Random car parked on my drive!

dh has just come back from work and parked across the road. I asked why he hasn't parked on our driveway and he said he thought we had visitors.
I've gone out and there's a random car on our driveway! Knocked on neighbours door but they don't know who's it is. (They are really nice and we get on with them so they would have told them to move if it was anything to do with them).
AIBU to move the car and block them in?

Absolutely not unreasonable. I would do it. 😄

Yes absolutely block them in.

OMG another parking thread!!! 🍷 🍿

No YANBU.

Block them in, close your curtains and enjoy your Friday night!

I honestly can’t believe that anyone would have the audacity to park on someone’s drive!!

Isbobmyuncle · 23/07/2021 20:43

Definitely block them in

SassyPants87 · 23/07/2021 20:43

Defo block them in!

BMW6 · 23/07/2021 20:43

Block and have a drink or two (or claim to have when the CF knocks to be let out)

HappyBirthdayMrPresident · 23/07/2021 20:43

Whoop another parking thread we are being spoiled today Grin

BlowDryRat · 23/07/2021 20:44

YANBU. Do it and then don't answer when they knock/pretend to have had a drink so you can't move the car.

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 23/07/2021 20:44

It must be National block a drive day, I just read another thread about a CF parker Grin

SnarkyBag · 23/07/2021 20:45

Yes block them in and go to bed

BlowDryRat · 23/07/2021 20:45

Or just pretend you don't know whose car it is that's blocking them in Grin

GintyMcGinty · 23/07/2021 20:45

Your DJ needs to move your car to block this car in

GintyMcGinty · 23/07/2021 20:46

DH not DJ

Paq · 23/07/2021 20:46

Yay! Friday night parking thread🥰🍿don't let us down OP. We want a diagram. It's the rule.

WTFisNext · 23/07/2021 20:46

I'm a bit more evil. I'd bounce the car off my drive until it was in the middle of the road and let them reap the consequences of it being towed away by highways/police. Handbrakes aren't often set to the highest resistance so you'd be surprised how easy it can be to just shove a car out of the way!

The only time it's almost impossible is if it's an automatic put into park or an old school driver like my dad who purposefully leaves it in gear when parked (probably because of petty folk like me).

Ijustlikedthename · 23/07/2021 20:46

I would block them in!

30degreesandmeltinghere · 23/07/2021 20:47

Print off a fake parking charge notice... Sellotape it very enthusiastically on the windscreen

Daisychaincarrot · 23/07/2021 20:48

Do you have a diagram? Thems the rules

JayAlfredPrufrock · 23/07/2021 20:48

One of the first threads I read on here was a random car parked on Pagwatch’s drive.

sleepylittlebunnies · 23/07/2021 20:48

YANBU. I would definitely block them in, at the very least they then have to knock on your door. What a cheek!

EnjoyingTheSilence · 23/07/2021 20:49

Def block em in!
