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?

Haha, go OP and DH.

Some years ago, someone from the school run parked on my drive. I just happened to pop home as I realised I'd forgotten something. I only worked a mile away so decided to park behind them and go to work. They called the police but were told that it was tough luck.

I moved when I got home at 5.30pm.

Ooh it's like the Elephant and the Bad Baby. "He never once said please"

Love your responses to them. Please please don't move the car tomorrow. Go out for the day....on foot

Absolutely amazing thread! Been on a gin distilling experience day so this has just rounded my day off a bloody treat! Well done for sticking to your guns

This thread is so satisfying to read. I feel like giving OO and her DH three loud cheers. In a world where there is often a lack of justice, this goes a little way to redressing the balance...

*OP

Sharron and neighbour - you are FABULOUS.

@mnhq this defo should go in classics. It's the perfect parking cf thread.

Amazing!!! Looking forward to the update tomorrow! You’ll be moving the car at 10pm right???

Bloody brilliant outcome OP! Please let us know what happens in the morning!

WhoooHooooo Well Bloody Done Sharon and your DH I'm so pleased he decided to stand up to them as well!

I'd still be letting the school know on Monday though,they need to be told by the head of the school that they support the poor neighbours not the few CF parents!

Oh, and your DH is also fabulous of course.

So. I guess we are all meeting here around noon for an update then?

How on earth could they be agressive. Stupid, entitled cocks

Great work OP 👏👏👏👏👏

Please make sure you make a new thread and link here before this one hits 1000 posts so we can all be updated tomorrow!!

Amazing on your part!!!

Pathetic of them to bring blokes with them.

Love your neighbour. Love your DH

I can’t believe the cheeky fuckers had a nerve to tell you you were unreasonable.

Best outcome of a parking thread ever! Please update us tomorrow when they come to collect (otherwise YABVVVU)

Such a brilliant thread. OP, you, your DH and your neighbour are absolute stars!

I need an update tomorrow but will be driving at 1000.

So want to see what you do - am keen on the you move and neighbour takes place, then curtain twitch from neighbours

Fantastic! Some people really are arseholes!

This thread has made my life complete

That’ll teach them

At exactly 10 tomorrow, emerge from your home dressed in your most fabulous outfit with hair and make up done. Take your phone out and make a point of slowly taking pics of each of the cars from all angles.

Tell them how rude they have been to a) park where they did yesterday b) leave aggressive notes, c) neglect to apologise.

Advice them that you have given all evidence to the school and you don't expect to see them parked on or across your driveway again.

Then want to your car, move it benevolently and return indoors without so much as a slam.

Keep the higher ground.

What an excellent outcome! Maybe it’ll make them think twice in future about being CFs.
