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

Update please and shocked as CF here

Gothambutnotahamster · 19/08/2023 20:10

Im another who is glad have blocked them in. Your friends sounds like a total user!

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?

Ignore me, clearly I'm too much of a pushover reading all the ops updates and replies. Awaiting update for what happened when they returned 👀

Mylovelygreendress · 19/08/2023 20:13

I love a parking thread ! And wine 🍷

DinoMummsy · 19/08/2023 20:14

Do it, but make sure you unplug doorbell. Enjoy your wine!

HideousKinky · 19/08/2023 20:15

Their behaviour is outrageous

nocoolnamesleft · 19/08/2023 20:17

It is tragic that, as you have had a couple of glasses of wine, you are completely unable to move your car. Ah well, never mind.

Ketzele · 19/08/2023 20:18

I think they've come back, seen they're blocked in and have retreated to the pub to bitch about OP!

Oysterbabe · 19/08/2023 20:23

Ah my favourite type of thread. I await the update :D

Ghilli · 19/08/2023 20:25

Shameless placemarking. I love a CF parking thread. The pet grooming one was epic.

Oysterbabe · 19/08/2023 20:25

Cosycover · 19/08/2023 20:29

Love these threads.
Please update soon 🙏

TrundleWheel · 19/08/2023 20:31

The cheeky bitches!

Well done for blocking them in OP.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 19/08/2023 20:33

How long does a fete last? Round here it’s 2-4pm

Trez1510 · 19/08/2023 20:34

I reckon they've decided just to get properly drunk, get cabs home and collect their vehicles when OP is at work tomorrow.

That would be my game plan at this stage.

Beaverbridge · 19/08/2023 20:34

I think main CF has been showing off to other friends by telling them to park there. Onyhoo what's happening now?

I think you could be right with this!

Shamelessly waiting for an update 🍿
