Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

So NC for this as not sure if neighbours are on here.

I am off today & woke up to the sound of doors banging and loud voices.

Have a glance out of bedroom window & there are 2 vans & a land rover parked on my ACTUAL drive!

Now I guess it's easily mistaken as a public car park Hmmso don't say anything immediately but once I'm up and toddler is dressed I go downstairs to see.

My next door neighbours are away on holiday. But of a weird driveway as their house has its own but it's round the back of ours and ours is at front so if you use sat nav it brings you to ours as their house is other side of our driveway ifyswim.

Diagram to show you what I mean.

Anyway they are unloading tools etc onto big sheets on my drive and walking over grass to neighbours

I said to them it was a private drive and could they move onto neighbours and they said they won't be long Angry

I was too shocked to say much more than 'no please move now'

Grrrrrrr!

i have put the pic on the FB group and you can clearly see the company name on side of van

I’m not sure what places fall within the midlands to even start looking 🙄🙄

ThanosSavedMe · 07/08/2019 20:34

Op you are brill. Your do sounds exactly like mine - would have humoured me for a while then said enough is enough. Spoil sports!

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 20:33

Hope his wife is on MN and has been reading this thread.

I was about to post the same, but I wonder if a man who is such a twat would actually find a woman daft enough to marry him?

SunshineCake · 07/08/2019 20:27

Your almost hero dh needs to take lessons from your stellar hero FIL.

I want to know why too but of course we already know. Because a woman asked him

FunnyHappyGirl · 07/08/2019 20:27

I have had a really shitty day and I'm sorry OP, I know this is your real life, but this has really cheered me up. A CF getting his comeuppance!

For those that have said "what's the problem", I spent £5k having my drive block paved and if someone parked on it uninvited, how do I know whether they've not got a fuel or oil leak which is ruining it? Will they pay to repair the damage? Will they fuck.

Well done OP. I hope he's learned his lesson!

@IvanaPee yes I've told him he's a bit wet too!

I have put the pic on the FB group and you can clearly see the company name on side of van. DH doesn't want any other 'repercussions' though Hmmso won't let me do much else although he is going to call the company tomorrow and have a word.

What am I going to draw diagrams of tomorrow?!

I'm not friends with Neighbours on Facebook nor do I have their number but I do know they are on the Facebook group so hopefully they will see my earlier rant!

That was an enjoyable thread to readSmile I hope they don't arrive back tomorrow

Bluetrews25 · 07/08/2019 20:20

Or phone the company and PRETEND to be a DM journo and ask for their side of the story.

TheBrockmans · 07/08/2019 20:19

That is epic! I hope his dinner is ruined

Hope his wife is on MN and has been reading this thread.

ElizaDee · 07/08/2019 20:17

I hope DM pick this up and really fuck up the company name.

I hope his dp gives him shit when he gets home too!

kyles101 · 07/08/2019 20:17

Ooooh if we knew what the company was we could all call tomorrow and ask them what their parking policy is as we are considering using their services but conscientious parking is paramount in our decision of whom to employ.

Groovee · 07/08/2019 20:17

That was a fab read!

CensorshipHereIsAJoke · 07/08/2019 20:15

👏👏👏👏👏

RosaWaiting · 07/08/2019 20:14

I want to know whyyyyy as well.

UtterlyPickled · 07/08/2019 20:12

Just caught up with this, give us a hint about his company to find out on fb pleaaaase. Are his initial cp? Or is he called nick? Not that I've been looking..

TheTrollFairy · 07/08/2019 20:12

I need to see the Facebook of this story too! I just feel like it will bring additional joy to you sticking up to this arrogant man!

Well done for doing something I would probably be too chicken to do!

Troels · 07/08/2019 20:09

Let the house owners know what kind of people they hired, I hope they will make a complaint.
Make sure the gates are closed in the morning.

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 20:09

FIL is a hero! Dh is a bit wet. You’re a legend! Grin

But look - he is now, what, two? Two and a half hours late home? Plus everyone in the community knows he’s a twat so don’t be deflated! He hasn’t gotten away with it.

Enjoy the pinot!

minou123 · 07/08/2019 20:09

Whilst it's a shame that he has gone. It's still a massive victory for you.

From what I can tell, he was stuck on your drive for 2 1/2 hours, from when he wanted to go home and move from your drive.

That is epic! I hope his dinner is ruined

Cjl1 · 07/08/2019 20:08

How many of us are smiling reading this! Got to go in classics. Thankyou OP. x
and if any publisher needs an illustrator, you know who to ask!! Grin

MrsMozartMkII · 07/08/2019 20:07

Hopefully he's learnt not to be such an arse!

MeridianB · 07/08/2019 20:07

Thank you for cheering up my day. Brilliant work, Pinot Family!

Howyiz · 07/08/2019 20:06

Well deserved OP! Fair play for not letting the entitled arsehole away with it and well done to your FIL and DH, it is great to see men supporting women against pricks like that!

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 07/08/2019 20:06

What a knob! Who wouldn’t say ‘whoops silly me I’ll move that now. Bloody sat nav’

What excellent publicity for his company. If he worked for me we’d be having an interesting convo tomorrow morning!

Wherearemycrayons · 07/08/2019 20:05

Classics! Just brilliant 😂
