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!!!

Well now I’m invested.

Here for the update 😁

Ooh I love a CF thread and I love a parking thread. Might pour myself a wine and settle in!

I live for these sort of threads 😁

These are my favourite kind of parking thread!

Hope you’re having a lovely afternoon @bubblesforbreakfast . There’s something quintessentially English Village Fete about drinking warm white wine in a big tent!

I'm oddly invested in the outcome.

I am very invested in what happens later!

I’m just sad it’s not as sunny as it is here OP- have a lovely day!

Place marking for the update.

Pressure wash your drive. Always makes a mess of any nearby car.

Very excited about this. It's exactly what I'd have done too. Cheers OP, enjoy all that lovely warm wine 😘

Made me laugh. How insanely rude of them!

In our old house our garage and drive were attached to next doors. When my mother first visited she assumed our drive was a double garage/drive and parked on their side. Could it be something alone these lines?

If they've genuinely just parking on someone else's drive and decided that's acceptable I'd be inclined to leave them blocked in all night!

Oh my word...who parks on a random drive. 💯 % YANBU OP

I think it's Lee Murr working today

This feels very Midsummer Misdemeanours.

Can’t wait to find out how it all ends 😂

I'm also invested. Well done, OP. There's nothing quite like a Sunday afternoon CF parking thread.

Has your husband also had a nice tepid alcoholic beverage or two? I do hope so.

Here for the outcome!

It’s a village fete. Villages don’t have traffic wardens.

Shamelessly following for the conclusion!

Hoping that your lovely friends will invite you back to theirs after the fete, thereby delaying for a few hours your return home.

This will, of course, prolong the agony for all of us who are thoroughly invested in this scenario, but it would be SO worth it!!!!!

Well done for blocking them OP. I used to live in a school street and was regularly blocked in by arsehole lazy parents on the school run. I always kind of hoped one of them would go a step further and actually park in the drive so I could dish out a taste of their own medicine like this. I would never live near a school again.

Op. Don't drink and drive 😀you absolutely cannot move the car now you've had wine

Great update. Although this feels like a Netflix limited series and I've got to wait for a week to find out what happens.

Excellent!
