And we are supposed to be heading out to a new years party right now.
A neighbour of ours is having a gathering and I definitely think it belongs to one of their guests.
WIBU to nip round and see if they will move it so we can go out?

Knock the door and tell them to move the car

RNBrie · 31/12/2017 21:01

Of course ywnbu!! Go and ask!

Oldraver · 31/12/2017 21:01

Er yes...why would you not ?

JaneEyre70 · 31/12/2017 21:02

Jump up and down on it to set the alarm off. Usually brings the owner out fairly quickly Grin

StepAwayFromGoogle · 31/12/2017 21:02

You would def not be unreasonable. Get round there pronto!

Appleandcinnamon · 31/12/2017 21:02

I’d have pushed it down the street! How bloody rude! We live where we do for this exact reason. Inconsiderate parking is my biggest bugbear

FuzzyCustard · 31/12/2017 21:02

Ooh a parking thread....definitely bang on some doors and find the culprit. How very dare they!?

steff13 · 31/12/2017 21:03

Have it towed.

Abouttoblow · 31/12/2017 21:03

Don't see if they will move it, tell them to move it and not park over your drive again.

Selfish gits!!

Maelstrop · 31/12/2017 21:04

God love you for taking the time to tell us! We love parking threads!

crazycatgal · 31/12/2017 21:04

Tell them to move it and not to park there again because you will need to access your drive again when you return.

Cantuccit · 31/12/2017 21:05

You knock on that door, OP.

timeisnotaline · 31/12/2017 21:05

Of course it wouldn’t be unreasonable!!!!

Longdistance · 31/12/2017 21:06

If you don’t like your car, reverse into it. Oops, I didn’t see it over MY driveway 😂

Justmuddlingalong · 31/12/2017 21:07

I say start the new year as you mean to go on. Call out all the CFs.

Nicknacky · 31/12/2017 21:07

Do you even need to ask if you are being unreasonable?

PositivelyPERF · 31/12/2017 21:08

A PARKING THREAD! 😄 And there's me thinking it was going to be a shit New Year's Eve. 🎊🎉😄

Sorry OP. 😳 but it's a parking thread

Have just popped over to the neighbour, it's not one of their guests. He suggested we call a taxi and deal with it tomorrow but we really haven't got enough money for a taxi to and from the party as we've spent all we have this month on new phones for the DCs.

Don’t be so wet. I know we all love a parking thread but this is ridiculous.

Either march round to your neighbour’s now or just stand with your hand on the horn of your car till someone appears.

Oldbutstillgotit · 31/12/2017 21:12

I know i’ve had a couple of glasses of wine but I can’t see a diagram ??

Appleandcinnamon · 31/12/2017 21:12

Screw the taxi. Has it got an alarm? Pull that door handle till it sets it off

CauliflowerSqueeze · 31/12/2017 21:12

Ffs!!! Who else could it be? Can you knock on all the neighbours’ doors!!? They’re so rude

Coastalcommand · 31/12/2017 21:12

Go round and knock on each door until you find the culprit.

NewIdeasToday · 31/12/2017 21:12

Cross post.

Hand in your horn till someone comes out then.
