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?

There should be a parking topic!

SheilaWilcox · 24/07/2021 00:13

If they've got any sense, they'll stick a note through your door with an apology and a mobile number, saying they'll move the car whenever you call, but they didn't want to disturb you so late.

But then, if they had any sense, they wouldn't be in this mess!

Glad you're seeing the funny side rather than letting the CFs wind you up.

There should definitely be a parking topic.

Justcashnosweets · 24/07/2021 00:16

I can't stop laughing at your DH in a hazmat suit 🤣🤣🤣 best thread ever!

Chatterboxy · 24/07/2021 00:17

This is brilliant! 😂

Cleverpolly3 · 24/07/2021 00:20

They’re just extending and super basementing the hole they’ve already dug themselves now aren’t they?

At some point they’ll have to grow a pair

nocoolnamesleft · 24/07/2021 00:20

Your DH will have melted in his hazmat suit if they don't ring soon.

Buttonmoonmrspoon · 24/07/2021 00:20

I got so invested in this, and now there’s no end! It’s such a cliffhanger!

romdowa · 24/07/2021 00:20

This is mn gold! 🤣🤣 can't believe they still haven't knocked.

EyesOpening · 24/07/2021 00:21

@UftUft

UPDATE!

They are lingering outside again, trying to decide who is going to knock...
We've turned off the lights

you should turn the lights ON!

When they eventually make contact, definitely tell them you don’t live there, you’re just using the house as the owners are on holiday and you don’t think they’d mind

Ha!

They were stupid not to knock when they first realised their mistake. It would have been fucking awkward but they could have apologised profusely and then moved the car. Now they've left it till after midnight, it is really too late to knock. They need to wait until the morning, and hope like hell that you go out so that they don't have to face you!

Rifalo · 24/07/2021 00:24

So blatantly place marking

UftUft · 24/07/2021 00:24

Quick update... its slightly escalated...

Knock on the door, DH goes to the door in the hazmat suit, it was the police. I've snuck into the kitchen to update! I'm going to go rescue him... Will let you all know what happens.

The fucking police? Wow, the fucking cheek. Actually quite angry now. I think you should have set it on fire.
AhCheeses · 24/07/2021 00:25

I have nothing useful to say... I just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent diagram skills. Top notch. 10/10 ⭐️

Sparklfairy · 24/07/2021 00:25

they called the police on you!?!?!

CanofCant · 24/07/2021 00:25

Cowardly pricks.

Janeyem · 24/07/2021 00:26

I never stay up this late but am gripped and have to know what is happening!!

JesusIsAnyNameFree · 24/07/2021 00:26

@CanofCant

Cowardly pricks.
Yeah, seriously. Horrible little boys.
AlexaShutUp · 24/07/2021 00:26

The police? Wtf! What a stupid waste of police time when they could have just knocked on the door themselves. What utter cowards!

CanofCant · 24/07/2021 00:27

I wonder what they have said for the police to bother getting involved? I hope they are bollocked for wasting their time.

EyesOpening · 24/07/2021 00:28

I think this sort of thing is going to happen more and more, with all the dropped kerbs. Round the corner from me, they recently cut into the pavement, due to issues with the bus getting past the parked cars and left only 5 parking spaces, now a new resident has had their front garden turned into a drive which will take up two of those spaces, although the kerb hasn't been dropped yet
