There's a CF parked in my drive

[bubblesforbreakfast]

Village fete day. Parking's a nightmare. Come back from my food shop to find some CF has parked on my drive. So I parked across my drive (dropped kerb but no double yellows or white driveway signs) to put my shopping away. Nearest proper parking is going to be a 5-10 min walk away I reckon - it's heaving! No specific AIBU but I know you lot love a parking drama.
Can I leave my car infront of the driveway and head out to the fete? It would block the car in ... but there's no note, no blue badge etc ... can I get a parking fine?
My DH thinks we should park properly and walk back in but tbh im enraged someone parked on my drive!!!

Excellent! Enjoy your day. Here for your GoFundMe ticket fine if necessary 😂

🍿

Well done OP! Have a lovely afternoon!

Well done dd. When you get back and if they are waiting to get out, ask them to get off your property and tell them it is your brothers car, he is away to the nearest city, drinking, can't drive and you don't have keys. You told him he could park over the drive as you were not planning to go anywhere tonight and he is not due back until tomorrow.

Yes, leave the number for London Zoo and tell them they need to speak to C Lyons. Or G Raaf. Or maybe Anne Tilope.

Good Lord, where do these people come from?? That is beyond CF and more like deranged so I would make sure you are not alone when you have to interact with them

You’ve brought dd up well!

Surely its someone you know? Nobody is CFery enough to park on a random driveway in the real world are they?

.

Make sure you and all drivers at least 3 times over the limit and can't possibly move the car until midday tomorrow.

None of our lives will be able to complete without you coming back to provide further updates so please see that you do! 😂

Settles in with snacks....

Cheers OP, enjoy your wine!😁

This has made my day 😂

You need to not have access to keys when they get back,
'oh yes, we had told Uncle Geoffrey he could use the drive, so it's his car, he's gone to Australia to his sisters, back in 6 weeks. He forgot to leave his keys 🔑 I'm afraid neither car are moving.' 🤣

Definitely block them in!

Only here for the update. Well done OP

Ooh I so rarely arrive on these threads when they're ongoing! Can't wait for the further updates!

My favourite ever parking thread was the one where the Ops's dog had its own bedroom and there were plague pits next door. *

*In other words...filling in time until the update

I’m invested!

I feel your pain though OP, I live in a cathedral city and my road is the closest to the centre without parking permits needed. There’s a festival this weekend and can’t park on my street for love nor money because of CFers not only taking up all the legit parking spaces but also every other nook and cranny they can (illegally) park their cars in!

There are at least six weekends a year where this is the case.

Are you in a village starting with M OP?

Interested to hear the fallout 😆

OP, you are spectacular

Oh what a shame you've had too much alcohol to move your car...

Such a shame

I am fully invested.
