My first parking thread!

SharronNeedles · 15/06/2018 15:33

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?

Oh I fucking love your neighbour Grin

LandOfOddSocks · 15/06/2018 16:37

Mwahahaaa your neighbour is amazing for playing along.

I bet they won't park on your drive next week! Smile

MadMags · 15/06/2018 16:37

DON'T MOVE YOUR CAR!!!

Phone up and get them towed.

Your note must have been eaten by the dog...

siwel123 · 15/06/2018 16:37

Wow I'll live love love your neighbour.
You can't tow them I am afraid but leave them blocked in until tomorrow I say

spiderlight · 15/06/2018 16:37

I bloody LOVE your neighbour!!

Tartyflette · 15/06/2018 16:37

Aw shucks. Ring non-emergency number 101 and ask for advice? esp since one is parked across a cropped curb.

fourcorneredcircle · 15/06/2018 16:37

Move the car just enough so they can get out... put some leaves etc. Round so their partner/friends think they are pathetic useless drivers.

SoupDragon · 15/06/2018 16:37

OP, your neighbour is awesome.

MustBeThin · 15/06/2018 16:37

YES.....a parking thread! 😃 just what I needed to keep me entertained while OH watches the footy.

itstimeforanamechange · 15/06/2018 16:37

Don't move your car! Just leave a note on theirs asking why they are parked on/blocking your drive and can they not do it again please?

Move it when you need to move it. If that's not until tomorrow morning, well....

GlassSuppers · 15/06/2018 16:37

That's hilarious!!
Please just move a few feet back so that they can get out to make it look massively exaggerated Grin

JobHunting4 · 15/06/2018 16:37

Did they offer her an explanation as to why they’re on your god damn drive?

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 15/06/2018 16:38

Leave your car there as you're not breaking any laws.

itstimeforanamechange · 15/06/2018 16:38

And yes your neighbour is awesome!

StaplesCorner · 15/06/2018 16:38

...give them a chance to apologise profusely for parking on your drive - however this thread turns out, that aint gonna be it.

SillyMoomin · 15/06/2018 16:38

definitely ring up and get them towed. Imagine when they get home and 1) their cards aren't there
2) your pink car is magically back on your drive

(!!!!!)

Ginosaji · 15/06/2018 16:38

Do NOT move your car op! We can all chip in for a taxi if you need to go anywhere, mind you thats assuming you have a back way to sneak out of, or maybe your neighbour will let you get iver the garden fence and leave from here house 😂

Dinahjoe · 15/06/2018 16:38

Surely that won't leave their cars, maybe they will come back under cover of dark

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 15/06/2018 16:39

Pva glue +note that says
YOU ARE CHEEKY FUCKERS
on the windscreen.

Helloisitteaurlookingfor · 15/06/2018 16:39

Your neighbour is amazing.

You need a new car as you can never ever move your pink car again. Grin

juneybean · 15/06/2018 16:39

Your neighbour is definitely a mumsnetter

intheloop12 · 15/06/2018 16:39

Cheeky bastards. Know anyone with a clamp? Grin

SneakyGremlins · 15/06/2018 16:39

DO

NOT

MOVE

YOUR

CAR

Threeguysmommy · 15/06/2018 16:39

I’d say leave a note on both cars requesting that they don’t use /block your driveway again. I’d move your car whenever it’s convenient for you

TimeIhadaNameChange · 15/06/2018 16:39

I think you should creep off over the back and go away for the weekend.
