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!

He's an arrogant fucker who totally thinks he's got what he wanted (ie to park his van there all day), hence the laughing. Please keep him blocked in tonight and for as long as possible. He really is an asshole. Can you call your neighbours? I'd be phoning them and giving them merry hell for this as they're also responsible for this situation.

He laughed in a as if you would kinda way. Hope he's realised the twat.

I've called company again and no answer.

My DH knows and is mad too albeit he's more laid back than me. If that's possible.

I am out shopping so going to enjoy browsing! Told DH to not leave work yet - he can't anyway as busy plus then has a 20 min cycle home.

I'd defo have an empty bottle of wine by the door to say "oops can't drive"

Bookworm4 · 07/08/2019 16:57

He’s had 6/7 hours to move, bet he wouldn’t have done this to a big burly bloke. Arsehole!

MotherofTerriers · 07/08/2019 16:56

Do you have any tins of paint left over from redecorating? I'd let your toddler decorate the nice man's van

He laughed!! The cheeky arrogant brat

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 16:54

He laughed at you? Sorry but what a fucking prick.

I have a feeling your dh will just let him how but it’s actually awful that he’s blatantly done what he wants and will get away with it!!!

I’d warn dh not to let him out and I swear I would keep gate locked and not let him out, even when you return.

I’d go in and neck a glass of wine and say you can’t drive and/or hide keys. I am 100% serious.

There was a thread on here before about someone who parked in OP’s drive and she left them there overnight and the next day the driver’s husband came to collect the car.

Please, PLEASE don’t just let him away with this!!

PepsiLola · 07/08/2019 16:53

Haha! Be told worker men!

You have them the chance to move and they did not. Leave them there for the night.

Tough titties

tiredteddy123 · 07/08/2019 16:50

Absolutely do NOT open those gates tonight!! I would park on the road all night and keep the van locked in. Make sure you have a photo of the van behind the locked gates also in case CF tries to break out.

Tiredmumno1 · 07/08/2019 16:50

I'd have been spying from round the corner, just to see his face when he realises OP locked it 😂

Although I hope he doesn't cut the lock or damage the gates if he tries to get the van out.

major CF

CruellaFeinberg · 07/08/2019 16:48

Can You link the fb page??
You've nc so it will be fine

PinkyPrincessy · 07/08/2019 16:47

After all those drawings you deserve DH paying for dinner out tonight. Enjoy!

crankysaurus · 07/08/2019 16:46

Go out for dinner? Meet your DH somewhere nice and relaxing.

Littleduckeggblue · 07/08/2019 16:46

Well done op!
Ring your hubby and go out for food.

ElizaDee · 07/08/2019 16:45

Do you each have individual exits off the main road? I think your diagram needs to zoom out Grin

ItsJustASimpleLine · 07/08/2019 16:43

You cant go back yet! Treat yourself to tea out :)

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 16:43

Great diagram!

Text hubby (who may indeed be funny) and tell him not to go home but to meet you somewhere so you can eat out tonight. Even if it's just a burger in the park or something.

Let the CF stew. And go out for the day tomorrow, very early, and visit a mate for the day.

That'll learn the bastard.

I love the diagrams, and now I need to get spaceship pens etc.. I almost want another car related incident so I can do a diagram!

probstimeforanewname · 07/08/2019 16:41

Can you contact your DH and explain? I would absolutely try to contact mine though he never answers his mobile and ask him to make sure he didn't go home for a bit.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 07/08/2019 16:41

Hope you’ve got some cctv to see what he tries to do when he realises what you’ve actually gone out and locked him in.

greenwaterbottle · 07/08/2019 16:40

Can you ask some Facebook people to come block him in.
If his company details are on his can then I'd be naming and shaming on Facebook.

Bookworm4 · 07/08/2019 16:38

Tell your DHto meet you after work, keep him away from house!
