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

He was partying with the local celeb footballer, and was bragging to OP’s brother….
I lived that thread and was far too invested in it…😂

It was possibly the most entertaining parking thread I've seen on here, although it lacked the lovely coda about the dog groomer running a business from his house, and his customers regularly blocking the street with their cars. The OP on that one reported him to the council, and they told him he couldn't run a business from there, so he moved away.

That kind of trumps getting someone's car moved imo.

JustACountryMusicGirlInCowboyBoots · 19/08/2023 19:47

I've eaten my popcorn already but here for the entertainment all the sane. Cheeky bastards!

LabRat90 · 19/08/2023 19:48

Have they come back yet?

Snazzysausage · 19/08/2023 19:50

Fantastic!No,I haven't got anything better to do except wait for the roast potatoes to finish. We've not had a good parking thread for ages.

"hi friend, if you had not been so rude on the phone I would have explained to you that DH and I are away for a week in Puerto Rico, no phone reception unfortch. Flight is tonight, have already left. We had to leave cars on drive, apologies for blocking you in but perhaps if you had asked in the first place this could have been avoided. Will send a postcard! Mwah! X"

Cheeky twat.

Oh this is brilliant!

Sasha19052 · 19/08/2023 19:52

Can it beat the thread with the husband dressing up in a Hazmat suit thinking it was the CFs, and opened the door to find it was the police 😂

determinedtomakethiswork · 19/08/2023 19:53

Good for you! They are so cheeky.

jlpth · 19/08/2023 19:53

I feel a bit sorry for the friends, because your friend has clearly told them it was ok. It’s your friend that’s the CF, not the two others who’ve taken the CF’s word for the parking being ok.

ImSoShiney · 19/08/2023 20:02

Shamelessly place marking 🙈

DinnaeFashYersel · 19/08/2023 20:02

Are they back yet? We need updates. 😄

ChuckMater · 19/08/2023 20:03

Could you not just block it in and then when they're back you can let them out and they can move their cars out?
