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.

Are they still ringing the bell?

@onegreyhair

New to all this, how do I place mark? is it just making a comment and that marks where I've got to?
It's not necessary where you have read up to as others are posting at the same time. You read all then book mark. Then it takes you to where you were when you click on the title.

At the top or bottom of a thread there is a “watch this thread” link.

I’m on the edge of my seat!

SandraGreen · 24/09/2021 19:00

OP have you briefed your neighbour? Are they likely to let the fuckers out?

TopBlogger · 24/09/2021 19:00

It's a visitor to the house a couple down with no less than 6 vehicles. Cheeky fuckers

How do you know this?

Babymamma192 · 24/09/2021 19:03

@TopBlogger presuming she knows as she has a ring door bell.....think it shows you the door camera on your phone.

@NotPersephone

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

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

Me, too! I wasn't sure if 'Neigh' meant the house next door or Op's stable.
smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 24/09/2021 19:04

I find it so hard to believe that anyone would be this cheeky. I mean who thinks its ok to park on someone elses drive?

Whentheydontmeanwhattheysay · 24/09/2021 19:05

@onegreyhair @Kernowfornia then tap where you have read up to and ‘bookmark’ will show up as per pic one, click on that to save it and the thread will magically open up at that point next time.

when they come to the door

look at surprised and say

who the fuck are these two cars parked on my drive

ask which there car is
and then say

serves you right someones blocked you in

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

I now really want someone to park on my drive just so I can do this. Excellent way to piss off cf parkers.
Love a good parking thread, want my own soon. Loved the first diagram, the anger shone through.

AppleKatie · 24/09/2021 19:08

I don’t know how you have the resolve to ignore the doorbell, it might be my inner canine but I just can’t leave a door unanswered.

SouthSideSally · 24/09/2021 19:09

It's Friday evening. Surely you've already had a glass of wine or two!

StoneofDestiny · 24/09/2021 19:09

A blocked dick sounds serious 😂

I'd leave it there - bathing baby, early night, have been drinking so can't drive etc etc

Eileen101 · 24/09/2021 19:13

What's happening op??! Did they keep ringing the bell?

StoneofDestiny · 24/09/2021 19:14

If and when you do answer - be furious that they have woken your baby up etc - if they are not remorseful enough - take your time to find your keys, shoes etc etc ................like, a lot of time

AlCalavicci · 24/09/2021 19:16

@onegreyhair

CFer why cant he park on the road

AlCalavicci · 24/09/2021 19:18

Ah @Whentheydontmeanwhattheysay beat me to it

BonteGracieuse · 24/09/2021 19:19

Don't forget to have a glass of wine in had when you finally open the door, so that there's no way you can possibly drive your car now!

HannibalHayeski · 24/09/2021 19:19

It really was the stuff of utter legend.

I'm still very sad for the lovely OP of that one that her particular CF never really had the comeuppance he so richly deserved.

This one, however... excellent diagrams @Threearm - best wishes to you Wine[/quote]
I'm trying to remember the one where the CF tried to retrieve their car on the way back from the pub, and OP's husband answered the door wearing something akin to crime scene coveralls.

Henio · 24/09/2021 19:22

How would anyone EVER think its ok to park on a private drive 😂

pelosi · 24/09/2021 19:22

Glad they’re blocked in / dick blocked.

Loving insouciant shitness, that might be my mantra from now on.

AppleKatie that made me snort Grin

OP i think you deserve a long hot bath and a bottle of wine after your long week, don't you?
