WWYD if someone parked on your drive

[FlippertyFlip80]

or in your private parking space?

You point it out to them that they are parking on your private space and they mumble a sorry and walk off without moving their car...

I have blocked them in. AIBU?

YANBU

I would've said, "Move your car or I'm getting it clamped."

I would phone the non emergency number and report it or phone a tow company & get it moved.

Incidentally, there are other places on the road that they could park...

I can't get over the gall of it! How does anyone think that's OK?

I would make sure you drink alcohol and then you cannot possibly move your car.

Or clamped.

I’d have blocked them in too

Actually scrap that, I’d have said “Oi, I need you to move it please not just walk off!”

Is it a one off like a carer?
Don't block them in it'll only escalate.

When they come to the door, mumble a sorry and close the door.

Yabu as there is no diagram which is a necessity for this sort of thread.

However, blocking them in is perfect reasonable and as others have suggested have a glass of wine so you can't drive it

I would have blocked them in too and then had a drink so I couldn't possibly move my car.

Then I would have gone online and ordered penguin bollards.

They are cheeky fuckers! Now you have blocked them in your need to either go out by foot or have a few large drinks so you can't move your car!

Why didn’t you just say “no not sorry. I need you to move your car. It’s my space”

Bloody cheek! Is it your private driveway or a shared car park with numbered spaces? Did you see where they walked off to?

Were they male or female?
Is it a drive or a private space that isn’t right outside your front door so they don’t know which home is yours?
It would make a difference tbh as to what I would do but good on you! Let us know how it goes.

Good for you! Cheers! No enjoy your double gin and tonic so you can’t move your car when they return 🍻

I'm raging for you!

I'd block them in and not need to go out again for a few days...........

This has happened to me but we just told them and they moved the car.
If they don't move the car after you tell them, that is very strange, and they are being very disrespectful.

Totally let the tyres down but just a bit....

They managed to get out and left a note saying it didn't say private (I told them it was private and there are 4 signs up all over the car park saying private parking).

It's the entitlement that gets to me. "I don't care that it's your space, it doesn't say private over this specific spot so I'm still going to park here". I told them we pay to have that space.

When they return, wave an empty wine glass at them, 'sorry, I'm over the limit!'

Same as other posters have said, I'd block them in and take my sweet time moving. I'm off work for the summer holidays now so it could be several days before I actually need to use my car again.

They managed to get out

Arrrgggh that's so bloody frustrating. Cheeky fucker won't now think twice about doing it again.

Get thee some penguins ASAP.
