Parking on someone's driveway without permission

[Twentypast]

There was a thread yesterday where someone parked on someone else's driveway without asking permission and some people doubted it was real as no one would actually do that.

Well this is a conversation between our neighbour across the road, DH and I this evening.

Seems there's no shortage of CFs.

We’re you able to park and is the car still there?
I hope you blocked them in so they had/have to have an awkward conversation to be able to leave.

Happens to me often. I block them in but leave a little room for acrobatics and watch the CCTV later to see how they got out. Some wait until I've gone back out. Nobody ever knocks to ask me to move though.

Yeh, happens shockingly often here. When it’s been our drive I do fully block them in, then wait for the knock.

Oh yes. We have a right of way between our houses. Fine for unloading but not parking. It’s narrow so you can’t get the pushchair out if there’s a car parked there. I’ve carried the pushchair over the car before now. A guest of ours parked there once. NDN park there all the time because they’re elderly (the visitors, NDN is blind) despite having a drive for 2-3 cars (they only ever park one on it) and I wish we had never done it that one time. This week it’s been blocked twice. One time they parked so far over our side no one could get through at all on our side so had to go around the other side where the neighbours handyman had left a spoil heap that my MIL fell over. And I couldn’t park our car because I need to use the space for turning. Grrr.

It didn't affect us at all. We have a driveway but street parking is limited as it's all double yellow lines. Our neighbour doesn't drive and we are friends as well as neighbours so our visitors often use his driveway but we still ask every time.

The car left around 11pm. We didn't think of blocking them in unfortunately. We could have done if our neighbour had asked.
