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?

Getting the popcorn out…

Definitely block them in then 'be out' for the night.

EastWestWhosBest · 23/07/2021 21:08

So it is blocked in now?

You say you can’t see the drive from the house, but will you see people approaching?

Stick some "Danger: Contaminated Area" signs up on your outside wall and come to the door in full PPE when they knock.

Not place marking just coming on to say awesome diagram Grin

MoorGirl · 23/07/2021 21:09

Place marking!

BarbaraofSeville · 23/07/2021 21:09

Who does that? I hope you and DH are on the booze now so you couldn't possibly move any cars.

Trouble is that, most of the time it is selfish twats that do this sort of thing, but if you do take action by blocking them in and getting pissed, it's the one time that it's a carer or doctor who's in a rush to help an old lady who's fallen over and then you feel like a bad person.

@Happyinheels

Today is the day that just keeps on giving! Another parking thread - pours the largest glass of wine and settles in - block the CF's in for sure!
This! So happy now
Oldbutstillgotit · 23/07/2021 21:10

2 parking threads in one day . We are being spoiled < tops up wine>

NeverMetANiceOne · 23/07/2021 21:10

Have you had a glass of wine yet OP?

MotionActivatedDog · 23/07/2021 21:11

It must be national “be an asshole with your car” day. 3 times inside half an hour o had cars just pull out right infront of me without looking and now we have TWO parking threads on MN! Grin it’s great!

Whinginadeville · 23/07/2021 21:11

Just parking this comment

Howshouldibehave · 23/07/2021 21:11

The last thread I read like this, the OP had blocked the CF in but they still managed to sneakily drive out past them somehow!

Don’t let them drive out without making them knock to apologise, OP!!

Sexnotgender · 23/07/2021 21:12

Definitely block them in!

Passthecake30 · 23/07/2021 21:12

Fantastic Drawing OP. I’m not place marking Blush

feathermucker · 23/07/2021 21:12

Cheekyfuckery at it's finest.

MurielSpriggs · 23/07/2021 21:13

Baffling that they'd do that when there was actually space to park on the street (as evidenced by your darling husband successfully doing so!)

Miraloma · 23/07/2021 21:13

It IS NATIONAL CF DRIVEWAY BEHAVIOUR DAY!

Can I share mine here? I've just redeployed it but feel anxious i did it wrong!

IndieR22 · 23/07/2021 21:13

How do I find these other parking threads that have been mentioned? 🤔

Sunbird24 · 23/07/2021 21:14

Or ‘Quarantining due to confirmed covid’…

I did giggle at the fill the car with spiders baked beans comment Grin
