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?

@MrsJackGrealish

Dare ya to put a note on the car.

"We are on holiday."

Freak em out a bit.

Add note... We were late leaving for our holiday. We'll be back in 2 weeks

Or put some suitcases outside your front door

I need to make my lunch for work tomorrow and wash my hair but now I have this instead. Priorities. 🍿

BarbaraofSeville · 23/07/2021 22:27

I'm confused as to why they thought we were on holiday though

And why they thought that meant it was OK to use your driveway.

Happyinheels · 23/07/2021 22:27

I'm wayyyyy too invested in this!

Snaketime · 23/07/2021 22:28

Haha OP that is hilarious. I hope they don't just leave the car on your drive so they don't have to knock on your door.

Akire · 23/07/2021 22:28

Excellent! They can’t leave it much later you be off to bed. It’s now or leave it park over weekend, hid behind hedge and pounce when you go out. Grin

TheSunShinesBrighter · 23/07/2021 22:28

That’s so funny OP!
Will they come back? Did you see where they went?

At least they have a conscience (shit shit shit!).

Now... do you
a) make them suffer and pretend to be out/too drunk to open the door/asleep
Or
b) let the off the hook after they grovel fir their life?

Omg this is hilarious. Cheeky fuckers!

MrsJackGrealish · 23/07/2021 22:28

@BruceAndNosh

Even better.

7wondersofthewold · 23/07/2021 22:28

Are they taking it in turns to walk past every 5 minutes now to see if your car has moved?

kensington09 · 23/07/2021 22:29

Waiting eagerly for next update....

viques · 23/07/2021 22:30

So excited! Late to the thread and it is still going strong, what a treat, a live parking thread.

EastWestWhosBest · 23/07/2021 22:30

Oh I love this.

TheSunShinesBrighter · 23/07/2021 22:30

You could of course not use your car for the next fortnight. Go on holiday...
Oh I wish you could do that!

UftUft · 23/07/2021 22:31

@7wondersofthewold

They have done just that!

Lol, now turn off all your lights and snigger Grin

7wondersofthewold · 23/07/2021 22:32

Pretend you have gone on holiday and the garage has left your car back after fixing it. Stick a note on the car saying

Problem with the head gasket all sorted now. Car should be good for when you get back from holiday. Give us a call if any problems.
