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?

Well done! That should teach them a lesson, how dare they launch into reasons why you have behaved badly without even a hint of humility!

Well done for sticking to your guns - that’s fabulous!

Grin oh the satisfaction!

Legend.

Emma198 · 15/06/2018 20:27

😂😂 wtf as if they didn't even apologise. You let them off lightly you should have asked why on earth they thought it was ok in the first place!

Jaspzeb · 15/06/2018 20:27

They didn't even apologise? How rude!
I used to live near a school, so feel your pain.
Glad they're trapped for night!

StripeyDeckchair · 15/06/2018 20:27

Sharron you are my hero today

Footballmumofthefuture · 15/06/2018 20:27

Did they even apologise though? C.F's!

DiabolicalMess · 15/06/2018 20:27

Nomination for classics on the grounds that this is the first time an OP has followed through and stood their ground on a CF parking thread GrinGrinGrin

SparkyBlue · 15/06/2018 20:27

OP you are absolutely amazing. That has made my weekend

GruciusMalfoy · 15/06/2018 20:27

Briiliant, just brilliant.

ISpeakJive · 15/06/2018 20:27

Don’t think I’ve ever read such a satisfactory ending to a parking thread....

Is it wrong to not want your car moved at 10am...... Blush

Paleshelter · 15/06/2018 20:27

Oh my goodness, well done OP!! Be careful though, if they have a brass neck to make out it's your fault and not apologise they might try something else.....

Spotsandstars · 15/06/2018 20:27

Oh. My. Days. Totally brilliant! I'm aghast that they didn't apologise, who does that?????!!!!
Well done to you and your DH legends!

Notthisnotthat · 15/06/2018 20:27

MCC85 · 15/06/2018 20:28

Amazing!
How fecking cheeky of them! Totally didn't get that they were in the wrong, I would still put on the school fb/Twitter and make sure the numberplates aren't blocked in the pictures!
Enjoy your evening OP, you deserve to for making ours!

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 15/06/2018 20:28

Oh bravo! Typical me to x-post!

honeylulu · 15/06/2018 20:28

SharronNeedles · 15/06/2018 20:28

DH would have shifted if they had of apologised but he said they way they spoke to him at first made him change his mind. I'm proud of him

Well done OP! Definitely still contact the school and tell them about the idiot parents/carers. I’m sure they will be much gossiped about next week. CFs indeed! Hopefully lesson learned. How dare they!

IWantMyHatBack · 15/06/2018 20:28

😂😂😂😂

Amazing.

Starburst8 · 15/06/2018 20:28

Jakethekid · 15/06/2018 20:28

Did they just walk away? Is your dash cam a movement activated one? Keep an eye out incase they get clever!

MrsMaryMooFace · 15/06/2018 20:28
