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!

So when will you let him out? Maybe tell him that you'll unlock the gate at 5am on saturday for him to move his van but you'll be going back up to bed at 5.02am if he wishes to move his van (presuming your toddler usually wakes you up early).

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 17:44

I don't want to link to Facebook group as too outing - who knows who I know in here?! Lol

I'll take a pic later when I get home of driveway.

De lurking Grin

This is fabulous. I'd been complaining how MN threads are a bit miserable at the mo. Just gutted that I'm out tonight and might miss something hugely important.

Wineandpyjamas · 07/08/2019 17:35

Cross post OP! Brilliant news. Serves him right for being such an arrogant, selfish, sexist fuckbucket.

Wineandpyjamas · 07/08/2019 17:34

Jesus Christ OP just rtft and I’d have been raging!! I really hope your DH doesn’t let them out and if poss you can block them in when you get home.

Also A* for the drawings Grin

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 17:34

Local Faceache group is alerted - people are offering to park in front of gates so he will be doubly blocked in. I've graciously accepted!

My best neighbour next door other side (fellow Pinot lover) has come home and text me saying WTF and is keeping watch. He's been up to date and rattled it apparently.

Id be posting photos all over local social media pages of the rubbish firm that have parked on your drive and refused to move all day, despite not even working at your house. I'd mention that they were rude and arrogant. Spread the word about them!

I wouldn't be surprised if you get back to the van gone and your gate off it's hinges.

SlurplePurple · 07/08/2019 17:22

Oh god I’m fuming on your behalf op!
I’ve just read this to DH and he said he’d probably let them out and face my wrath (he’s far too calm all the time). Please don’t let the cf out until tomorrow.

notapizzaeater · 07/08/2019 17:17

And again in English ....
I'd be texting ......

notapizzaeater · 07/08/2019 17:16

Is he texted DH and arranging him to meet for tea....

MyNameIsJane · 07/08/2019 17:13

Good for you posting it on your local FB site!

CharDee · 07/08/2019 17:13

He laughed?!?!?! What an absolute dick.

Hope someone slashes his tyres. I'd love to do it!

Sparklfairy · 07/08/2019 17:11

This would never have happened if those bollards had been of the penguin variety

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 17:06

Thing is if he’s not inconvenienced today he’s literally gotten away with it!

So even when you get home DON’T LET HIM MOVE!!! 😡😡😡

SynchroSwimmer · 07/08/2019 17:03

I’m impressed that you have bollards. #envious!
Great diagram

Moondancer73 · 07/08/2019 17:03

What a shame you're not going to do a night shift.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 07/08/2019 17:03

Best.Diagrams.Ever!

Love the annotations too!

Hope you’ve managed to delay his exit sufficiently to make him huff and puff.

YouJustDoYou · 07/08/2019 17:01

He laughed! Fucking bastard. They're always always such fucking cowards because they would never do this to a man and laugh in a man's face. Bet he's got a tiny little prick, which is why he's such a massive one to women, major hidden insecurities.

LadyBahBahBah · 07/08/2019 17:00

Bravo OP I just hope the CF doesn't barge and damage your gates Sad

PamelaTodd · 07/08/2019 17:00

I was on the fence until he laughed.
