Speaks for itself really. Car blatantly blocking a driveway that serves 4 houses including ours! I'm so furious right now. Put a note on his car telling him or her not to park there as they're blocking a driveway. Can't believe the cheeky fuckery of it!

Ooh that is bold! I assume it is clear there are 4 houses at the end of the drive?

Yes very very clear. It looks almost like another road off the cul de sac and there's a row of 4 town houses.

Oh wow. That really is something! I assume that they are visiting someone? Not that that makes it any better.

What if someone in these houses needs an ambulance or to get to an appointment or to work??

The white car behind is my neighbours trying to get up the driveway.

Do you have a local Facebook group? When this happens in my town, you get people sharing it on there and shaming them into moving.
Everyone knows who they are too Grin

Seeline · 04/02/2019 13:16

Are there enough of you around from the four houses to block it in completely?

namechangedtoday15 · 04/02/2019 13:19

Are you near a train station / school? Why would someone park like that?! Confused

StoorieHoose · 04/02/2019 13:20

get that blocked in ! you have the power here. keep us posted

whiteroseredrose · 04/02/2019 13:20

That is possibly the worst parking I've seen!

StoorieHoose · 04/02/2019 13:20

is that a sign in its windscreen? does it say something like Midwife on Call or such like?

I don't really wanna go knocking on my neighbours doors because I don't like to disturb people. Next door neighbour works nights and there are little children who might be napping in the other houses. There are designated visitor parking spaces behind the houses but obviously they're too lazy to park there.

The sign on the windscreen says DON'T PARK HERE and I put it there.

Bounce the car gently to set off the alarm

ChrisjenAvasarala · 04/02/2019 13:24

I think you need to change that sign to explain why they shouldn't park there. They're obviously an idiot, so maybe put on the note that they are blocking a road up to 4 houses.

I have written " You can't park here. You're blocking a driveway"

StoorieHoose · 04/02/2019 13:31

ah okay, thanks for explaining the sign

costacoffeecup · 04/02/2019 13:31

What a total idiot!

ChrisjenAvasarala · 04/02/2019 13:32

Oh good! I think my note would have been much more rude though!

MoveOnTheCards · 04/02/2019 13:33

How long have they been there?

I wouldn’t have been able to resist going out to set off its alarm.

Endofrelationship · 04/02/2019 13:41

What fucking idiots. I'm assuming there's no other way in/out. Total numpty.

rainflowerstar · 04/02/2019 13:44

I would go out in your car park in front of it and constantly beep my horn until they came outside.

Jaxhog · 04/02/2019 13:52

Police. It's an offence to block a dropped curb or the highway.

If they won't help, bollard them in. Then they'll either have to spend time moving the bollard themselves, or ask for help to get out. Either way, you've got them!

Fairenuff · 04/02/2019 13:55

I second setting off their alarm.

Gruzinkerbell1 · 04/02/2019 13:56

Yep, call the police. They're blocking a road.
