I'm at my mum's. she lives on a a fairly narrow hill, you can park on the road but it's best if you park half on the pavement. I'm going camping for the weekend with friends who are coming to pick me up in an hour. I've just popped to the shops for supplies of crisps and wine and some cheeky bugger has parked on my mum's drive.

I've text all my family and no one has any knowledge of this car. Would I be a total arse to just reverse onto the drive right upto their bumper and leave my car there for the weekend? I really don't want to leave my car half on the pavement for a whole weekend. A few of the NDNs have double buggies and there won't be enough room for them to pass. I also don't want to leave my shiny lovely car under the tree on the road cos it will be covered in bird poo and tree sap when I get back.

Mum is also away this weekend too so I can't even leave the keys. Grrrrrr.

Oh I FUCKING love a parking thread!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2014 11:07

how weird and bloody annoying

def block but leave your keys with a neighbour

surely the police can remove if they have parked on private property or least find out who the owners are

CarryOnDancing · 16/08/2014 11:17

OP can I just say how irresponsible and selfish it was for you to go camping and leave us all hanging on. We need to know which strangers car is parked on another strangers drive. It's important to us Grin

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 16/08/2014 11:21

You're going to finish the thread and then we will never dind out!

Hahahaha this just about sums up me and MN!

Singsongmama · 16/08/2014 11:26

21 pages, 21!! I read 21 pages and STILL don't know who parked their car in the driveway?!! This is like a Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter film....only we can't go and read the novels to find out the ending!

I love how one story can cover such a range of topics...penguin bollards, slavery and (this has been baking my noodle all night) MN haircuts and scarves.....someone please elaborate while we wait for mystery parker.

FiftyShadesOfGreen4205 · 16/08/2014 13:04

What if OP never comes back?

SirChenjin · 16/08/2014 13:07

Would MNHQ give out the OPs name so that we could track down the address, go round en masse and sort this out once and for all? I'm sure that they would, given the circumstances

AuntieMaggie · 16/08/2014 13:15
