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?

Do you have a local 'parked like a knob' Facebook page too, you could post them in there as well

Love you and your neighbour, OP. Sometimes the best thing to do is ....absolutely nothing

Shameless follow, amazing!!

I reckon I could get them all to help! Theyll be able to see what the CFs have done and I'm sure they've all received their notes.
I live at the bottom of quite a long street too! I think we're some of the only ones on here who aren't retired so I'm sure the other neighboura get annoyed at pick up time anyways and would be happy to help!

2 weeks you say. Can you manage without a car for 2 weeks. Please...

Can you and your neighbour manage without your cars for the weekend? I think Monday morning is a reasonable time to "release" their cars!!

Well done your neighbour 😻😻

This is as good as the thread where a CF parked in the middle of 2 side by side allocated bays.
Nice Neighbour and NDN friend squeezed their cars in on either side of CF, (one reversed in) so that CF couldn't open either driver or passenger doors.
Then left their cars there for several days!

Clutterbugsmom - -brill suggestion!

Yes!! And add a photo of the cheeky ass note!!

Best thread for a long time 😂

Link to Miss Jolly thread please ?

But at some point you'll have to move your car. So you need to start thinking what to do then - ideally you don't want them to park on or blocking your drive in future.

So it might be time to consider printing appropriate notes for each car to advise them of the situation, before you actually move yours.

Miss Jolly thread turned really nasty IRL & was deleted iirc

Thank you for this I’ve had a bit of a shit week and a good parking thread is just what I need along with

I seriously don’t get why they haven’t knocked on your door.

Fantastic 🍾🍾🍾. Don't move your car - they'll never forget the pantomime they are starring in. Can't believe people think it's ok to dump motors on other people drives and block their driveways. Seriously- what planet are they on.

Yes, I think we need a go fund me to buy SharronNeedles a new car

Is it even possible/legal to get a car towed off your land? Who would you call for this?
Pretty sure it is possible for private land. Any tow truck company, car owners would have to pay tow company to release their vehicles. Or, if OP is in Northern Ireland (has OP said where she is?), it’s still legal to get cars on private land clamped.

dog grooming CF part 3

I would put a terse note on both CF cars, requesting payment for parking privileges before cars can be released

Someone’s suggestion to post pictures on the school/local Facebook is good, and don’t forget to add a link to this thread. The CFs will probably take the bus in future........

Get some neighbours to help then

Get them towed
