Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

[lovesapinot]

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 so 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

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

Grrrrrrr!

Well done for not buckling when they called @lovesapinot

I'd ask for some 'compensation' to return from work and release his van. Lots.

This is so much fun! I keep coming back just for updates!

Were they even apologetic when they called?!

Make sure the 'compensation' is in cash too!

Been glued on this all day, excellent work op, diagrams and your actions.

The cheek of it! All he had to do was apologise when you first pointed out that he was parked on your drive, and move his van. Problem solved. Surely that's what most normal human beings would do?!

I'm not even gonna deny my shameful placemark - PLACEMARK!!!

This is amazing! The diagrams! The parking drama! Favourite thread in a long time. Cannot believe the cajones on van man thinking he can park willy nilly all over someone's drive! The brass neck! Handling it beautifully @lovesapinot Pleeeease keep us updated. If you post actual pictures I can end my MN career here and now and resign happy.

Best car parking thread ever!

You could ask his boss to pass on a message to him?

"Tell him I said: 'Yeah, in a minute, love.'"

The cheek of calling you to move! 😂

I'd enjoy this thread if I could actually see the diagrams!!

This is the best thread I’ve ever read! I hope all of the FB group rallies round and take it in turns double-blocking. I also hope the CF learns his lesson. You’re a hero, OP!

I love your neighbour and local Facebook group.

A mass blocking in. Do it!

Ha!! The cheek of them ignoring you until they needed to get their employee out.

Well done OP! Stay strong!

Stay strong. Do not let your husband give in. Feel free to name and shame the company on here.

I'm a bit worried that he's going to damage your gate so that he can get out

If he damages the gate then it will be.pretty obvious who had damaged it and his employer will have to pay to get them fixed

Fantastic, love a good live parking thread! What an arrogant arsehole, how dare he laugh! Hope your DH comes to meet you and you go have a lovely dinner or something! Wee glass of

I think he will cut your lock.... and probably be back to finish working next door tomorrow.

Can your neighbour video him if he goes to gate again?

If he damaged gate, police could be involved and the reputation of the know company could be in tatters as its on the local fb page

Are you actually on a night shift or just a pretend one?

LOve love this! But the drawings would have been better if you had actually drawn the roads so we could see how the cars enter the driveways. Other than that, they are brill. The last image with labels pointing to where the roads are helped.

Top thread! What time do you actually have to go home, @lovesapinot ?

Can your neighbour tip you off when he has left (sans van, presumably)?
