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?

Sharron just read the whole thing, reading the main points to DP.

We love you.

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 15/06/2018 21:44

Yay! Well done op and mr op!

Marmablade · 15/06/2018 21:45

The best thing about this is you keeping your cool and simply being unable to move the cars due to legitimate alcohol consumption. Classic end! The fact they brought men but no apologies shows they need to sleep on the issue to reflect on their behaviour.

SneakyGremlins · 15/06/2018 21:45

Shantay you stay at least your car should Grin

When they turn up tomorrow, tell them they have to say these words,' I'm a CF, I'm so sorry for parking on/across your drive and inconveniencing you and I will never do it again'. If they refuse, shut the door. When they ring again, say politely, 'Can I help you? 'Repeat, repeat until they say those words and record it. Ring the DM too and get them there at 10.

That is all 🤣🤣

Keep your camera on incase of any mysterious damage...

CloudCaptain · 15/06/2018 21:48

I would invoice them the cost of parking there. Then point out how much it will cost them in future. Bunch of CF's indeed! Cannot believe they were brazen enough to blame you.

traceyturnblatt · 15/06/2018 21:49

@SneakyGremlins 😁

YetAnotherUser · 15/06/2018 21:49

Let the air out of the tyres.

Then offer to lend them a foot pump at the rate of £100/hr. Money up front, of course.

Hoopaloop · 15/06/2018 21:51

Wrap the car up in clingfilm and smear jam over individual layers so it gets chock full of bees and ants and shit like that.

billybagpuss · 15/06/2018 22:09

Did they all turn up, or was it just one of the, if so orange or green car?

DiabolicalMess · 15/06/2018 22:10

Demand 3 acts of worship before moving actually not just an apology.

Bubbles121 · 15/06/2018 22:11
