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?

A crime scene sketch of them would be perfect.

doodleZ1 · 23/07/2021 22:34

OP did you get any idea of their age?

@7wondersofthewold

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.

Get all of your lights off now and get into bed!

GetOffThatTable · 23/07/2021 22:34

Put a note on saying No We Are Not On Holiday!

Make them sweat even more Grin

Leftbutcameback · 23/07/2021 22:35

So now the question is did they get the wrong house? Or did they think you were on holiday (weird)? And if they got the wrong house had they arranged to park their car there? One is a mistake, the other scenario is cheeky-fuckery. OP - if they tell you it's a mistake and grovel what will you do?

lastcall · 23/07/2021 22:35

Hilarious. They'll have to reappear at some point.

stevalnamechanger · 23/07/2021 22:35

Can't wait to hear how this plays out !

TheCrowening · 23/07/2021 22:36

You are definitely on holiday for the next two weeks…

Leftbutcameback · 23/07/2021 22:36

And where do you think they've been OP? Are they dressed for a day out?

Couldhavebeenme2 · 23/07/2021 22:36

OP I think I love you

TamborineMan · 23/07/2021 22:36

Pleeeeease come back to tell us how this all ends. Transcript of awkward conversation whether tonight or tomorrow!

SixesAndEights · 23/07/2021 22:37

We're really being treated tonight!!!

MotionActivatedDog · 23/07/2021 22:37

Haaaahahaha!!

Add to the note “back in 2 weeks”

Grin
QueenBee52 · 23/07/2021 22:37

🤣😂

TheDogsMother · 23/07/2021 22:37

This is brilliant OP. I'm so happy I have found this thread and it has been the perfect accompaniment to my glass of wine.

Figgygal · 23/07/2021 22:38

Looool love the note
Cheeky fuckers

GellerYeller · 23/07/2021 22:38

Surely Bob of Abc mechanics couldn't get the part needed so you can't use it for two weeks while he goes on holiday? He'll be back with his truck to take it in then as it can't be driven. That's the note you need to leave surely?

Questionablecheese · 23/07/2021 22:39

🤣🤣

starfishmummy · 23/07/2021 22:40

@Cherrysoup

Even if they thought you were on holiday, why would they cheekily park on your drive? This is a very exciting parking thread!
Where I used to live neighbours were always doing this if people were away. To have somewhere to park for a while and to make the house look occupied. Except once we came back early, had to park down the road as the neighbours had visitors. They then came charging round because they heard us in the house and thought we were burglars.
MrsJackGrealish · 23/07/2021 22:40

I was planning an early night but fuck it, this is more important.

Would love to be there to see the awkward knocking on the door.

UftUft · 23/07/2021 22:40

Not come back yet so I drew a picture of the crime scene...

Ooh this could be better than the H bar thread.

The diagram of you on the sofa 🤣🤣.

MotionActivatedDog · 23/07/2021 22:42

Look how far up your drive they parked!!

I wonder which house they meant to park at.
