Come home from school run to someone parked on my private parking.

I've blocked them in as there's nowhere else for me to park and left a note to say I next plan to move my car tomorrow AM.

Cheeky fucker hasn't returned yet.

ThreeLittleDots · 24/09/2021 16:54

Oh! So when neighbour returns home Dick will definitely be stuck

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 24/09/2021 16:54

settles in

Updated diagram is much better

AryaStarkWolf · 24/09/2021 16:54

@AlCalavicci

Ah that clearer , You say they can technically park on your neighbour's drive but wouldnt that cause your neighbour the same issue or are they family / friends ?
I thought she meant they could use the neighbours drive to get out from behind the OPs car?

One question on the diagrams. How do you know the car belongs to a bloke named Dick?

I had one park their car on our private road for 2 weeks. (We are near a major train station and I think they pissed off on holiday). I put signs all over the car saying it had been reported for being abandoned and smeared vaseline under the door handles.

[In other words... placemarking]

DominicRaabsTravelAgent · 24/09/2021 16:59

Updated diagram is much better OP.

definitely not placemarking

CoffeeRunner · 24/09/2021 16:59

Ooo. Glass of wine poured I hope? Even if only for display purposes when Dick knocks your door...

@NotPersephone

Preferred the insouciant shit-ness of your first diagram tbh OP! Grin

Obviously, he is a dick and I’m now totally invested.

Yes, I liked the "US HOE", too
MrsRobbieHart · 24/09/2021 17:01

Not at all placemakring. Grin

Devonchills · 24/09/2021 17:02

This the most excitement I've had on a Friday night for ages!

QuestionEverythingBaby · 24/09/2021 17:02

Wonder who Dick is? Do you think he’s visiting a neighbour or do you have shops etc near you, OP?

LakieLady · 24/09/2021 17:03

Does your Ring Cam (fnarr fnarr) record, OP?

If so, you could upload the footage of Dick's return and ensuing discussion to YT for our delight.

Anyway, best get some wine down you sharpish so that you absolutely can't move your car when the dick returns.

Threearm · 24/09/2021 17:03

Neighbour is now home. Dick is blocked

look at surprised and say

ask which there car is.
and then say

turn tell them to sort it out with the driver and storm off back in the house and slam the door

Anjo2011 · 24/09/2021 17:04

Dick on a Friday night, can’t all be bad.

QuestionEverythingBaby · 24/09/2021 17:04

Blocked Dick, my favourite kind.

MiddleClassProblem · 24/09/2021 17:05

Much better diagram. Your natural talents are far superior!

Window1 · 24/09/2021 17:06

@Twickerhun

Ooof a live thread. So is it obvious that they parked on private property?
Also interested in this point.
