There's a car parked on my drive

[Mreva]

Arrived home from work to find a car parked on my drive. Thought it might be one of dh's friends but no.

Our drive can fit two cars but the bastard has decided to park at the front of the drive so no chance of parking on the drive and blocking them in like I would like to.

It's making me irrationally angry and I can't stop checking to see if it's gone. Dh doesn't seem to share my annoyance.

Why would anyone decide it's ok to park on someone's drive?!

so you asked her "why have you parked on my drive?" and she said... i mean, what on earth could she actually say? What a fecking muppet!

I don't even own a car and I think it should be okay to get these cars reported and towed.

This bloke parked his car in a disabled parking space and earned the wrath of a few people:

Thanks to MN, every time I come home at a busy time of day, I expect to either have a car parked on my drive or across my dropped kerb when I'm parked on the drive. Neither has happened. I'm never going to have an exciting parking thread :(

It would be such a shame if you slipped while carrying an opened pot of yogurt while walking past the car, as you do, and some half of it landed on her bonnet.

Especially in this heat.

Let the the person who runs the Weightwatchers session know and ask her to make an announcement at the next session. Maybe she could remind her members about the benefits of walking?

Get a penguin bollard in there quick.

And re-educate your OH. Send him to us. What if she does it every week?!

We lived at the end of a cul de sac opposite a nursery school and regularly got idiots blocking us in.
My favourite was the scout parent who parked their four by four in the narrow exit blocking in the entire end of the road.
Group of us waited patiently for her to shift - then went to ask her to move.
The response? " oh, can 't you get out?"
Well, as my car is not ChittyChittyBang Bang and can't fly over your car - NO!
Idiots.

Thought I had replied earlier but apparently not!

I am very sorry to everyone that the outcome was not quite as exciting as hoped for. I am both relieved and slightly pissed off by this

At least I know I wasn't being unreasonable to be annoyed and if it ever happens again I have free rein to teepee the car

She parked on your drive to have a shorter walk to Weight Watchers!

PMSL. The irony of it.

Get stocked up on the lipstick and Vaseline and all the rest of it.

I can't believe it's ended and you actually spoke to twatty mctwatface

I know someone who would put ice cream in her slim fast shakes to make them taste nicer then was surprised at not losing any weight

Maybe it's the same woman?

I'd contact the weightwatchers meeting. Get them to make an announcement in their next meeting about parking considerately. Maybe add a bit of embarassment

I dropped a friend at home once. She lived down a road with cars parked on both sides and just enough space for a car to squeeze down the middle but there was space at the end to turn around. Except this time, a van had parked a foot and a half from the kerb and had 1. Blocked in all of the cars beyond him on the road and 2. Forced me to have to reverse all the way back up the tiny road because I couldn't turn. Stressful doesn't even cover it.

A potato up the exhaust pipe will have the engine cut out after a minute and a half. Perhaps she will attend another meeting next week. You would recognise the car again yes? Only half joking OP.

I'd spend the next couple of hours shrink wrapping it around the doors in layers

To be fair my part of the conversation didn't go much further than 'why have you been parked on my drive?' And 'well you parking on MY drive is a problem. Don't do it again'

I might contact weight watchers but to be honest based on her reaction tonight I don't think it would bother her.

Maybe they should make everyone do a twat test before handing them their licence...

Lift the wipers up and carefully smear lipstick on the blades

Some of these ideas are amazing!!!

makes mental note of things to do if we find an unknown car in our drive

Thanks for that it really made me chuckle.

Glad the car has gone. I wouldn't dream of doing that.i was blocked in by a Pratt once. Didn't seem bothered when he turned up until I told him I should have picked my kids up from school half an hour before. Looked a bit sheepish then.

for me, no answer would have been good enough. but that's me.

I'd note the time of the WW meeting and tell the organiser and put whatever you can out along the drive edge.

Next time I would smash the Windows, rip the wires out like it's been hotwired then report it to the rozzers as clearly joy ridden and dumped.

Or the sudocreme thing!

Cheeky bitch. Who does that?!

And maybe think up a poem about parking like a twat

Considering some of the excellent suggestions in the thread:

You've parked on my drive like a twat
So this is where the story's at
Your glass is smeared with Vaseline
Good luck getting rid of that!

Now maybe it was a mistake
But it's not one that's easy to make
It's a drive, attached to my property
So your confusion is a tad hard to take

I chose not to use fresh dog shit
(Though that would make my Mumsnet thread a big hit)
But the lipstick on your screen is from Maybelline
Because you clearly were not born with it

Please don't consider yourself abused
Because - although I know you're not amused -
I've kindly taught you a lesson
And now you're no longer confused

Can't believe some of the stuff I read on here. Maybe there should be a new section on MN entitled Prats, Twats and Plonkers (And What To Do About Them). Or would that massively reduce the number of postings in AIBU?

It appears that there is a weight watchers meeting at the school down the road that finishes at 7 so I'm fairly sure that is where she came from
OMG why didn't you tell her that if she parked further away and walked she might actually lose some weight??

Cheeky fucking bitch!!
