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?

@UftUft nahhh that seems too jokey!!!

Take it off and put something else on like:

"Tried to find the owner of your car but no luck and needed to take my sleeping tablet. Won't wake until mid morning"

We keep jumping to the curtains everytime we hear someone pass! Nothing yet though

Rubbish note OP, sorry. Firstly because you patently don’t have covid, secondly because the covid germs would blow away, thirdly because they’re probably double jabbed, fourthly because you’re obviously not sorry, and fifthly any message to the cheeky fuckers should be written on the windscreen in lipstick as per the rules.

@Bargebill19 the funny thing is, she told another neighbour it was on the road, but CCTV showed otherwise! Silly moo!! Glad she moved out!

Placemarking Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 21:57

@MaMelon @UftUft or don't say anything at all. Remove the note and sit in darkness lol! Let them think you've gone out!

LagunaBubbles · 23/07/2021 21:57

Seriously who would have the cheek to do this?

Cherrysoup · 23/07/2021 21:58

I've popped this on the car windscreen.

Wetting myself! 🤣

Terminallysleepdeprived · 23/07/2021 21:58

I have had a very long day manning a work stall at a very busy country show in over 30 degree heat...I make zero excuses for placemarking 🤣🤣

Howshouldibehave · 23/07/2021 21:58

Take the note away-they’ll think you find it funny.

They're still unable to leave unless someone moves to let them out? Get rid of that note and replace with the far more passive aggressive 'Sorry I got pinged earlier and couldn't get onto my drive as you'd parked over it. So now I'm stuck here for ten days. Do hope this doesn't cause you too much inconvenience'.

That’s one of the best CF parking diagrams I have ever seen.

ahoyshipmates · 23/07/2021 22:00

I seem to remember a thread a few years ago about someone who lived near an airport. Sometimes a random cf would park on their drive and go on holiday for a fortnight. They got fed up with it, lost their patience and called in a bricklayer friend, who built a wall across the entrance to the drive. With someone's car on the inside. Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 22:00

I'd honestly remove the note and just go away out for a walk or to the pub if you have one near you?

Oldbutstillgotit · 23/07/2021 22:01

Sorry don’t like the note . Too jokey .

Just opened another bottle of wine and DH is looking over his glasses at me in what I assume is a disapproving way.

Zakky12 · 23/07/2021 22:01

@theshadeofgreen

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

Me too! Enjoying this thread

UftUft · 23/07/2021 22:01

Took the note off!
NDN came out asking if we knew who's car it was yet.
Apparently somebody parked on theirs the other week...

I do hope you're not going to answer your door.

MotionActivatedDog · 23/07/2021 22:03

Was it the same car?

Bargebill19 · 23/07/2021 22:03

@UftUft

I can give you and your neighbour a discount on bulk buying of penguin bollards….

StoneofDestiny · 23/07/2021 22:03

I'd remove the note - sounds like you think it's funny rather than CF'ery. I'd be out when they want to shift it though

Happyinheels · 23/07/2021 22:04

I love the note on the car but. I think you should paint a Red Cross on your front door and post a big note on the door saying '4 active cases of Covid - self isolating. Please do not disturb.'

ReginaaPhalange · 23/07/2021 22:04

Ooohhhhhhh get some chocolate spread and put it in the door handles 🤣🤣🤣

I read about someone who got a pile of builders material (tonne bag of sand/rubble or similar) delivered behind the car on the drive, in similar circumstances.
