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 am going to be extraordinarily disappointed if this ends up with you tamely moving your car for them OP.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 23/07/2021 21:45

it continues to flabber my ghast why people think they are so flipping special that they get to park wherever they feel suits them best. CF is way too tame a name for these utter bastards.

Settled in, OP. I'd make sure to fill a glass with something and have it on standby for when you do get the knock on the door, and practice swaying and slurring. That is required on a Friday night parking thread :)

Oooo another one !!

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 23/07/2021 21:47

Yippeee, placemarking 😆

Friday night drama ☺️

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 21:47

Just be ready for an excuse as to why they can't move your car as you've had wine when they come to the door.

@ Mrgrinch
I used to think like you until a couple of years ago when our NDN parked on our driveway as we were out and they didn’t think we would mind ! Not once but several times …..

Had another Gin can you remove fence panel, put it between your cars. Swear blind that your garden starts there.

@Happyinheels

When they have to knock on your door to ask you if you would mind moving your car off your drive so they can get their car off your drive say that it's not your car and you've no idea whose car it is because you've got major issues with entitled cf's thinking they can just park their cars on your PRIVATE driveway!!

Can you tell the wine is kicking in yet???

Absolutely 100% this!!!
AdaFuckingShelby · 23/07/2021 21:49

I love the idea of denying it's your car parked behind them Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 21:50

@Oldbutstillgotit my ex ndn used to do it too when we were on holiday and use our bins! Flat out denied it, even with CCTV!

Last time we went on holiday (2019) my DH put nails on the drive and she got a nail through her £210 naiiiiceeee tyre! We just remembered to sweep the drive when we got back!

KindleAndCake · 23/07/2021 21:50

Blatant placemark

snapple21 · 23/07/2021 21:51

Shamelessly placemarking. The audacity of some people!

I've popped this on the car windscreen...

Another working thread!! Grin well this is literally the best Friday I've had since 2016.

Wakeupin2022 · 23/07/2021 21:51

DH came home from night shift to find a random car parked on our drive Shock

I think my pissed off reaction when he asked if we had visitors was enough to convince him of my innocence Grin
