My first parking thread!

[SharronNeedles]

So, I'm off work on annual leave with DS. Just been out for the day and just got home to find that it's school run time. We live near a first school so obviously the streets are lined with cars. Someone has parked on my drive and someone else is blocking them in!
Now I imagine that as no one is ever here during the day, these people have been doing this for some time (we've only lived here 3 months and the house was emtpy for a year before that). I've squeezed in beside the car blocking the drive so they won't be able to get our (remember the scene from Friends with Ross's sports car?) and therefore the car on my drive can't escape either.
AIBU to just sit here with a cuppa and watch this all play out while pretending not to be in?

I love this thread! You need to ask your neighbour not to move for them either!

Honey Badger - seriously. Even though it's privately owned land?? That's mental.
Mind you law probably assumes no one would be that insane. Blocking the drive that isn't yours is illegal.

Honeybadger is that because its a civil offence (trespass) rather than a criminal one?

Stick a similar note on their windscreens

OP, what's occurring?

Sorry,

Who owns the red car to the left of the pic? If that is a school mum or dad, surely if they move off so can everyone else?

I am sure I am missing some very important facts here though!

Are they still there OP??

Why arent they asking red car to move to? Surely red car is blocking them in just as much as pink car

Absolutely loving this. I agree with what others have said - don't answer the door and let the silly women call the police. Idiots.

Is there any way to ensure that Redcar doesn't move?

Whose is the other cR block8ng the orange one in?

Op stated earlier, the red car belongs to another neighbour
They never move it

OP said red car belongs to neighbours, who are seldom in.

I cannot believe the nerve of some people,I hope you've had a bloody good go at them OP!

CF's!

Red Car is OP's neighbour who isn't currently home. I guess that since Pink Car has only just appeared while they've been gone, they're assuming its owner must be nearby.

Brilliant

This is amazing! I love that OP has managed to block them whilst still parking perfectly legitimately

Red car is other neighbour I think.

Red car belongs to the neighbour and OP said they’re never in (so presumably won’t be moving any time soon!)

This is amazing. Well done OP.

What’s happened??!!

Fabulous. I’d skim read and missed that Red Car was a neighbours one.

I love that you've blocked them in. That note, rude CFers!

Best parking thread yet.

honeylulu , yep, civil offence. I used to have a real problem with people parking on my private land and nothing I could/can do about it (other than penguin bollards! Ha!).
