Would you block her in?

[awaywiththefae]

I’m WFH and just taking my lunch so thought I’d also whip the bin out. As I do, a car crawls past and then reverses into our parking spot. (It’s our private spot and has our number sprayed in it as well as a sign saying ‘Private parking for number 30’) A woman gets out so I said “Excuse me, sorry you can’t park there” she looks and me and just wanders off up the street.

I mean, I get she might not have realised (although the sign is big and prominent) but to be told and then still walk off without moving - the cheek.

I was a bit taken aback if I’m honest so went back in the house and then I thought, no sod this and I went and knocked on the door of the house she went in, I waited a bit but no one answered!

I wouldn’t mind as such if someone was quickly dropping something off but she’s obviously stopping for a bit. The annoying thing too is the house she’s gone in has a driveway and there’s room for this visitor on it. So I’m a bit to why she’s parked in our private bay.

Grrr, I can’t keep knocking as going back to work (WFH) in a bit, so would I be unreasonable to just block her in with my car? I feel like I need to make a point

My CF neighbour's visitor has just left a car on our private driveway just outside our front door.

I think they may be selling their car and gone off for a test drive so am sure they won't be there too long so I don't really care but it is still a bit of a liberty. Shame I'm so unpopular I don't have a visitor to block them in!! I don't know why but I hate opening my front door and seeing someone else's car parked on my property without permission!!

@awaywiththefae

The whole thread is seriously pathetic, based on someone parking in an empty parking space that no-one was wanting to use at the time.

Doesn’t matter though it’s our space. If you had a drive and it’s empty it doesn’t mean that someone could park on it.

Exactly. It’s included as part of the property that was paid for, They may as well have brought and put up a deckchair in the OP’s garden and sat with a beer

She went hours ago.

Awesome.

I don't invest much time or effort past first posts.

It makes me laugh how people read a whole thread, don’t enjoy/get it and still have the time and energy to write a moany comment!

Great, isn't it?! "This is pointless and you're all wasting your time on nothing - so I've come to waste my time to join this 'pointless' thread and put you all to rights!"

I have no interest in football, so I'm off now to hunt down a forum somewhere for football fans - then I'm going to spend my time joining it, reading through it (yawn) and then tell all the people on it how jolly wrong they are to be interested in something that bores me so much. I mean, other than just ignoring it and finding something else that does interest me, what else could I possibly do?!

@Crankley I think you've been forgetting to wash the fruits and veggies before eating them

Your neighbour is clearly moronic. So you pay for designated parking and they think their pals can use it when it suits them?

oh bore off and go and reinvent penicillin or something.

😂😂

I love a good parking thread - thank you 😊

I do love a parking thread - thank you op. I was obsessive about mine when we lived in a flat. I once woke a couple up at 3am as I'd come back home to find them in my space!

You need to get a reputation for being a pain in the arse. My neighbours never let their visitors park in my space as I was known to come storming round.

But no one should park in a space that's not their own!

If someone told me I’d parked on their land I’d move!! No way would I just walk off.

No one wants your concertos here, Mary.

Brilliant, @tallduckandhandsome

Thanks 😂

Well I assume you're not using your toilet for most of the day so why not offer it up for public use?

Are you still working on the updated diagram OP? Can we see it please?

Are you using that space at the end of your sofa?

No? OK, I'll just park my slovenly arse in it then...you don't mind if I eat chocolate, burp and fart do you?

See - It's not so nice having YOUR space invaded.

OP, 10/10 for diagrams and updates.🚗

@Summernamechange2021

Are you still working on the updated diagram OP? Can we see it please?

Oops sorry my Mum called and I totally forgot to upload it 🤣

Can confirm both cars still there. It’s like a stand off 🤣

Thank you, its much clearer now with the diagram

Brilliant thread.
Love the stand off.
Keep us updated

And yet here you are ...

Seriously WHY do people do this? Go on AIBU, click on a thread, read it, and then take the time to post on it, saying what a waste of time it is???!!! Baffling!

I can't remember - is OG CF still in nice neighbour's space?

How long before someone calls the police to report a car blocking half the road...?

Odd he hasn’t said anything

@dapsnotplimsolls

I can't remember - is OG CF still in nice neighbour's space?

Ignore me, I've checked back and she's gone!

Surely CF neighbour is blocking the highway.... Report an abandoned car 😂

This is hilarious. Love your nice neighbour for joining in. Waiting for the next move!

Can I just say though, for all those posters having their own little private spat and trying to derail the thread, I expect that like me, every other poster is just scrolling on by and completely ignoring you so you might as well message each other privately and fuck off the thread.
