Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

So NC for this as not sure if neighbours are on here.

I am off today & woke up to the sound of doors banging and loud voices.

Have a glance out of bedroom window & there are 2 vans & a land rover parked on my ACTUAL drive!

Now I guess it's easily mistaken as a public car park Hmmso don't say anything immediately but once I'm up and toddler is dressed I go downstairs to see.

My next door neighbours are away on holiday. But of a weird driveway as their house has its own but it's round the back of ours and ours is at front so if you use sat nav it brings you to ours as their house is other side of our driveway ifyswim.

Diagram to show you what I mean.

Anyway they are unloading tools etc onto big sheets on my drive and walking over grass to neighbours

I said to them it was a private drive and could they move onto neighbours and they said they won't be long Angry

I was too shocked to say much more than 'no please move now'

Grrrrrrr!

Do you each have individual exits off the main road? I think your diagram needs to zoom out Grin

Littleduckeggblue · 07/08/2019 16:46

Well done op!
Ring your hubby and go out for food.

crankysaurus · 07/08/2019 16:46

Go out for dinner? Meet your DH somewhere nice and relaxing.

PinkyPrincessy · 07/08/2019 16:47

After all those drawings you deserve DH paying for dinner out tonight. Enjoy!

CruellaFeinberg · 07/08/2019 16:48

major CF

Tiredmumno1 · 07/08/2019 16:50

I'd have been spying from round the corner, just to see his face when he realises OP locked it 😂

Although I hope he doesn't cut the lock or damage the gates if he tries to get the van out.

tiredteddy123 · 07/08/2019 16:50

Absolutely do NOT open those gates tonight!! I would park on the road all night and keep the van locked in. Make sure you have a photo of the van behind the locked gates also in case CF tries to break out.

PepsiLola · 07/08/2019 16:53

Haha! Be told worker men!

You have them the chance to move and they did not. Leave them there for the night.

Tough titties

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 16:54

He laughed at you? Sorry but what a fucking prick.

I have a feeling your dh will just let him how but it’s actually awful that he’s blatantly done what he wants and will get away with it!!!

I’d warn dh not to let him out and I swear I would keep gate locked and not let him out, even when you return.

I’d go in and neck a glass of wine and say you can’t drive and/or hide keys. I am 100% serious.

There was a thread on here before about someone who parked in OP’s drive and she left them there overnight and the next day the driver’s husband came to collect the car.

Please, PLEASE don’t just let him away with this!!

ColdToesHere · 07/08/2019 16:54

He laughed!! The cheeky arrogant brat

MotherofTerriers · 07/08/2019 16:56

Do you have any tins of paint left over from redecorating? I'd let your toddler decorate the nice man's van

Bookworm4 · 07/08/2019 16:57

He’s had 6/7 hours to move, bet he wouldn’t have done this to a big burly bloke. Arsehole!

PepsiLola · 07/08/2019 16:57

I'd defo have an empty bottle of wine by the door to say "oops can't drive"

He laughed in a as if you would kinda way. Hope he's realised the twat.

I've called company again and no answer.

My DH knows and is mad too albeit he's more laid back than me. If that's possible.

I am out shopping so going to enjoy browsing! Told DH to not leave work yet - he can't anyway as busy plus then has a 20 min cycle home.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 07/08/2019 16:59

He's an arrogant fucker who totally thinks he's got what he wanted (ie to park his van there all day), hence the laughing. Please keep him blocked in tonight and for as long as possible. He really is an asshole. Can you call your neighbours? I'd be phoning them and giving them merry hell for this as they're also responsible for this situation.

PamelaTodd · 07/08/2019 17:00

I was on the fence until he laughed.
Angry

LadyBahBahBah · 07/08/2019 17:00

Bravo OP I just hope the CF doesn't barge and damage your gates Sad

YouJustDoYou · 07/08/2019 17:01

He laughed! Fucking bastard. They're always always such fucking cowards because they would never do this to a man and laugh in a man's face. Bet he's got a tiny little prick, which is why he's such a massive one to women, major hidden insecurities.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 07/08/2019 17:03

Best.Diagrams.Ever!

Grin

Love the annotations too!

Hope you’ve managed to delay his exit sufficiently to make him huff and puff.

Moondancer73 · 07/08/2019 17:03

What a shame you're not going to do a night shift.

SynchroSwimmer · 07/08/2019 17:03

I’m impressed that you have bollards. #envious!
Great diagram

IvanaPee · 07/08/2019 17:06

Thing is if he’s not inconvenienced today he’s literally gotten away with it!

So even when you get home DON’T LET HIM MOVE!!! 😡😡😡

Sparklfairy · 07/08/2019 17:11

This would never have happened if those bollards had been of the penguin variety
