People Using my drive

It's our village fete today, never go because we work Saturday's, I started work first left in my car, DH about 30 mins later in his, leaving one on the drive, got home first to find 3 cars on my drive, one of them I know belongs to a friend, other two do not recognise.

Rang friend to ask if she knew who the others belonged to (as a bit annoyed she had not even asked if she could use my drive for her's ) to be told yes they belong to school mum friends of hers and she knew we would be at work so did not see a problem telling them to park there.

Pointed out I only just managed to get on my own drive and DH will be home shortly and will need to park on the drive as the whole village is rammed with cars, to be told they will be gone by 6pm as just about to have food and a drink, asked for at least one to be moved to park on our own drive, to be told I am unreasonable and ruining it for them.

Very tempted to block one in and refuse to move until the morning because I am shattered, had a stupuidly busy day and just want to chill in my PJ's with food and a glass off wine

I’m sorry OP, but this is borderline ‘checking into hospital on Facebook and then not saying what’s wrong’ annoying….😅

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 20/08/2023 10:05

Zzzz

TheMerryWidow1 · 20/08/2023 10:10

Think op mentioned she was working today

zingally · 20/08/2023 10:16

So, what happened?!?

Iwantcakeeveryday · 20/08/2023 10:21

ah thats right, she's working today. Will probably be surprised at how many of us are desperately wanting an update!

WildFlowerBees · 20/08/2023 10:39

This is one of those didn't happen threads where the op makes up a fun story then conveniently stops updating.

GoingGoingUp · 20/08/2023 10:52

Reminds me of the rent not being paid thread…no more updates from right before the confrontation happens…

Perhaps in both cases the OP was kidnapped and held hostage by the person they were in conflict with and can't update, no matter how much they would love to.

Surely if you start a parking thread you should be morally obligated to bring us all closure ...

Monkelmo · 20/08/2023 11:04

@ihadamarveloustime yes, there should be some sort of yellow card system where we can vote to sin bin people who don't provide updates Grin

Scottishskifun · 20/08/2023 11:35

I really hope they were blocked in all evening!!!

Minfilia · 20/08/2023 11:39

OP moved her car to avoid drama and didn’t dare come back to update the thread…

I agree, this is very anticlimactic 🙄

Pompom2367 · 20/08/2023 12:20

Well done op that is so rude

Therealjudgejudy · 20/08/2023 12:24

Op was obviously lying about blocking them in. Who would REALLY do that? She moved the cars like a good girl. End of story!

Who remembers the parking saga on the Isle of Wight? The landlord of nearby flats had been renting out OP’s parking space…. And then when she got a car all hell let loose.
And then she bought some land and no one could park… it was brilliant.

Sisterpita · 20/08/2023 13:33

I want a link to the hazmat suit thread as I obviously missed it. I know the dog groomer, IoW and the CF male who sent his wife to collect the car. Plus my favourite were a CF school mum parked on a drive. The op and neighbour blocked her in, then the CF’ husband stupidly let the op’s tyres down.

ClairDeLaLune · 20/08/2023 13:38

OP don’t leave us this way!
