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?

I only read through this to see if anyone had mentioned penguin bollards yet (yes, p8) but what a joy - OP you have made my night Grin Grin

Set up a baby monitor in a cone with some lighting for their return to rip into them via the guise of the parking god/ghost of parking present

Brilliant 🤣

We're giving it until midnight and then off to bed if they don't come.
They may have turned into a pumpkin by then! Blush

Looks like we’re all up til midnight then. 😂

BorderlineHappy · 23/07/2021 23:22

They are going to style it out till tomorrow.And they hope you will be gone out,so they never have to face you.[Grin]

MrsJackGrealish · 23/07/2021 23:22

Right, I'm getting some snacks then if I've gotta hold on til midnight.

UPDATE!!

Ok so it was 2 men talking earlier...
A female has come back with one of them, conversation went like this...

Female - 'You fcking kidding me you dick, not those neighbours the ones further down'
Male - you said no.** (our house)
Female - no I didn't cant you get anything right. You can knock and ask
Male - I'm not knocking, go get
to knock
Female - f*cking hell! (Goes off swearing and shouting).
Male lingered for a moment... he's followed her back down the road.

Now do I end their misery or not? 🤔

Wonderful
Kipperandarthur · 23/07/2021 23:24

This is hilarious. Car now facing the other way. I do think your DH should now get suitably attired in his hazmat suit and it will just cap the evening off.

Bargebill19 · 23/07/2021 23:27

This is just gold. Can it be nominated for classics. ?

Hodan85 · 23/07/2021 23:27

Amazing - you should nip round the corner when they're not looking and approach the house as they do, say "oh shit, sorry is this your house? We just parked here as we thought you were on holiday"

Finally, there's a benefit to being in New York! 😁

Watch out for an AIBU

"Told my husband to park on my friends drive to make it look like they are home whilst on holiday as a favour- he got the wrong house and now he is sulking, won't ring doorbell and it's down to me to once again sort it out because be doesn't listen! Now we are blocked onto a stranger's driveway at 11.30 pm. WIBU to LTB?"

Your diagram made me think your DH was hanging out the window watching them!

Outstanding behaviour turning the car around

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 23/07/2021 23:29

This thread is lovely - kudos, @UftUft!

You could stay up late and watch some of the Olympic coverage….

BillyRaywasapreachersson · 23/07/2021 23:29

Thank you op, for the great thread and excellent diagrams. Loving their consternation Grin
I did love the suggestion upthread to reconfigure your entire drive to hide their car with a fence panel.

Mummylovesmonkeys · 23/07/2021 23:31

@BruceAndNosh

Peer out bedroom window, check where they are and wait until they move away.

Use your car remote to unlock and relock your car, the hazard lights should flash.
Watch their reaction...

Loyaultemelie · 23/07/2021 23:32

I'm hoping your DH does jump out of a bush next time they come back. Bonus points if he's wearing the hazmat suit

MyGrassIsBrowner · 23/07/2021 23:34

Shameless placemarking. But how can I sleep now?! I'm hyped!
