Is this woman on stakeout or drug dealing?

My commute, kids' clubs and general errands take me past a wood on the edge of town, close to a motorway junction. For the past year, the same car has been parked at the wood every day, no matter the time I pass, even on weekends. Same female driver, chatting away on video call. Occasionally, she's parked in a layby on the opposite side of the junction but most of the time she's parked blocking the entrance to the car park at the wood.

I asked her to move forward slightly a few months ago so I could get out of the carpark and she refused, so now I'm intrigued. DD thinks she's on stakeout monitoring marked cars driving in and out of town. I think she's drug dealing. Ideas?

No idea but what happened when she refused to move? How long were you stuck there?

Probably someone filming content for online videos. The "video call" will be her talking into the camera.

Cars make for great recording spaces as it makes you sound better. The awkward parking is an attempt to avoid people interrupting by driving close by.

Still shitty and selfish but not sinister.

Sex worker?

Either Facetiming her affair partner or flashing her boobs on Only Fans.

No self respecting drug dealer is going to park up in exactly the same place every day for a year.

And if it's a stakeout, fuck me she's playing a long game 👀🤣

Surely she wouldn’t be there all day if she was a content creator though?

She refused to move? Cheeky mare.

blindsblinds · 11/12/2025 23:45

Having an affair maybe? Or pretending to be at work

Either way, you'd be better off asking in your local Facebook group as you won't be the only person to have spotted her in the year she's been doing this.

I could get out but had to drive across the grass and along the pavement to do so.

I had no idea about the online content thing. What could possibly take all day though?! She was still out there at 7.15 last night.

I don't fancy the pile-on telling me I'm being nosey TBH. I'm idly curious, not determined to get answers.
