhondda’s parking vigilantes into a tailspin, with many now frantically reviewing years’ worth of posts to see which sarcastic jabs and less-than-flattering photos could blow back on them.

“I thought it was a safe space! It’s absolutely ridiculous really.” wailed Darren from Tonypandy, who had just last week posted a picture of a Fiat Punto parked across three spaces with the caption: ‘Must’ve been in a rush to get to the Greggs sale!’

Other members have gone into hiding, fearing that their past passive-aggressive observations will come back to haunt them. Rumours have spread that some are even deleting their posts and accounts.

“It’s not just about the posts,” said Lisa from Treherbert. “It’s the comments! I’ve been dropping subtle digs for months. You know, things like ‘Ahh, that car looks like it’s had a hard life, bit like its owner, I bet’.

The group, originally founded to share photos of atrocious parking and offer the people of the Rhondda a safe place to vent about their parking-related woes, has over 13,000 members. What began as a simple outlet for frustration has spiralled into an online battleground where people compete to see who can deliver the sassiest put-down.

But with the Admin’s sudden power trip looming large, some members are feeling betrayed. “I joined for the anonymous thrill of shaming someone’s awful parking, not to have my identity exposed,” said Gareth Jubilee from Porth, whose most recent post targeted a driver who parked on the pavement outside the post office, forcing pedestrians to walk in the road. “Now I’m scared because the driver is my neighbour.”

Some, however, have questioned whether the admin’s move is merely a stunt to drum up attention for his Facebook group, it’s unclear whether the public naming and shaming will actually happen, but one thing is certain: parking-related tensions have never been higher in the Rhondda, and the valley may never be the same again.

Mary Fringe from Blaenllechau, who often posts about her neighbours’ inconsiderate parking, told us when she learned of the news, “I’ve now started parking like a prick myself, and anonymously posting about it to try and throw people off my scent.”
