Live parking thread - cheeky fucking builders!

So my neighbours are getting work done again, and as usual they haven't told us (yesterday the work started at 6:30am but that's another story) and today I have gone out ready for my day to see a big fuck off lorry blocking my drive. Knocked on next door. No answer. Fence between us so not like I can even just use their drive to get out!

Crappy diagram attached.

FUMING Grin

Great diagram.

Excellent diagram OP.

MulticolourMophead · 19/03/2019 13:24

OP, I know you wrote there's just a generic phone number, but is there anything that could identify the company which you can FB about?

BlackeyedGruesome · 19/03/2019 13:24

Oh come on op, not much of a live thread if you do not update. [Impatient]

EffYouSeeKaye · 19/03/2019 13:25

Ooh police. And then sit in your front room with a camera and 🍿.

RhubarbTea · 19/03/2019 13:27

Best diagram ever. Raging for you.

EffYouSeeKaye · 19/03/2019 13:28

OR is your fiesta narrower than a fence panel? Remove panel and drive straight through to your neighbours driveway and park across their front door .

Move your own car onto neighbours' drive tonight when the wankers builders have gone.

When they come round to play hell, tell them it's so you can be sure of getting out tomorrow.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 19/03/2019 13:32

Well according to a poster on another thread, blocking a drive is perfectly reasonable and you should be asking a neighbour to give you a list.

Mummyoflittledragon · 19/03/2019 13:34

Was also going to suggest removing a fence panel. Where is the op?? I’d say taking a leaf out of driver of Big fuck off lorry and buggered off.

Mummyoflittledragon · 19/03/2019 13:36

I meant : Leaf of of the drivers book. I wouldn’t recommending his taking a leaf out of him. Removing his teeth perhaps?.

VeraWangTwang · 19/03/2019 13:37

a magnificent diagram , such vibrant colours too Grin

Sammysquiz · 19/03/2019 13:40

Do any of the other neighbours have a number for the people who have hired them?

If you're blocked in, call the police.

Nanny0gg · 19/03/2019 13:44

Following on from another thread, can’t the OP catch a bus/tram/train/taxi to where she wants to go?

After all, it must be important for the neighbours to have it there, no?

EssentialHummus · 19/03/2019 13:44

Do you have a phone number for this neighbour/anyone else who may know this neighbour? I'm fuming for you!

bebeboeuf · 19/03/2019 13:45

I have this identical problem so often it drives me bonkers

IRanSoFarAway · 19/03/2019 13:46

Take a photo for evidence. I take it the builders will be back soon to actually do some work? Hmm

picklemepopcorn · 19/03/2019 13:49

Oh dear! I'm just going to have to sit around here, waiting to see what happens...

That poster is an eejit. Not only is it generally viewed as inconsiderate but is in fact an offence in many parts of the country.

TinselAndKnickers · 19/03/2019 13:54

Sorry everyone - I went to the neighbours and ended up staying for a cup of tea and a discussion about the work being done and what I am not happy with. They don't have a contact number for the work men at her house, only the person who sent them, who is not answering her phone and found them on Gumtree. Brilliant.

Still there. Long lunch break Hmm

Half an hour more and I will be calling the police. I have missed my class now so I am not going anywhere but still annoyed!! Sorry everyone for leaving you Grin

Have you got cling film? Wrap the fuck off lorry with some!

TinselAndKnickers · 19/03/2019 13:55

The van/lorry is locked and it's dirty so I'm very tempted to write on it.. or leave a cheeky fucker note myself! Loving some of these ideas Grin
