Parking on our drive.

[peaches1999]

We had a family day out today, and came back to someone parked on our drive. The car is still there. No sign of the owner.
Bloody cheek. Who does that?

[peaches1999]

Sorry , I've had sick children to deal with . I seen the neighbour the next day, and just causally mentioned about the random person parking on our drive.

He knew nothing of it! I explained that this person has pointed to their house and said you had said it was ok to park on the drive.

So basically a random man thought it would be appropriate to just use my drive as his own personal private parking.

Bloody hell - that's cheeky

[paulapompom]

At least you know the neighbours aren't giving people instructions to park on your drive. But yes, very bloody cheeky!!!

[TranmereRover]

surely Random Parker simply warned the neighbour that you'd be on the warpath? either that, or it was another neighbour - no way that they'd have known you were on holiday if it was simply a random person

"So basically a random man thought it would be appropriate to just use my drive as his own personal private parking."

And blame one of your, presumably innocent, neighbours in the process.

Bloody cheek.

Cheeky bastard !

[peaches1999]

We weren't on holiday , he had pointed across the street to the house . I think he must have just been thinking on the spot, and he left . Can't imagine he will do it again.

Now where do I get those bollards from

Funny thread! I remember a parking incident with my in-laws, who live close to a primary school. It gets very busy AM & PM around school hours, which they accept, but one time they were sitting eating breakfast in the front room, when a random car just pulled up on their drive and out got a woman with her two kids. My FIL rushed outside and asked what the hell she thought she was doing, and she said "I'll only be a minute. I need to drop my kids at school and I can't get parked any nearer". He told her in no uncertain terms to get off his drive immediately! The cheek of some people astounds me sometimes!

This thread has reminded me that I used to have a recurring dream about people parking on my drive without my permission- wonder what issues that relates to?

[Fizrim]

I'd be escorting the person back to the neighbour before moving the car next time - grrrr! That would out the fibbers!

Don't look up the p bollards online. They will forever haunt you op.

[emms1981]

There's a house next to ours and we share a drive and also a flat over looking our drive. They park in a large car park behind. When her mum I believe it is comes to visit she always parks in front of our drive way, Every time! Once i was getting in my car about 3 to go and do school run as she was parking up and she looks up and says "oh do you want to get out?" Yes I do!

[SirChenjin]

Ha - the penguin bollards have NOTHING on Billy and Belinda

[AliceAlice1979]

I drive past scary ghost children bollards every day. Give me the creaps.

[HuevosRancheros]

Just popped back to see if there was an update from OP - what a cheeky guy!

Those Billy & Belinds bollards are indeed creepy - they could so easily be the basis of a really scary Dr Who....you can imagine them coming to life at midnight.
Some children on the school run try to cuddle them which is a) odd and b) completely defeats the point of them, as it gets the kids closer to the road than they would otherwise have been!

[loveareadingthanks]

Cheeky chancer then, grrrrrrr.

I have a nice park on drive story. We were driving round twee 'popular with tourists' village hunting for a space and a lovely lady came out of her house and said we could park on her drive for a couple of hours. So sweet as I imagine most people living there are pretty fucked off with all the visiting cars jamming up the streets.

[BathshebaDarkstone]

I'm at how many MNers this happens to! Why would anyone do that?

[knittingirl]

sirchen That road with the Billy and Belinda bollards looks suspiciously like one of the roads I drive down on my way to work every morning I used to live near there, they always freaked me out.
