It's a parking one....sorry!! Wtf am I meant to do

[K1092902]

We live in a close of four houses on side of the road- it's literally our road and then the houses on the right hand side. Driveways can take 2 cars in all 4 houses.

Neighbour knocked earlier today to say they are going on holiday until Friday. Neglected to mention that family were coming and leaving their cars here.

Anyway one of these said cars is blocking DHs car in. We cannot get it out without me reversing mine, clearing some junk out of the garage so he can drive in to reverse sideways into my space and out.

Garage is full of shit. It's stuff we can't store in the house because it's damp etc.

AIBU to consider hiring a tow truck to get the car moved?? I'm going to have to take DH to work for 6am now

OP, if you park your car across the back of neighbours car will it be blocked in? You need to make their return as inconvenient as possible and not so they can just merrily drive off.

Oh my..I have NEVER placeheld before. Please update... its nearly bedtime :-)

come on op, where the feck are you????

when you're neighbours rellies come home make sure you've stuck a spud up their exhaust pipe to prevent THEM from going anywhere!!!

They'll know how it feels like then!!!

your not you're.

Any update?

This is such a disappointing parking thread.
Op you need to take lessons from the nanny parking thread

Cheers Dibbles !

Placemarking 😬

Blimey and I thought the fairer sex were less prone to vulgar language. How wrong can one be.

Hahahaha. Cunt off mate.

7 pages with only a (apologies!) theory diagram?

Why haven't MNHQ pulled the thread?

So they are back tomorrow? Leave a note on the car.

I'm wondering if it is a double-width driveway or, although there is room to park two cars according to the OP, there is only a single drop-down and the neighbour has not 'blocked' the drop down IYSWIM.

But without a diagram we'll never know

👀

Ok whererere have you gone?

Worst parking thread ever - and I made a coffee to settle down with it too :-(

I'm in London but I live near a school and it happens at least once a week. I call the council they come within ten minutes, ticket, clamp and tow the car. Doesn't matter if I am on my drive or off it, either way it's obstructing a dropped kerb and they will tow. £180 release fee and they have to collect it from the neighbouring borough pound. People are never happy when they get back and they car is gone however they shouldn't have been so inconsiderate.

Your neighbours may not have meant any harm and probably dont realise your bloked In! If I was you I would just clear the garage out! Tell my neighbors when they get back about the problem! If I came back from holiday and my car had been towed I would not be happy it will just cause problems i think. I dout your neighbours have done this on purpose!

Unless your neighbours are arsehols and do loads of shit like this!

Still no update?
I'm visualising the same as the diagram up thread. Unless the offending car is parked within inches of blocked car, I can't see why the blocked car can't be moved backward and forward to gradually manoeuvre out of the space iyswim.

If you can't do a diagram, can you post a photo? Neighbours wont see it, promise

I'm not sure if anyone has asked yet but perhaps a diagram would help us understand.
Also has the cheque been cashed...
😉

I think your neighbors did it so not to get oil leaked on their own driveway

Come on OP. We need an update

I bet I could get your DH car out if the diagram is correct. Just be a 10,000 point turn!!

Peppa - LOL!!! Maybe they asked their nanny to park there

Why can you get one care out but not the other?

Your neighbours may not have meant any harm and probably dont realise your bloked in

Lol... if the suggested diagram is how the cars are actually parked (same as was in my head)... then they need glasses if they think they've not blocked anyone in... I'm obviously mych less charitable in my thoughts than this poster
