Unable to move the car AIBU?

[MrsElizabethShelby]

So, I know DH WBVVU but was I?

This morning we took the car on the school run. Don't usually but needed to today.

I cannot drive. I don't have a license. DH parks across a driveway with a car in it.

I said to DH 'you can't park there' he objected and said ' oh, il only be a minute' and jumped out to run DD1 into school.

The minute DH was out of sight owner comes out of her house keys in hand and mouths at me that she needs to leave.

I rolled down the window, apologized and said husband will be back in a sec.

She repeated she needed to leave. I apologized again and explained that I can't drive and that even if I could DH has the keys and he will be back any minute.

This time she shouted she needed to leave. I said I'm sorry I've tried to explain and rolled my window back up.

I could have taken DD1 into school but DH had jumped out and gone before I had even had chance to suggest it.

Woman begins banging on my window shouting at me to move the car. Frightening my infant DD2 and making her cry.

Husband told her to wind her neck in when he got back and we ended up falling out as it was his fault as he parked there is the first place.

All of this took place over the space of about 5 minutes.

[SoupDragon]

My sympathies are entirely with the woman who was blocked in. She had somewhere to be and needed to leave. I would also have been shouting/banging on those circumstances.

[SoupDragon]

As soon as he parked there you should have immediately said that you would take your DD in so he was there to move it if necessary

This.

[Karwomannghia]

He shouldn’t have done it but it’s Sod’s law the one time he does that happens. She should have not got so angry as it was obviously only a short delay that you couldn’t do anything about and apologised for.

[Barbie222]

I'm missing why you didn't do the drop off and he could have moved the car for her? Apologies if you've explained why. I'd be really annoyed at your husband, and I'd be really annoyed at how you'd arranged things between you so that it's the one who can't drive who stays in the car.

[PotteryLady]

I do t blame her for being mad and if you wouldn't move it I would have taken the handbrake off and moved it for you - sorry but selfish behaviour pisses me off.

[Flowersintheatticconversion]

Your husband sounds like an entitled dick and I’m embarrassed for you that you were left having to deal with the driveway lady.
She was nbu banging your windows

[LittleRen]

I would never have let my husband park somewhere like that and not insist on having the keys. She had somewhere to be, was probably stressed about being late and is fed up of selfish people like you say across their driveway.
I couldn’t be barefaced enough to sit in the car blocking someone’s drive.

[makingmammaries]

Why does it take two parents to go on a school run? Completely anecdotal situation - two grown adults, one acting like an arse, the other playing helpless. Purleaze.

[OhDearGodLookAtThisMess]

So, not only was your dh a massively selfish prick, he then compounded the whole thing by Husband told her to wind her neck in when he got back when she had every right to be fucking furious.

You've got yourself a real peach there.

[AlexaAmbidextra]

She should have not got so angry as it was obviously only a short delay that you couldn’t do anything about and apologised for.

Oh do give over. Stop excusing shitty behaviour. OP was at fault in being so passive with her DH.

[Zigzag11]

YABU. I am sick and tired of people like yourselves. I live opposite the school where my daughter goes. I take her over then I have to jump in my car to go to work.
I lost how many times I had to tell people to stop fucking park front of my driveway, so I can get out and go to work. I don't care if it's a minute or a second. Why is it so difficult to comprehend for some that is not acceptable to park in front of others driveway?! I wouldn't dare to do it myself and park my car like that. It's selfish and ignorant and oozes arrogance and it seems that the world is now seem to be full of these type of people.
Why couldn't you get out of the car to take your little darling to school and then your other half could then have moved the car??

[onthenaughtystepagain]

Any upset to yur child is the fault of your OH, not the woman. I would have photographed your car and reported its number to the police, it is illegal to prevent someone leaving their own property.

The banging on the window was very rude and very unnecessary

Not at all rude, she was being held prisoner in her own drive by the selfish actions of a moron, if you didn't like it, tough, take it up with him, he was the rude one.

[MrsElizabethShelby]

Littleton keys or not I couldn't have moved it..

[SlothMama]

He shouldn't have parked there, I would be very annoyed if someone blocked my drive when I wanted to leave.

[Meandmetoo]

Of course ywnbu, you were put in a situation that was not your fault at all, and regardless of how pissed off she was she absolutely shouldn't have been aggressive with you.

[Lifecraft]

He used to never clear his own rubbish from places like McDonald's because 'someone is paid to do that' until I explained what a colossal cunt that made him.

Well you picked him. The biggest clue to someone's real character is how they treat those in an inferior position.

People who don't thank drivers who stop for them on a zebra crossing, people who talk on their phone whilst being served at a checkout, people who order food without says "please" People who don't say thank you when the food is given to them. And many, many
more.

Complete cunts...avoid like the plague.

[Poloshot]

Your husband is a prick

[Mummyshark2018]

Your husband was being very unreasonable but you both were very inconsiderate. Given that you're not the driver you should've got out and dropped dc at school- it makes sense (unless you've got a reason that you couldn't). Also you say it's only a minute but I live on a busy road, with drooped kerb over drive way, with white lines saying don't park and people must park there at least 10 times a day. And it may only be 5 minutes but that's enough time for my dc to be late for school or me to be late for a meeting. It's not fair.

[Dillydallyingthrough]

I had this every day for 3 YEARS!!!

The worst was when my DD was 2 and in hospital for 9 months, my DM would go to the hospital for 7am, I would drive home, have a shower, pick up post and leave. EVERY DAY SOME FUCKER BLOCKED ME AND SAID 'ITS ONLY A MIN' ITS NOT!!!sometimes it was 20 minutes.

This added to such a stressful time already, my DM had to go to work and would ring me (quite rightly) asking where I was as she was going to be late.

Your DH is a selfish twat, I've got so angry reading this, it's just brought all those feelings back!!!!

[CordeliaEarhart]

DH was a prick but the angry woman was also out of order. Banging on windows is aggressive and isn't okay.

I'm yet to understand why anyone buys a house near a primary school. Every single one I know of has parking issues and residents getting pissed off. Yes, the inconsiderate parking people are unreasonable, but it's totally predictable so if it's likely to piss you off so much then buy a different house. It's like buying a house next to a pub and getting pissed off at loud drunk people at 11pm on a Friday night.

[MidniteScribbler]

Your cunt of a husband is going to be teaching these same values to your children, do you realise that?

[GPatz]

God, I'd be massively embarrassed of my husband telling her to 'wind her neck in' when he parked across her drive? How arrogant of him.

[PinkiOcelot]

People who live beside a school and have people parking across your driveway, do you never fancy buying an old banger and just reversing off your drive?! It must be so tempting!

[WeWantJustice]

Wow, what a massively entitled arse your DH is.

Aren't you ashamed of him? It must be excruciating to be out and about with someone like this.

And agree with whoever said he's teaching these awful habits and worldview, to your children. Do you want that?

God I've just spotted a massive money-making opportunity. A finishing school for people who haven't learned how to be considerate and decent in their ordinary day to day life.

The problem is marketing it. There's no point tartgeting your client group as they're too selfish to want to change. I guess you'd have to target their friends and relatives.

[PinkiOcelot]

Ahhh and OP, your husband is an arse hole and sorry but you sound a bit like a wet weekend in Blackpool!
