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?

What twats!

Best parking thread ever

Excellent performance, bravo, both of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ooh, what a satisfyingly good parking thread! Just read start to finish, brilliant!!!. OP, you are a hero. And respect to your DH too!

When they turn up tomorrow stand and wait deadpan. If they ask what you are waiting for, tell them an apology for parking on and across your drive. If they refuse turn around and go back in.

I've just read all 32 pages. CF gold

mousse oh trust me, he's gettin' some tonight 😉

This thread has made me so happy! Cheers!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This thread goes straight to Classics, right?

AMAZING

Much respect. Very classily done.

Well done op! Drinks all round.
I can't believe they had the cheek.to.turn up and not apologise - what the hell is.wrong with people. Please get a sorry and if they refuse to give you one don't move your car.
A sorry and a please or thank you costs nothing, esp if as they are in the wrong. Can't believe their spouses turned up mine would go spare if he learned I'd been that cheeky and rude!

Well an all round excellent thread, parking cheeky fuckery, a stand off and then a happy ending. Everybody wins - apart from the CFs who are setting their alarms for tomorrow morning.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGISE I'm on the floor with this!

Please tell them you meant 10pm they really haven't learnt their lesson

Best resolution to a parking thread ever!!! Well done! My DH asked me why I was laughing, so I told him and he roared in approval!!

oh trust me, he's gettin' some tonight 😉

Make sure it's very enthusiastic- then claim you've both put your backs out and can't drive !

Amazing

@mnhq ... I know snapped and farted went today... but can we have a double bubble and move this one? It truely is the parking thread to end all parking threads.

Like penguin bollards we will reference this in future!

Oddcat

I meant to add go out early without the car tomorrow

I meant to put a ! on the end

Classics I mean!!!

Best parking thread EVER.

I told my DH about this thread and he asked me what I would do if he told me he'd got blocked on someone else's drive. I said I'd say good on them, serves you right. He said he'd do exactly the same and the word you'll need is sorry when you go round there

I second (third) the notion of moving your car and getting a neighbour to park their car there.
