Some CF has left their car parked over my drive!

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?

Or reverse right up and beep your horn until the cf comes out.

Getting a taxi also means I have no excuse for not drinking as I might be pregnant. We live quite rurally so haven't been able to get out and test so wanted to be safe and just not drink.

At a bit of a loss as DH really wants to go out.

Lean on that horn OP. Hopefully someone will come out and help you bounce the offending vehicle out of the way.

ShutUpBaz · 31/12/2017 21:14

I'd be rocking or jumping on the CF car till the alarm goes off.

If this turns into a true parking thread, my NYE will be complete.

opens and offers around popcorn and gin

Appleandcinnamon · 31/12/2017 21:14

Omg op ffs how many houses on your street! Start knocking

GlitteryFluff · 31/12/2017 21:14

Can you knock at other neighbours to check?

honeysucklejasmine · 31/12/2017 21:14

As if. He just doesnt want to get a mate to move it - probably been drinking already.

dorislessingscat · 31/12/2017 21:15

Can you get a posse together to push it out of the way?

KarmaStar · 31/12/2017 21:15

I know they are going to be maxed out,but you can call the police as they are causing an obstruction of the highway.....

Namechanger2735 · 31/12/2017 21:15

Definitely agree with pulling at the handle of nudging it with your bum (if that's how it works??) to set the alarm off!

TemptressofWaikiki · 31/12/2017 21:16

Smash car window, open door, release handbreak and push it into the middle of the road. Then go out and have fun!

Namechanger2735 · 31/12/2017 21:16

karma that's an awful waste of police time

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 31/12/2017 21:16

I'd be on that horn... And possibly getting a few burly mates to bounce it

Littlelambpeep · 31/12/2017 21:16

Start knocking on doors

brizzledrizzle · 31/12/2017 21:16

Excellent, just what every NYE needs.

accepts popcorn.

Tiredmumno1 · 31/12/2017 21:18

Karma is correct though.

VeganIan · 31/12/2017 21:19

If you live rurally, and your neighbour is having a party, where else could the car be from? Get bouncing on that car!

Babybeesmama · 31/12/2017 21:19

Placemaeking. I agree with hand on horn! Cheeky sods! I'd be livid even if I wasn't going out! I'm regularly on call & need my car to get to the hospital so if someone blocked my driveway I would be ringing police!

Tiredmumno1 · 31/12/2017 21:20

Maybe have a knock round if no one owns up then go back to original neighbours and ask if they could double check as you will be calling the police if not.

It might give them a kick up the arse then.

MiddleClassProblem · 31/12/2017 21:21

CF thread. Happy new year!

Roomster101 · 31/12/2017 21:21

Someone did this to me once and they soon came running out when I started squeezing my car past theirs (my car is old and I don't care about scratches). The CF had the nerve to scream that I should have come to find him until I pointed out that I didn't know who/where he was.

BuzzKillington · 31/12/2017 21:21

This is rather daft. As is the additional detail Grin

Knock on some doors, get it moved.
