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!

Just googled CP plastering and there are loads of them. Don't suppose you could give vague location could you op?

WiddlinDiddlin · 07/08/2019 19:39

This is brilliant, please can you do a diagram of mr van man and fil van and van and HERODH etc etc. Thankyou.

harriethoyle · 07/08/2019 19:38

This is incredible. You've cheered me right up after a shitty day!!

diddl · 07/08/2019 19:38

CP plastering?

Are the letters rap missing from the middle of that?

PepsiLola · 07/08/2019 19:37

Wonder if he's getting paid overtime 😂

Serves him bloody right and well down FIL

CandleWithHair · 07/08/2019 19:37

Sadly he sounds the sort of twat not to learn from this. When it’s over please name and shame the company!

StoorieHoose · 07/08/2019 19:36

And all he had to do was put his hands up to being an arse but he couldn't even do that and tried to blame you! I would leave the fucker there all night for his lack of apology

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:36

Please don't let him out until lots of the local FB people have been round to point and laugh at him!

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 19:36

Haha! Love it.

So has FIL come in for a cuppa? Isn’t he diabetic? Low blood sugars? He must have a cuppa and a biscuit before he can drive again surely...

Bookworm4 · 07/08/2019 19:36

FIL is a hero too, invite him in for a beer; then he can’t drive his big van 😉

JustLikeJasper · 07/08/2019 19:36

Please take a picture of twat van man sitting in his van all annoyed 😂

Troels · 07/08/2019 19:35

LOL brilliant.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 07/08/2019 19:35

I fucking love your DH and FIL!!

Superstars the pair of them!

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 07/08/2019 19:35

Good on your DH!

RosaWaiting · 07/08/2019 19:35

All this because he couldn’t bear to move when a woman asked him.

TreeSunset · 07/08/2019 19:33

Go OP! Fucking awesome. Love kyles suggestion.

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 19:33

Update.

We are home.

Said Van was still there only I couldn't get to my gates as FIL has arrived in his big works van. Smile

Neighbour also out looking at what was going on, glass of wine in hand.

DH has spoken to van man who was out of his van as soon as we walked into drive saying I'd locked him in and DH (who from now on shall be called HERODH) said to him how could I have locked him in as it was our drive and he shouldn't have been there full-stop, and I'd asked and advised him to move which he hadn't so we weren't rushing to move or let him out. FIL promptly drove up drive a bit so he defo can't get out. Grin

I've come inside now to sort DS.

I imagine they will move in a min but not before they let him stew a bit more. Twat.

I can't believe he just laughed at you! I bet he wouldn't have done that to a man.

StoorieHoose · 07/08/2019 19:32

I'm betting he's a one man band and it was him who ignored the OPs call earlier and him who phoned requesting her to come back.

QuckTheDuck · 07/08/2019 19:31

Shamelessly placemarking

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:29

Should we have a whip round to pay for OP, her DH and DC to spend the night in a hotel? Grin

cstaff · 07/08/2019 19:27

Asta la vista baby

I'll be back

Fucking love it. Funniest CF thread in a long time Grin
