My first parking thread!

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?

Maybe this will teach the CFs to walk to school and pick the kids up in future, as they clearly live within a reasonable distance ;)

Really OP you’re helping to save the environment Grin

Can’t wait to hear the outcome keeping me entertained while the football is on

Hope the wine is delicious! Well done OP, CF parking is so bloody enraging.

This thread has kept me entertained while I wait for DC3 to nod off so I can join you with the wine!

Anymore news? I would have thought they might have been back with their burly OH's to knock on your door...imagine that!

ALemonyPea · 15/06/2018 20:09

North east you say? Pm me your street so I can come watch 😁

Really hope their cars stop there until Monday.

Maelstrop · 15/06/2018 20:11

Place marking big time! OP, you are a legend!

Betsy86 · 15/06/2018 20:12

Totally invested and definitely not a placemark...

My eldest has joined Mumsnet to read this. Can you put some artificial grass on the car roof and maybe a small shrub?

Best parking thread ever!

LakieLady · 15/06/2018 20:15

If I lived in the north-east I would drive over and park behind your car (with your permission, of course) and DP could drive the motorhome and park it behind my car ...

And we'd sleep in the motorhome so that if they turned up in the night we could enjoy their discomfort.

Anyone want to be a fly on the wall of the 2 drivers homes, while they explaining to their other halves why their cars are not parked at their homes.
